Actress Tonto Dikeh has credited her 10-year-old son King André’s prayer for ending her bitter feud with ex-husband Olakunle Churchill.
Speaking at Streams of Joy International, Dikeh revealed in her testimony that her son had prayed for the release of his passport, held by Churchill, amidst their public battle.
Shortly after, Dikeh said Churchill contacted her, offering to release the documents.
Dikeh’s son’s forgiveness and maturity prompted her to forgive Churchill, marking a significant transformation.
The actress praised God for ending a decade of war, shame, and lack of love, attributing the miracle to her son’s sincere prayer.
She said, “I’m giving this testimony on behalf of a 10-year-old boy because I am a beneficiary of a sincere prayer of a 10-year-old. At the beginning of the 21-day fast, Papa asked us to write seven things that we wanted and seven things that we didn’t want, and I told him, ‘Yes, write it.’ One of the evenings when I came to church to pray, I stayed behind to pray, and I was advantaged to have brought mine and his; I brought the prayer request to the altar.
“As a mother, I saw his prayer points. I read them, and they were just different things. Then I got to number six, and my son wrote: ‘God, I want the embassy to release my passport.’ And that’s where the story comes. You see, I have always told my son that his passport was held by the embassy. I never even told him the truth at all, and the truth was that the passport was with his father. And his father and I have been in long, toxic, demonic battles; it’s been public, it is worldwide.
“So I saw it, and I just sighed, and I said, ‘Oh God.’ I didn’t think much about it. Church, exactly two days later, now this testimony is from the first week of the 21-day prayer. His father reached out to me and said, ‘I want to give every document this boy needs; every document that you left with me.’ And for some reason, the Holy Spirit just told me, ‘He’s real. He’s serious. Believe him.’ And I just stood there, and I believed him. He asked me a series of questions, and those questions made me realize that it was time for me to talk to my son about who his father is.” She stated.
She further explained, “So, I sat him down, and I asked, ‘Have you ever wondered who your dad is?’ I said, ‘I’m very sorry, what I’m about to say might hurt you.’ And then he said, ‘Mommy, talk.’ So I told him, ‘A man and a woman got married and gave birth to you, and then it became war.’ And then he said, ‘Really?’ I said, ‘Yeah. We were so bitter, we were toxic, and in the midst of all of this, we affected you. I’m sorry.’
“And then he looked at me and said, ‘So, have you forgiven him?’ I didn’t answer. He said, ‘Mommy, have you forgiven him?’ And then I looked at my son because he’s very authoritative, and he said, ‘If you’ve forgiven him, I have forgiven you. But I’m upset with you for not telling me. But it’s okay, I can understand better now.’
“Church, I’m telling you that this is 10 years of war. 10 years of public shame. 10 years. 10 years without a boy knowing his father. 10 years of bitterness, 10 years of lack of love, and everything just dissolved in front of my child. My child just held my hands, and I was crying. Then I started praying for that man. I prayed for that man.”
She emphasised, “You don’t understand. Ex-presidents have intervened, but I said no. I said no because of how bitter I was. When I said I would burn the bridge, if you’re coming, I’ll burn you, it was not a lie. That was who I was. I had so much bitterness and anger.”
“Church, I see myself addressing my ex-husband as he should be addressed. If it were before, I would have used a derogatory sentence or something added to his name. I see myself forgiving. You see, the biggest testimony in this life is the testimony of a changed person, because I have peace that doesn’t even make sense. It doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t. But God gave me 10 years in one day. I just want to give glory to God”, she said.
Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Wizkid has sparked a fresh supremacy battle with his colleague, Burna Boy, after insinuating that he was chosen to close the Afronation concert in Portugal over Burna Boy, who performed on the opening day, because he is “the best.”
DAILY POST reports that Burna Boy’s fans have been praising him on social media for performing on the opening day of Afronation Portugal, claiming that the organisers made him the first-day headliner because he has more star power than Wizkid and other artistes slated to perform at the festival.
Wizkid seemingly responded to this midway into his performance at the festival on Sunday. The Starboy boss boasted that he was scheduled to perform last after Burna Boy and others because he is the best.
“Big Wiz is here. This is why you save the best for the last, baby,” he said.
His remark has since gone viral on social media, with fans interpreting it as a response to the ongoing debate over the performance order involving him and Burna Boy.
Recall that Wizkid and Burna fell out a few months ago after the latter attacked the farmer’s official disc jockey, DJ Tunez, at a nightclub in Lagos.
Nigerian TikToker cum social media influencer, has reportedly been detained by the Lagos State Police operatives.
Naijapunchnews learnt that Peller was arrested for driving a tinted car, and for not having a plate number.
However, Nigerian content creator, Tunde Perry, speaking on TikTok live on Monday, raised alarm over the continuous detention of Peller by the police.
Tunde revealed that Peller was arrested on Friday while returning home from a shooting location in the Lekki area of Lagos.
He said, “Peller has been in police station since Friday. He is still there till now. That is why he has not been online.
“The incident happened in Lekki, but it has now been transferred to Ikeja.”
In other news, Peller denied rumours claiming that his fiancée, Jarvis, is expecting a baby.
Speculation about Jarvis being pregnant has been making the rounds on social media in recent weeks.
Many users pointed to photos and videos of her, claiming they noticed what looked like a baby bump.
The rumours became stronger after a video of the couple shopping for their wedding asoebi fabric appeared online, with some viewers saying her stomach looked bigger than usual.
Speaking during a livestream, Peller rejected the claims, saying he and Jarvis are not planning to have a child at this stage of their relationship.
According to him, he wants to become far more successful financially before starting a family.
The influencer explained that people were wrongly linking Jarvis’ appearance to pregnancy, adding that her stomach looked bigger because she had eaten late at night.
He urged people to stop spreading the rumours, insisting that parenthood would come only when they both decide the time is right.
Davido has explained the reason behind his emotional tribute during his performance at the FIFA World Cup, saying he could not remain silent while children and teachers are still missing in Nigeria.
Speaking on the gesture, the Afrobeats star said many people avoid discussing the country’s security challenges because they want to protect Nigeria’s image, but insisted that there is no image to protect when innocent children are being abducted.
> “A lot of people don’t really want to talk about what is going on in our country. Simply because they want to protect the image. But there’s no image to protect if little kids are being kidnapped,” Davido said.
The singer noted that although he was honoured to perform at the World Cup, he believed it was important to use the global stage to draw attention to the plight of the abducted pupils and teachers from Oyo State.
According to him, everyone has a unique way of making an impact, and his platform is music and live performances.
> “My power is in music and performances. These students and teachers have been missing and still haven’t been found. So yeah, I used my platform to project what’s really going on,” he added.
