Founding Church Member Reveals More About Oyakhilomes Divorce

Mixed reactions have continued to trail the messy divorce of one of Nigeria’s favourite couple, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome and wife, Rev. Anita, since the report went viral.
However, a founding church member, Cyla Simpson, has taken to Facebook page ‘Where is Rev Anita Oyakhilome’, created by some concerned members of the church, to defend Rev.Anita.

Read what Cyla Simpson has to say below:
“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.
If she ever kept you waiting, she will apologize profusely throughout the meeting and make it good to you. Rev Anita without an office will still counsel us even in her car on Wednesday night after church yet she has 1hour 30mins drive back home with 2 young girls. For so long she was driving a volkswagon golf until 2005 that we bought her a BMW X3 and she still refused to drive it for many months until she was begged to use it so that we can be blessed.
She used the same car until 2010/2011 and the replacement she had then is still what she used till her last day in church last year.
We begged her to come around for us to celebrate her birthday but she will still go into hiding. On her return, the little song we will do for her, she will return it to Rev Chris in thanksgiving. Any money you give her she sends it straight to church account or Loveworld TV. If we ever raise money for her birthday she ask us to go and use it for evangelism or send it to Loveworld TV. When you give her any material thing, regardless of the shop you purchased it, she will use it for you to see and thank you as long as she sees you for the gift.
