they can't work. This story is about them obviously. How u go abandon ur wife for another country while you dey another country and call it a marriage. It is called union not reunion(anytime they see). Keep ur wife by ur side and send others to wat ever country u want to send em to. After all d church belongs to God not you.

God bless you.
I never understood what kind of marriage a man runs with his wife abroad as a pastor. When he has his brothers in the ministry, that they can handle the UK church. Big mistake. After God, come your spouse and then church. How does he want to counsel couples with marital challenge now?

If she had a bad attitude according to some people here then why the court injunction on her to not say anything or grant any interview on the matter? Why didn't they explain to thier guilible church members what happened? Why the issue of "the matter is to high for you" whenever good questions were raised concerning the matter? Because they know people will run. That woman went through HELL!!! She is about the strongest woman that ever lived. Go and find out!

You are very ignorant. The woman stayed in London. She had no connection with those people you accuse her of wanting to upsurp. They just lied to keep saving their faces. Other younger women in the church are now higher than the so-called guys that they accused the woman of upsurping.

Most men are good husbands but the attitudes of these wivies drive them towards a direction that they will start to find happiness elsewhere.

Well, I chose not to judge Pastor Chris because I respect him so much. I am too small to talk about it. There is something I don't like about women, many of them. They are selfish. A woman wants ALL her husband's time to her self alone, was she not aware he's a pastor b4 she married him? why disturbing him about spending much time together? I advise women to pls face their destiny n let the man face his. Everything is agreement. Many of u wants to plant a CCTV on their husband to know all details about him. just because she's selfish n insecure or probably listening to rumours about him. I know women likes to be touched constantly, but pls give your man his space to do what God said he should do. God bless you

You sound very naive.

If pastor Chris knew he'd be that busy for God, why did he marry in the first place?

The worst thing that can happen to any one is to be in an enduring marriage, unfortunately some religious cabals will encourage their members to rather die in there than divorce.

The media (including social media) has destroyed many marriages. People now assume that divorce is the answer to everything. They would divorce at the drop of a hat, remarry and then divorce again. Think about it, the divorce rate for second marriages is higher than the divorce rate for first marriages.

Just my personal take: I think having come such a long way together and it seems there were no reported issues of physical abuse or infidelity, she should just have endured until he became old and tired as will inevitably happen and then she will have him all to herself! A lot of 'enjoyable' things don't matter any more after a certain age and couples just grow old together peacefully.

I am a man but this opinion of yours is rather kind of selfish. What is the essence of a marriage when couples cannot enjoy their youthfulness together? And relive these moments in their old age? Why do they have to wait till their old age before enjoying each other? This does not make sense. The marriage could as well have waited till their old age then.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s ex-wife, Anita in a new blog post wrote about a couple who happy on the outside but are facing the reality of a dead marriage. According to Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s ex-wife, a spouse who is at the center of a 'dead marriage', sometimes end up spending many years of endless hope in anticipation for a change, enduring a relationship that is bereft of life. Her blog post has been linked to what allegedly happened in her marriage. 

Read what she wrote below;

Happy Anniversary to the best couple in the world

Wife : Hello

Husband: How are you?
Wife: I amgood. How is your day?
Husband : Good
Wife : Today is our anniversary. Happy Anniversary.
Husband : Happy anniversary.
Wife : I noticed many greetings on social media wishing us a happy anniversary. I find it confusing to read comments from your close friends saying “ best couple in the world”; it sounds like a complete joke, when they know we rarely see each other. We see each other at most ten days in a year; I can’t understand their reason for making this comment, such flattery. It is confusing to me.

Husband : Well, at least they sent their greetings.
Wife : Their greetings are on social media, no contact by text or by email.
Husband : Silence
Wife : Hello
Husband : Yes

Wife : I sometimes wonder if we are married. There is nothing more to this relationship to indicate we are married apart from a ring on my finger; the ring is another story and our pictures are interjected because we are rarely together to take a proper picture. I feel sad that we are not together.

Husband : Look, I have told you over and over again that we cannot live in the same country because we are very busy and one country is too small for both of us. I expect you should be able to figure that out.
Wife : One country is too small for us?

Husband : Yes and you keep coming back to ask the same question.
Wife : Okay. Since you don’t often call either, please call the children, at least once a month. They go on for months without speaking with you. I noticed they don’t seem to care anymore.

Husband : Okay
Wife : That is about all.
Husband : Silence (breathing sound)
Wife : Have a beautiful day.
Husband : Silence (breathing sound)
Wife : Bye
Husband : Silence (breathing sound)
Wife : Hello
Husband : Silence (Goes off the Phone)

Wife : Okay

Facing the reality of a dead marriage, where a spouse spends many years of endless hope in anticipation for a change, enduring a relationship that is bereft of life. Believe it or not, this was somebody’s experience and is another person’s state of affair.
There is so much in life to be enjoyed.

Some folks are very stupid and throughly brainwashed.

Only a brainwashed person will say this.

Pastor Chris was the architect of the divorce. Why don't church members ask their so called spiritual gather how come he prefers living apart from his wife and children. What normal man prefers that? But Pastor Chris wants it like that.

according to her, she just wants to be with her man but then I remembered reading a post claiming she declined residing in nigeria or where her husband is... I can’t remeber. So if you want to be seeing your man often, why don’t you agree to live where he is given that you know the nature of his job. Other than infedility, I don’t see reasons why they can’t work things out given the number of years spent together.

That is a lie. The woman was ready to live together as family with Pastor Chris. Pastor Chris was the one always insisting they must live apart. Please stop spreading lies. This insistence of them leaving apart is why she filed for divorce.

That should have been enough for any man who cares for his wife to change his hard stance.

It's nowhere on record that Pastor Chris told his wife to leave London and start living with him.

Question should be why should a wife head the UK church and husband head Nigerian church? What time do they have in a year to spend as hubby and wife. Only during leadership conferences held in Nigeria. How does a marriage survive in this condition. Couples are bound to drift apart na.

The answer is: it's was like that became Pastor Chris insisted on it. And the woman got tired.

Whose at fault only God knows..

The man doesn't want a divorce and is. Moving on with the work of God.

The woman has moved on, and keeps referring to her past.

She's bent on using this stain on pastor chris every opportunity she gets

There's nothing major In life apart from God..we all know what it means when people try to show how happy and how much their enjoying on social media..it always means their misrable in reality..that says a lot about this lady anyways may God heal them.

Bit most importantly she should be mature enough to know she's fighting the church (God) with this her actions...some one mentioned about her attitude, the above says a lot

You should not be quick to judge her. I don't think it was easy for her to ask for a divorce. She didn't want to stay in an uncommitted relationship with her husband even though clearly she loves him. Loneliness in a relationship is one of the worst things you can go through and it's better to be single than to be in that kind of relationship. Believe me I've been there She probably asked for a divorce hoping it would make him come to his senses and realised he was neglecting her but the man was already far gone. She had to see it to the end because his non protest of the divorce showed he didn't care anymore. His thirst for power and influence was more important than his marriage.

Casting aspersions on the poor woman already. Is this how you blame 'your wife' everytime you fail to measure up?

Chris and Anita's case is what most pastors would preach against during minsterial/leadership trainings. 'A pastor who succeeds in his ministry but fails to hold his family together has failed in all'. He neglected the poor woman in the name of God's work and ended up turning the church against her after the divorce for 'being carnal' just because she raised concerns about her physical needs and how her husband has denied her.

And there is the case of Adultery - Anita accused Pastor Chris of having an extra marital affair with his secretary whom he spends time with the most. She blew hot and claimed she had proofs before reports of Church elders visited her to 'hear her side of the story' and everything died down.

I have always been a fan of Pastor Chris. As a matter of fact, I believe he is the best teacher of the Word ever to come out of Nigeria. But he failed. Couples have needs, mostly physical obligations to themselves. If he could believe the wife was 'carnal' for voicing her mind then I strongly pity every young, single believer who take counseling from a Church as Christ Embassy. Pastor Chris failed.



God bless you. I know one of the top bishops in this country that tried reconciling them together and reports he came. Back with. You're on spot 100%.i won't say more. Every word you spoke is the pure truth. Emotional blackmail

To be candid both of them have failed and they have no excuse for it.

Stephen Weinberg the Nobel Prize wining Theoretical Physicst said: ''without religion, you will have good people doing good things and bad people doing bad things; but for good people to do bad things, that takes religion''. and to think that these are the first pentecostals to start preaching that christianity is not a religion, makes the biggest mockery of them!

how can someone in his right senses say that the lady should have endured till the end even after 16 years, is what i cannot understand.
