Controversial Nollywood actor Emeka Ike, has accused Lagos flamboyant pastor (names withheld), of being behind the crisis in his marriage.
The actor alleged that the pastor has been frustrating his efforts to reconcile with his wife, Susanne, who had instituted a divorce suit against him.
Emeka Ike’s statement :
“I want people to look into this issue critically. I’ve never beaten this woman in my life. When she ran out of home, I called my pastor and they took us for counselling. For one week, I was begging her every day; I would go home alone and she would go home alone as well.
“At a point, pastor asked us to write five things we like and dislike about each other. The pastor said that maybe we could work it out. I wrote mine, she wrote hers and she never said there that I used to beat her. I still have that document with me. She gave me what she wrote and I gave her what I wrote. If I used to beat her, she could not have left it out from that then. Any man that beats a woman is a coward. I know that someone somewhere must have done something to her. How can I beat a woman I adore so much? I love my family and this is very unfortunate. Her children have been begging her to come home, and she has refused.
“I am pretty sure my wife is acting confused; she is acting as if she is under a spell, which is psychological and then she is acting under blackmail.
“There was a time I accused her of bringing men to my house. I mean, which woman will wake her husband up in the middle of the night and said to him, share your property I want to get my share now from what you have? Tell me, which woman will do that if not acting under a spell?
“There was a time I travelled and she closed down my school and sent all the students away. So, there is a lot to it, other than the allegation of battery against me and I want the whole world to know. My name is precious to me and I don’t want anything to drag it in the mud.
“Pastor … just absolved my wife into his church without making any effort to get in touch with me. If as a pastor, your church member is having issue with her husband, and you failed to do anything to resolve it, what kind of pastor are you? When I called him, he refused to pick my call. He also failed to react to a text message I sent to him. Is that a man of God? Even, if you have a police case, they will make effort to hear from you before taking a position, not to talk of the church.
“When we went to court, I told my wife that I’m interested in amicable settlement of the matter, and that I still want her back. But she refused. Even, if you don’t want me, what of your children, I asked her and she still would not listen to me. I want the whole world to know because there is a lot of misinformation out there. …” Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Am not trying to be bias here or judgemental. How on earth will a pastor give another man's wife a lawyer to fight her husband in court? Your duty as a pastor is to call the couples make peace and pray for them. Not the other way round. Pastor Okotie or have you heard instruction from God that Emeka Ike's wife should be your own wife again???. Cos you are always good with God said. For me I don't see myself in such church ooo ooo. Ohunnn hunn hunnn .

ReplyDeleteEmeka Ike,
ReplyDeleteVery soon you will blame the Pastor for rainfall or for the price of petrol.
Only a lame man will blame a third party for his marital woes!!! Or was it the pastor that made you beat your wife??
How brain dead can someone be?
DeleteWhat is the role of a spiritual father?
1. A man of God that enters inside the church with armed guards? Not the compound ooo. Inside the sanctuary of God.
2. A man of God that organizes beauty pageants among the young girls of his congregation?
3. A two times divorcee?
4. A man who tore Stephanie's marriage apart and later married her (his second wife)
End times...
The man sure likes fair women and Emeka Ike's wife meets the criteria.
Let's start thinking about color combinations for aso ebi no 3
Shame on every reckless man that beats his wife. My Uncle calls them wife beaters beasts!
ReplyDeleteThe last two anonymous speakers of 2:51 & 2:52pm respectively are u ok or is is that didn't get the speech? If he beats his wife, why didn't the wife cry out. Emeka didn't start complaining today. Y shld a pastor encourage divorce to d extent of buying gifts for another person's wife. Even if Emeka beats the wife, is that the reason y she shld b fleting arnd a pastor. Women are meant to keep their homes. Is she not supposed to shun d devil in the pastor that has recorded series of divorce and make her marriage work by going on bended knees to God and being good. Emeka is a public figure & so shld go public in this case. The bible said only in d case of infidelity not beating. U can keep away from ur husband and involve family if ur husband is beating u, not running into the arms of a pastor. "Pastors", that name has been abused and misused. Emeka, take it to God in prayer and he will take care of it. Tell Him what u want, and He will make all things right. Shame to d woman that cannot even consider her children.
ReplyDeleteChika Meldy,
DeleteEmeka Ike's wife has alleged in her divorce petition that Emeka is a wife beater. She has raised the same allegation on various social media posts. Please google it.
You are saying that a woman her mother carried for 9 months should stay with a wife beater. Wife batter is wrong period!!
Any man that condones wife battery is not a serious man, only losers beat their wives and blame popular third parties.
Listen to yourself, :" The bible said only in d case of infidelity not beating. " So you will allow your daughter to stay with, no die in the house of man that beats her???
So going to court is the arm of a pastor??
Domestic violence is often condoned for some sick reason. A wife is not a punching bag, only sick men defend other men who beat their wives. So Chika are you ok?
My friend drop that bottle of Gulder now!!
Emeka sorry,for me I was dying in poverty with my husband,and I decided to pray my life out of it,but as soon as I did a pastor from akwa ibom,took. My husband away, told my husband I am a devil that my husband must leave me to succeed in life,as I write I have a son for him but he has not seen the child.so that is what we are experiencing from this demons called pastors.
ReplyDeleteEmeka, grant her all her wishes and then try and ignore her for a long time and note how she will feel deflated. It will be difficult initially but you will soon see dramatic changes in her. You appear to devote too much time to her. Ignore her.
