In an emotional video shared on his ministry’s official platform, Bishop Daniel Obinim, founder of the International God’s Way Church, has publicly addressed the wave of online criticism directed at his wife, gospel singer Florence Obinim. The backlash, which erupted after her recent public appearance, fueled intense debates across social media, leading the clergyman to break his silence.

“I’ve Had Enough”: A Husband’s Defense
Speaking with visible frustration, Bishop Obinim made it clear he has “had enough” of the relentless scrutiny targeting his wife’s appearance. He urged the public to look beyond superficial judgments and recognize Florence’s significant contributions as a gospel artist and a steadfast partner in ministry.

“Her appearance should not overshadow her calling or her heart for service,” he asserted, defending her dignity and emphasizing her long-standing role in uplifting congregations through music and faith.

A Critique of Online Culture
The bishop took aim at the culture of online trolling, describing it as deeply hurtful and damaging to individuals and families. He called for greater compassion and respect in public discourse, reminding viewers that everyone—including public figures—deserves to be treated with dignity.

“It is disheartening when critics choose to focus on the surface, ignoring years of spiritual impact, dedication, and artistic ministry,” Obinim stated.

Commitment Unshaken by Controversy
Despite the divisive reactions online, Bishop Obinim reassured congregants that the church’s mission remains unchanged. He emphasized that the controversy would not distract from their work of spreading the gospel and encouraged supporters to stand with Florence—celebrating her achievements rather than amplifying negativity.

“We will not be derailed,” he affirmed. “Our focus is on faith, family, and fulfilling our divine assignment.”

Mixed Reactions, Clear Stance
Since its release, the video has continued to circulate, drawing mixed reactions. While many have expressed solidarity with the Obinims, others have reiterated their criticisms. Regardless of public opinion, Bishop Obinim’s message marks a firm, protective stance—a clear signal that he will shield his family from what he sees as undue and superficial public pressure.
