Few weeks after their marriage got annulled, Tonto Dikeh’s ex-husband, Churchill Oladunni has finally opened up about the fraud allegations laid against him by his ex-wife and how he funds his foundation in an exclusive interview with Celeb Police.
When asked about the fraud allegations laid against him, he said, ”Well, I can understand if some persons can’t believe that the work God is doing through us is even possible but it’s just the answer to my prayer.
I have always prayed to God to give me that miracle that would sound like a lie, so if people find it hard to believe that we are legit and working independently then that means God is doing more enormous things through us than we even realize. However, we are REAL and LEGITIMATE and everyone should join the movement and become generous givers as much as they can.”

On how he gets funding for his charity organization after his ex-wife confidently claimed he was a ‘yahoo-boy’ in one of her posts, Churchill said, ”Fortunately, we run a group of companies that have 6 subsidiaries so we have a fixed habit of taking 10 percent from each and every one of the subsidiaries to put into charity. Therefore, one-tenth of the revenues from the Real Estate, ICT, Agriculture, Consultancy and entertainment goes into charity on a monthly basis and that is the major funding for the foundation.”
Churchill further debunked the claims that he has never been to Malaysia. According to him, there’s no reason for him to be there.

On what drives him to continue to be a philanthropist, he said, ”There’s a whole lot to say about philanthropy because for me it has been a lifestyle and not a business, a job or something you do because you are told to.
It is absolutely a selfless service to humanity, you get to always put others first, feel their pain and help them grow in their various fields. It has a lot to do with building others, raising them as much as you can, making them happy and overall making their lives brighter and better than you met them. I always tell people ‘Never let a day pass without you helping at least one person.’
It doesn’t have to be through material things alone (though important) but other resources and emotional support could also go a long way because what some people get depressed for to the point of almost taking their own lives, could have felt better with just a little more love, care, smile, words of encouragement and emotional support from another person.”

Finally, speaking on what motivates him to keep giving, he said, ”God himself has been my utmost motivation. God made me understand the kingdom principles of giving at a very early stage of my life and that has kept me in check. God is the ultimate father of wealth so if you can get it from God, nothing stops you from first giving back to him the 10 percent he requires from us (and even more depending on how you are inspired).
And since I believe that going the EXTRA mile brings about EXTRA results, I would say nothing also stops you from setting aside yet another 10percent to make humanity happy. From my life experiences I can boldly say that when you give bountifully, it equals insuring your life in God, and the moment your life is insured by the almighty there’s nothing that can work against your progress in life.
I’ve lost count of God’s blessings over my life that I received through charity and I can neither thank him enough nor stop doing the things he has blessed me through.” He added that it is more blessed to give than to receive.
