ReplyDeleteI don't understand.. Married jan 2010, baby came August 2010. Linda are u alleging they had a premature baby? #OkBye
ReplyDeleteEehh Linda what are you trying to insinuate by giving us her wedding date and delivery date. You want people to start saying that pastor was sleeping with her before their wedding. She had a premature baby I heard. I am not their church member but you got to be careful on how you tarnish people's images indirectly especially when they are servants of God. Just saying. Congrats to them jare. Linda if you like dont show my comment.
ReplyDeleteThe couple got married in January, n d woman gave birth to 1st baby on August the same year....whc invariably means the woman was pregnant before marriage....hmmmm...that 1 no be adultery, abeg sm1 help mi out
ReplyDeleteJanuary 2009, not January 2010. Please don't spoil my pastor's image o!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...Linda Linda na trouble u dey look for oh. why remind us of the day they got married and the birth date of their first child? fine i have calculated and my verdict is....he that is free of sin should cast the first stone.
ReplyDeletewish her a safe delivery and pray that the addition to the family brings them joy and blessings in Jesus' name. amen
Y not in naija?...kongrats all da same
ReplyDeleteDid she have a premature cos that's not even up to 9months! What happened to no sex b4 marriage.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you Mary, u will deliver like the Hebrew Women
ReplyDeleteMiss Lee,if i get u,d calculated date from d wedding date 2 d delivery date of their first child is questionable?well,there is always an exception.
ReplyDeletehmmm , i want to beleive the first baby is premature ...anyhow God knws best. wish her and all other pregnant women s safe delivery.. cos i want that too wen am pregnant..
ReplyDeleteLinda, I thought you would have apologised for your error. Is it that you're still trying to verify if they got married in January 2009 or 2010. That man is a man of God. Looks like you want God to punish you. Apologise now, or...
ReplyDeleteThe baby came has premature o haba. Ms Caro
ReplyDeleteLinda pls ignore @anon 11.05 & @eniola both are trying to distort the truth, Odukoya DID get Married Jan 2010, I've googled it,every single article dated Jan 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about blind sheep, is the man God? He is only human.
ReplyDelete@anon 11:05 why the insult??????? Why would God punish lindah? Get ur bloody facts right, sorry to burst ur bubble but it is a FACT that Odukoya married in Jan 2010. Think u own linda an apology, or maybe ur choose to hide behind the canopy of cyberspace, you Bloody twit. As for @Eniola ur equally uninformed.
ReplyDeleteLinda ure a troublemaker.ure helpin them caculate d months of pregnancy duration in marriage abi? Oya caculate everything they do behind closed doors. Can't wait for the day someone has enuff of ur nonsense and sues d hell out of u.mschew.if u like post,na u sabi.
ReplyDeleteAt least this pickin no be out of 'sin'
ReplyDelete*ajalahtravel*
Linda GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT
ReplyDeleteI'VE REALIZED THAT 99.9% OF YOUR FACTS ARE WRONG
BE SURE BEFORE YOU POST
We readers and those concerned need an apology for all lies you've published on your bog
ReplyDeleteLinda ,Don't mind this people joor....even their church members know I don't know why they r tryn 2 deceive themselves..
ReplyDeleteC'mmon,,Pastor is just a mere mortal like the rest of us!!
ReplyDeleteLinda you're full of mistakes! Correct all your mistakes. And yea we get it that she got pregnant again just after a couple of months she had her first one.
ReplyDeleteYou all saying he got married in 2009, i see youre members of his church and you support bad thing just cos he's your pastor even when you guys know the truth, google is your friend, use it, he got married in 2010, januar to be precise and the wife gave birth august which is 7months, he wasn't practising what he preached, now his wife is due in a few weeks time, wonder what time he has 4 prayers and fasting with all his straffing, naija pastors
ReplyDeleteOk some sex education and fertility education. when a woman conceives, the age of the baby is calculated from when she ovulated while her EDD is calculated from her last menstrual period before the missed one. SHe may have been ovulating on the day she wedded. Another thing you need to know: when a woman's life is at risk if she carries her baby to full term, she is induced and the baby is brought out to save the lives of mother and child. THis could be anytimefrom 6 - 9 months depending on likely complications e.g fibroid, a weak cervix or premaure labour. Where possible, an artificial plug is put around the cervix to depay childbirth. For all those saying it was premarital sex that made her have the baby in August, I pray you NEVER have any complications. why do you think many women die in naija duing child birth? most doctors will insist she carries to term at her own risk. I guess she had the baby is SA for many reasons. Let her berLinda, and allow her enjoy her marriage. Remember you are trusting God for children and a good husband someday.
ReplyDeletepeople r always ready to point fingers.havent u hrd of premature births? d baby ws premature n they hd 2 stay in d hospital for a long while.
ReplyDeletelinda first ur figures now dates...get some rest dear!!..and come back when u fully recharged!!..she bi u just land from kenya/SA!!
ReplyDeletewetin happen to USA??
ReplyDeleteNA WA O! HIM JUST DEY CHOP AM RUSH RUSH, BROS TAKE AM EASY O
ReplyDeleteYES O THEY HAD PREMATURE BABY CONFIRMED
ReplyDeletepls. people should be cautioned on how they make utterances on issues that have nothing to do with them. I belief this man already paid his wife's bride price which is the moment they received blessings from both families before January church wedding. The moment a woman's bride price is paid & accepted by her family they automatically become husband & wife.
ReplyDeleteLinda is correct with her dates. They wedded in January 2010 and the baby was not premature. It's time to stop telling lies for pastor and accept the facts.
ReplyDeletePastor slept with wife before wedding date. Period!
There's no place where the Bible says that a man who impregnants a single lady should not marry her. It's time Pentecostal churches stop writing their own version of what's allowed and what's not.
The Bible says that if a man sleeps with a maiden and they be found out, he must marry her. So, nothing spoil. The problem is that Odukoya and late wife furthered a doctrine contrary to scripture by disallowing marriages based on premarital sex.
But see how the world goes round, Odukoya found himself in that situatiom amd what did he do - organise a wedding and marry her.
God is the judge.
don't know why linda had to put d wedding date and delivery date without explaining that she had a premature baby.why are you trying to raise unneccesary eyebrow
ReplyDeletePurleeeeeeze! All you pastor worshippers stop it!!!! Linda got the date right! Pastor Odukoya did get married in Jan 2010, he's only human. Stop all this defensiveness and focus on ur own lives, if u wish to abstain before marriage decision is yours. Look onto the Almighty not purported MOG!
ReplyDeletehuman beings are so funny and quick to want to tarnish a pastor's image.. has anyone ever head of premature babies!! really get educated.. The baby was premature and all u guys that are speaking evil about pastor taiwo, i feel sorry for you. God will judge accordingly
ReplyDeleteAbeg free Linda Jor, she is a bloggers you have a problem with it go kill yourself. Why do you all act as if all these pastors are not humans too? Go away jor, all you Nigerian church fanatics and hypocrites
ReplyDeleteif you were there when the pastor slept with His wife plz raise your hands em em em like i see no one then plzzzzzzzz keep quiet ....now lets calculate ...they married jan 2010 that night pastor impregnates wife baby should be a year and4months ,meaning baby was about 3months when Pastor manifested again....
ReplyDeletePastor practice what you preach. That means he was knacking the thing before him put the ring.
ReplyDeleteam always amused when i see the way people fuss over their pastors and see-no-evil attitude! Christ had paid the ultimate price and given everyone the privilege to come boldly to the throne of God to obtain grace and mercy.....so we are all called to the royal priesthood.
ReplyDeleteFor all these our pastors to be compared to the prophets of old, is like an insult! The prophets of old in bible, KNEW how to fast, pray and intercede for their people for God to have mercy and perform miracles....can that be said of our-so-called pastors of nowadays?So people should stop such sayings of not touching my anointed!We are all anointed if you believe and can claim it!
No doubt, they had sex before marriage! It was no PREMATURE baby! The issue is not to sin, but to deny you have sinned, that angers God the most! He said, confess your sins, and i would be willingly and just to forgive you!
Age is not on her side, hence, the rush to have all her children... indeed what time do the man of God have to spend with his wife, if he is not flesh and blood like every mortal man on earth who has desires huh? We should stop deceiving ourselves and idolizing our pastors and see them as HUMAN BEINGS THAT ARE NOT ABOVE MISTAKES!
wish her a safe delivery.
now,lets stop all these mudslinging and be a little scientific in this argument....if they got married in jan and baby comot for august,means that baby was born around 28weeks after the couples wedding,right?ok....make we carry go,the age of viability of a fetus in naija is exactly around 28weeks,meaning a child born in any naija hospital,even with top notch management does not stand a good chance of survival before that age...a child born so preterm would definitely be on admission in hospital for a while on admission,cos a 28weeker cannot suck breast,would have some breathing problems(lungs dont mature till 32-34weeks),and would therefore not be discharged home with mummy after delivery......lailai!me i no sabi o,but was pastors baby discharged with his wife after delivery?if baby was actually preterm,we go know cos he would av been on admission for a while in some hosp,so for those who know dem well well,u fit tell us,if d baby went home with mummy immediately after delivery,then dat one mean say dem surely don straf well well before dem marry..........my 2 pence...
ReplyDeleteeven if he had premarital sex an asked God for forgiveness, does it make him any less a saint?
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why we place expectations on people we do not attempt to attain ourselves.
Pre marital sex is a sin but there is forgiveness in God even for pastors.
Pastors are men of God but still men.
Each and every one of them sins.No exception.
The mercy and grace of God covers us all.
I wonder why church members place them on pedestals that set them apart from mortals.
linda did you have to write the day of the wedding and when the baby was born?
ReplyDeleteyou insinuate what you don't know about. what if the baby was really premature? what have you then done?
She had prematured delivery for the first child.Linda get facts right before publishing.God bless.
ReplyDeleteWell, thank God.
ReplyDeleteyou are just a vile rumour monger! I only just started reading your blog but I definitely won't be back after your malicious insinuations. People like u are just pathetic, Linda. To think this is your means of livelihood? Gossip? SMH. Pathetic, Linda!
ReplyDeleteLet's see if you can withstand criticism and will post this.
Linda Ikeji I come to your blog to get news but I see you do not bother to sieve the truth from lies and this distorts your credibility...greatly!Blogging is to give news and not spread rumours, especially unfounded ones.
ReplyDeleteYes he got married in January 2010 and the baby came in August 2010 as well. I do know also, for a fact, that the baby was premature, with only God saving both the lives of the baby and his mother. If you want to do a proper research, get the name of the hospital in SA where the child was born and confirm! And to answer someone's enquiry, the baby was not discharged immediately, because obviously it was premature!
Yes she is pregnant again and by God's grace will deliver shortly. But if I may ask is there any wrong in having a 1yr + spacing between your children? After all it happens to other couples and they do not face this type of cynical scrutiny.
I worship at Fountain of Life and I will add that doesn't make me deluded. Get your facts right Linda.
Linda....
ReplyDeleteI KNOW YOU DID THIS DATES ON PURPOSE...to cause a uproar...well hope you are enjoying it...
I just want to say that its none of our business about these people...it is God alone that knows and HE alone has the right to pass judgement.
May God bless you all
hahaha..this ppl are funny o. I've just realised there a lot of brainwashed Nigerians out there (maka why naw).Kryssol, sorry to burst your hot air bubble, Linda owes you no apology whatsoever, its her blog for Christ sake. if u want correct information u can go and watch CNN. premature or no premature, there is a possibility they had IT before marriage.
ReplyDeleteAlright. I've confirmed it. It was 2010, but have you read his comment on his wife's early delivery? You can google it.
ReplyDelete...Say what you like,I believe it was just a premature delivery and not premarital sex as insinuated by you people. Any woman can have a premature delivery under some given conditions, so why the fuss about his case??????????
He might be human, but I strongly believe it couldn't have been premarital sex. You can say what you like, after all, na you get your mouth...
Nigerians like to worship their pastors too much. Its becoming pathetic! The reason he is facing so much scrutiny is bacause apparently, Pastor Odukoya and his late wife would not agree to marry women who were already pregnant for their soon-to-be husbands even if the woman was only a few weeks pregnant. Hence, people are now analyzing and scutinizing Odukoya because as a pastor, one ought to practice what one preaches.
ReplyDeleteYou MUST lead by example or else you are not worth leading His (Christ) flock. Jesus lead by example and so pastors ought to do the same. You his church members can cry bloody murder all you want at Linda. You religious hypocrites are welcome to leave the blog. You will not be missed.
Pastors are mere mortals who sin just like the rest of us. Get that into your thick skulls and stop worshipping them. They cannot get your soul into heaven. Kapish?
Linda you are FULL OF SHIT, if all these pastors you so freely insulting should curse i pity u, im sure you want to have a husband n children? hmm what a man sows TRUSTTTTTT he shall reap!!! Be careful
ReplyDeleteand all you stupid ppl commenting that don;t know jack you are bigger idiots
The reason why many of you Nigerians don’t progress and will never progress is because you are afraid of asking the kinds of question Linda is not afraid to ask. Free the girl, she put the dates up so we as civilized people will question the acts of the man of God. Where in the bible does it say we should not question our people in authority? Looser, please free Linda jor.
ReplyDeleteLinda Carry go jor! wather the pikin na premature or no be premature she got us asking and that is what we as young Nigerians should do. Nor follow churches like Zombie as Fela talk.
Well,,i dont see anything wrong in Linda's information and her dates are very correct,,,,,,,for those of u who worship in Fountain of life or probably close to the family,,it isnt a bad idea that u also gave more information(that most people dont know) to LIB readers about the child being a premature and for those who tongue lashed and accused the Pastor of engaging in pre-marital sex,,,it is expected of u too cos followers feel bad when the people they look up to fall below expectations but the truth is MEN OF GOD are firstly MEN before they became OF GOD.......
ReplyDeleteAnnon Dec 7 11:05am.......God will rather punish u for trying to manipulate the dates......is there anything u are trying to conceal here??
Annon Dec 7 1:57pm..........i got married on the 23rd of a month that has 30days in it,,,,and i still menstruated 29th of that sme month till the 1st of the following month(4 days)....and i had my baby exactly 9months and 5days after the wedding.......even if she was ovulating on her wedding day,,,she still has to carry her pregnancy for 9mths,,,,except if the baby was premature(which i dont know)or if the mother had medical conditions beyond control and was arranged for induction(which i dont know too)........(just trying to analyze ur comments)
Whichever wayz,,,our God is merciful,,if they sinned am sure they would have traced their steps back to God.........Wishing her a very safe delivery!!
All of you saying the baby was premature and God saved the life of the mother and baby, since it was a high risk pregnancy like you all want us to believe, why is she due again barley 1 yr after the premature baby? Please stop seeling this lies cos sensible nigerians that are not brainwashed by this so called multi millionares business men that do church business are'nt buying this blatant lies, mchteeeeeew......... Premature my big, fat ass
ReplyDeleteprobably married her bcos she was pregnant..
ReplyDeleteAfter Reading u all's comments I had to go back to read linda's write up AGAIN.. And I'm still surprised, coz no where in dz article did Linda say,' they Had Pre marital sex' she jus stated when they got married and when d child was born.. So my question to u voltrons (Defenders of d universe) Is dere any where in this write up Linda said nytn concerning Pre marital sex? Yes, No?? Okk Good, Nw dt we've cleared dat, Why r u crying more dan d bereaved?? Even if dey did v premarital sex which am nt saying they did, R u telling me Pastor Odukoya isn't human or Above committing sin? Yes, No?? D only advise I v to u Votrons is dt No man s above Sin.. And wateva he did is Between hm,hs wife and God! I'm sure he doesn't need voltrons to defend hm.. On that Note.. Merci beacoup :* :* Aunty Linda j'adore tu
ReplyDeleteI ve read the comments, something I hardly do and because it involves my pastor, I will add something.if you ve a sister who was accused of something in the public, u will defend her then admonish her wen the accusers are gone.we respect pastors because that's what God wants us to do.they are not above sin, but we have to believe in them just as we believe in God.that said, pastor taiwo is a wonderful person, having premarital sex, is something I don't see him doing.if he could wait 4yrs and only marry when his children insisted he marry, then wat is a couple of years.
ReplyDeletethey are only deceiving themselves and their congregation but not God because HE can never be mocked!
ReplyDeleteThe folks commenting pearly do not understand the cycle of pregnancy. Assume her lmp was dec 14, if she got married jan1, she would likely be ovulating and could get pregnant. 40 was of pregnancy would be counted from dec 14 , making her due date sep19. Her baby came aug 27 so her child was likely born at 37 weeks. 37 wks is considered full term although not the complete 40 wks usually does not require hospitalisation.
ReplyDeleteWhat is your please forget these rumor and what is fucking business with that? Who among you has no sins should first cast first against him; stupid people...?
