Popular Lagos clothier, the lady behind the Every Woman label, Debbie Ogunjobi, is now a married woman. The mother of two secretly wed a Lagos pastor and business man, Jide Ojo, in December 2011. Only a few family and friends even know she is married. Pastor Ojo lost his wife in July 2011 and started dating Debby soon after. Happy married life to her.
I never knew she was single all this while. I enjoy her column Moment to Moment on Sunday vanguard Newspaper.

ReplyDeleteJudge not so u'll nt b judged
DeleteEyahh...u will run out of panadol soon,d way u worry abt oda pple's life!
DeleteAhnahn!! Who are u? D family lawyer?!
DeleteWhy would a pastor want a secret wedding?
ReplyDeleteAm never the type that gives negative comment , but they should have at least waited a year now. This men sha! Anyway happy married life to them
DeleteAs far as I'm concerned, dis is just sad! To those who think its ok, I'm sure u're not married. Any married woman who has put love, time and effort into her marriage and dies deserves to be respectfully mourned for a year at least! Haba! He couldn't wait to close dat chapter of his life?? Haba! Its just disrespectful to d dead and her family as far as I'm concerned.
DeleteVery true.
DeleteThese guys shd drop all these "pastor" toga stuff.
Every graduate thesew days be pastor.
For debbie...ummmgh
Puriful woman, i love dis lady die. Congrats 2 her n wish d blessings of marriage.
ReplyDeleteWow...july-Dec..lips are sealed. Congrats to d both σƑ em
ReplyDeleteArent husbands expected to mourn their wives anymore? cos i knw women mourn for a whole year before they can even look like themselves again not to talk of dating or re-marrying. Not up to a yr he lost his wife, he is married already. If any woman kills herself cos of a man...this is what will happen!
ReplyDeletewondering how Dr olumide ---- her shld i say ex husband would be feeling now ? And he really loved her ooooh always talking about her when consulting na my Dr. But the two of you never made any effort to make it work , hope it was not funmi that facilitated his one again ? abi na COD connection ? oooh well congrats babes and trusting this time around you would have found true love . Dr olumide well what can i say like you no get head for women LOL LOL .
ReplyDeleteha! so soon after? hmmmm! #suspect
ReplyDeletei tot she was married to a doctor? whatever happened between them ?!
ReplyDeletePastors of this days, the pastor can't even respect his wife for a year. Something has been going on before the wife died.
ReplyDeleteAbeg! This is too suspect jor. Barely 6months after ur wife dies, you not only date but marry another woman?!
ReplyDeleteThese two were definitely dating while the woman was alive.
Let God be the judge...
anon 11.24, why should dey wait for a year?
ReplyDeleteI would ask the same question if it is a widow.
What is so disgusting that a man chose to marry a single woman after his wife died?
run off with your lousy respect for him.
There are loads of pentecostal and orthodox pastors screwing outside their homes all around this country.
This one found a woman soon after his wife died and decided to marry her and you are there typing crap.
If while dating her for your 1 year period he ended up sleeping with her, people like you would still call him disgusting.
What exactly do you want?
Do you think he is an angel or assistant God?
Some of you have very warped opinions of pastors.
They are men,after all is said and done.
get a grip!!
It should take a little over 6mths to even begin to come to grips with the death of a loved one.pity u comment this way.talkless of moving on.
DeleteHw do u knw dey wr nt slpng 2gda?. 'DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE'. Mcheew. If d late wf wr ur sis, ur type wldve clld 4 d castratn of Mr pastor. Fake xtian.
DeleteU get a grip!
DeleteThe fact that u want to support him does not mean you should bring all the worse case scenarios to play!!!
I don't want to comment on this matter cos I can't be God's advocate,the Lord fights HIS own battles.so as humans, all we are left with is moral standards and common sense and if all these stories are true,then owing to the society and morals,they should have waited for a while!
women! we are are own worst enemies .......in what book is it stated that a person must wait 1yr?
ReplyDeletehe's a pastor and possibly doesnt want to fornicate .....that was how you they almost killed jumobi with tongues wagging back then but several years on with RMD and they are still waxing strong ....odikegwu
Some people meet who they want to marry, take a decision and get married. Not everyone believes in 'dating', 'seeing', or 'courtship'.
ReplyDeleteWho told you pastor Ojo is a business man? Please confirm that part of the story...
ReplyDeleteNa wa o. Congrats to them. Advice to single and married women. Neva kill or frustrate yourself over a man. If you get hypertension and die, trust me, d man will move on and marry another woman even before your bodi go don for ground. #just saying#. Congrats Pastor and Mrs, i wish u a happy married life.
ReplyDeleteAll of you defending the man, pls think carefully. His late wife lived with him, shared her body and soul with him throughout their marriage, cant he mourn her a bit before rushing into another marriage? At least do a one year remembrance, and then you can re-marry. Is he so sex starved that he must marry the next available person? Just because something is technically right doesnt make it proper. I just hope the he and his late wife did not have kids. And to think he is a pastor! I dont wish them anything. I wish his deceased wife eternal repose.
ReplyDeleteNot all things that are right are expedient....even d bible says he can remarry but its way too soon......n how come no one is talkin abt debbie's ex husband? Even if pst ojo is allowed to remarry biblically, for the fact that debbie's ex husband is still alive, dat makes it wrong.....I know its an uncommon opinion but that's wat d bible says. God doesn't have double standards. If u support remarrying so early cos ur wife is deceased, u must also apply dat same biblical principle dat says u cannot marry someone whose ex spouse is still alive....d prob is we only quote d part of d bible dat favours us and we r quick to discard d part that doesn't.
DeleteSeconded!!!
DeleteI particularly like this part " just because something is technically right doesn't make it proper"
people shouldnt lose sight that abstaining from dating or any form of sexual relationship for a period of time when your spouse dies is a sign of respect. mourning that person shows respect even if u never loved that person.
ReplyDeleteno wonder the wedding was held secretly,cos he probably knew it wasnt right to get hooked so soon,anyhow wish u all d best in ur marriage ooh...hmmmmn
ReplyDeletePls I'm with u anon 5.01am...its just disgustn! Ki lo de? 6 months! Were they seeing each oda before she died? Or they had been eyeing each oda secretly? O ga o!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm!!! its things like this that makes my detective sense start ticking...was the late wife sick? how did she die? was an autopsy done? what was the result? You know, the late wife's family should ask for the body to be exhumed. Something is not right here. Being a Pastor, divorce would not have been a good option. 6 MONTHS??????? Something is very wrong. Even victor Ikpeba knew to wait 11 years.
ReplyDeleteDidn't he even mourn his late wife? June to december? I am highly amazed. Were dey dating b4 d wife died?
ReplyDeleteI'm not one to judge people but 6 months is wayyyyyy too soon to get over a dead spouse! C'mon! He shlda shown the woman some respect abeg!
ReplyDeleteAre you trying to say that they started dating after the wife died? Please be real, something was definitely going on between them before Pastor (Mrs) died.
Why else would they marry secretly? I've always liked debbie but this one no pure abeg....
Did she marry the Doctor she had kids with? I thought there was a legal issue stopping them from marrying?
ReplyDeleteThe Pastor may have seen her, liked her and decided to marry her on the spur like someone alluded to above.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteWow, I guess his other wife meant a whole lot to him,smh,what makes the new lady think she will mean much more to him if she happens to 'go' first? Well, I guess their vows said I promise to love you till the day that you die and not a day more...darn!!!
ReplyDeletePple pls make una take am easy.
ReplyDeleteThese days u dnt need to date for years before u marry,my cousin married his wife just 2wks after meeting her, likewise a fried who married the husband just 2mnths after meeting. So make una keep quiet!
just shows what an African can do,the woman dare not try it..If the case was the reverse now,it will be said that the woman killed her husband because of the new man.Infact,her in-laws will come and carry the kids! Whatever the reason,the Pastor for wait small na!Even if he is a sex-starved,horny,high on libido he-man,haba,will a few months more have killed him?
ReplyDeleteMen!!! the man couldnt even mourn his wife for a year!!
ReplyDeleteAs usual.....My fellow Nigerians are so quick to judge. SMH
ReplyDeleteanon 2:01, i hope you are not related tot he other anon that i addressed earlier?
ReplyDeleteBeing a pastor has nothing to do with it.
So in your mind, 1 year is enough to mourn his wife that shared everything with him?
if he mourns him for the rest of this life, it would never be enough and such mourning never ends.That he has remarried does not mean that he has stopped mourning his wife.
Like i said earlier,i will say the same if it was a widow.
We need to stop putting unnecessary crosses on the path of others.
If na woman do this kin thing,all hell would be let loose! I tell women not to kill themselves over men,they are totally not worth it. Hos over bros anytime.
ReplyDeleteWhat women's eyes will see in this world. How can a woman marry a widower of six months. Even of the church asks Debbie to marry the pastor in Dec, couldn't she have told them to hold on for a few more months. Bible says "we are letters written for people to read". What will converts, unbelievers and brethren read about her. Is she Holy Spirit the comforter. I am very reluctant to write all these cos I really would want to respect the memory of the late woman. But. I will not counsel any lady to do what Debby's Ogunjobi did. She looked to me like a hustler, like a desperate woman who is scared of someone else snatching the guy from her. Where is God in all these. Fine! The bible says "till death do us part" but for goodness sake marriage is not all about sex. What about companionship, relationship, mutual respect, the children (if any) that have been built over the years of marriage. Would anyone throw all that away in six months?How are we supposed to preach the gospel of peace to a violent world? How are we to bring the message of hope to a hopeless people. You cannot give what you don't have. If it was right, it should have been done openly. There is no secrecy in God. Let us go back to the scripture. We are to be good ambassadors of Christ. I am not a judge, I cannot judge anyone. I definitely dont know why the Pastor did what he did, and until he tell us, we will keep speculating. I have just poured my heart out. I apologize for any wrong choice of words. Got to run now.
ReplyDeleteGOOD TALK VALERIE @1.30 PM LADIES IF U DIE COS OF A MAN SORRY 4 U LIFE CONTINUES WITH THE NEXT PERSON IT MIGHT BE UR BEST FRIEND OR EVEN UR SISTER!!
ReplyDeletei an a pastors wife in living in spain,and to think of my involvement in his ministry both in fasting and prayers and encouragement that everything work out well and that he gets to the zenith of his calling,i will feel very hurt,if after only 6 months of my death,he gets a replacement,it means he never really loved or appreciated me while i was alive,maybe he had a cat and dog relationship with his late wife and he wanted quickly to forget that experience,well,what is done is done at least it is legal,who are we to judge anothers man servant,to his father(GOD)he stands or he falls,happy married life to the two of them,hope she will help him fulfil and define his ministerial calling and not quench it.
ReplyDeletePASTORS AND WOMEN , RCCG PASTORS WOULD NEVER MOURN NA WAH OOOOH ORISHRISHI DEY HAPPEN DIR YET THEY SAY THAT'S THE PLACE TO BE AAAABEEEG EEEH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLet d torii begin...
ReplyDeleteAnonymous that attends "king's Court" isnt it a shame u had to dragged your church into this? And I hope you know the head pastor and entire pastorate was consulted before they remarried! And is Debbie a disgrace because she married someone she cares about??? Don't let satan use you to cause more division in the church.
ReplyDeleteAunty Linda, when will you start getting your facts right? The late wife died in May and not July! It wasn't a secret, it was a quiet, low key ceremony! Please show some courtesy next time by not putting up names...conceal the identities of those involved even if it is for the sake of their families as some people do not want to be in public eye. And also don't only tell one side of the story, do your investigations thoroughly snd properly because lots of people read your blog and I'm sure yo don't intentionally mean to misinform people.
All of you fighting whether or not they should have married; tell me when you turned to God's assistants, fighting for God. When will you supposed self righteous people ever stop? When will you remove the log in your eyes so you will see clearly to remove the speck in your brother's eye? Let he who is without sin be the first to cast a stone! Some of you have very rotten skeletons in your cupboards and you have the nerve to judge someone else! Whatever happened to "touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm"
Because he remarried now, he's not worthy to be a pastor anymore???
Truth be told, Pastor Ojo and his wife were happily married until her death! Their children had to leave everything to stay home with their father in the days that followed because the man was a complete shadow of his joyful self. Their only daughter had to relocate back home to take care of her father! Do you expect her to stay home with him for the rest of her life? Won' t she marry someday?
The children are not against it and they prayed about it with their dad and if God has given them the go ahead, what is your own? The same happened when Pastor Taiwo remarried after PBO's death, same old story when Pastor Kumuyi also remarried. You people said all sorts then. When Pastor Ituah and Pastor Chris Okotie remarried nko? You people said they should step down because their ex-wives weren't dead even though this men had been divorced before thier ordinations! You people will always talk because you are never satisfied! Pastors are also humans like us and they have emotions and need support and companionship like we do! What you fail to understand is that pastors need companions to keep the home front while they are busy on the field!
Let us all think for a few moments...how would we feel if we were children to Debbie or the Pastor? Would we appreciate the comments written? What if it were the couple? Are we sure we won't do worse? Why are we always so quick to judge and criticize? Isn't wiser to keep shut especially when you dont know anything about the people involved? Isn't it better to offer prayers rather than slander this people?
And whether the timing was right or wrong is up to God to decide! People please, let God judge the matter HIMSELF!!!
Madam Linda, please post my comment! thank you!
Goddamn 6 months..even dudes mourn their Girlfriends pass this Pastor...Na wa o!!..another one that lost his wife!!..
ReplyDeleteTell me sometin, six months. Wen did they meet for d relatioship to ve blossom to marriage? Wat of debbie first husband. Or are we allowed to remarry wen the first husband is alive even though separated?
ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteI happen to know the Ojo family well. The late Remi Ojo was a big sister figure to Debbie and they were very close. Debbie had apparently been dating the husband well before the wife' s death. Debbie was a member of Pastor Jide Ojo's redeemed parish before Remi Ojo's death. After his wife's death in May he wanted to marry Debbie in August 2011. The members of the church showed their disapproval about Pastor Ojo's not waiting a year after his wife's death to remarry. As a result Debbie and Pastor Ojo left the church to they could get married in Dec 2011. It makes one wonder what REALLY caused the woman's death.
But na wah for these so-called "men of God" O.na so Kumuyi too go re-marry sharp sharp!And pls nobody shld even come up with any yeye theory of him not wanting to commit fornication!They could have been sleeping with each other for all I care b4 they got married.Nothing stopped d guy from "holding body" for a year at least.Men are so not worth it!My fellow ladies pls take note!
ReplyDeleteWhat a world just six months he lost his wife and already married again?From my own point of view I do not think he really loved his dead wife maybe he is even relieved she's no more as for Debbie who I feel is a responsible woman couldn't she wait?No one reallly knows what happened but whatever it's so so WRONG.What manner of pastor joined both as husband and wife so many ??? begging for answers how about his children if he has any?.All I can say to women is be vigilant.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe that this woman use to sit 3 rows behind him and his wife in church? Na wa ohhh. The even advice singles to date for a year before marriage not to talk about these old cargos.
ReplyDeletethis is morally wrong on so many levels being a pastor he should know the moral and spiritual implications of his actions how can you get married so soon after the death of your wife??
ReplyDeleteif tongues start wagging now he will start using the touch not my anointed argument to justify himself...
i hope the debbie whatever is proud of herself
The pastor works in Addax oil or some thing. I am sure she is after his money. are u trying to say that our dear pastor cant fast for more than six months. I think the new pastor of kings court refused to marry them, that is why they did it in secret. or maybe she is pregnant.
ReplyDeleteGod will judge! May the soul of his late wife and mother of his three children rest in peace. I am shocked. Woe to you who put your trust on men or pastors.
ReplyDeleteDaddy G.O must do something about this new show of shame being perpetrated in the redeemed church by redeemed women and men. she is a married woman in the first place. who wedded them? what about her husband the Dr Olumide?
ReplyDeleteHow can they meet court and wed in a space of six months yet they insist that couples must attend marriage counselling for about 3 months before they get married. Dr Olumide I gather is her second husband. He must be saying Good riddance to bad rubbish. Dr Olumide should go after pastor Ojo and collect his wife. He shouldnt take that from anyone. Pastor Ojo and debbie killed madam to have their fun.
Anonymous that attends "king's Court" isnt it a shame u had to dragged your church into this? And I hope you know the head pastor and entire pastorate was consulted before they remarried!

So sick, digusting! If it was proper the wedding wouldn't have been a secret, would it? If a pastor can do this, na wa o! Imagine him and a new wife wearing black during his first wife's rememberance! SHAME!
ReplyDeleteJesus is Lord, may he forgive some people sha o who justify getting married after the loss of the wife. They left our church because our honorable Pastor refused to marry them until he had mourned his wife approporiately.
ReplyDeletePleas ppl just because God say as a widow or widower you can re-marry doesnt mean you should throw caution and humanity o the wind.
If your finger is cut off it will still take time to heal how much more lossing your spouse of over 20yrs.
Deep wounds take time to heal and im sorry 6months is too short to remarry after lossing your spouse, no matter the religion.
Anon i support you jare all wounds take time to heal not to talk of the loss of a spouse. i t has nothing to do with religion it is just humane... Yes HUMANE is the word.\
ReplyDeletewe are not animals how much more people who claim to fear God.
Even if we are not all Christians or Muslims or Pagans. Loss is loss and its a deep thing to lose someone you were married to for yrs.
So if he buried his wife in July when did he meet he start meeting another woman, when did they plan the wedding, when did they start dicussing marriage stuff.
Abeg women are very bahd!!!
Debbie Ogunjobi (a.k a. Debbie Olujobi) had long said "And the beat goes on" in an article she wrote about the death of late Pastor Mrs Remi Ojo, whom she referred to as 'Aunty'.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/05/and-the-beat-goes-on-2/
Now she can enjoy the cuddle of 'uncle' , that is pastor Jide.
So soon, so sad.
Happy Married life to her now. All these bad belle pipu sef! choii why can't you just wish them well? Anyway these Ogunjobi babes dey fine sha. I know 2 of her family in Atlanta. Fine fine ladies..no homo
ReplyDeletemuch as it is not wrong to remary after d death of one's spouse..i think its too sudden for pastor ojo to remary. c'mon pastor, its barely 6months. no respect for the dead? even if u have to move on, which is inevitable, show some respect for ur late wife, mourn her a lil bit before marrying another. uve set tongues waging n insinuating..very bad move. not nice.
ReplyDelete@anon 3:30
ReplyDeleteI get how you feel. But, it's the pastors themselves that 'package' themselves as super-humans or demi-gods, if you will, in order to draw a following. When did you ever hear a pastor speak of himself as a normal human being who can commit sin or make mistakes or even preach a message in error. No! No! All you keep hearing is how special they are to God, how God came to them, how they said something and it came to pass, how they healed someone, most importantly, how someone 'blessed' their life with material things aka gave them money, car, house or something of value and the heavens opened for the person. It's pathetic the gospel that has been articulated today by Nigerian pastors.
why secretly if imay ask
ReplyDeletePeople that knewPastor Ojo were really shocked about this particular incident because this guy and his former wife were role models in church and they were so in love. Always holding hands and giving hugs. Not knowing that JEZEBEL was already ploting. Men are very weak period. Yes its too early for him to jump into another marriage and certainly not with DEBBIE!Besides Pastor is now carrying Dr Olumides two kids as his own to another church and dead madams son has been found an apartment to live. Father, I pray that i shall not labour in vain for another Jezebel to come and eat the fruit of my labour. Amen. And late Mrs Ojo was such a sweet heart. God bless her soul and open Pastors eyes, amen
ReplyDeleteI suspect juju at work here o!
DeleteLove all but trust none, shine ur eye even in church!
Chai!!! So soon? What I learnt from this their marriage is, if you kill yourself because of a man, he will attend your funeral with another woman.
ReplyDeletesebi ds woman dey always talk and act like say she no need any man for her life..?na wa o!some pple can form sha....so after all dat mouth,she sef don confirm say availability of shagging whenever and wherever you want it is a necessity too much to ignore.....lol..and to all of you saying it doesnt matter for the pastor to have waited one year,what if you were the dead wife?how would you feel in your grave or in heaven seeing this happen?yes pastors are mere men,like one of you wrote,but they are supposed to be decent men,and before you defend hiim by saying re marrying only means he is decent enough he doesnt want to fornicate,pls remeber that a level of spirituality is required of pastors,and you must have subjugated the things of the flesh to a reasonable extent before you even call yourself one..if a man cannot keep his hormones in check for a more than a mere 6months as a pastor,something is wrong o!it only means the flesh is still king if u ask me!my 2cents....
ReplyDeleteHehehe..@anon 2.01pm *i dnt wish him anyfn* hahaha!
ReplyDeleteD man funny sha...mayb he didnt even love his wife enough...wu knws? 6months is kinda too small #jas saying#
Why is it so difficult for men to wait? He should have waited for at least a year.
ReplyDeleteWell life must continue, I was at late pastor's wife burial last year, it is true the woman didn't sick before she died, She is a pastor also in the same church. Had three matured childred (2boys & a lady). My question is that why re-married in the same church and as a pastor and well respected person while not wait for at least a year in-honour his late wife. Anyway that is man for you. Happy Married Life sha!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteif na woman try am.......dem go say na she kill her husband........hmmmmm
ReplyDeleteA woman in my church gave a testimony of God's goodness to her family. Her daughter got married, relocated abroad, and had a baby within the last year. Also, her husband died last year, and thank God He has given her another man, a widower. They are now married! and the church was humming!! What is she looking for at that age again? Why didnt she wait for a year to finish mourning her husband before she remarried? I say...only she knows her condition in her previous marriage for this one to be testimony-worthy. and i was wondering if it was a man would the sentiments be the same?? only God can judge. me i left my hubby last year, had no kids and spent a lot on treatments without respite, even from the abusive man. so now i have someone else and surprise surprise - preggers already! only God fit judge.
ReplyDelete@The hypocritical anonymous supporting him! YOU ARE EITHER OGUNJOBI OR RELATED TO THEM! but i ask, if it was your own sister or relation that died and her husband re married within 6months, YOU WOULD NOT COMPLAIN??????
ReplyDeleteIs it so easy to get over losing a loved one???? All those years of BONDING, gone like a puff of wind huh?? IF IT WAS A WOMAN THAT DID THIS, PEOPLE WOULD BE CALLING FOR HER HEAD!!!!!HER IN-LAWS, people like you can even accuse her of killing her husband so as to marry her lover!
You mentioned the bible.....read more into the old testament and under the culture and belief of the Jews.......apart from our culture and custom, COMMON SENSE and one's CONSCIENCE is needed here!
Just after 6 MONTHS?????? and secretly????.....It says a lot! As for RMD issue, his first marriage was under fire also! People accused him of marrying MEE for ulterior motive, hence, when she died after the operation, he married JUMOBI, who is also contending with his numerous mistresses!
So please SHUT UP YOUR HYPOCRITICAL MOUTH OK??? mschewwww!
Linda, get your facts right. He lost and buried his wife in May 2011 not July. However, this story is old as he married her sometime in Oct/Nov
ReplyDeleteAnnon Feb 6 12:30pm......if the pastor's late wife was ur sister ,,,would u have made the same nasty comments u made???so because he is not God's assistant means he should not even mourn his wife for a while???less than six months after the death of his wife,,he's already running into the arms of another woman.....if the situation was opposite,,wont people scold the wife for not mourning her husband for sometime???dis is someone he lived with,,shared his body and soul with.......how are we sure he was not even dating dis woman before his wife passed away or how long did it take for the new wife to accept his proposal....did she just accept immediately???how long was their courtship before they got married and y getting married secretly if everything was done in order??? does dat mean he has forgotten everything about his late wife just within a space of six months????? dis is pathetic,,,,pls lets be realistic.....
ReplyDeleteanonymous12:30pm
ReplyDeleteIf it was your own sibling(Godforbid though) that was married to him and and he could not even wait till one year before remarrying would you encourage it... the word is"do unto others as you want people to do unto you"
Have you considered the children and how traumatised thechange will be?
Anyway it is his life, but staying one year wouldn't have killed him.
Na wah o,i can't believe people actually support this guy cos he is a pastor,if persn talk now una go say e dey touch God annointed.although it's not my place to judge but if person see wetin no good for eye e suppose talk am.@anon 3:30am i pray nothing like this happens to anyone u love or are close to,u will sing a different tune,what kind of love couldn't wait for at least 1yr,who says the guy hasn't already been fornicating? Where is d family of the late wife biko!!don't they have questions as to how their daughter/sister died.hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
ReplyDeleteIsn't she married to one Dr Olumide with 2 kids?
ReplyDeleteSo people don't mourn their spouses anymore? My friend's brother did the same thing. His wife died during child birth and three months later, he took another wife. Even his own family did not support him on that one. I was so shocked.
ReplyDeleteThe double standard is sickening because if a woman in Nigeria dares to do that, everyone would say she killed her husband. Hmmm...the heart of man......

ReplyDeleteI guess none of you read his son's reply on this page @ all. His family supported it. I don't know what all of you's problem is now o. Get a grip and move on with your life.
ReplyDeleteStop using panadol for another man's headache. I don't understand why people always focus on the negatives. Was his wife sick? did he kill her? Was he dating Debbie? You guys just can't sit down to think for once what the man could have been going through.
Move on with you lives. Sheesh
Debbie can never be happy in this marriage. How come its only peoples husbands that this Debbie likes? Dr Olumide was also a divorcee. Shes a preety girl, so i see no reason why she cant find a young guy to start her life. At this rate she will pass through several married men. My husband excluded, amen. This marriage is already doomed. If i were her, i would leave pastor jeje. People don set eye on her.
ReplyDelete@Dame Sting my point exactly only 6 months and he is married again it just means he was seeing her even before his wife died mschew!!!
ReplyDeleteAll those people saying horrible things about the couple (in spite of the fact that the pastor's son has spoken about this twice), y'all will reap what you've sown. When people have problems in their lives, they never remember things like this that they've done. Go and ask for forgiveness from God.
ReplyDeleteBehind a successful man there is a woman, Pastor (late) Remi has given full support through her prayers to her husband when she alive and everything went on well with them. After her death her husband, so called pastor cann't mour her for a year, uuuun, God knows the best.
ReplyDeleteMy advise to the woman that men does not have heaven "Okunrin ko ni Orun" do your part, take good care of your children, do put men on head. It is my prayer that you will live to see the goodness of your children, nobody will replace you in your husband house.
To the church of God: Please sir (Daddy GO) re-structure so called pastors in your domain in order to afford stain to the house at large.
To all, let leave everything to God and stop judge.
I can see people are blind and haven't read his son's comments.
ReplyDeleteYou lot should better ask God for forgiveness.
People sha, Debbie was never married to Dr. Olumide o. Yes she had children for him but they were never married.
ReplyDeleteCan't you just wish them happy married life and move on?
He did a decent thing by marrying her instead of dating and fornicating with her.
ReplyDeleteI also like the fact that they had a low key marriage.
I wish them happy married life and may their marriage last till death do them part.
Congrats Debbie, it is well with you and all that is yours!!!
This will be her second marriage. Her first marriage to a medical doctor did not last long.

ReplyDeleteHmmmm i wasn't going to comment before but seeing as AKINJIDE OJO has come out to make noise make i blow horn also.'JIDE,i am sure ur mommy is turning in her grave right now,she must be wondering what sort of son she gave birth to.Your mother died barely 8 months and your dad remarried???????????YEYE DEY REALLY SMELL....Is that how much your mom meant to your family???YOUR OWN MOM?Oghene biko o.Olorun maje....It's really too bad.You should have cautioned your dad to hold himself and rein in those hormones!!!It's only proper that if your parents had any kind of meaningful relationship then your dad should have mourned her properly.What is the hurry?Na so konji dey catch am?Which kain companinonship?What would it have cost him to tarry for a bit longer?JIDE OOOOO.You no try at all.Your dad married a divorcee.Does the bible not make that an abomionation especially if the woman's husband is still alive?I am ashamed of your dad,I am even more ashamed of you.SHE WAS YOUR MOTHER!!!Everyman to his own anyways....#justtoobad#....ONOME
@ Akinjide Ojo........kudos to u,,,of course no one would expect that u come to a public site and disagree with ur dad and his new wife/their intentions as regards their marriage,,,,,but the gospel truth is: what is good is good and what is bad can neva ever be good......forget about ur church members who wrote comments and u felt they did wrong with the comments they wrote,,,moreover out of every rumour/information there is always an atom of truth,,,,most people who commented here are not members of ur church,,how come they all reasoned/thought in the same direction(food for thought)?????
ReplyDeleteRemember,,,,,MORALS AND RELIGION GO HAND IN HAND.......anywayz,,,its ur family affair,,,wish y'all well....my 2cents!!!
Obviously this so called Pastors son that came here to defend his father and mistress? must be a bastard. Besides no right thinking child would come out to say this kind of rubbish. Abi Debbie don give you wetin e give your Papa. People, if nah this boy truetrue he needs our prayers oooo! Mo gbe! Debbie, Debbie. Hmmmm there is a higher authority ooo.
ReplyDeletethis is my prayer for the the lady in question "if she had hand in the death of Remi Ojo, may God reign the highest judgment on her". But can she answer the following question "was she dating the pastor while his wife was alive" sitting third row away from her and her husband in the church, I wonder what kind of thoughts was running thru her mind...something ain't right, but the truth will come out.
ReplyDeleteAnd to the son, you shouldn't have come here to defend your father. The story as just began, wait till the war of step-mother began on you and your siblings. My advise to you is be a MAN, you and your other siblings should stick together and take care of your self. Because your father will be the one to be taking care of his new wife kids, soon enough he might not want to see you and your siblings again. May the soul of your mother rest in peace.
double standards as always in nigeria.
ReplyDeleteWhy are we Nigerians so abusive? The most recent comments baffle me. Why are you insulting the man's son? The guy has asked you to back off his family? Why can't you just do that after all, is it your family? If you don't have any positive thing to say, must you comment? If you feel what the new couple has done is wrong, can't you pray for them and show that you are 'wise' (as you all claim) rather than be 'foolish' and insult people you don't even know?! Whatever makes you think the son isn't man enough? FYI, he works and lives in his own house! If his siblings commented, it is all of you that would still talk!
ReplyDeleteSome of you commenting here are not as clean as you all pretend to be. Many of you are unfaithful to your own partners (even when such partners are very much alive), some of you are thieves,gossips, murderers, account falsifiers, prostitutes, liars etc. We commit sins everyday and make mistakes but its God's mercy that has kept us. Since we are not all saints as we like to claim, do we really have the right to condemn someone else? Why can't we leave God to judge?
Late Mrs. Remi Ojo is resting peacefully in the bosom of Christ.Let us work out our own salvation so we can be sure to make it to heaven rather than insult and curse people because if Jesus comes now as we all are typing and hurling insults, trust me, we won't make it in.
The moral of my comment is don't judge because you never can tell what you would do if you find yourself in the same situation. Pray hard and seek God's face.
Urban chic for your info our church did not approve that is why they didnt do it there.
ReplyDeleteConsultation is not approval!!
This is not right
Gosh..what a couple? he definitely wasted no time in getting hitched soon after his wife hit the ground. And debbie...i mean, how okay is it to marry someone whose wife died barely 6 months ago.
ReplyDeletei find the whole thing distateful...
goodluck to them...
Come ooo Linda, I hope no be Oga Jide Ojo wey I know dey work for Addax Petro. and one time President of National Association of Petroleum whatever na them talking about here, because I know say e be pastor and his wife died last year, if na him – ewooh this Oga na complete gentleman, waiting carry this man put for this mess for goodness sake. Nothing bad for re-marry but he for wait for at least a year and he for not marry society woman who put him for this, who connect them together sef, Ladies full Oil Industry wey go beta for this man than society woman and moreover single ladies dey yafun-yafun way dey look for gentleman like Oga Jide, Linda a bi I dey lair. Anyway God will see him through.
ReplyDeleteso you mean to tell me that he could not even wait for at least 1 year to mourn his late wife abi what was the hurry i can't understand and no one is saying that he should not marry but haba wetin its so annoying abi the late wife did not mean anything to him or what!!!
ReplyDeletepls linda, did you delete jide ojo's comment? i can see people commenting about his comment but i can see it any where here ooooo.
ReplyDeleteurbanchiq is obviously debbie ogunjobi #rollseyes no need to try so hard just chest your actions. God is the final judge.
ReplyDeleteits a shame that people can condescend so low to tarnish peoples image. the man is a pastor in my church. the weddind was not seceret.some people knew about it. why dont you get your facts right. i think its high time some of you junk papers are sued. honestly something has to happen so that some of you will learn your lessons. pls get your facts. if i were the one i will sue you guys. you only know how to spoil peoples name and sell your papers.
ReplyDeleteUrban chic. Get your facts right. Pastors Ituah and Chris Okotie divorced AFTER their ordination.
