Anita Oyakhilome: The Swiss-Nigerian Woman Who Broke Pastor Chris’s Heart
September 1st, 2014 – Pastor Anita Oyakhilome Not White: She’s Mixed & Was Born To Swiss Mother & Nigerian Father From Uromi, Edo State
Anita Oyakhilome: The Swiss-Nigerian Woman Who Broke Pastor Chris’s Heart
Since her divorce news broke last week, many Nigerians have blamed Pastor Chris Oyakhilome for marrying a white woman when there are suitable Nigerian women out there ready for marriage.
To cool down the ongoing rumour about Anita’s race, she is a Swiss-Nigerian who doesn’t joke with her look.
Her mother is a Swiss while her father is a Nigerian from Uromi town in Edo state.
Anita and Chris Oyakhilome are both from Edo state so they both share a common origin.
She is the 1st daughter of a family of five. Her dad is a wealthy man, the former MD of Nigerian Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC), John Ebhodaghe (OFR).
Anita Oyakhilome graduated from Ambrose Alli University in Ekpoma with a degree in English.
She has written so many spiritual and self-help books such as Confession for Living, Handbook for Successful Living, Unending Springs of Joy and many others.
Anita married Pastor Chris over 23 years ago in Lagos state Nigeria and the couple has 2 lovely daughters, Charlyn and Sharon.
Before quitting her marriage to Pastor Chris, she was the Director of Christ Embassy’s International Office and the overseer of the United Kingdom region and beyond.
Anita is one of the co-founder of Believer World Love campus ministry now Christ Embassy.
As we speak, the church has removed all her information and pictures from the church’s website.
Many church members believed the devil used Anita to break Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s heart but they are so sure their Pastor will get back up again.

You are silly Chisom for making this remark! Pastor Chris Oyakhilome neglected his marital duties and must face the consequences. He is a man filled with much self-ego and too proud to stoop and accept he has wronged himself and the wife for neglecting his duties as a husband. Charity must begin at home!

thanks .. you said it, you nailed it…..in fact he was threatened by a mistress of his to leave his wife, if not she will tell the world exactly what goes on in his church, as i am speaking she lives with him, even before the separation and divorce of his marriage to Anita… look at Chris okotie too, and they call themselves men of GOD, pastors my ass

To an average Nigeria, Rev Anita is a typical white womaan. Her attitude is not of a typical Nigerian pastor wife.
May be her Swiss mother is controlling her

For your information, many Nigerian women do worse. Pastor Anita left because her husband neglected her for over 17 years forcing her to live in UK alone while he has unmarried female Pastors living in his compound that travel with him everywhere. What about the Nigerian women that stabbed their husbands to death abroad ?? Pastor Anita grew up in Nigeria & schooled in Nigeria. Please do not insult her late mother. Both of her parents are late. Her mum died many years ago while Pastor Anita & Pastor Chris were still married & living together in Nigeria long before Pastor insisted his wife stay apart from him.It is ungracious of you to conclude things you know absolutely nothing about.

It is not her fault I blame d pastor for marrying a mammy water as wife.
It is a criminal offence for a servant of God to marry beatuiful women like dis.
Don’t they know it is a distraction to their ministry. I hope you have learnt your lesson Chris the superstar

I have watched pastor Chris programs many many many he is only pastor I trusted for years even Doo I never been in his church but defended his church in many ways. But I was disappointed when I saw that he married a white woman I already know them I live in abroad for 36 years when the time to get married I went to my village and marry.he did not give his followers good examples on that note if you have children with with woman yu are already been 419ed yu pretending yu have kids but there mom in charge.

Why blame this lady. The wife of his youth. They might have obviously been childhood sweethearts at one point. Do not judge as there are always 2 sides to a story. Pastor Chris should confess hus wrong doings.

This is why Africans are behind if you don’t know the reason for why she walked away just shhhh Nigerians ain’t that perfect they are humans too so many people have married outside and are happy it’s who God gives you just say maybe they didn’t ask God for his will before they married which is the problem whit hall races God loves all he’s not a God of only black people so would you classify someone from Egypt White they are African to ignorance is a disease no one knows what happened in there home instead of praying your here pushing blames it’s stupid. Instead of praying for divorce rates in the house of God you here playing God . Be careful how you talk of others marriage problems eSpecially those who are not married

If there is no forgiveness there will be divorce.Jesus did not encourage divorce. what make you a new testament child of God is because we abduct the nature of forgiveness from Jesus Christ the son of God. we have all divorce GOD in one way or the other but because of Christ our advocate, God still forgive us and bring us back to Himself. lest pray for them and shame the devil because he came to kill to steal and to destroy, but Jesus came to give life more abundantly. with our Prayer, life will come into that marriage no matter the level of damage it has suffer. no man is perfect, but GOD ALONE.

I think the comments on here just show why I am not religious. First of all, having a Swiss mother and a Nigerian father makes you MIXED RACE, NOT WHITE. Second of all, I believe that if a marriage sadly is not working, then it should be ended, rather than causing pain and suffering for both parties. Anita did nothing wrong.

i believe dat pst Anita has endured a lot in dat marriage.I THINK that we should face d truth here.But she wouldnt hv taken divorce as an option bcos they always teach us dat is for better nd for worst.
on d other hand pst Chris as a man of God shld hv accepted his mistakes maybe by now d story wld hv been positive nd not divorce.instead he defends himself dat is not Godly

The hardest thing in life is decision making, you eit Melaher make it right or wrong. Pst. Chris and his wife have made theirs, lets keep praying for them if their decision is wrong and will cause destruction of souls, let God avert that. Remember, even Jesus was tempted talk more of pst Chris and his wife. Don’t be too quick in paasing judgment over this matter instead lets pray for divine solution from above because the devil is now happy and mocking the church of God not only pst, Chris and his wife.

Truely the fact is in the hands of Yehwe, we are mere mortals away from full knowledge abt this issue. As long as we are still in our human nature we are subject to temptations and trial, then wewe have to be out guard not be overcome for our Lord Christ is there as our high priest to make overcome such chaoses. It’s not our duty to judge, it’s God’s.

Okyakilome, should relinquish his position as a pastor, if he is unable to keep his family together. W hat morality does he preach. To me, he is a devil in pretends
