Jimmy Odukoya Speaks On Controversial Lifestyle

Published

Jimmy Odukoya, the newly appointed lead pastor of the Fountain of Life Church, has addressed controversies trailing his appearance as a clergyman.

 

Nigeria Updates recalls that the announcement of Jimmy as the lead pastor after his father’s death, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, generated controversy on social media, with many critics questioning his dreads, tattoos and movie roles.

 

Speaking during an interview with BBC News Pidgin, Jimmy stated that he has scriptural backing for his appearance, adding that people should avoid using their opinions to judge him.

 

He said, “God has called me into this new season of my life. All my focus is on the church. This new position is a big responsibility. As for my dreads, most people don’t know I can back up everything I do with scripture.

 

“As a pastor, I can tell you that God told Samson in the Bible not to cut his hair, that means long hair is never a bad thing. If you also say the pastor is keeping a beard, I can tell you that the Bible says that when Jesus was tortured, they pulled hair from his face.

 

“If you say I am putting on earrings, I can tell you that when the children of Israel left Egypt and wanted to make a golden calf, they collected jewelry, earrings and rings from their sons and daughters.

 

“You should not use your personal opinion to judge me. A personal opinion is different from saying something is sinful. Anybody can do what they want.

 

“In 2009, I was ordained as a minister and became a pastor in 2012. I was the lead pastor of the youth church until 2021.”

A supposed fan of former Big Brother Naija Housemate, Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, has released a statement after a video of the reality TV star removing his hand from her waist went viral.

In the video making round on Social media, saw the man posed for a photograph with the reality TV star and placed his hand round her waist while waiting for the picture to be taken.

Tacha promptly removed the man’s hand and shared the video via her X page with the caption, “I just couldn’t, lol.”

Amidst the buzz the video created online, in a statement shared on Tuesday, the man said Tacha was the one who asked him for the photo backstage, and he had no idea it was being filmed.

He said Tacha didn’t express concern when he held her, and sharing the video online seemed like an attention-seeking move.

The man argued that Tacha’s action had affected his mental health, demanding she apologise publicly for the impact of her actions on his reputation.

He wrote, “Hello, everyone! I’d like to address a viral video featuring Tacha and I. I want to clarify that I was unaware of the video; she asked for a quick photo backstage, and I obliged as I was assisting as a stage manager for the said show. If she had any concerns, she didn’t express them. It seems like an attention-seeking move, explaining my delayed response. I’ve received calls and faced defation from various sources, including brands, individuals, and even at my workplace. Tacha, I hope you understand the gravity of this situation on my mental well-being and the risk to my image. A public apology for the impact on my reputation would be appreciated. I look forward to your prompt response.”
