‘I Was Scared of Women After My Ugly Experience With My Ex-Wife’ – Actor John Okafor Reveals Shocking Details

Nollywood actor, John Okafor AKA Mr Ibu, does not pretend when it comes to most things and the issue of marriage is one of them. And that’s why when his first marriage crashed, he stayed away from women for six years before he found love again.

The comic actor and producer will tell anyone that cares to listen that he married the most beautiful woman in the world.
Call her his ‘first class’ or ‘queen’, Mr. Ibu believes that his latest wife, Stella Maris Okafor, is a compensation from God, after what he calls the ugly experience he had with his former wife.

His story is inspiring…Read below:

New wife:

I call her, my first class. I don’t have anything to do with any woman out there that can be compared to my wife. I have the best wife in the whole world. You can quote me. This is because when you have a wife that has the key to your heart, a woman that is in charge of your memory card, what are you looking for again? She’s a rare breed in the species of womenfolk.
Sometimes, I say to God that ‘you saw my tribulations and you decided to bless me with this woman’. I was married before I met her but the marriage did not work out. But here I am today, living like somebody who is already in heaven. My wife’s name is Stella Marries Chinyere Okafor. Anywhere you meet her, call her, Chibest or First Class. I want to popularize that name so that people can see the stuff she’s made of.
She’s my first class in everything. She’s the best cook I have ever met. In fact, she came up with a recipe known as ‘Ibu Stew’, which is currently enjoying patronage in Enugu, Awka and now Lagos. The stew has a very unique aroma that will make you to ask for some more. That woman from Mbaise, Imo State is a very wonderful woman.
Marriage because she’s a good cook?
Not at all. When we started dating, I didn’t know she’s a very good cook. It was after she came into my life that I discovered the stuff she is made of. She’s my wife, I don’t sell shares. So, whatever testimonies I’m giving about her is real.
She’s the best woman I have ever met. If she provokes me by mistake, she cries throughout the day, and if I provoke and find it difficult to apologize to her, she will also cry throughout the day.
Why wouldn’t I give her the key to my heart? Do everything to please her!

Finding love again

Even if I die now, I will say ‘God, thank you for giving me the love of my life.’ I have practically experienced true love. But I’m not going to die any time soon. She has the mechanism to build new things in me.
My children always copy intelligent people and she’s one of them. I have grown-up children. My first son is married with kids; some have graduated from the university. She lacks nothing as my wife.

But because of the nature of my job as I’m not always around, she would say she lacks, sometimes, my presence.

How she came into my life:

"There is this orientation from my mum about having respect for women. That’s why each time I see any woman crying, I try to go close to her to find out why she’s crying. I met my wife crying. She was seated alone in her world and I demanded to know why she was crying.
Immediately, she showed me a text message from her ex- boyfriend which read, ‘Do not call this number again and do not come close to me in your life, this is the end. I’m fine, I’m satisfied with you. Do not come close to my house again. It’s over.’ I was like, ‘is that why you are crying…? There are one thousand and one young men that see you as a beautiful woman’. I tried to console her, but little did I know that I’m one of those men that would come for her".
