Bishop Obinim Slams Estranged Wife Florence Over New Toyota RAV4 Gift | Discuss Ghana

The highly publicized breakdown of one of Ghana’s most prominent celebrity pastoral marriages has descended into open, hostile social media warfare. Bishop Daniel Obinim, founder of the International God’s Way Church, has fiercely lashed out at his estranged wife, gospel musician Florence Obinim, mockingly labeling her newly gifted Toyota RAV4 SUV as an "ugly car."

The dramatic outburst follows a viral video circulating on Friday, June 26, 2026, which showed a smiling Florence Obinim officially receiving the keys to a pristine, brand-new white SUV. The vehicle was reportedly presented to her by corporate representatives from Service Machinery Ghana Limited (SMGL)—an immense gesture of corporate goodwill that has heavily triggered Obinim’s fury amidst their ongoing separation.

The Anatomy of a Public Marriage Collapse

Obinim’s public mockery exposes the deep financial friction and emotional resentment that has built up behind closed doors over their multi-decade marriage:

The "Uber" Defense Shattered: The root of Obinim’s immediate anger stems from Florence’s recent public statements regarding her lack of financial independence. Opening up about her marital distress, the Samaria singer had alleged that her music earnings were tightly controlled within the marriage, claiming she did not even own a personal vehicle and often had to rely on Uber and public transport.

The Bishop's Retaliation: Blasting her reaction to the SMGL gift, a furious Obinim fiercely rejected the narrative that he had left her stranded. "You claim you don’t have a car and I’ve kept quiet about it," the controversial clergyman fired back in a video reaction. "Look at the ugly car they’ve given you."

The Freedom Packaging: For Florence's massive block of supporters, the new luxury SUV represents an absolute symbol of personal liberation. Having recently packed out of the Bishop's residence, she confirmed this week that she is fully prepared to legally drop the "Obinim" surname if requested, signaling a total, uncompromised break from the union.
