The Winlos Biography
The Winlos comprises of two besties, Pastor Ohis Ojeikere and Pastor Anwinli. They use to be a member of their church’s drama group. They regarded each other as brothers and sisters in Christ at the time.
They both had their individual taste of a life partner. According to him, he prayed and fasted for God to give him someone who has the fear of God, visionary, chubby, fair and loving. And on the other hand, she also prayed earnestly for a tall, handsome born again brother, one with vision and money.
They both saw the opposite in themselves so they never even thought of dating.
According to their testimony, Anwinli wasn’t his ideal kind of woman physically because he wanted some “obvious” things in a woman. While Ohis looked too black for her, with these big black lips of his that made him look like a smoker.
Ohis also wasn’t fluent in English at the time—though he’s improved greatly since then, and was shy to speak in public.
He went into relationships with women who had the physical “shape” that he wanted, while Anwinli did so with the suitors who came her way, which didn’t quite work out as something was lacking in them all.
However, as time passes, it became clear to them that they have something more in common. Today, we are celebrating a couple whose vision has changed the lives of men for good.
