Anita, an ex-wife to one of the music duo- P Square, Paul Okoye, has revealed that her wounds were reopened after watching the movie “The Wait”.
Recall that eight years after their glamorous wedding, Anita and Paul Okoye headed for a divorce.
The mother of three, who noted that she is a living testimony, explained that she was touched by the movie and could not help but be emotional as the movie script was similar to her life experience.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that “The Wait” is a 2021 Nigerian faith-based movie about how a devoted doctor helped a desperate couple to find a baby.
The movie storyline is no doubt similar to Anita’s, who waited for years before welcoming another child.
It is no longer news that Anita had 4 miscarriages before welcoming her twins, Nathan and Nadia.
Bearing this in mind, Anita said: “This movie had me on a roller coaster of emotions… Having gone through 4 miscarriages myself, it undoubtedly reopened closed wounds. But look at me today!!
“There really is purpose in #Tbe Wait and it truly is #WorthTheWait. I am aware that occasionally the silence can be unbearably loud… Trust that God, in his infinite mercy will NEVER forsake you. And it truly is a privilege to #WaitonGod I am living testimony!!”.
Recall that an Abuja High court had granted Anita and Paul a divorce.
Anita, who got married to Paul in 2014, cited cheating, separation, being an absent father, fraud, and difficult experiences as her major reasons for seeking a divorce.
She requested a monthly settlement of $20,000 and a number of her husband’s mansions.
In the divorce petition signed by her lawyer, Ojonimi Akpe and Okutepa J.S at an Abuja High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Maitama, Anita had earlier claimed that she contributed N10 million as an agreement with her husband that she would be granted space at the mall he had just completed in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos.
She, however, claimed Paul Okoye cheated her out of a deal.
The petition reads in part, “That I know as a fact that the petitioner founded a company called TannkCo in 2019.
“That the petitioner and the respondent agreed to build a mall where TannkCo would have its main offices, and the petitioner contributed N10,000,000.00 (Ten Million Naira) for the purchase of the land and the building of the mall.
“That I know as a fact that the respondent, upon completion of the mall, reneged on the agreement and failed to give TannkCo a space in the mall.”
However, Anita decided to withdraw the claims and opted to settle following the alleged inability to prove all of the claims in her petition to the court.
The court, in a ruling on the case, granted joint custody of the children to the parties on October 20, 2022.
