Chris and Anita met in the 1990. A daughter of a Nigerian father and a Swiss mother, Anita is the eldest of five children in the family. In her young years, Anita studied at the Ambrose Ali University, the same with her prospective husband Chris. There they met and fell in love with each other.
In 1991, Chris and Anita already got married. They needed to go side by side for 25 years before they decided to break apart. In the marriage, the couple had two wonderful daughters, Sharon and Charlene.
Now both the girls are with their mother in the United Kingdom after Sharon, who was not even supposed to take sides in the scandal between her parents, suddenly supported her mother. It sounds even more curious because Sharon was supposed to stay with the father and Charlene – with the mother.
It seemed that everything in Pastor Chris and Anita’s life was going fine until 2014. On April 9, Anita demanded a divorce from the Central Family Court located in London. The process was long and tiresome and lasted for about two years. Everything was finished on February 8, 2016.
What happened between the spouses, what made this wife file for divorce? The causes seemed shocking: the Pastor was charged with adultery among other allegations. It seemed incredible to charge a Christian pastor with such things and it was a major blow to the image of the pastor.
No wonder that he was angry as could be and declined all the allegations as the ones that are aimed at the complete ruination of his reputation and public image of the church. His lawyers threatened mass media means with return sues for damaging and turning down the reputation of the pastor.
Curious enough but the pastor was accused of some wrongdoing before. In 2012, he was charged with messy affairs connected with his church and its affiliates in other countries. Having declined all the accusations, the pastor kept on doing his job until he was removed from the board of trustees of his own church after the divorce with his wife and the accusations she threw into his face.
Before the spouse filed for their divorce, Anita was one of the major executives of Pastor Chris’ ministry in Nigeria and the supreme person in the ministry’s affiliate in London. When losing his wife, Pastor Chris has also lost a business partner and an effective assistant in all his church affairs.
After the separation, Anita returned to her maiden name.

In 2017, there was news that Sharon was engaged to her boyfriend. A Ghanaian by his ethnic belonging, her Dutch-born boyfriend was raised in the United Kingdom. Her fans gladly accepted the fact and joined her mother in the engagement congratulations.
