Eucheria trade words with Redeem pastor

The scene was more like a typical Nollywood set. Either by good intentions or mere coincidence, there happen to be a breach of communication between the popular pastor, Itua Ighodalo, and actress Eucharia Anunobi. What was meant to be an award giving event turned out to be a trade of words.

Three top actresses Eucharia Anunobi, Steph-Nora, Doris Simeon were meant to be receiving a honourary award by the Trinity House Church. Before the awards were given out, the pastor decided to make a small speech. It was this speech that sparked the whole fire for fire reaction from Eucheria.

In his speech, the pastor dwelled heavily on 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. It was not clear if the pastor was ignorant of the fact or was trying to drive home a point.

According our source, the pastor said that Nollywood marriages are breaking up everyday 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.

The actresses were said to have started humming to themselves while the pastor was still talking.  Pastor Itua was also a product of a marriage broke, and taken a second wife who he is living with now. This fact must have been what was on their mind as the pastor went on about Nollywood failed marriages.

When Eucheria stood up to speak, it was not a pleasant site. 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 had asked the pastor “how can you say that Nollywood marriages are breaking everyday? When you marry wrong wife, the marriage will break. When you marry the wrong man also, your marriage will break.

The whole drama was quickly put to an end when the choir was called to take over procession. We gathered that it was all settled at the pastor’s office after the service.
