Bishop Daniel Obinim, the founder of International God's Way Church, has responded to the social media criticism his wife, Florence Obinim, faced after showing off her new look online. Speaking during a church service on December 23, 2025, Bishop Obinim addressed the harsh remarks directed at his wife and distanced himself from her social media activities.
### Bishop Obinim's Reaction to Criticism
Florence Obinim, who recently returned from Spain, had appeared in a TikTok live session on December 21, 2025, where she flaunted her slimmer figure and new facial appearance in a red dress. She invited Ghanaians to attend an upcoming church event in Tema, Accra, but her video sparked a wave of criticism online. Many social media users questioned her physical changes, with some alleging she had undergone cosmetic procedures to appear younger.
The backlash intensified with concerns about her well-being, and some accused her of using body enhancement surgeries to maintain her youth. Florence, who is also a gospel singer, was heavily criticized for her social media presence, which seemed to invite negative attention.
### Bishop Obinim Defends His Wife
In response to the online fury, Bishop Obinim, addressing his congregation in Tema, revealed that he had seen a video advising his wife to stay away from social media due to the backlash. He shared that he had already advised Florence to quit social media three years ago to avoid such online abuse, but she had chosen to ignore his advice.
The controversial pastor further stated that he had taken “spiritual action” after seeing a harsh comment aimed at his wife. Bishop Obinim warned the public against involving him in the criticism of his wife’s actions. He emphasized that while people were free to address Florence's issues, they should refrain from attacking their marriage.
### Financial Support and Deflecting the Blame
During his speech, Bishop Obinim also reminded the public of the significant financial contributions he had made to support his wife's music career and lavish lifestyle, which included providing for their children abroad. He criticized those who used social media to ridicule his family, particularly pointing out that personal issues within their marriage should not be used to attack him.
Bishop Obinim expressed frustration over the constant public scrutiny, stating that he had previously faced similar criticism and had been forced to change his ways after public pressure. He suggested that if people criticized his wife in the same way they had criticized him, she would eventually realize her issues and make adjustments.
### Social Media Reactions
The bishop’s comments sparked mixed reactions online. Some social media users supported Obinim’s call for criticism to be directed at his wife’s social media antics, while others saw his remarks as a deflection from the bigger issues at play.
One user, ODK, commented, *“From what Obinim is saying, I think he has been advising his wife.”* While Adwoa Sparkles wrote, *“First time Obinim is talking the truth.”* Others, like Tommy, voiced concern about the unequal scrutiny between men and women in relationships, with Tommy noting, *“When women are going through a lot, it's their marriage that is causing it, but when a man goes through worse things, no one says it's because of marriage.”*
### Controversial Prophecies and Criticism
Earlier this year, self-proclaimed seer Karma President prophesied doom for Florence Obinim’s marriage, suggesting that her husband would move on with another woman after her death. Karma President also criticized Florence for allegedly undergoing cosmetic surgeries to please her husband, adding fuel to the ongoing controversy.
### Conclusion
Bishop Obinim’s defense of his wife has stirred a wide range of opinions on social media, with many questioning whether Florence’s social media presence is appropriate or if her marriage issues should be kept private. As the situation continues to unfold, it seems that the Obinim family will remain at the center of public discussion.
