Never let a crisis go to waste! Nothing sums up the world of Amaka Chika-Mbonu like this opening admonishment.
Amaka could have chosen to wallow in self-pity and defeat after going through a harrowing matrimonial experience from the hand of a husband whose lecherous desires were so legendary and untamable that he fathered two kids from a woman who was married to his protégé and whose marriage certificate he signed as their pastor. That experience had the tendency to send Amaka to her early grave or tamper with her mental health; but no, she has chosen a novel way to vent her hurting by making it a healing balm to many homes and marriages.
Amaka, who is a Christian marriage counselor of fifteen years standing, has since recovered from the shock of it all, and has come out with her second book. Titled ‘49 Ways To Get Rid of The Other Woman (Without Getting Caught)’, there is every probability that it is inspired by her unpalatable experience.
This book seems to have a more direct reference to what had occurred to her or what she had experienced in the past, so might have informed the topic and title. Her other book which was launched last year is titled- How to get your wife to swing from the chandelier in a red negligee, a book said to be for couples, but written from biblical perspective.
Amaka, a supremely gorgeous and quite very stylish lady who once lived in a very sweet and near perfect world that was shattered by the unbelievable scandal, became a subject of public sympathy in 2010 when her husband, pastor, and former Managing Director of Citizens Bank and later Assurance Bank, Amaka Mbonu was caught in a grievously adulterous scandal that exposed through DNA test. The cheating woman, Doreen, happened to the wife of his protégé, Henry, both of whom looked up to Mbonu as their mentor and pastor.
