Jimmy Odukoya and Others Transition from Entertainment to Ministry
The article discusses the transition of several Nigerian celebrities from the entertainment industry to ministry. Jimmy Odukoya, known for his role as Oba Ade in "The Woman King," is the Senior Pastor and Chairman of the Board of Trustees of The Fountain of Life Church in Lagos.
He was ordained in Oklahoma in 2007 and in Nigeria in 2009, becoming a pastor at the church in 2012 after inheriting leadership following his father's death in 2023. Veteran actor Zack Orji, who has appeared in over 100 films, was ordained a reverend in 2012 by Bishop Lawrence Osagie of Power Line Bible Church.
Orji integrates his acting career with his ministry, viewing both as callings. Additionally, actress Anunobi was ordained an evangelist on February 5, 2012, at Fresh Oil Ministry in Egbeda, Lagos, and continues to engage in public discussions about faith while occasionally acting.
