Yesterday was fathers day, a day to celebrate the amazing and potential fathers in the world. We saw pictures and videos of various fathers of celebrities all over social media with beautiful and heartfelt captions
Joining the rest of the world to celebrate Fathers Day today was none other but Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, she penned a touching note to herself as she reveals she is posing as a father and mother figure for her son.
The actress whose marriage to Churchill Olakunle turned sour a few months after the birth of their son, Andre King. She took to her Instagram page to hail herself for doing a great job playing both father and mother to her son.
Sharing a lovely video of herself and her son, she wrote.
“Dear Self, Happy Father's Day my dearest friend.
You have and will do well, Remember IT TAKES A STRONG PERSON TO BE A SINGLE PARENT AND TAKE ON TWO ROLES. Which you My dear friend have Done GREAT AT, BEING YOU (MAMADE’PAPA) IS TWICE THE WORK,
TWICE THE TEARS,
TWICE THE STRESS, BUT IMPORTANTLY
TWICE THE HUGS, TWICE THE LOVE, AND TWICE THE PRIDE…Any woman can be a mom but it takes a truly formidable, strong, and sassy woman to become the father of kids as well. I am glad am that woman!!
HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL THE AMAZING PAPA’s And THE SINGLE MOM’S WHO REPRESENT THE FATHER FIGURE IN YOUR HEIRS LIFES...
Keep keeping ON.. May the Blessings of today be UPON..”
However reacting to this, her reactions triggered a whole of backlash fromsome fans who felt Tonto Dikeh was wrong for behaving as if she gave birth to the child alone. According to them, no matter what happened between him and her ex husband the ex husnad is still the father of the child and she has no right to behave as if the son is of no father
Some even quizzed her if she gave birth to the child alone without the help of her ex–husband.
