Jimmy Odukoya, the son of Bimbo and Taiwo Odukoya, has been named the senior pastor of the Fountain of Life Church.

The announcement was made during the church service on Sunday.

Rotimi Okpaise, a pastor, told the congregation that the late Taiwo Odukoya had confided in the board of trustees (BoT) members about his succession plan before his death.

Okpaise said that the BoT had unanimously elected Jimmy as the senior pastor and chairperson of the board.

Jimmy is a Nollywood actor and musician. He played one of the lead roles — Oba Ade—iin Netflix’s “Woman King” movie. He has also been featured in movies like “Lifting the Veil”, “I am Nazzy”, and “Oga Pastor”, among others.

Aside from acting, he is also a motivational speaker.

Jimmy’s father, Taiwo Odukoya, the founder of the Fountain of Life Church, died in August 2023 at the age of 67. His mother, Bimbo, died in a plane crash in 2005.

Jimmy’s installation as the senior pastor of the Fountain of Life Church will take place on Saturday, September 30, 2023.

nor be family business...

Is it not God that calls someone into the altar?Is he even a pastor?

One reason I decided to follow my God without going to church. When did the pulpit become a family inheritance?

It is

The church is his father's business. Nigeria is blessed with so many gullible people. Open your own church for your children to inherit. Church is the only industry that is working in Nigeria.

African Churches and Business crumbles after the death of their founders because there is no clear line of succession

Worldly things

New CEO has emerged

Catholic to the world jare

Sad times for faith

Wow

Family business! Very bad.
God might have called the father but not the son.
I don't think I've read such a thing in the Bible apart from kingship. Ever at that,God can remove the kingship from one family to another, depending on certain circumstances.
Prophets Moses Elijah,Elisha, Isaiah, Jeremiah,etc, might have had sons but none of them replaced their fathers as a prophets. This one na be carnality,abeg
