Amidst accusations and counter accusations involving celebrity couple; Tonto Dikeh and Olakunle Churchill, the hubby has revealed the violent personality in the mariage.
In
a recent interview with Media Room Hub, Churchill explained how he had
managed Tonto's anger and temperament saying her alcohol abuse and drug
intake has been her major problem.
Who is Olakunle Churchill?
Olakunle
Churchill is a philanthropist and the chairman of Big Church group of
companies. We have
six subsidiaries; Big Church Haven LTD, King Andrea
Realtors, Big Church Consult, Big Church Entertainment, Big Church Green
Agriculture and Mining, Big Church foundation.
How did you meet Tonto Dikeh?
I met her at my brother's birthday party at Escape night club two and half years ago.
What then transpired?
We
became friends, we exchanged contact and got along. After six months
she got pregnant, so I decided to take her to her hometown to pay her
dowry.
In her recent interview she said she watched you make every dime you have now.
No
that's not possible, I met her two year, six months ago and I've been
into real estate since I was 22 years old so I don't understand where
that is coming from.
So are you saying that you were already made before you met Tonto and married her?
Well,
I can't say I'm made yet but I've been working since I was 22 and I'm
good. When I met her, I had 4 companies and now I have 6 companies,
people grow every day.
Tell us about the incident that happened in Ghana?
I
picked her from the airport just a day before her birthday, which was
June 8, 2015. We had a misunderstanding and she decided to go to an
hotel. I sent her a text the next day that I was going for a friend's
house warming, I got a call that she came home around 3, 4 and started
breaking everything in the house. Luckily for me, I switched off the
electric fence wire before I left the house, she started from the
electric fence, pulled it down and jumped into my compound. I called the
police and they were already in my house before I got there. My
neighbors also called the police because of the noise, where I live in
Ghana is very calm.
What happened when the police got to the house?
When
the police got to the house, she started attacking them and was about
tearing their cloths. There's this thing about my wife, it's just like a
crisis, it doesn't stop for like two to three hours. I'm sorry I'm
saying this, but I have to.
What do you mean by crisis?
She
gets too temperamental due to negative intakes. Alcohol abuse is
negative, Marijuana is negative, anything that has something to do with
drug abuse is negative. At the long run we got to the police station and
she was rude to the superintendent of the police there. When her anger
starts, even six men can't hold Tonto down, talkless of me hitting
Tonto. She uses everything she has to fight and destroys everything to
zero. All I did was hold her at some point but it didn't help. Even the
police were surprised, she even spat on one of them. When she granted
the last interview, she mentioned Ghana embassy and police. Ghana Police
took her to the embassy because she was unable to pay for the damages
and the embassy pleaded on her behalf. When that event took place, I
covered everything. I took everyone's phone and deleted every picture, I
closed everything just to cover her because she's a celebrity. She
mentioned that she was beaten and then she ran to the embassy stark
naked, and as soon as I saw that I requested for my own story and I have
it here. So to those people saying I sponsored the police, you can't
sponsor Ghanaian police. This is the withdrawal letter, I can't really
explain but she destroyed a lot of things. When she's in that state,
even six men cannot hold her, even the police couldn't stop her. So
after this, she was locked up, I wrote a withdrawal letter and bailed
her, I wanted her to replace my properties but I withdrew it, if not,
she was going to jail. When I took her out from the cell, she said 'if
you forgive me, that means you are an angel', and she promised never to
go back to drugs or alcohol. Three weeks after this event, she took in.
All through her nine months of pregnancy, she was a perfect woman and a
perfect person till four months after she gave birth to King, then she
started again. She has damaged over 66 million naira worth of
properties. I've tried my best to revive her back to who she was when
she was pregnant or just immediately after she had King but that's been
my major problem. I have evidences of some of the property she damaged. I
have somebody around Tonto that monitors her and gives me updates on
what she does; when she calls bloggers, when she tries to blackmail me,
when she sends information.
Tonto said you hit King your son, what led to this?
How
would I hit King, no it’s not possible. King is not up to one year,
he's a little boy that can't talk. What can a one year old boy do to
you, that's not possible. The day before my son's birthday I called the
nanny, and fortunately for me, the nanny was not inside the house with
my wife. (Plays a recording of the phone conversation to the
interviewer) I got a GMC jeep and thought I was going to be able to
arrange something but all efforts proved futile. I was down on social
media, I'm not a social media person but I was forced to drop comments
to boost something because I was told that my wife can only be found on
social media.
Tonto showed several scars during the interview that she said you inflicted on her, what do you have to say to that?
There's
nothing like that, the only scar I'm aware about was the one on her
leg. In my mum's house, she was breaking stuffs and it got to a point
that she was coming towards me, her best friend was trying to hold her
back, her male best friend. It was like she was crazy, she already broke
down everything: television, kitchen utensils, and dispenser. I was in
shock because she has done this in my house up to four times and in
seven to eight months I've lost over 66 million naira, but this was my
mum's house. As her best friend was trying to hold her down, her best
friend is the one that gets her cloths. In fact he was crying and saying
' Tonto stop, what are you doing', she just put her leg into the glass
by the staircase and that's how she got the injury. I have a video here,
that's where she got the cut from, anything apart from that is not
real. (Shows the video to the interviewer) I'm a philanthropist, I'm
against domestic violence, I have never raised my hands against any
woman and I will never.
Tonto stated that she lost her four months pregnancy due to the abuse by you?
There
was no time, I met her six months before she conceived, then she was
pregnant for another four months before she travelled, she got back and
she's been breastfeeding and she just stopped breastfeeding like three
weeks ago so where's the pregnancy from? I don't understand. This woman
told me earlier that she's going to get everything to bring me down,
because she has a foundation and I have a foundation too. Other things
are involved but she's been trying everything. I have somebody in her
campaign that gives me all the updates. Even how she made all the scars
in her body, she called somebody to makeup the scars. The only thing
that happened to Tonto was the scars she got from my mother's house. So
I'm not a woman beater, I've never done that in my life and I will never
beat any woman. I can never do that, but she's trying everything hard
because she knows the kind of person I am. She knows I have big plans
for the future so she's trying everything. I'm not an actor, I cannot
act, I cannot cry. Her interview was like 95 percent lies; the only
truth there was 'I love my husband'. About sexual transmitted disease, I
don't even know, not in this millennium. The last time I had STD was in
secondary school. At this stage of my life, STD is not possible. She's
just trying everything, I don't know what she wants but I think she's
trying to stay out of marriage. I was not even around when she moved
from my house, she came with two trucks, she moved everything and then
she said that she left the house without nothing. She moved all her
things, it was planned, she got another house and till date, I don't
know where she moved to. I tried to reach her even before King's
birthday but she didn't give me access. Even till date, her family and
my family tried to reconcile us for about 9 times. The ninth time was
just ten days ago, and she always pretend as if we are cool but as soon
as they leave, she blocks me and blocks my number so I don't know what
she wants. (Shows the interviewer the reconciliation video)
Tell us about Rosaline, your wife said you left her and your son for Rosaline and that you are in love with her.
Rosaline
Meurer has been with us since we started Big Church Foundation, I've
known her for a very long time and she plays a major role in the
foundation. My wife cannot tell me that she doesn't know who Rosaline
is. I've known her before I met my wife and my wife has met her. It is
not possible for my wife to say she has not met her before because
there's been an occasion where we hung out with Rosaline's family and
had dinner together. I have never been out of my matrimonial home for
two months. We had a summit in Switzerland and I gave close to 22 people
visas, all my staffs, I gave them European visas. How they got their
tickets I was not aware. If I took a picture with Rosaline, maybe a
group picture. If she has the picture let her bring it out. I never took
a picture with Rosaline apart from group pictures. Tonto is just trying
to bring out evidence that can nail me down. My wife cannot tell me she
doesn't know Rosaline, she's major in anything that has to do with
young ones and children, mother and child in my office. My wife actually
knows all my workers, so I don't know where that's coming from. My wife
is trying to show the world a negative side of me, and I’m not like
that. I'm not a woman beater and I never had any issue with my wife
about any woman. I heard when she said she pulled me up from a woman.
It's not possible, Tonto Dikeh, pull me up from a woman, where? Is it in
my matrimonial home or where? We never had major problems, no cheating,
no threats, but just a little domestic issue and she switches. She's
destroyed properties worth 66 million in less than seven months.
Has there been a scenario where she fought your mum or has she been abusive to her verbally?
Yes
to verbally but she has not fought my mum. The event took place at my
mum's house, I said it earlier. I told you earlier that Tonto is
temperamental and she fights like six in one, she destroys everything.
You cannot hold her talkless of beating her. She was dealing with me, I
can't say she was beating me. What she does is jack your cloth and makes
sure she destroys it. What happened was, my mum intruded as she was
holding me and she elbowed my mum and my mum fell down. So at that
point, I thought that was extreme, I didn't beat her, I just packed one
or two things and went to Ghana. Tonto has an event, a road construction
thing in Abuja which was just two days after the incident. Even in the
scene, she bit my younger brother in two places for no reason as he was
holding her and telling her to stop.
Tonto
said you never told her about your first marriage and that you have
kids outside wedlock; 9 months and 2 years old children.
She
said they called her, I watched the interview, and it’s not true. Tonto
likes social media and I don't like social media. She was all about Mr X
and so on, so someone attacked her page, that was when I first met
Tonto. The person called her a husband snatcher and warned her to leave
her husband alone. My wedding pictures went viral so how come she
doesn't know I was married before. It was like 7 months after that I
went to Port Harcourt to pay dowry. It was on the newspaper and
everywhere that Tonto's Mr X is married, so how come she didn't know.
The two year and nine months old boy or girl l have, should come out.
I'm well educated and that's why I wanted a family, I don't do two
women. Why are these women calling Tonto and not my mother?
Tonto
said the GMC car you claimed to have bought for King as his birthday
gift is an internet photo and also that all the gifts she put on
instagram were actually bought by her and not you.
No,
that's not true, I love to buy gifts for my wife always. I'm a busy
man, I'm too occupied, to the point that I break down attimes so I buy
these gifts to compensate her. I have the receipts, even the Rolex she
was putting on in her interview, I bought it. I bought the GMC for my
son, like I said, I wanted it to be like a surprise, but unfortunately I
didn't have access to him. I have all the receipts, and the GMC is
real, I bought it for King but was unable to see him and present it. I
know some day we will all be together again. I was not at home when
Tonto packed her things but I had a discussion with her about going to
rehab because of what had been happening so far after she gave birth to
King. I think that may be the reason why she left the house.
Are you open to reconciliation?
Actually
I've tried up to nine times, the last time was when I invited her dad
and the high chiefs. Each time we try to reconcile, she blocks me the
next day. She pretends like she cool but at the end she's not, but I
still have her pictures on my instagram but I don't think she's ready.
The car she said she sold, the Prado, I still have the original
documents so I don't know how she sold the car and in the system it's
not showing that the car is sold or that the car is missing. The car is
still registered under Big Churchill HAVEN LTD. It is very painful that
people would make up their minds after listening to one side of the
story. All I did was love and honour my wife, and it hurts when i see
the lies and deceit all over social media.
Thanks
to MRH for coming through, Olakunle Churchill as you all know is a
philanthropist, and is against domestic violence. I have never raised my
hand on any woman and I will never. My wife was pregnant and she gave
birth to King and there was nowhere she was pregnant for four months and
lost it. It never happened, I'm here to clear my name and that of my
company and brand. Thanks for coming through.
Sorry, my last question, when you met Tonto, did you see or not see signs that Tonto might be temperamental?
Well,
everybody said I saw this coming, that it was inevitable with my choice
of wife. Facts and events were put before me; drugs and alcohol abuse,
her philandering ways, and even talks of psychotic tendencies. Everyone
has a past, even i inclusive, so I chose not to be judgmental. I turned a
blind eye and deaf ears to the stern warnings, anonymous calls, and
text messages that barraged me in the events leading up to the wedding.
Even when I witnessed firsthand how temperamental and destructive she
could get at the slightest provocation, I still saw good in her, and
felt she was misjudged by many. I believed she would not only make me an
awesome wife, but a wonderful mother to our children. If you call this
love, you just might be right.
