On Sunday, July 26, Tonto Dikeh, had an interview with Journalist, Dele Momodu where she revealed that she has forgiven her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill, for the sake of their child, King Andre.

Tonto while speaking on the importance of forgiveness, said she has come to realize that forgiveness is not about the next person but about one’s self. She said she has gotten to read the part of the bible where God said he wouldn’t forgive us if we do not forgive others. She added that she forgives easily now but doesn’t like being provoked by the things a person does after she has forgiven him or her.

She spoke in an Instalive video with Jounalist, Dele Momodou as she stressed on the importance of forgiveness.

She said “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.
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.

So today I would tell you that for me it comes really easy. I forgive a lot but I just don’t like to get provoked by the things that you do after it. I think forgiveness is essential for one’s growth”.
