Aisha Ugah & Ann EgweFormer Presidential candidate of the F.R.E.S.H. PARTY in Nigeria and the General Overseer of The Household of God Church,(Lagos), Rev.Chris Okotie(50) began the process of formalising his relationship with the woman that stole his heart, Stephanie Henshaw, in a colourful traditional wedding in Ikoyi, Lagos,yesterday Aug. 7,2008. With this latest development,what started like a mere gossip has now metamorphorsed into a reality before our very eyes.Stephanie is one of the numerous beautiful sisters who worship at Rev. Okotie's church in Oregun area of Lagos.Said to be twice married with 3 kids, her current adventure with Rev Okotie is her 3rd attempt at marriage.Okotie on his part was once married to Tyna,his first love, for 17 years before they parted ways in 2001 when Tyna relocated to the US and refused to come back to Nigeria. The union did not produce any issue while it lasted.
In 2007 when the Greek-speaking man of God vied for Nigeria's presidency on the platform of FRESH PARTY, which he solely formed and financed, he was constantly at the receiving of various verbal attacks from those who believe that a 'bachelor' is not morally qualified to rule Nigeria , but now that Okotie is finally married, the story certainly has to change.
METROGIST-NIGERIA joins others to wish the new couple a blissful marriage.
The pictures above show some of the faces at the trad wedding..watchout for the pictures of the registry/reception(Aug 8)and the thanksgiving(sun Aug 10) in subsequent posts...
