However, the actress has now revealed that she has forgiven her ex-husband because of their four-year-old son, King Andre.
She made this known while speaking in an interview with journalist, Dele Momodu on Sunday about the importance of forgiveness.
In an Instagram session with Momodu, Dikeh stated that she has come to realise that forgiveness is not about the next person but one’s self.
According to her, she read the part of the bible where God said he would not forgive us if we do not forgive others.
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, and 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 position of stagnation when it comes to love, i do not want to put myself in a place of worship, progressing, my career.
The mother of one added;
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 explained it. I think forgiveness is essential for one’s growth.
Asked if she has forgiven her son’s father, Tonto responded that she has and wishes him the best henceforth, stressing;
Oh yes, especially him. I forgive him and wish him the best, for my son’s sake. I do. Why not?
She added that presently there is nobody she holds a grudge on but stressed that “there are people who she has forgiven but would never have a relationship with again.”
