Nigerian entrepreneur and philanthropist Olakunle Churchill has once again become the talk of the town, this time drawing widespread attention with his latest luxury purchase. The businessman, famously known as the ex-husband of actress Tonto Dikeh, recently took to Instagram to showcase a brand new Hermès bag and matching shoes, an acquisition valued at millions of naira.
Social Media Showcase Goes Viral
In a post that quickly went viral, Churchill shared videos and photographs of himself adorned with the high-end accessories. He captioned the post, indicating he wore them for a quick meeting. This seemingly simple display of opulence did not go unnoticed, triggering a flood of reactions from fans and a slew of Nigerian celebrities who flooded the comments section with a mix of admiration, surprise, and playful envy.
The online spectacle has further cemented Churchill's position as a figure whose personal style and expenditures consistently spark conversations. The post was made on December 6, 2025, and continues to generate engagement, highlighting his significant influence on social media.
Celebrities and Netizens Weigh In
The comment section turned into a mini-reunion of sorts for Nigerian celebrities. Notable personalities like Cubana Chiefpriest commented with "E Dollar Dey your hand," acknowledging Churchill's spending power. Actress Eniola Badmus inquired, "Baba where you dey go? Edira of London…..London Bulley," while others like specialspesh humorously referred to him as "Inspector Gadget."
However, not all feedback was celebratory. Some users found the display excessive. User coolrollziggy simply stated "Childish," and sandyvictorosazee questioned, "What is the meaning of all this??" Another comment by iyanuoluwa_adebola drew a comparison, noting, "No be the type of bag chioma gift Davido as birthday gift be this."
Amidst the varied reactions, one follower, hope_nnamso, offered a compliment that seemed to resonate, describing Churchill's look as "very demure very mindful."
Context and Past Controversies
This event is not Churchill's first time trending for his lifestyle choices. The news comes on the heels of previous reports that drew public scrutiny. In August 2025, footage from his 2015 traditional wedding to Tonto Dikeh resurfaced online, showing a seemingly reluctant Churchill during the ceremonies, which sparked debates about their past relationship.
Furthermore, earlier in 2025, Churchill faced backlash after posting videos of a family vacation to Disneyland with his second wife, Rosaline Meurer, and their children. The display of a long shopping receipt from the trip was particularly criticized by some netizens as being in poor taste for a philanthropist of his stature.
Despite these controversies, Churchill has also shown a united front with his ex-wife in co-parenting. On February 17, 2025, both Tonto Dikeh and Olakunle Churchill celebrated their son, King Andre Dikeh, on his ninth birthday, posting heartfelt messages and photos on their respective Instagram pages.
Olakunle Churchill's ability to consistently capture public attention, whether through family moments, philanthropic work, or luxury acquisitions, keeps him firmly in the spotlight of Nigeria's entertainment and business circles.
