Pastor Jimmy Odukoya, senior pastor of Fountain of Life Church, has faced criticism online after sharing a gym photo on social media on Thursday, August 27, 2026.
In the photo, Odukoya wore a white singlet, leather hand wraps and a hairband. His tattoos were also clearly visible, drawing mixed reactions from social media users.
While some defended the pastor’s decision to work out, others questioned whether his appearance was suitable for “a man of God.”
Some reactions to the Instagram post included:
“Abeg I no use this pastor play oo my every Monday prayer on his page abeg.”
“He already had those tattoos before he became a pastor plus, does that mean he can’t go to gym cos he is a pastor.”
“Church is the sweetest business in Nigeria. Even your child can inherit your position when you pass on.”
“Is he a real pastor? Something is wrong with all of you.”
“I cant believe some people dont see anything wrong here, just wow, woke nonsens.”
Jimmy Odukoya is the son of the late Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, the founder of Fountain of Life Church. He later took over the church’s leadership and has since become a public figure with an active presence on social media.
