Pastor Chris & Rev Anita Oyakhilome’s Marriage Crashed Over Prolonged Separation – Ex-Schoolmate Speaks
Sept 5, 2014 – Pastor Chris & Rev Anita Oyakhilome’s Marriage Crashed Over Prolonged Separation – Ex-Schoolmate Speaks
- Rev Anita Divorced Pastor Oyakhilome Because She Was Denied Her Right As A Wife
- She Wanted To Be A Wife, But She Got Frustrated With Lengthy Separation
- Rev Anita Is Not An Angry Woman
A former school mate of Anita has spoken on the ongoing divorce scandal rocking Christ Embassy Church.
Hear what the source said:
Unfortunately people are blind to the truth. This marriage shown the crack signs years ago. I remember mentioning to my friends way back in 1996 or 1997 that this marriage is sitting on a thin sting that would soon snap, thereafter Pastor Anita was transferred out of Head office first to Satellite town and then to London.
If you stay that long away from your husband then technically the marriage is over. I am not in support of divorce but i think Sis. Anita just got fed up of playing the role. She wants her life back.
Let us face it, Pastor Chris and all should be true to themselves, these two haven’t had a marriage since the late 1990’s.
I was in University with Anita in the late 1980’s to early 1990’s and she has always been a Christian. Despite being raised in an orthodox church. And i do not think Pastor Chris would have married an angry woman – I never saw her angry once in the 3 years in university and my room was next to her and I saw her almost everyday.
Please, let this woman be. She just got fed up with playing the role of a wife without being a wife.
SHE WANTS TO BE A WIFE PERIOD!!!!
If this is the case, then the solution to this marital problem is simple. Let them deal with the distance, come back together as husband and wife and frustrate the devil out of their marriage. I think they know better. May God help them.

Ori ipe ore mi. Whoever wrote this is a sensible person
A woman like Anita can never just wake up one day and say she will divorce this man.
It is as a result of accumulated frustration, loneliness and the like. Her husband must have distanced himself from her for some unknown reasons.

Even if anytin was wrong wit d marriage, we as third parties should never join a woman to fight her own husband;afterall, marriage is for better for worse.Personally, I can only recommend separation in marriage if it has gotten to d level of physical abuse but I don’t think Pastor Chris did that.
If u have issues with ur marriage that is not life threatening, what is d role of prayers?But I think people sing why worry when u can pray!There is no single couple on earth that has never experienced marital turbulence before but many keep theirs.Why expose ur own husband or at least ur daughters father?

Hummmm!!!! Good comments Ayeni and Olori Bose but God sees everything and knows everything. I think they should come together and live as husband and wife then they will know individual fault. Money is not everything but happiness. I wish them breakthrough.

I am 100% disagree with you Ayeni. Psychological abuse is worst than physical abuse. I dont believe that this woman find pleasure in leaving a marriage of over 2 decades. God knows that I dont like a divorce, but peace of mind is very important. It is only two of them that knows the truth behind their separation. I do not support her, neither do I support the husband.

Eya a,the woman is over starved of se**.But how can a man,leave his wife in london and came and stay in south africa for very longtym? I guess some fowl play in the side of pastor chris,or maybe pastor chris is tired of european women and now he has come back to his senses,theyby recognising that our native women is now good for him. But don’t worry, we have intelligent women that’ll give you what you want in all ramifications both in your ministerial work.

Everyone knows, one of the ethics of marriage is- ”living together”, which is very necessary and infact a must. She cannot be blamed for her actions, she’s a woman with feelings.

I respect the opinion of our commentators so far but my humble take once again is that issues about marriage is delicate and sacred.Whatever happen to for better or for worse and about being naked and not ashamed.Even if it comes down to her claims dt her husband is involved in adultery, is publicising it d solution to d problem?There are men of God who had fallen into dis sin in d past nd present nd yet their spouse covered them up.
Am not takin sides wit anyone but I kno dt a woman has subtle ways of keeping her home nd man nd God can answer prayers offered by His own.Let’s come to think of it, in d end, when there is solution to d problem, she would regret ever exposin her head or at least her daughters dad.In d end, there is no family without challenges nd I pray they come out of it.
To answer some, am married, and I have tasted my bit of marital challenge nd am nt a fan of Pastor Chris.

may God sees them through
I think the church should look into. this too
This issue of seperating husband and wife in the name of pastors working in the vineyard. A husband who is pastor will be at a distance branch while bthe wife who is equally a pastor will be elsewhere! how can these people. cop?
this can easily open doors to temptation

You don’t have a marriage if you live apart from your husband for over 15 years- no marriage relationship etc. Pastor Chris in deed divorced Rev. Anita the day he transferred her to London in the 90’s. All she did was make it formal in 2014 because there is no use pretending. The truth was bound to be exposed. She filed in UK quietly. The press now publicized it. It is her life. she knows what she can bear. Just because she is a Pastor does not mean she is no longer human. Pastor Chris is human too- and he had his reasons why he is no longer interested in his wife. If that is the case, let her go peacefully & don’t diss the mother of your children.

I used to attend Christ Embassy, I respect these couple a lot. I always see love n admiration in Rev Anita for her Husband. I have never for once hear Pastor Chris acknowledge his wife. I think no matter how dirty this may look, it’s better to read Rev Anita file for Divorece rather than Rev Anita caught cheating, then it will be too late to hear her out. There is no marriage in Heaven, if you choose to marry regardless of your calling, make it work. As a man of God, your marriage is also an example for your followers. May God grant Pastor Anita strenght in all. Pastor Chris still have his royal devotee, but this woman has been cut off.
