The clergywoman explained that the separation was due to circumstances beyond her control, emphasizing that it was not a decision she entered lightly.

Reflecting on her past decade, Pastor Tolu shared that she has faced multiple personal losses, including the end of her marriage, the death of her stepmother, her father’s twin sister, and her father.
“I’ll say I’m separated. Most of you don’t know I’m separated and that’s actually defined or has shaped my life. It was circumstances beyond my control. You know, sometimes when you get into marriage, you don’t do so to leave. It is a death in a way. When your marriage is over, it is a death. In the last ten years, I’ve experienced the death of my marriage, my stepmother, my dad’s twin sister, and my father,” she said.
Pastor Tolu also described her ex-husband in positive terms, stressing the importance of divine guidance in marriage. “My ex-husband is a great man… but if God doesn’t ordain you guys to be together and you force-fit yourselves, the likelihood of staying together is very low,” she explained.
She further reflected on the challenges she has faced in life, acknowledging that her journey has not followed the path she initially envisioned. “My life is not an easy one; it has not gone the way I planned it,” Pastor Tolu Odukoya stated.
Pastor Tolu is the daughter of the late Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, co-founder and senior pastor of The Fountain of Life Church in Ilupeju, Lagos.
The video of Pastor Tolu Odukoya confirming the end of her marriage has since circulated widely across social media platforms.
