The Nigerian celebrity businessman, Olakunle Churchill, has shared a cryptic message on social media days after both his wife, Rosy Meurer, and his ex-wife, Tonto Dikeh, failed to publicly acknowledge him during this year’s Father’s Day celebrations.
Father’s Day, observed every third Sunday in June to honour fathers and their contributions to society, was celebrated on June 21, 2026. As many Nigerians, including celebrities, took to social media to celebrate their fathers and husbands, Churchill appeared to have been overlooked by both women closely linked to him.
The development quickly sparked conversations online, particularly as Churchill had recently reconciled with actress Tonto Dikeh, with whom he shares a son, while persistent rumours of a marital crisis continue to trail his relationship with Rosy Meurer.
Despite the apparent snub, Churchill marked the occasion by celebrating himself. Sharing a photograph of himself on social media, he offered prayers for all of his children.
Days later, the businessman appeared to address the growing speculation in a cryptic post shared on his Instagram page on Tuesday.
“Smart people know when to play dumb. I know who is fake, I just enjoy watching their performance,” Churchill wrote.
His post has since fuelled further reactions from social media users, many interpreting it as a subtle response to the silence from both Rosy Meurer and Tonto Dikeh on Father’s Day.
The latest episode comes months after Churchill himself appeared to sideline both women during the 2026 Mother’s Day celebration.
During Mother’s Day in March, the businessman did not publicly celebrate either Rosy Meurer or Tonto Dikeh, choosing instead to dedicate his tribute solely to his mother.
That decision had also generated mixed reactions online, with some observers suggesting it reflected underlying tensions within his personal relationships.
While neither Rosy Meurer nor Tonto Dikeh has publicly commented on their decision not to celebrate Churchill on Father’s Day, the businessman’s latest post has added another layer to the ongoing speculation surrounding his family dynamics.
