High profile divorces can be messy and if you give the media what they want, they will help you make a good show of it.
We have all been following keenly the reports about this high Christian divorce. Many people have blamed it harshly on Pastor Anita Oyakyilome. But members of the church have started speaking up on her behalf. Making Pastor Anita seem like the long suffering wife who just wants peace now.
It seems all has not been well in their home for a long time. I wonder what more information we will get as this divorce progresses with the Reverend Pastor himself behind defended by many as his wife gains witnesses and supporters too. I hope the divorce of man and wife does not divide the church too.
Read what one of the founding members had to say about her almost perfect lifestyle.

“I am writing this to everyone with a heavy heart. It is heart wrenching to see the way people are referring to Rev Anita and how uncultured people are while talking. You don’t need to be derogatory or condescending to express yourself no matter your level as a christian. First I would join true Christians around the world to appeal to Rev Anita but would say listen to God rather than man.
I want to appeal to everyone to please pause and think deep because whatever a man sow, he shall surely reap. This is like beating a child like Ibo elders will say and still take the tears from the child.
Take a step aside and think. Is there a woman who will give up her home on flimsy excuse, if no why are we so callous and insensitive in this matter. I am a married woman and so are many reading this, or you have a mother, a sister or daughter. If you are happy for them to go through whatever brought Rev Anita to this level please continue with your judgmental approach towards her. And the God of truth will visit everyone with same except if there was no cause. Amen!!!
I have read some accusing her of money and power motivation. PLEASE LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE PASTOR ANITA I KNOW AS MOST OF YOU YOUNG ONES IN NIGERIA DO NOT HAVE MUCH OF AN ENCOUNTER WITH HER. Rev Anita has been my pastor for about 13 years now. I am one of the founding members of her church and I have seen her grow a church from using all any available venue while planting more churches in faith sending her best member out to start a new church, from two churches in England has grown to churches in almost every borough and cities. Rev Anita will see anyone and everyone regardless of your status.
