Anita Okoye has revealed that she was somewhat triggered with old wounds reopening after watching the Nollywood film, ‘The Wait’.

The ex-wife of singer Paul Okoye and mother of three, got emotional as she confessed to being on a rollercoaster of emotions, during the course of the film.

Anita Okoye stated the story mirrored her own life experiences, as she waited for a number of years before welcoming another child.

She shared that she suffered 4 miscarriages after she birthed her first son, Andre, before birthing her twins, Nadia and Nathan and concluded with saying she’s indeed a living testimony.

“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 #The 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!!”.


The wait is a 2021 Nigerian faith-based movie about about various people waiting on different things to happen in their lives.
