Jimmy Odukoya, Nigerian actor and son of clergyman, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, has taken to social media to celebrate his father who led a worship session in church this morning barely 48 hours after losing his wife, Nomthi.

In Jimmy Odukoya’s words, “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; His Wisdom 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 !! #PastorTaiwo #Legend #Godsgeneral #proudestson #Odukoya”

Reacting to Pastor Taiwo‘s unusual courage, the immediate past Chairman of First Bank, Ibukun Awosika said “I read the below tribute, written by Jimmy Odukoya to my Pastor , who is his father. I truly doff my hat to the man that Pastor Taiwo Odukoya is. I was in the services today and truly marveled at his strength in the face of adversity. His total submission to God and dedication to his call. He has been my pastor for over 30years. There isn’t a more Honourable man of God!”
