Yesterday, rumours went viral that
Christ Embassy Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s ex wife Anita may have
remarried after a different surname showed up right beside her maiden
name Ebhodaghe on her blog.
You recall that back in February 2016,
Pastor Anita’s marriage to Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of Christ Embassy was
dissolved in the UK. And since then, she consistently ran an online
portal where she blogs about various issues – www.pastoranita.org
The site was recently shut down for maintenance. Only to come back on with pronounced major
changes especially the one that sparked the viral rumours – on her latest blog post titled ‘A Simple Prayer’, Pastor Anita who used to bear Anita Ebhodaghe signed off as Anita Ebhodaghe Schafer

Since that newest post went live, rumors went rife that Pastor Anita has secretly remarried!
Well, here is the real gist about Pastor
Anita’s name change, according to insiders: It has nothing to do with
her marital status.
Upon the dissolution of her marriage, she had opted to revert back to her maiden name Ebhodaghe.
Pastor Anita is the eldest daughter of
Mr. John U. Ebhodaghe, OFR, former MD/CEO of Nigerian Deposit Insurance
Corporation (NDIC), and a Swiss mother. She has a dual citizenship and
is reported to be very close to her Swiss mother who stays in London
with her.
According to Kulgists, reverting to
Ebhodaghe might have brought up some issues with her PR. She is likely
to be concerned with her image as an international online Pastor and may
have been advised to use a more “internationally appealing” name.
Who is Schafer?
The next available name was her mother’s
Swiss name Schäfer. Putting Schäfer after her paternal name Ebhodaghe
makes her Pastor Anita Edhodaghe Schafer. And if the conspiracy theory
is true, then we will be seeing just Pastor Anita Schafer, the
London-based international pastor.
It is most likely that she may never remarry as she is devoting her time now to full time evangelism and pastoral work.
Again, Pastor Anita has not responded to any congratulatory message on her blog post.
But then, the circled comments below
from Frau Glauben which congratulates Pastor Anita on her new name and
saying the ceremony was beautiful point to the possibility that Pastor
Anita has truly remarried. Pastor Anita approves all comments that are
published on her website:
Congratulations Pastor Anita for your
new name. We wish you all the best as you begin a new chapter in your
life as you have moved on to the glory of God. Old things are passed
away, behold all things have become new. It was such a beautiful
ceremony. We are so excited for you and your family. We Rejoice with
you, Pastor Anita Schafer. God bless you Ma.
