Media personality Femi Brown Afolabi has challenged Jimmy Odukoya, the senior pastor of the Fountain of Life Church (TFOLC), several days after Odukoya unveiled his new partner, Pastor Mo Jasmine.
Femi, the husband of television personality and host Morayo Afolabi Brown, raised spiritual concerns about what he described as a recurring family pattern following Pastor Jimmy Odukoya’s remarriage.
Speaking during a podcast conversation with Morayo, Brown suggested that Jimmy must have heard from God before leaving his first wife.
However, Morayo challenged his assertion, saying, “He didn’t throw her away now. We don’t know. You can’t assume she was thrown away. You can’t say what we don’t know.”
Responding, Brown insisted that questions surrounding the end of Jimmy’s first marriage would continue to linger.
“You see that question, Morayo, as the Lord liveth, that question will continue to linger. That is why did you leave the first wife? That is a question that can never go away until it is answered because it forms the foundation for a lot of people to make decisions personal to them,” he said.
He further argued that there was a bigger spiritual issue involving what he described as a pattern of multiple marriages across two generations of Jimmy’s family.
Referencing Jimmy’s father, who married twice after the death of his first wife, Brown said the pattern had continued with Jimmy, who has also married twice.
He explained, “Look, Jimmy has half-brothers. You know that. The descendant of Numti and the descendant of Bimbo. Now Jimmy’s second generation. There is now the descendant of Kemi and now the descendant of Jasmine, second generation of halves, two marriages from the dad, two marriages by the son. Morayo, there is a bigger spiritual issue that needs to be addressed.”
He added that the situation might not have been intentional on the part of the family members involved.
“It may not be their fault. The dad did not wish to have two wives; unfortunately, one wife died. He contracted two marriages in his lifetime. Jimmy, too, has contracted two marriages. When exactly will it end?” he asked.
