The pastor introduced Ms Jasyme during Sunday’s church service in Ilupeju, Lagos, confirming his new marriage following the collapse of his previous union with Oluwakemi Banjoko.

Mr Odukoya married Ms Banjoko in London in March 2013, and they have two children.

His new wife, Ms Jasyme, also previously married British-Nigerian record producer Mosadoluwa Adegboye, known as itsMOSA.

A designer and creative entrepreneur, Ms Jasyme collaborated with her former husband on various creative ventures over the years.

The circumstances surrounding her divorce from Mr Adegboye, including when the marriage ended, remain unclear.

“Search and found”

The unveiling followed a social media post that Mr Odukoya shared on Saturday, triggering speculation about his marital status.

The actor-turned-pastor posted a close-up image of two hands on Facebook.

One belonged to a woman who wore long green nails and a prominent diamond engagement ring, while the other showed his hand with a diamond-studded wedding band.

He accompanied the photograph with the caption, “To a new beginning.”

Speaking during the service, Mr Odukoya said he had done many things alone since taking up pastoral duties, a situation he noted contradicted the biblical teaching that it was not good for man to be alone.

He subsequently described Ms Jasyme as the missing rib he had searched for and found as he stood beside her on the altar.

He said: “The Bible says it’s not good to be alone. He said, I will find somebody suitable. Described as when Adam saw, he said, this is the flesh of my flesh. Bone of my bone: my left and right ribs. So, I was looking and searching. And I found. There are what we call Kairos moments. You say Kairos moments, when the Kairos moments.

“I’m sure some of you saw the post. Somebody, some people say, is it artwork? Is it, is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, no, no, it’s my wife. Let me introduce to you. For the first time, Pastor Mrs Odukoya. And your first lady, and my wife. Let me be a gentleman. Pastor Mrs Odukoya. Please bring out my wife, please.”

After Mr Odukoya introduced her to the congregation, Ms Jasyme expressed her delight at being in the church.

“Good morning, family. It’s my pleasure and honour to be here and stand alongside my husband. The senior pastor of the Fountain of Life Church.”

Father’s blessing

After presenting his wife, Mr Odukoya called on Tunde Bakare, the founder of Citadel Global Community Church (CGCC), to bless their union.

The cleric walked to the altar with his wife, Olayide, and offered prayers for the newlyweds.

He prayed that God would strengthen their marriage and make their household a centre for kingdom activities.

“In the name of Jesus. Father, we bless you in the name of the Lord for this day. We are not here to sweep anything under the carpet. All things must be done decently and in order. We give you glory and praise because you have begun a good work and you perfect it in the life of your son and his wife, in the mighty name of Jesus. Lord, when you show up, you don’t take sides.

“You take over. We ask that you take over the Fountain of Life Church from this day forward. Let it expand. Let it grow. I bless you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Your union will be a power union. Your family and household will be the centre of kingdom activities. What you abandon now is bound in heaven. What is set loose on earth is set loose in heaven”, he said.

Mr Bakare also prayed that their home would grow stronger each day and become a model for others to emulate rather than a cautionary tale.

“This home is built on the foundation of peace and stability and love of God. Nothing will desecrate it. Nothing will dismantle it. It will rise stronger and stronger daily, and it will become an example to follow, not a mistake to avoid.

“In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus mighty name, we pray. When Jesus Christ rose from the dead.”
