Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s ex-Wife, Anita moves on, changes name, remarries

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s ex-Wife, Anita moves on, changes name, remarries

It has been confirmed that the estranged wife of the founder of Christ Embassy Church, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome – Anita, seems to have moved on with her life following her break up with her husband.

It was are also strong indications that she has remarried.

Anita sparked up marriage rumors recently after she introduced ‘Schafer’ to her maiden name.

She authored her latest article ‘A Simple Prayer’ with the name Anita Ebhodaghe Schafer, on her online Christian portal at www.pastoranita.org.

Below is an article where it was confirmed she had remarried, as one of the approved comments said, “Congratulations Pastor Anita for your new name.”

Two other comments – “Congratulations Pastor Anita for your new name,” “It was such a beautiful ceremony,” also confirmed that the mother of two had tied the nuptial nuts.

It would be recalled that Anita was last year, involved in a messy break up with her husband, Chris after she claimed he was involved in illicit affairs with female members of the church.

She said she tolerated abuse for so long and subsequently, the ministry pulled down her profile from the church website, a development that showed all was not well with the family.

She had confirmed she was no longer a part of, or involved in, Christ Embassy, also known as, Believers LoveWorld INC.

Anita, however, officially filed for divorce at Central Family Court, High Holborn, London, UK, citing her husband’s “unreasonable behaviour” and inappropriate relationships with members of staff, an intonation of “adultery” as her reason.

Scientists have taught rats to drive cars – and found they enjoyed it.

Scientists have taught rats to drive cars – and found they enjoyed it.

A new experiment, conducted by psychology professor Kelly Lambert transformed a food container into a miniature car by adding wheels and copper bans.

Lambert and her colleagues at the University of Richmond trained the rats by constantly rewarding them with food every time they moved the plastic car forward. As the experiment went on, the team placed the food further away to encourage the rats to fine-tune their driving.

The rats learnt how to control the direction of the car by gripping the left, middle and right copper bars with their paws. Analysis of their body chemistry suggested that they found the task enjoyable.

Lambert told ‘New Scientist’: “They learned how to navigate the car in unique ways and engaged in steering patterns they had never used to eventually arrive at the reward.”

EUROPE’S anti-refugee policies have reached new depths,NGO charges.

EUROPE’S anti-refugee policies have reached new depths, a human rights organisation said today after detailing troubling conversations with the Maltese maritime authorities.

Last Friday afternoon, Alarm Phone, an activist network which provides support for people crossing the Mediterranean to reach Europe, discovered that the Maltese Rescue Co-ordination Centre (RCC) allowed the EU-funded Libyan coastguard to intercept a refugee boat from within its search and rescue (SAR) zone.

Alarm Phone contacted Malta’s RCC after it was contacted by an overcrowded boat with nearly 50 people on board in distress.

But when the group later repeatedly tried to provide the RCC with the boat’s updated location, their calls and emails were ignored until seven hours after they were first contacted by the boat.

According to a transcript of the phone conversation, seen by the Morning Star, the duty officer at the RCC told Alarm Phone that he had “confirmation that this case was rescued by the Libyan coastguard” and gave the location of the rescue, a position inside the island nation’s SAR zone.

The group says the incident showed Malta had violated international SAR and refugee law by failing to immediately assist a boat in distress within its SAR zone, by failing to instruct the Libyan coastguard to bring the rescued people to the closest port of safety, which would have been Lampedusa at only 41 miles away, and by allowing refugees to be returned to a warzone.

Alarm Phone’s Maurice Stierl told the Star that Malta’s actions were cynical.

“Instead of immediately launching a rescue operation, these 50 lives were put at risk in order to allow the so-called Libyan coastguard the time to come into the Maltese SAR zone.

“Europe’s anti-migrant deterrence has reached yet another low point where Libyan forces, whose implication in widespread human rights violations is proven, are allowed into European SAR zones to abduct people and return them to the inhumane camps of Libya.”

“We denounce these cynical interceptions and refoulements in the strongest possible terms.”

The migrants were returned to Tripoli and, according to Alarm Phone, were sent to the Triq al-Sikka detention centre, which is “well known for its inhumane conditions and the grave human rights violations that occur there,” the group said.

Meanwhile, the European Union has still not provided a port of safety to the Ocean Viking, an NGO migrant rescue ship operated by French charities SOS Mediterranee and Doctors Without Borders, which rescued 104 people on October 18, five days after the crew asked the Maltese and Italian governments for help.
