Fast rising actress, Sapphire Adaobi Obi does not pretend when it comes to baring her mind.
The actress many years ago, revealed how she was crushing on men of God, particularly Pastor Chris Okotie.
She hasn’t changed her mind since then as she recently reaffirmed her attraction to men of God declaring, however, that she owes nobody any apology for it. As she puts it, “that’s the way I am. Pastors come off as born again christians, who have a better understanding and attitude towards life. I wouldn’t say pastors treat women better than others, but going by what they preach, they have a better outlook towards life and living. Right now, I will go for any man that will give me peace and have fear of God. The reason I said I had a crush on pastor Chris Okotie is because of what he stands for and his charisma.”
How how she deals with heartbreaks and also breaks heart, Sapphire Obi said, “Yeah! Non-spiritual people have broken my heart several times. But pastors have a spiritual aura around them, and beyond being your romantic partner or boy friend, they also father you and bring you closer to God. I have been in a relationship not with a pastor, but a man of God for some time now. You can’t compare that relationship with any other relationship. This person means everything to you; he’s your soulmate, your partner, your lover boy and at the same time, he’s giving you something that everybody is looking for, that closeness to God which is so difficult for us. I must say Sapphire Obi as far as I am concerned is attracted to men of God. No apologies, that’s the way I am. Honestly, that’s what attracts me. Every man of God that I come close to is attracted to me. That’s something that has been with me right from childhood.”
As a single mother, Sapphire Obi says she finds peace with herself and child.
‘I am a single mother. I just decided to be single and have peace. It was one aspect of me I liked which I yielded to, and I want to exhaust. God can decide to blindfold you and you do what might not inspire you at the end of the day.”
On men flocking around her, the movie star said, “Men don’t flock around me in that manner. When you put out an aura that suggests ‘I am available’, that’s when they come for you. But I have a lot of men who extend hands of goodwill for my accomplishments. They see me as a strong and visionary woman. They reach out to me and they support me massively beyond wanting to sleep with me. Men are intelligent beings. When they come around a woman, what the woman gives to them is what they are ready to buy. If you are selling sex they will buy you cheaply, but if you are selling your brain, they will support you. There’s a higher energy and a lower energy. I am a higher-energy woman, I sell my brain. So, men don’t come around me for such a reason, instead they come for what I represent.”
