The story which was narrated by one Chris Anyanwu, shows how horrible some some people can be.

**************************
The story of Pastor Mark and his
unfortunate wife Perpetua Udoka dates back to February 2000. Udoka who
commenced a bright career in banking in a small town called Ogbaku near
Owerri in Imo State innocently confided in a brother in the church who
incidentally was the leader of the prayer squad of their local church at
a time.
She solicited for the face of God
concerning her proposals from three suitors who were seriously asking
for her hand in marriage, a medical doctor, a fellow banker and a public
servant. Her genuine intention was for this brother to join hands with
her to seek for God’s intervention to enable her make the very best of
decision. Unknown to her, she had just had a date with the very devil
she’s intending to avoid.
Pastor Mark who was supposedly expected
to hear from God for onward transmission to Udoka could not help but
fraudulently take advantage of the situation. In his criminal revelation
to sister Udoka who waited earnestly for the solemn voice of God, he
quietly muted in such a shameless display of authority weeks after that
God has changed everything.
“Initially, the banker was the one, but
God has seen that marrying him won’t allow you serve him the way he
wants you to and so he changed it.” he said.
Who then is the one? Your curiosity is
as high as mine. In his tactical measure of deceit, summoning the guts
and clearing the air to weed off suspicion, he replied “I’m sure it will
be difficult for you to accept, but certainly God has spoken” I’m the
one.
For Udoka’s family, it was a no no
particularly considering pastor Mark’s educational background and social
status. What does the young man do for a living? How does he intend to
sustain a family, How will he cope with the family members and all sort
of questions made the choice process a herculean task for Udoka. But for
her, since God has supposedly spoken, she would be sure she’s making
the right choice and to cut the long story short, her families were
convinced. They all came out supported and fully sponsored the wedding
ceremony.
Unknown to Udoka, the biggest attraction
was her lucrative career at the time. Just within a space of twenty
months, a car was bought, a landed property and a shop was paid for all
in the name of the husband Pastor Mark Chukwudi Etiti. Udoka built a
house for her Pastor husband on bank loan. She did a lot both for the
husband’s family and the husband himself on loans including borrowing
money on behalf of the husband to the extent that repayments become a
serious challenge and she ultimately lost the bank job.
It became a pitiable situation better
imagined, after she lost her job. Udoka became a punching bag. On many
occasions, the mother in-law will come all the way from the village to
order Udoka out of the very house she built. Udoka had sustained various
degrees of injuries inflicted on her by the same husband she picked
from the gutters. She was hospitalized severally. The mother in-law had
once threatened that it is either Udoka leaves the son alive or the
deceased body will be carted away like nobody and her threat came to
pass after all. Udoka’s thirteen year old daughter had once reported to
the police of how the father had bitten the mum to stupor on the fear
that the mum was dead.
