Businessman and philanthropist Olakunle Churchill sparked widespread reactions online after posting an emotional message in celebration of Father’s Day.
The post surfaced amid noticeable silence from his ex-wife, actress Tonto Dikeh, and his current wife, Rosy Meurer, both of whom did not publicly acknowledge or celebrate him on the significant occasion.
Churchill’s heartfelt message quickly drew attention, as he openly expressed gratitude for fatherhood while also offering prayers for his children.
In his message, he wrote:
“Happy Father’s Day to me ❤️. Today, I thank God for the gift and privilege of being a father. May He continue to strengthen me, guide me, and bless me with wisdom, patience, and grace to lead my children well.”
He went further to pray specifically for his children, adding: “Prayers for my children 🙏May God protect them, keep them healthy, and surround them with His favour. May they grow in wisdom, love, and the knowledge of God. May their paths be filled with purpose, peace, and success, and may they become a source of joy and pride for generations to come (amen) 🙏”
