This is not even funny at all. Sunday, April 15, 2012 was not a blissful day for actresses Eucharia Anunobi, Steph-Nora Okere, Doris Simeon and Pastor Ituah Ighodalo of Trinity House Church.
This is because the Pastor who had an award ceremony for Nollywood actresses had a serious misunderstanding with the above mentioned ladies right inside his church. Click to continue reading....
According to insider sources, Pastor Ituah who had good intentions by conceiving the idea of honouring star actresses seized the opportunity to insult them, and as a means of defence they replied him while the church members were left to gape at the drama.As gathered, Pastor Ituah who wanted to give summary of the award initiatives before handing them over to the actresses, delved into the contentious subject of divorce and broken marriages in Nollywood, not minding that all the ladies from Nollywood who were present before him had broken marriages.
According to the sources, the pastor said that Nollywood marriages are breaking up every day as a result of too much nudity and rituals in our movies.
He was said to have dwelt too much on the issue of broken marriages in Nollywood that people felt that he was directly talking to the three ladies in his church.
He allegedly insisted that he wanted to redeem them from broken marriages and that was the reason of the award.
The actresses were said to have told each other that Pastor Ituah has forgotten that his own marriage broke and he had to even take a second wife who he is living with now, as he is not free from what he accused them to be doing.
They insisted that Pastor Ituah was expelled from Redeemed Christian Church of God because he left his first wife to marry a second woman without any reason.
After murmuring unbearably with each other, Evangelist Eucharia Anunobi refused to keep quiet.
The time came for her to collect her award from the pulpit, she decided to voice out in defence and against the Pastor.
She was said to have disclosed that she will like to correct the notion that it is only Nollywood marriages that are breaking up.
She indicated that she knew marriages of people who are not stars that had broken, that she knew pastors whose marriages had broken, civil servants whose marriages had broken, bankers, ordinary Nigerians whose marriages had broken.
She lamented that people know about broken marriages in Nollywood because they are in the public light and people know them.
She was said to have asked the pastor, how can you say that Nollywood marriages are breaking every day? When you marry wrong wife, the marriage will break. When you marry the wrong man also,your marriage will break.
Mine broke not because I wanted it to break. No sane person would marry hoping that the marriage would break, the records must be set straight and not give people wrong impressions about us because as I stand today, I am shining light and ambassador of God in the film industry, she said.
Anger was said to fill the faces of Trinity House Church members when their pastor derailed from his message and focused attention on Nollywood ladies, while they took to clapping when Eucharia was correcting and laying bare his iniquities.
Immediately she finished her bitter remarks, Evangelist Anunobi was said to have moved straight to the Pastor greeted him and left the church premises with other actresses without sitting down again.
its like Ituah has forgotten hes living in a glass house and is throwing stones. Mscheeeeew!!! Man of God indeed!!
ReplyDeleteNawa o, this them pastor ighodalo get as e be. He went to marry fine girl. Why didnt he marry one of his older, not as beutiful church members before he met this his new wife? The wife too, with all we hear say them do, married rich man. Rich man want fine young girl, young girl want rish man. Nawa o. I just dey wonder if there is any sincerity left in this world anymore. Most associations nowadays, based ona lot of physical features. Nawa
ReplyDeleteDon’t throw stones when you live in a glass house
ReplyDeleteHe should have made his mission known to them in private
ReplyDeleteExactly what i'm thinking
Deletekasala don shelle oooh , hmmmm ituah thank God for christ , you should have been sensetive , having walked through that part . nobody would pray for their marriage to breakdown.
ReplyDeleteDivorce has become rampant in our land
ReplyDeleteThe truth is bitter
ReplyDeleteHmm No comment
ReplyDeleteDid Eucharia Anunobi say she allowed her marriage to break up?
ReplyDeletewhile i respect men of God, I think pastor ituah had no right to embarss them like that especially since his first marriage ended up in divorce. I think Eucharia did the right thing by standing up to him.
ReplyDeleteSassy
Marriage and the issue of divorce cannot be addressed at a sitting.
ReplyDeleteI support Ms Anunobi on this. Marriages break up in every profession
ReplyDeleteThrowing stones while you live in a glass house
ReplyDeleteOver sabi dey worry madam actress
ReplyDeleteWhat over sabi?you worship God not pastor ok...kudos to her for putting him in his place...nonsense!
DeleteThe first question is what was he a pastor giving nollywood actresses awards for in the first place? What is wrong with these god forsaken men of gods? Anything to draw crowds in right? Church is now a marketing centre for pulling crowds or is it customers? And how come he dares open his filthy mouth about divorce when he himself is one? Such stupidity! You silly church goers, stop following silly pastors and start following christ.
ReplyDeleteWhat do u mean by "over sabi dey worry madam actress" go get a life u low life!....will u sit down and watch someone throw insults @ u? Eucharia did the right thing!! Enough of stereotypical statements.....divorce is not only common in the entertainment industry but everywhere!!!
ReplyDeletePls tell him to respect his self. DELSU POST UME DEPARTMENTAL CUT OFF MARKS
ReplyDeleteI pity all of you talking unlawfully about a man of God. Thou shall not judge. Does anyone still remember that verse?
ReplyDeleteWho is judging..holier than thou!...hypocrites like u make me sick..people like u dat have made sum of dis pastors nightmare to behold..I look up to d cross..JESUS..not most of dis so called pastors dat are in race to outdo each other
DeleteSweetie;this MoG was also judging these actresses! What do u have to say to that? I pity u for brainwashing urself into thinking pastors shldnt be critised!where in your bible was that written?
DeleteBut its ok for the pastor to judge them abi? U are a fool. The man is a hypocrite jare. Money seeking idiotic pastor.
DeleteInteresting
ReplyDeleteLool!really interesting :)
Delete"Anonymous said... I pity all of you talking unlawfully about a man of God. Thou shall not judge. Does anyone still remember that verse? 30 April, 2012 14:00"
ReplyDeleteAll u funny christians that use this bloody excuse. Eucharia is also anointed woman of God ...so what do u ve to say.
Abegi!
Anyway, I dont think Pastor Itua should have gone about it that way. It wasnt appropriate
Anonymous saying thou shall not judge....abeg was the pastor not judging?
ReplyDeleteU guys dnt even know hw 2ru dis story is b4 abusing any one of them
DeleteDat reply was d best mrs glamour girls.
ReplyDeleteI am entitled to my own opinion. Watch what you say about men of God. That’s all I said.
ReplyDeleteUre a brainwashed idiot, u have no use 2 society,waste of space, white men have gone 2 space,ure still here allowing pastor 2 use ure brain 2 soak garri. Dis exploitation by men of God is what d white man encountered in d middle ages. D institution of d state n God was believed 2 be merged in2 1. D english king claimed he was chosen by God do he used dat opportunity 2 sleep wit his subjects wife n burn innocent ppl @ d stake claiming its Gods will. Man will always hide behind Gods name 2 commit d most heinous sin
DeleteActually if your point is that men of God are on a higher pedestal than the rest of us thanks to the almighty .....they are the ones who need to watch what they say AND DO more than the rest of us.....why didn't Pastor Ituah remain married to Lucia ?...did he not know divorce was unwholesome then ?
DeleteSo come day of judgement there will be one line for the Pastors and another one for us sinners???
DeletePlease !!
I always knew uk is allergic to bs
ReplyDeleteWatch what u say about man of god abi...what about woman of god? Was the pastor not speaking I'll about another pastor? Or is he exempt from the rule? Hiss! You and pastor join, all of una hypocrites! Go aunty UK for standing up for yourself. Na today marriage begin scatter? More wil scatter when people keep marrying for the wrong reason and the wrong people. Shikena!
ReplyDeleteItuah needs fatherhood in his life. Look at how that pretty Ibidun has aged. She too needs motherhood and not chasing contracts and xxxxxxx about the whole place. The divorced one is now castigating others. Remove the speck in your eye before you remove the log in others. Judge not indeed. Who says we shouldn't judge? Read that whole judging verse and come back please.
ReplyDeletewell i see a lot of you do not know anything about ituah, like i said before he had walked through that path , he now is doing holy holy , how was he in Freedom hall, apapa parish ? how many babes passed through him ( now i did not say he slept with them oooh ) he loved yellow sissy and were they killing demselves for attention.
ReplyDeletewhy did he rush to marry the first wife in london , where did they court , himself and Tony were doing their thing together as pe tony was his paddy man / spirtual father and was covering him , that is what we saw oooh , we now heard he married ,
unfortunately the babe he married never wanted to relocate and cos he had business here in Niger it was very difficult to nurture their relationship .
Been a very nice person , intelligent and seeing his passion for God , babes wanted him so badly , 60% of christchurch then were happening babes attending church , and the lord took control by bringing ibidun unto his way .
Am not hating but i do not like people pretending that they never had a past they were not too proud of . he went through a lot after the divorce cos freedon hall babes were like lobatan and that made him get closer to GOD.
Said my piece and pls if you need further gist unna go City of david , christ church dem sabi am well well.
I see that u are getting a bit humble mamasomtee well done am proud of you. As for you Ladun don't post all my comments. You know what I have said us the truth.
DeleteMama Somtee you like jist sha. No need to bring his old news. Let's just focus on the current topic. I'm not being rude to you in anyway you wrote the real thing. Ibidun frequents Abuja for contracts and other things. He should face his home and not be the judge.
ReplyDeleteNa wa...dis issue is too delicate to evn touch.
ReplyDelete@Jehovanni you are right
ReplyDeleteJehovanni why is it too delicate to touch? Have you been brainwashed not to give constructive criticism to God of Men?
ReplyDelete@Jehovanni
ReplyDeleteWhat is delicate..he brought 'women of God' out to condemn them for the same act he is guilty of . . couldnt he have talked to them in private??
You people are men worshippers..simple. You are so scared of their positions that you fail to admit what is true and right....is this what your bible preaches? Your types will gladly ignore God for your 'men of God' when he shows up. smh
i like Eucharia's response.she was not rude but was able to stand up to the so called pastor.Most of our pastors in Nigeria always teke their congreagation for granted insulting them with their challenges,and pretending they are encouraging them.Some are rude,and lets face it,if some of them are not pastors???/where would they be?
ReplyDeleteI like the way Eucharia stood up to him,Some of nigerian pastors insult their congregation under the pretence of preaching.In my opinion,being a pastor means you should be hunmble and accommodating but some of them use their position to attack people facing challenges in their marriages and finances.
ReplyDeleteHe started it,so it was good someone stood up to him
ReplyDeleteMama Sometee, you cant help yourself! ooh dear, you must be very lonely. You know everyones gist. Nah wa oo. You try. Now i know why people abuse you. Agbaya
ReplyDeleteWhat is this charade about.I thought God said so not judge.
ReplyDeletehttp://abroadtales.blogspot.ca/2012/05/can-rape-occur-in-marriage.html
Na wa for this my country people o! No respect for men of God and their wife's! Ibidun is a good girl just doing her business no string attach, and where in d bible did dye say pastors wife should not chase contract? How are dye gonna pay their tirth if dry dnt work? Think before u insult
ReplyDeleteAll these typos and gbagauns you scattered here is for what na? When you will be there defending with all your man-powerised veins, you forgot to proof-read your comment before posting
DeleteYou can count on my fingers the pastors i send for, the rest i don't care much for.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, 'Touch not my anointed' is the most abused scripture in the bible.
The other most abused one is judge not so that ye will not be judged.
DeletePlease I need help, I have been seeing this word everywhere. Please what does LOBATAN mean?
ReplyDeleteAnon 02 May, 2012 04:01; i posted before you. Thank you. If people think she's changed some of us aren't fooled. I shall say no more.
ReplyDeleteJanded where did God say do not judge? Is that the whole sentence? Read it, digest it and break it down please.
ReplyDeleteLOBATAN; trust me ask Goggle and "she" will answer you.
ReplyDeletewoun ----you came to evangelise on the blog abi ? pepperbody !!!!!
ReplyDeletewhat do you mean?
ReplyDeleteIs she incapable of changing?
Give her some space and chance.
In marriage she has not changed when will she change, is it when she becomes a Mum? We pray for that so she will sit down in one place.
ReplyDeleteI have come to observe that people in lagos don't ever want to see a beautiful and happy couple...because a lot of people are very frustrated in their own relationships so when they see an apparently happy couple the go into epileptic fits........omashe oooo
ReplyDeleteAnon May 3 09:29am aka voltron defender of d universe. You must b a born bastard for dat stupid statement. Ibidun's housegirl.
ReplyDeleteCrackheads!!!
