Pastor Taiwo Odukoya has been finally laid to rest in Lagos.

About a month ago, the Senior Pastor of The Fountain of Life Church (TFOLC) passed away in the US.

The preacher was buried on Saturday in a private ceremony that was attended by family members and close friends. The preacher’s congregation has its headquarters in the Lagos neighbourhood of Ilupeju.

Earlier in the day, a funeral ceremony was held at the church’s headquarters.

Bishop David Abioye preached during the gathering, praising Pastor Taiwo’s accomplishments and sharing Fountaineers’ sorrow over the cleric’s passing.

He urged the audience to make the most of their time on earth and reminded them that life is about impact.

According to him, every man must taste death but what matters in the end is the legacies people leave behind.

“We have to be sensitive to how we spend our life because all man shall die,” he said.

“The big question to all of us is, how are you living?”

Apart from Bishop Abioye, other dignitaries who graced Saturday’s funeral service included Dolapo Osinbajo, the wife of ex-Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM)’s Bishop Mike Okonkwo; the Senior Pastor of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo; House on the Rock’s Pastor Paul Adefarasin, a delegation from the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), among others.

Born in Kaduna, North-West Nigeria, Pastor Taiwo is survived by five children including Nollywood star Jimmy Odukoya.
