Popular Blogger, activist and social media personality, Kemi Olunloyo, has waded into the recent feud between Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh and her ex-husband, Olankunle Churchill.
Kemi took to social media to give some clarifications about Churchill’s background and accused Tonto Dikeh of misrepresenting details about his family.
The self-acclaimed journalist poked holes in the controversial thespian’s claim that her former husband’s father was a gardener at the residence of the former president, Olusegun Obasanjo.
According to her, Churchill’s father, a clergyman, died 27 years ago and he was a man of means while alive.
She wrote: “Late Primate (Arch Bishop) Gabriel OLADUNNI died 27 years ago. He was born in 1938 and was well to do and rich when he was alive. Kings and leaders in Nigeria followed him. He was recognized by late Queen Elizabeth and many world leaders. Tonto Dikeh said he was a GARDENER at Obasanjo’s house,”

Olunloyo further said Tonto’s ex-husband was trained by Obasanjo and refuted claims by the actress that he is a ‘yahoo boy’.
“Baba OBJ trained Dr. Olakunle Churchill and he attended military schools from Nigerian navy Abeokuta to NDA but didn’t finish before he went for engineering and software tech work and was trained by Indians. Tonto called him a Yahoo boy, Ritualist and unemployed. He owns the @churchill_foundation which gives scholarships to young people and also performs many other initiatives including a youth football club partnership,” she added.
The Blogger, in a bid to buttress her assertions, accompanied her post with pictures of Churchill’s father and other family members.
However, after her post made the rounds on social media, Nigerians trooped to the comment section to air their views, with most of the netizens who spoke accusing Kemi Olunloyo of bias against Tonto Dike.
