"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!What Kemi has to say about Jimmy Odukoya when you continue...
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.
AWww so sweet. Lovely couple. I wish u d best.

ReplyDeletebest wishes...i pray for a happy home too.amen!!!
ReplyDeleteAs am reading this am weeping. I always wished I would marry him or at least someone as kind as him. My b.f is beside me now, violent guy and dead drunk. He smells so bad of alcohol. What can I do. Never been lucky wiv men, and I can almost say I don't have hope. Meanwhile I know within me that am a good girl. All my friends want to be like me cus I am very discliplined. Seems its a crime to be good. All of my friends do runs yet they end up wiv the best men. Even when my father fell from grace to grass. I still didn't do it. Yt see who I ended up wiv. Maybe na home trouble. My elder sister never marry at 36, am scared! Don't want my own to be like that. Am just confused.
ReplyDeleteMy darlin maybe its ur mindset! U r holding on to ur fear of not being with a good man, dats y u kip attracting bad men. Read "The Secret" by Rhonda Byines. It hz all u need 2 knw. Then u can also read "Act like a lady think like a man" by steve Harvey. Don't worry bout nothing and don't ever belive dat any witch from any home can trouble u.
DeleteAwwwwr,sorry darling...do u know wat turn to God,he is d only helper and he is ur creator,he knows wat is good for u,tell him deeply ur heart desires.Moreso,tlk to ur so called bf to change n give him space or rather look for a better guy and to be too quick to jump into guys hands,Friend dem first to know lil about dem...I Pray God will guide ur heart perfectly.Dnt worry it is well.
DeletePls don't marry him, uld be un happy for life if u do, just hold on the rite guy would come. Pray pray nd pray.go online nd read pastor bimbs books uld be blessed. Hugs

ReplyDeleteLovely love story. This goes to show you don't have to court someone for donkey years before tying the knot.
ReplyDeleteIt has been said that when a man sees what he wants, he goes for it irrespective of the time frame.
So all you ladies dating/courting for years, you all need to start evaluating your relationships.
HML Mr & Mrs Jimmy Odukoya

ReplyDeleteLol!!u be real eve
Delete'the women i dated in the past'?? Are u supposed to date any1 at all as a pastor?? My pastor alwayz warns against gf/bf relatnships n here a pastor is actually sayin he has dated oda women in d past b4 his now marriage...if i may ask wat hav u guys been discussin,doin 4 ova a year b4 u engaged her? Hmmm dis world dou,only God can judge
ReplyDeleteTot I was gonna marry him:)
ReplyDeleteThese guys were having sex before they got married. Look at those pictures. Men! So sexual. Sure u are a pastor( to the letter, that is)? And all his talk about her not being involved in infidelity. Sounds like someone who's been around women a lot. UK pastor, nowww, makes sense. Anyway enjoy your time together.
ReplyDeleteHappi 4 dem
ReplyDeleteAnd this is a love story?make a 3D movie about it nah.
ReplyDeleteGod bless your union and here is a wonderful story I would read over and over and over again. It aint strange to me that no one has even commented on this, 'cos love is not shared by most people in this country. We don't love!!!
