A few weeks ago, a Facebook account
called 'Where is Rev Anita Oyakhilome?' was created by an anonymous member of
Christ Embassy International where they insinuated that all was not well in the
holy matrimony of Pastor Oyakhilome and his wife of many years, Rev.
Anita.
In the Facebook page, Pastor
Oyakhilome was quoted as saying that there were problems in his marriage
because of his wife's attitude. Speaking with his UK-based pastors and deacons
at the church Bermondsey branch office on May 16th, pastor Oyakhilome allegedly
said;
"I am here for your concerns
about the ongoing domestic issue with my wife and I know it affects you
directly, being the ones under her leadership.
“Some pastors’ wives think
when they marry a pastor, they are equal to the pastor. My wife thinks so. As a
matter of fact, Rev. Tom was her pastor before I married her and Rev. Ray and
Evang. Owase were her leaders long before I married her. How come she thinks
she’s senior to them now? I already started Christ Embassy before I
married her. I didn’t marry her and said we should start Christ Embassy. I was
already ‘pastoring.’ I already set my sail and knew my direction before I
married her. I only said ‘come and help me.’ Continue...
“Be careful of the friends you keep.
My wife keeps friends who bring out the worst in her and help her see the worst
in people, instead of keeping friends that will help her vision, especially as
the wife of a global pastor like me.”
"Bitterness is prolonged and
accumulated anger. My wife is always angry and bitter,” he was quoted as
saying.
Reacting to this quotes and reports,
someone from the Church who spoke with a Punch reporter said "There are
issues, yes, but the Facebook post is an absolute fallacy."
Another church member who identified
herself as Pastor Mercy, said the report was false. "It is not true; it is
a rumour. All these things are make-up stories.”
