The news making the
rounds in the social media has it that Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s daughter, Sharon has staged a Bikini Party to mark her 21st birthday.
This act has been widely condemned as ungodly for a Pastor’s daughter who claims to be a gospel singer so many reactions have continued to trial the act on the internet, one of the messages posted in the internet read “sorry but it is wrong at all levels for a Pastor’s child to have a bikini party what is the aim of a bikini party. Can such glorify God?
Please we have values in Africa and having a bikini party does not qualify you as one with good values.
Several others condemned Pastor Chris Oyakhilome for not properly up bringing his daughter. According to the Biblical messages he preaches, while some refer the bikini party as the after math of the untimely break up in the once blissful marriage of the head Pastor of believers Love World aka Christ Embassy Chris Oyakhilome and his estranged wife Anita.
It would be recalled that the break up came as a surprise to the public, it was gathered that Anita filled a divorce suit on the ground of infidelity on the party of Chris, but Pastor Oyakhilome said among other things that his wife keeps friends who bring out the worst in her and keeps friends who bring out the worst in her and help her see the worst in people instead of keeping friends that will help her vision especially as the wife of a global Pastor.
According to the news the two children of the estranged couple, Sharon and Charlyn are not happy with their parents decision to part ways after many years of staying on and off together. Sharon who celebrated her 21st birthday recently amidst much condemnation seems to be the most affected.
Sharon came to the limelight recently when she released her gospel single album and every one especially members of the Christ Embassy could not stop praizing her for choosing the God’s way unlike many others of her caliber who embrace secular music; but after the messy divorce Sharon staged a ridiculous bikini party.
It was also gathered that the face-off between Pastor Chris and his wife Anita has taken a new dimension with Pastor Chris now allegedly removed as a trustee of a United Kingdom branch of the Church. With his removal, his estranged wife Anita now presides over a seven man Board of trustees of the N8.2 billion rich branch.
Church documents reviewed have shown that the six other members of the board are Obi Chiemeka, Ifeoma Onubogu, Nkem Odiakah, Ramond Okocha, Tony Obi and Uche Onubogu are said to be loyal to Anita.
It was gathered that Mrs Oyakhilome has for long headed the UK branch of the Church, but her husband Chris before his sudden alleged removal has since inception presided over the board of Trustees. The new development now suggest that in addition to the matrimonial squabble, the couple is having an intense power struggle and battle for the soul of the UK branch of the Church.
Oyakhilome had dropped the first hint that there might be a hierarchical roll in the Church when he reportedly accused his wife of acting like an equal and wanting to overpower the authorities of the elders she met in the Church.

But while saying that, Yul also hinted that there were incidents in their marriage he had chosen not to discuss publicly.

According to him, he was “too much of a man” to come online and break down over personal matters.

According to her, if he truly meant well for his former wife, there was no reason to hint at hidden issues and leave people guessing.

“You wish her well, but you granted Podcast the power to sow doubt in people’s minds by saying she did something that led you to do what you did, but you won’t say it,” she said.

She went further to accuse Yul of being uncomfortable with May’s continued growth and public support.

“Oga, you’re just pained that she’s doing well!”
Sarah also questioned the purpose of the interview, asking if jealousy may have played a role.

Nigerian entrepreneur and socialite, Pascal Chibuike Okechukwu, also known as Cubana Chief Priest, has opened up on his fallout with singer Burna Boy, alleging that the music star publicly attacked him because of his close relationship with Davido.

Speaking during an interview on The Beat 99.9 FM on Wednesday, Cubana Chief Priest said his journey to success began from apprenticeship and years of hard work, adding that fame and financial growth often attract envy and criticism.

“Success comes with a lot of hate. I started my journey from apprenticeship and service and I learnt so much about growth and perseverance. When you start becoming successful, you understand how people treat you.

“I was on my own and Burna Boy came for me, went on his big platform and started tweeting things that are not genuine, things that are not possible, things that have not existed and the attack was straight to my wealth.

“So he wanted to make people look at my wealth, disrespect my wealth, I felt bad and that happened because of my relationship with Davido,” he said.

He further stated that Davido has consistently supported his businesses and personal projects.

“David is always there for me. He opened all my nightclubs, restaurants, everything. He always shows up to support me.

“He’s investing in clubs in Lagos, and I’m making music to prove a point that I can,” he added.
