Jimmy Odukoya is the first son of late Fountain of
Life pastor, Bimbo Odukoya. He married Kemi Sade Banjoko this past Saturday in
the UK...this is what the love birds had to say about each other and how they met.
Jimmy.
"I went to the same secondary school with Kemi's cousin
and she came for her cousin's introduction. I hadn't seen her cousin for a while
so we agreed to hook up and catch up at Ooh la la in GRA Ikeja. I got out
of my car and she got out of hers and I was like, 'who's that?' My friend said
that's my cousin. This was in 2011. We started chatting and she said she has
been single for four years and hasn't found what she's looking for. We exchanged
numbers and started talking. She's very beautiful inside and outside. She's
adventurous, daring and outgoing. Her willingness to learn and her love for God
endeared me. The women I dated in the past, I tell them: 'Listen, I am a pastor.
There are certain things you can't wear, certain places you can't go, certain
things you can't say. It's never easy dating a pastor, especially where they are
watching you to see how they can disqualify you. So when we talked about it and
she said she is taking it seriously and putting all effort to make it work. I
decided then to marry her. I proposed to her in March 2012. Kemi checks. If I
have a list of she surpasses the list of women I have seen. She doesn't hold on
to things. If she's wrong, she's quick to apologize. I love her heart for
people. With her, you're not worried about infidelity, she's not that kind of a
person. I'm really lucky!
Kemi...
I live in the UK and I was actually
in Nigeria on holiday when we met in 2011. The first thing that struck about
Jimmy is that he's very kind. And everyone he introduced me to said he's very
kind and it radiates from him. We talked for hours, day and night for like three
straight days. And in all that time he didn't tell me he was a pastor. When he
eventually told me, I was silent. I think it's a big role but the way I see it,
it's like two people meeting and falling in love and we are going to get married
and we should go with the flow. The best part of it all is that we are friends.
I feel very safe with him. He is sincere, caring, giving, handsome and
wonderful. I always prayed for a happy marriage and God just answered my prayer.
