Tonto Dikeh has released a tell-all video titled “Evidence” in which she addressed her failed marriage to Churchill as well as the rumors and claims that have been flying around, some of them made by her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill Oladunni.
The actress said she is doing the video for her son, so he can grow up to see the fight she put up for him.
She said:
First of all, I’m a mother. Not just a mother, but a mother who is dangerously in love with her son and I want my son to grow up and watch or listen to my own side of the story that I told him through my channel because, really, this is for my son, not really for the public.
She continued:
Secondly, I’m doing this because my son’s father has constantly been pricking and pushing me to do a lot of irrational things online that is not me, because of the things that he’s doing behind the scenes.
She acknowledged that she knows the drama surrounding her marriage to Churchil Olakunle Oladunni is “overflogged” but she needs to address it in order to put it to rest.
She said at the start of the video: “I’ll like to clear up all the lies, all the allegations, and everything once and for all.”
In the interview, the mother-of-one released some “evidence” to prove that her claims about her ex-husband Churchill and his mother are true.
Some of the accusations she made in the video were that Churcill was a scammer and his mother was in on it. She claims she was the “biggest scam” Churchill ever pulled and she fell for it.
She said: “I feel terrible, I feel used. I am the bigest scam that Churchill Olakunle Oladunni has ever played in his life.”
She added in the tell-all video: “This is his mother, in on the same scam. The first time I met them, his mother told me she’s Obasanjo’s wife. It’s a scam. He told me he’s Obasanjo’s son. He’s a scam.
“He (Churchill) was a librarian for Obasanjo.
“His father, God bless is soul, even if I did not know him, I’m not sure I’d have hated him totally.
“This is his father. (She proceeds to show a photo of a man who Churchill bears a striking resemblance to).
“This is who his father is. His father was Obasanjo’s gardener that graduated into being a spiritual leader. This is his father.
Not for one day have they ever posted this man’s picture (their real father). Because they want to keep scamming people that they’re Obasanjo’s son.”
She also claimed that Churchill constantly beat her up then connived to ensure that the CCTV footage proving this never gets released.
She said: “Why was the CCTV camera not released? Because he… He can’t release it because those tapes show how much he constantly beat me up.”
The mother-of-one broke down in tears as she showed a document to her viewers and accused her son’s father of embarrassing their son.
She accused him of being a “Yahoo boy” and said she once caught him red handed.
She said:
Now, fraud, 419, Yahoo.
You know, you go online, you dupe white women, you go online, you dupe people. that’s what my son’s father does.
I’m not proud of it.
I told you, I say this interview, it’s mainly not for Nigerians.
I want my son to grow up, I’m not the kind of mother that’s going to hide things from her son. No. My son will know everything and the whole truth.
So, yes. My son’s father is a fraud. He does Yahoo.
How I know, because I caught him in the middle of a red candle, with laptop in his lap and a red clothe tied around his waist.
Tonto Dikeh went on to insist she was the one who paid for her traditional marriage to Churchill and bought all the things he claimed he bought for her. She also spoke about her reason for doing this.

Nigerian fashion designer Veekee James has clapped back at a troll criticising her appearance. The troll, commenting on James’ Instagram post, claimed that her beauty was solely due to filters and wigs.
In response, James posted a video directly addressing the hater on October 25, 2024. Without makeup or a wig, she emphasized the importance of positive online behaviour and its impact on others. James’ message was clear: she is beautiful in her natural state and will not tolerate negativity.
“The problem with many of you is that you are not very smart,” she started.
She continued, “Many of you aren’t very smart because you should be very intentional about the kind of energy you give off and where you give off that energy because, whether it be negative energy or positive energy, you should be concerned about the result of the energy you give off.”
Veekee James advised the troll to focus their energy on something more productive.
She emphasized that negative comments would not affect her self-esteem. She said,
“If you come on my page and drop something that is supposed to make me feel ashamed of something that is supposed to make me feel bad, you should be ready to see that it yields results, right? Based on the fact that you know what I’m someone who feels ashamed when people say stuff about me, when people say negative things about me, then you should know that this energy your bringing is going to hit.”
“But if you know that when you keep giving some of energy and it’s not giving results, my brother, my sister, why are you wasting your time? Why waste your time where you won’t get results?”the designer added.
Veekee stated that negative comments do not bother her as much as the troll might think.
“It’s clear you’re not purpose or self-driven, who would be ashamed to come on social media with my natural face?”
She embraced her natural beauty, saying, “This is the face of someone who hasn’t slept in days and has been under the sun. This is a perfect face and a face designer by God, and skin created by the almighty. He made me in his own image I’m 100 percent. If you want to talk rubbish, go to the place where it might be appreciated… You can’t shame the shameless; I am unapologetically me.”
