EXCLUSIVE: Pastor Oyakhilome’s wife finally files for divorce in London court, alleges adultery

The dissolution of the marriage between Christ Embassy Church founder, Pastor Christian Oyakhilome, and his wife, Rev. Anita Odegwa Oyakhilome, has entered the final phase, TheCable can report.

The wife is seeking divorce on the grounds of “unreasonable behaviour” and “adultery”.

She outlined several allegations against the pastor which TheCable cannot publish for legal reasons.

The divorce case, with Suit No FD14D01650, was filed on April 9, 2014 at Divorce Section A, Central Family Court, First Avenue House, High Holborn, London, UK, on Anita’s behalf by Attwaters Jameson Hill Solicitors, a full-service law firm with expertise in commercial law and a strong consumer focus in family, wills and estate, personal injury law and medical negligence.

Efforts to reconcile the popular couple, whose church is one of the biggest denominations in Nigeria and has branches all over world, have failed.

They have two teenage daughters, Sharon and Charlyn.

Oyakhilome is the president of Believers’ Love World Inc, the registered name of the Christian ministry, while his wife is the vice-president.

The pastor, according to an elder of the church, has denied allegations of adultery and believes his wife is being influenced by “bad friends” who are intent on destroying their home.

While Anita believes she has been relegated in the scheme of things in the church, her husband has reportedly accused her of trying to usurp power and authority above her seniors in the ministry.

Sources told TheCable that the pastor had been making efforts to avoid divorce in the hope that the wife would eventually have a change of mind.

However, TheCable can also report that the decree nissi was served on the charismatic pastor in his hotel room during a recent visit to the UK.
Decree nissi, in legal terms, is like a yellow card in a football match which is a precursor to a red card (“decree absolute”) if no new evidence is provided to stall proceedings.
Church insiders said Oyakhilome had been hoping for rapprochement, but he was left with no option than to receive the papers when the lawyers cornered him at his hotel in London.
The decree absolute, which will effectively end the marriage, is expected to be issued

Hotels.ng is a scam!

In this age of increasing acceptance of e-commerce in Nigeria, Some ignoble elements parading themselves as online commerce businesses are bent on damaging the reputation of honest operators.

I had an emergency and had to travel to Lagos last weekend for a day and needed a quiet place to stay...As a former proponent of e-commerce (having worked in Konga.com), I headed online for convenience and found this site hotels.ng

My booking was confirmed electronically by e-mail and by SMS on Thursday. I equally called on the contact number on their website and got verbal confirmation before I set out from Port Harcourt to Lagos on Monday evening. After several delays due to bad weather and ....I guess simple age long inefficiency, Our flight NG320 on aero arrived LOS airport by 10pm.

Long story short, I got to Unilag Guest House by 11pm very exhausted very eager to shower and sleep off. On getting to the counter, the lady initially checked all though their reservations and stated "Oga, No reservations in your name" I said this is impossible as I couldnt even imagine leaving campus that night in search of another space.

After pressing hard, The guest house staff gave me the true picture: Hotels.ng staff came to the Unilag guest house, marketed the package to the management, without waiting for any feedback; whether approved, declined or not...Hotels.ng hosted Unilag Guest House as one of their hotels and even willing to collect payments upfront if the customer falls for it. I understand I am the 3rd of such victims to the online scam of Hotels.ng

I ended up paying for a room 300% more expensive than my original booking on Hotels.ng, and the extra budgetary expenditures made me loose sleep half the night.

This is very terrible experience. We are building a new system of business in Nigeria online and the trust quotient is still very low with over 70% of customers preferring to pay online. The last thing that burgeoning sector needs is deception, Erroneus posting or outright fraud which I suspect are all fatal flaws in the Hotels.ng posting of Unilag Guest House as their subscribing hotels.

If dem like...They should "Kontunu" One day, Monkey go go market, e no go see road to come back again!

Ebola Drug May be here Sooner than we Thought...

Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc, a company in San Diego, has come up with an experimental Ebola treatment which appears to be working on two Americans who were infected with the deadly Ebola virus in Liberia.


The biotechnology drug is ZMapp, and it is produced with tobacco plants. Up until recently, the drug hadn’t been certified for humans as it had only been tested on animals.

Its use has now made the two health workers get better.

The first patient, Kent Brantly, a doctor,who was flown from Liberia to Atlanta on 2 Aug, is receiving treatment at Emory University Hospital, while Nancy Writebol, an aid worker, is scheduled to arrive in Atlanta today, 5 August, and will be treated at the same hospital.

Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases disclosed that each patient received at least one dose of ZMapp in Liberia before coming to the United States.

He said, “There’s a very scarce number of doses,” and it’s not clear how many each patient needs for treatment. I’m not sure how many doses they’ll get.

There is no cure for Ebola, although several companies, including ‘Mapp are working on drug candidates that are undergoing animal testing to find a permanent cure for the deadly disease.

Thank you Blessing Okagbare

In writing this small piece, I ruminate over 2 very touching quotes of great people in the past:

I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider, who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like a state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind. ~ George Bernard Shaw

Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom. ~ George S. Patton

The reason why I love quoting Bernard Shaw is for the simple fact that a Literatue Giant has no business establishing a Globally recongnised School of Economics for the fact that they live in a world that is probably too fictional and withdrawn from reality to fully grasp the data based theories of the world of economics BUT not for the humble English playwright Mr Shaw.

 

From the quote above , Its clear that no human being alive has a right to give up on their ambitions, hope and aspirations irrespective of how much glory they have attained or for how long they have sustained it. Blessing Okagbare made every Nigerian and every African proud yesterday. She was dominant from beginning to end and what makes it more interesting was the way she humbled the Jamaican giants Stewart and Campbell to clinch the 100m and 200m Athletics gold medal in the on-going Commonwealth games Glasgow 2014.

Here is a lady who many Nigerians justifiably hissed in agony when she came 7th in the London 2012 olympics after showing so much promise in the heats and semi finals of same competition. The same jamaicans all performed better than her in that competition. Now she is head and shoulder ahead of them and very rightly so.

 

In life, I have learnt never to stop dreaming and never to stop winning for therein is the essence of life itself...Even the bible says ''I wish above all things that you will prosper, evern as your soul prospereth".

 

Blessing has done very well but she is a half baked Legend still in the hands of the goldsmith, I hope she keeps training harder and getting better till when the refined gold is set before the world to see come Olympics in Rio 2016 and beyond.

 

Having said this I come to the crux of the matter,

• Special thanks to you Blessing for making all of us Nigerians very proud. Ten Gbosa for you.
• Special thanks to Gov. Uduaghan for investing in Blessing Okagbare & sponsoring her training programmes. For all the support you have given to Blessing, the world has a reason to celebrate her today.
• Special thanks to all her primary school teachers who saw her physique as an asset rather than a liability and by so doing gave birth to the champion she is today. I wish I could name all of you one by one on this column.

God Bless Nigeria!
