During a chat Dele Momodu, actress and entrepreneur Tonto Dikeh addressed the issues between her and her estranged ex-husband Churchill Olakunle.
While speaking on the topic of the importance of forgiveness, she stated that she eventually came to the realization that forgiveness is about yourself and not essentially the other person who offended them.
She said she has now forgiven Churchill and all the wrongs he committed against her for the sake of her son.
“A man I love and respect always, talked to me about forgiveness and I have come to realize that forgiveness is not about the next person,” she said.
“I know that forgiveness is not about the next person but the explanation I got recently really wowed me. It says I have forgiven you not because you have to be forgiven, I have forgiven you because I do not want to put myself in a place of stagnation when it comes to growth.”
“I do not want to put myself in a place of stagnation when it comes to love, I do not want to put myself in a place of warship, progressing, my career.”
“Forgiveness is a whole lot and I only just realized that the bible says that if we do not forgive, God cannot forgive us. All these things are in the bible but it never really made an impact on me until someone really explained it.”
