Olakunle Churchill, the estranged husband of Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has taken to social media to pen a heart-melting message to his son Andre as he clocks four today.

Churchill and Tonto’s union hit the rock in 2016.

Since the marriage crashed, the couple has, at different times, taken to social media to wash their dirty linens.

The controversy trailing their failed marriage took a different dimension May last year when Tonto released a three-part video interview where she claimed that her estranged husband and father of her son is into cyber fraud popularly called Yahoo Yahoo. According to her, she found out when she caught him in the middle of red candles with a red cloth tied to his waist with a laptop in his lap.

The controversial actress added that the claims she made in the video are some of the reasons she quit the marriage.

WuzupNigeria reported that Churchill has sued Tonto over the claims made in the viral videos and is demanding N500 million in damages.

The couple also engaged in a legal battle over who takes custody of their son Andre and the upkeep of the child.

To celebrate Andre as he clocks four today, Churchill took to his Instagram and penned a two-part post declaring his love for him.

He also threw a jibe at Tonto over what he described as attempts to prevent him from seeing his son.

Churchill wrote:

“It is with the deepest and sincerest love, not just as a man, but as a father that I celebrate the one after my heart. Today marks the blessed day that my son King Andre breathe his first air in this world.

“I, therefore, pray for the goodness of God upon your life to blossom, his protection, guidance and good health, continue to grow in the unprecedented grace of almighty God.

“On this special day, there are some things I’d like to share, even though my heart feels so heavy to say this but it’s basically to shed more light to the darkness created by bitterness… son its is very imperative to speak to you at this point.

“It’s important to know that no child came into this world by the means of one entity; it’s always through the coming together of a man and a woman (parents). In addition, I want you to know that you have a father and he’s right here with you. I AM HERE FOR YOU IRRESPECTIVE OF CHALLENGES AND SITUATIONS between the union of my self and your mom.

“The same blood runs in us, nothing can change that. No one can change your name or turn your face away from me, you are my blood and forever you will be mine.”

He continued:

I remembered winning the judgement in court to have access to you two days before your 2nd birthday in 2018. The court insisted that your mother should grant me access to see you whenever I want through a Nanny, you can even visit me on holidays and other special events, also I was given your international passport and all your credentials after showing payment proves.

The condition was fine by me as a caring father, even though I have always wanted to have you by my side all day and all night, play together, tell tales and assist in your home works, instill the needed discipline but the situations at hand couldn’t because we need to respect the judgement to avoid contempt of the court.

Unfortunately, my dear son, the agreement was breached by for flimsy excuses, I couldn’t forget in a hurry the fun we had together the last time we met, but today I must reiterate that all the excuses for the denial is basically unacceptable to me because I can’t imagine the saying that you have no Nanny till this present moment simply because the court said we should always meet through the nanny.

I’m taking my time to see that the court’s judgement is handled without troubles, I hope the court will have to review those conditions again.

King, you are my son and the love that exits between us is immeasurable and inseparable.

This is my prayer for you:

– Nothing in this world will deprive you of your kingly entitlement, and nothing can change who you are.

– You shall not be used as a tool of envy or hate. You are a loved son of his father.

-You will grow and be nurtured in the way of God and nothing can dim your shining light.

– I pray that you shall live to be a king, and follow the Godly footsteps that I’m laying for you today. I named you KING ANDREA for a purpose; because you’re royalty.

-May the Almighty God continue to bless and keep you safe, my dearest son.

I love you with every fiber of my being.

“I promise to continue the fight for you because it is a good fight and by the grace of God we wining. All the best in your pursuits. Happy Birthday, Son. Your Dad, Churchill.”
