Some fans of Nigerian businessman Olakunle Churchill have queried him for excluding his son with ex-wife, Tonto Dikeh, from his Father’s Day tribute.
Kemi Filani reported that in celebration of Father’s Day, Churchill shared a video of himself and three of his kids—his first daughter and two children with wife Rosy Meurer. Olakunle wished himself a happy Father’s Day. The philanthropist, who excluded his first son with ex-wife Tonto, declared himself the Father of the Year as he admonished his fans to dream big.
His fans took to his comment section to question him for excluding the actress’s son.

One hajiahawa47 wrote, “You only post your first son on his birthday, why not include him in the video. Meaning you don’t do ur responsibility on him as a father
One Udochukwu_h wrote, “Bro, delete this post now and start from Tonto Dikeh’s son first. This is not good. Delete immediately.”
It is surprising to see Churchill exclude Tonto Dikeh’s son in the video, as on Children’s Day, he had celebrated his four children. He described them as his precious jewels and praised them for brightening his world. Raining prayers on them, he assured them of how loved they were and stated that no matter how far away or close they were, he would love and support them.
Despite his co-parenting drama with Tonto, Churchill has never ceased to show love to their son, King Andre.
Back in February, Olakunle wished him a happy birthday and affirmed his love for him, promising to always support and cheer on him. Churchill expressed pride at how kind, smart, and wonderful his son was becoming and prayed that God would continue to bless and guide him.
Last year, Dikeh slammed him for only acknowledging his son on his birthday, calling him a deadbeat father. She noted how Churchill and his family claimed they won court case on child custody but they decided to leave the child for her, which was a lie as she won the child custody battle and was given full custody of their son, hence, Olakunle Churchill’s anger.
Hitting back, Churchill shared an audio conversation between Tonto and her ex-boyfriend, Kpokpogri, where she pleaded with him not to allow Churchill have access to his son. Exposing Tonto for her lies with proof, he said Tonto restricted all access to his son as he only asked to visit him in school and take responsibility as a father, and also revealed that he once gave Tonto Dikeh a gift, however, she threw it away and also threatened to burn any gifts sent and send videos as proof.
