I saw this on a fellow bloggers site and had to share. Please read and tell us if you Pastor Ituah is a man who is living in a glass house and throwing stones.
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. 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.
