Married ministry, instituted by Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, and ran by his late wife, Bimbo Odukoya, is unarguably widespread, not mentioning initiatives like Discovery for Men and Women, or weekly articles on leadership and relationship building that are keenly followed on the Guardian, Premium Times, Daily Independent, and BellaNaija, reputable Nigerian Media platforms by any standard. makes it clear that if depth of coverage is not established by one single source then multiple sources can be combined to demonstrate notability and i believe this is what this article has done in several respects. You requested for one more link in the article with Taiwo Odukoya as a major subject, i'll give you four: this
239:: The article, it seems to me, meets the notability criteria (WP:BIO). It does contain reliable secondary sources. And in a country like Nigeria, where religious institutions have become another money making venture, it is notable to find a Christian leader known for making social and economic contributions to improve the lives of people within his community. "Voted one of the 12 most inspiring leaders" in a country of over 170 million people does sound like notability to me. I remember making minor contributions to this article and quite agree that it is an orphan article and needs one or two article links. That can be done. Let's keep this article. 08:45, 7 April 2014 (UTC)

building orphanages, adopting schools, a hospital for the less privileged, a vocational training school etc. All of these have been duly referenced in this article. @Darreg the notability of Pastor Taiwo
Odukoya transcends the notability of his late wife, Bimbo Odukoya, a woman who seized every opportunity to let the world know her husband was the main thrust behind her ministry. The man contributes a weekly column on leadership and nation-building and a fortnightly column on reputable Nigerian platforms, both of which are widely read and respected by Nigerians. It would be a great disservice to Knowledge (XXG) to lose this article.

The crux of the issue here is this: Is Taiwo
Odukoya worthy of notice? . The church wields undeniable influence in Nigeria and few clergy men stand out in this regard for their reputed integrity, popularity and contributions to the community, and Taiwo Odukoya is one of them. The impact of the Single

Taiwo
Odukoya meets the notability criteria (WP:BIO) in every way. There are indeed secondary sources in this article about the man himself and not his wife. Taiwo Odukoya heads one of the leading churches in Nigeria (over 8,000 members strong) and makes incredible social contributions such as

African media houses would interview him and write articles about him is because of his wife. If notability can be transferred I can say his wife transferred some to him. lol
