Pastor David Adeoye who is the
founder of Royalty Christian
Centre is the man that married Sunmbo
Adeoye who gave birth to 2face
Idibia's first two children before
their breakup in 2009.
Pastor Adeoye narrated how his relationship with Sumbo started:
"When we lost my late first wife
whom everybody called mama,
there was noise but it was
sympathisers' noise; but when I
started dating Sunmbo, the noise
changed to something else. It
was horrible. Because I had a
strong conviction in me that she
was my wife, I did not care.
People would call me almost
every time to ask if I had seen
what had been written about her
in one magazine or newspaper.
People feared that dating her
and eventually getting married to
her would destroy the church
because worshippers had
started to leave the church.
"While I was battling this in my
heart, I stumbled on a video of
Joyce Meyer and that was how I
got to know that she was a
single mother who was in an
abusive marriage before she met
and married David Meyer, who
had never been married before
he met her. As soon as I watched
that video, an inner voice told me
that the way Joyce Meyer
commended her husband is the
same way the world would
commend me by the time I am
done with Sunmbo. We have
been married for three years and
I don't regret getting married to
her. Most of the people who
kicked against me marrying her
have come back to apologise.
"Many people do not know that I
have known Sunmbo as far back
as 1998. She is a music minister
and I had a brother who had a
gospel rap group. She was the
only girl among them. When she
finished singing one fateful day,
even my late wife commended
her singing prowess. I never
thought that we would one day
get married. In fact, she was
close to my late wife such that
when she fell from faith during
her dark days, my late wife
played a major role in her
restoration.
"Unknown to most people, her
past experiences became my
greatest attraction. You can
hardly find a man of God who
married a single mother; most
men of God married a virgin.
Every time, the body of Christ in
Nigeria preaches 2 Corithians
5:17 but do not believe it. I saw
people run away from me
because they felt I had embarked
on a risky journey when I started
dating Sunmbo."
