Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has opened up about her journey to forgiveness following her reconciliation with her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill.

In a post shared on her Instagram page on Monday, she revealed that hundreds of women have reached out to her seeking advice on how to forgive.

Dikeh disclosed that she had personally reached out to at least 10 women whose pain mirrored hers, helping them reconcile and restore peace in their relationships. She emphasized that forgiveness is not for the person who hurt you but for your own freedom and healing.

She also noted that true closure comes from God, not from people.

She wrote:
“Ever since my reconciliation with my ex-husband, hundreds of women have reached out asking the same question: How did you learn to forgive? While I couldn’t reply to everyone, I reached out to those whose pain mirrored my own. Today, to the glory of God, at least 10 women have been reconciled restoring peace, healing hearts, and stepping into healthy co-parenting. God has truly turned my personal story into a tool for restoration.”

“If you are carrying bitterness today, please hear this: Forgiveness is never for the person who hurt you; it is for you. It is the key to moving your life forward. God will not inflict pain on others just because we are hurting. It is our own responsibility to release that weight and set ourselves free.”

“True closure doesn’t come from people, it comes from God. He promises to restore the years that the cankervorm has eaten. Not just days or weeks, but years. Every tear you’ve shed and every year spent in pain will be turned into a powerful testimony. To every woman praying for peace, healing, and family restoration: may my story be a beacon of hope for you and yours. Amen.”

The Nigerian Voice recalls that Tonto and Churchill had publicly reconciled in January 2026 ahead of their son’s 10th birthday, a move that sparked widespread attention and debate on social media.
