Pastor Jimmy Odukoya Says God Told Him to Keep His Dreadlocks to Save a Life
Jimmy Odukoya, Senior Pastor of the Fountain of Life Church, revealed that God instructed him not to cut his dreadlocks in order to save a life. Speaking during a recent sermon, the pastor shared that he sought divine guidance about his appearance before taking on his pastoral role after the death of his father, Taiwo Odukoya.
He explained, “I asked the Lord if I should cut my hair before returning to the pulpit, and He told me not to.” Odukoya also asked his sister to pray on the matter, and when she returned with the same message, he was certain that it was God’s will.
Pastor Odukoya then recounted a powerful story about a woman from Zimbabwe who traveled to Nigeria to meet him after a vision she had in 2016. The woman explained that she had seen a man with dreadlocks speaking to her in a vision, offering guidance during a difficult time in her life.
She shared how, after enduring a tough breakup and losing everything, including her mother, she found solace in Odukoya’s sermons on YouTube. The woman said she recognized him instantly when she saw him with long hair, recalling the vision she had years earlier.
What moved Odukoya most was that he hadn’t had long hair at the time of the woman’s vision. He believed God had guided him to keep his dreadlocks, ensuring that he would be there to help her in her moment of need.
He emphasized, “God knew that at some point in 2025, this woman would need to see a man with long hair preaching to her. If I had cut it, I wouldn’t have been able to fulfill this purpose.”
Nigerian actress Yvonne Jegede is making headlines following her comments on marriage.
In a recent interview with The Punch, she described marriage as overrated and shared her perspective on how it often does not favour women.
She explained that women tend to carry more responsibilities and are sometimes expected to hold the marriage together.
“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, marriage is overrated. For people who have found happiness in marriage, I’m genuinely happy for them. But from my perspective and within my environment, marriage doesn’t always favour women.”
Nigerian reality TV star Phyna is facing backlash following her decision to undergo BBL surgery.
It can be noted that the reality star had earlier revealed plans for the procedure. This comes months after she lost her sister in a tragic accident.
Many critics have questioned her decision, suggesting she has not taken enough time to grieve. However, others have pointed out that people process grief differently.
Phyna responded to the backlash, saying “Nigerians are hypocrites. A lot of miserable people are dragging me for doing BBL a few months after my sister’s death. I have already grieved my sister and she will always remain in my heart.”
Nigerian content creator Zics Aloma has stirred reactions online after sharing an experience with a former friend.
He revealed that a friend he had not spoken to in two years reached out to him asking for financial help to settle rent. Zics responded that he could not provide such a large amount.
According to him, the former friend then insulted him, which left him surprised.
He said “You have not spoken to me for the past two years and you’re suddenly billing me. My last birthday I only got one gift from my assistant, whereas I give my friends cake, perfume, and wigs for their birthdays. This year, energy for energy.”
