Brown Afolabi, husband of media personality Morayo Afolabi, has questioned the recurring pattern of multiple marriages in Pastor Jimmy Odukoya’s family, describing it as a spiritual issue that needs to be addressed.
Brown raised the concerns during a podcast conversation with his wife, following Jimmy’s recent remarriage.
He suggested that Jimmy must have received divine direction before ending his first marriage.
However, Morayo challenged the assertion, warning against making assumptions about the circumstances surrounding the end of the pastor’s first marriage.
“He didn’t throw her away now. We don’t know. You can’t assume she was thrown away. You can’t say what we don’t know,” she said.
Responding, Brown maintained that questions about why Jimmy’s first marriage ended would continue to generate discussions.
“You see that question, Morayo, as the Lord liveth, that question will continue to linger. That why did you leave the first wife? That is a question that can never go away until it is answered because it forms the foundation for a lot of people to make decisions personal to them,” he said.
He further pointed to the marital history of Jimmy’s late father, Pastor Bimbo Odukoya, who remarried after the death of his first wife, describing the development as a pattern that has now extended to the next generation.
According to Brown, Jimmy’s father had children from two marriages, while the pastor has also had children from two marriages.
“Look, Jimmy has half-brothers. You know that. The descendant of Numti and the descendant of Bimbo. Now Jimmy’s second generation. There is now the descendant of Kemi and now the descendant of Jasmine, second generation of halves, two marriages from the dad, two marriages by the son. Morayo, there is a bigger spiritual issue that needs to be addressed,” he added.
Brown, however, acknowledged that the circumstances surrounding the two marriages might not have been deliberate.
“It may not be their fault. The dad did not wish to have two wives, unfortunately, one wife died. He contracted two marriages in his lifetime. Jimmy too has contracted two marriages. When exactly will it end?” he asked.
