There is palpable excitement among fans and well-wishers as Anita Okoye, the ex-wife of singer Paul Okoye, returns to Nigeria after several years abroad. The mother of three shared the news on her Instagram page, posting a video capturing her journey from the plane to her arrival at Lagos Airport. She captioned the post, “Back to base.”
Fans and celebrities alike took to the comments section to celebrate her homecoming. Peter Okoye, her former husband, welcomed her warmly, writing, “Welcome, fam.” Others shared similar sentiments:

Anita Okoye, who holds a Master’s degree, is returning with her three children, Andre, Nadia, and Nathan. Her return marks a significant moment after her divorce from Paul Okoye in 2022. The divorce was granted by an Abuja High Court in Maitama in 2023 on grounds including cheating, separation, absentee fatherhood, fraud, and difficult marital experiences. As part of the settlement, she received a monthly allowance of $20,000 and several properties previously owned by Paul.
After their separation, Paul Okoye married model Ivy Ifeoma in May 2024 and welcomed a child with her. Although the former couple initially maintained an amicable relationship, they reportedly unfollowed each other on social media in August 2024 following Paul’s purchase of a second mansion in the United States for his then-pregnant wife.
Anita Okoye’s return to Nigeria has sparked excitement across social media, with many celebrating her focus on family and personal growth. Fans are particularly enthusiastic about seeing her reunited with her children in their home country, emphasizing her strength and resilience as a mother navigating life post-divorce.
