Jimmy Odukoya, a son of Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, who just lost his wife Nomthi to cancer, has described him as a man of uncommon courage and faith.
Odukoya had, some 10 years ago, lost his first wife, Bimbo, who died in a plane crash.
Jimmy was particularly moved on Sunday when he saw his father mount the pupil today Sunday, days after Nomthi passed away.
In a post in which he appreciates the dad, he says, ”I sit here and marvel at the man my father @pastortaiwo is. He lost his wife @pastornomthi on Tuesday; (2nd wife he would loose to death ) and here he is worshipping on stage in church on Sunday, leading the church to worship. What manner of man is this? His strength in the midst of pain; his Courage in the face of fear; his Faith in a sea of doubt; his Perseverance through disappointment; hiswWisdom amidst chaos; His Dedication beyond personal loss; His Unwavering Love for God bypassing his present reality are what legends are made of! The battles he has fought would break a lesser man.
I am FULLY PERSUADED that the very breath of God flows through him and that is what continues to strengthen him. Ah Pastor Taiwo Odukoya! NA MAN YOU BE!!! What an honour to come from your loins and carry your last name! What a privilege to be your son! What an advantage to have your DNA !! To a General in God’s Army; Your battle scars sing of your victories! I salute you Sir! No son could have a better Father!!”
