At the same time, a number of fathers themselves are celebrating themselves, sharing heartwarming pictures and videos to commemorate the event.
Well, Tonto Dikeh has taken to social media on this day to wish herself a happy father’s day and write a small note to her son with her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill.
Tonto Dikeh’s son, King Andre has been living with her ever since the actress and her son’s father went their separate ways over a number of issues.
Tonto has always been open about their issues, levelling a number of allegations against her ex-husband, allegations that he has continued to deny.
She took to Instagram to share a Father’s Day message to her son, writing:
“Happy Fathers Day TO ME BECAUSE I’VE DONE IT ALL BY MYSELF AND ACED IT ANYWAYS.. Actions prove who someone is.. Words just prove who they want to be…DEAREST SON @kingandre_dikeh, BEING YOUR DAD HAS BEEN A GREAT HONOR..
THANKS FOR MAKING ME MR MOM
I LOVE YOU KIDDO”
The sweet message was not well received by her ex who also took to his Instagram page to share a response to the post. He prayed for all father’s in the world and said that their children would not be used as a tool of jealousy. Hmm.
He wrote:
“Happy Fathers’ Day to all the fathers in the world. A father is a father irrespective of marital challenges. A father is not only by way of giving birth to a child; but by way of taking care of children around you, and children around the world who are in need.
“I pray for all the fathers in the world that your child/children will not be used as a tool of jealousy, because of broken relationships like it’s done in the old Era.
As I celebrate this day, I pray this won’t be the era when single parenting ends up affecting a child/ children’s mentality thereby confusing them.
“This is a new Era and things have changed. Relax, you’ll reconnect with your child at the right time.
You Are A father!
We Are Fathers!! I Am A Father!!! Happy Father’s Day To You!”
