A few blurbs in the local media, Fischer / Spirit magazine and on Geist.com, helped spread the word

in the early days, but our customer base, which grew in the first year, largely through word of

mouth by our customers and their WOW Gold. While the early

success was certainly exciting, it was overwhelming. About halfway through the year, my partner had

to give up her share in the company because of family conflicts. By the time we meet in the final

quarter of the Buy WOW Gold (also known as the busiest time),
I was overseeing all aspects of the company, including production, which I knew nothing about

Aion Gold. Fortunately, the sewers were in front of me with

very happy about our success Metin2 Yang, and they were very

helpful in navigating me in the next year. kiss

This is reliable and authentic good news for all well wishers in the house.

Kumuyi remarries church leader in London.

I am sure this news would have been on NL home page if it was a scandal.  Click on the guardian home page in the link below for the wedding picture.

General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi took a new wife last week in London. When the news broke, it sparked mixed reactions. While some felt it was in order, not a few wondered why the 71-year old cleric needed a new wife. The church has opened up on the turn of event, reports Assistant Editor (News) OLUKOREDE YISHAU
Dressed in a modest suit, Pastor William Kumuyi and Esther Blaize , clad in a pink and purple skirt suit, exchanged the marriage vow last Wednesday. Guests were later ushered into the Crowne Plaza Hotel, London for a reception ceremony. And just like that, the General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry got married for the second time. Two days ago, key leaders of the church across the country, who were not privileged to attend the modest ceremony, were made to watch the video of the proceedings.
Pastor Kumuyi lost his first wife, Biodun on April 11 last year. He took the news with calm. He even went on to handle the convention and shocked many by preaching at the funeral of his late wife.
At the time of her death, Kumuyi was 70 years old. When asked last year if he was going to take a new wife, he said it was too early to think of that. With his age, not a few also thought he might just stay unmarried for the rest of his life.
A statement by the church yesterday said Kumuyi’s decision to remarry was not entirely his. The statement endorsed on his behalf by the church’s Secretary, Pastor L Nnadozie said his marriage to Esther sparked joy and spontaneous happiness among members of the church.
The statement reads: “Pastor Kumuyi had lost his wife, Biodun in April last year. The death of the woman affectionately called ‘mummy’ or ‘mama’ by members of the church, became a cause for concern for leaders in the church as she was almost inseparable from her husband. The church leaders were so concerned that the pastor must not remain lonely, that they led a delegation to encourage him to begin praying to God to give him another wife. The leaders also began praying for their pastor to get another partner. Although initially reluctant, Pastor Kumuyi later prayed and testified to the leaders that God had answered their prayers. This is what culminated in the marriage ceremony in London.”
The statement revealed that the new wife, whose other names are Folashade Aduke, is the National and International Woman Co-odinator of the church. She is 65. And wait for this: she was never married, because, according to Nnadozie, she committed her life to the Lord.

That information is false.  Stop reading from these mushroom news outlets.

The wife is 65, so it is not about SEX. Thank God for that.

Happy married life to Pastor W.F Kumuyi and Sister Folashade Esther Kumuyi. There is nothing wrong in Kumuyi's remarriage it scripturally right. I have a father who refused to remarry after the death of my mum. We encouraged him to remarry. This is 19 years after the death of my mum he stood his ground not to remarry. While my friends father remarried just under 12 months after the death of his mum. Will anybody on Nairaland be happy to hear that (, fell into adultery). He has shaped many lives, what he needs now is our moral and spiritual support.

Apostle Paul in his treatise on Marriage (1 Cor 7) never specified the length of time to stay before remarrying after the death of a spouse, May we all live long to a good old age with our spouses that we started out together.

I him and the new wife a peaceful married life.

Oh, i'm gladys for him and the church then. Again i say, happy and fruitful married life pastor sir. Enjoy, you the son of the King.
1Thessalonians 4v13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
Baba is NOT PERMITTED to sorrow like the hopeless sinners.

You are right, Baba is NOT PERMITTED to sorrow like the hopeless sinners. I can understand that a lot of our brethren are still mourning the transition of sis. Biodun but we have to realise that she is happier in heaven right now and life has to continue with bro. Kumuyi. The Bible says To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, so let us ensure we all make it to the promise land while we still have breath.
Re: Pastor William Kumuyi (Deeper Life) Remarries by myteacher(m): 1:13pm On Oct 28, 2010
I've just read the stuff on The Nation.

Thank God he's remarried. Scripturally, the man of God is allowed to do that. It's obvious from his comments about the union that companionship is principal concering the marriage.

For those wondering if it's a sweet sixteen or widower too, the report says the new wife is a 65 year old mama who has never been married before - virtually committed to the Lord all her life long.

http://thenationonlineng.net/web3/news/17253.html

God bless the union and God bless the man of God.

How are you sure that your source got its facts right considering the fact that it gave the wrong age of the pastor?

Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi is founder and General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church (DLBC) in Gbagada, Lagos, the capital of Nigeria. In the mid-1980s, the church ranked as "the third largest single congregation" in the world.[1][2] He was born in 1941 in the then Western Region of Nigeria, and became a 'Born again Christian' in 1964.

Baba is only 69 and married, we now know, to a 65year old never married woman. i wish them all the bliss marriage can bring!

Dr Kitaun:

must Kumuyi get married ?

if it were Kumuyi that died, would the late wife had ever remarried ?

there are a lot of who is who in Nigeria of his age today that lost their wives yet they NEVER remarried
na wao . . .well, they say THOU MUST NOT JUDGE MEN OF GOD  lipsrsealed


i withdraw this post with all humility, moreso based on the fact that baba is a fellow EX-may ! grin

@Dr Kit

Eku ojo meta o.

Good that you withdrew your earlier comment.

Initially, i was shocked even though what he did was scriptural correct. In my own opinion, beside Apostle Ayo Babalola(of blessed memory), he's the next best in Africa. I used to have serious issues with their doctrine in those days but he's the same man we knew for over 30 years. Consistent with no blemish unlike the other noisemakers.

Immediately i knew he is married to a 65 years old, i was happy because i knew he wont marry because of yeye flesh but companionship.

Well congrats to him

My question though is why did they all try to make Pastor Ighodalo look bad when he remarried?

By they all, who do you mean by they all? Are you referring to the UN leaders' reactions or the state governors?
But for me, i'll literally ask "Do you want to compare sleep to death?" the two cases are so different if i correctly remember what i read.

To the pastor, I have this admonition in the words of James Taylor who said: 'Let no cross be considered too heavy to be borne in following Christ, no loss too great to be sustained for Christ, and no path too holy in going after Christ' Sir, do not be distracted by sarcastic comments and press lies. You are a challenge to the youths and preachers of your generation. This new experience of your life will make you higher, deeper and richer in the knowledge of Christ.
Re: Pastor William Kumuyi (Deeper Life) Remarries by TOUCHNOT(m): 1:53pm On Nov 03, 2010
I also have a word for the new Mummy Kumuyi, Mrs. Esther Folashade Kumuyi. She is here at this time because God wants it so. With all due respect, I wish to say that she should try to heal the wound caused by the home call of Mrs. Abiodun Kumuyi. She has a dual role to play. She is not just the wife of the General Superintendent, she is also the pastor of the women's wing of the church and both duties must be well discharged. But there is a caveat. She must not succumb to the pressure to imitate the late Mrs Abiodun Kumuyi. Originality and distinction should be her watch word. The church must also understand that there will be a lot of differences since people are physically, genetically, biologically and psychologically different. In fact, spiritual levels also differ. Mrs. Esther Kumuyi can never be Mrs. Biodun Kumuyi and the church must come to terms with that. They should therefore show love, cooperation, respect and submission to her leadership. Carnal comparison, gossiping and backbiting should be avoided.
Re: Pastor William Kumuyi (Deeper Life) Remarries by Zodiac61(m): 8:12pm On Nov 03, 2010
what is the big deal about a widower getting remarried?
Man's wife died - man remarries. Happens all over the world every day.
Just because said man is a self-proclaimed man of god does not make said remarriage newsworthy.
There are far more problems in Nigeria than the proclivities of a man who cannot wait a decent time after the
death of his first wife to get hitched again.

Re: Pastor William Kumuyi (Deeper Life) Remarries by MARTOIJI: 11:40am On Nov 09, 2010
All these men of God are just fake. This is a pastor who preaches salvation via poverty and self denial and yet he is always in silk suits, eating the choices food and meet. See im cheek
That apart, how can this bloke convince the whole world he has not either (1). being cheating on his late wife b4 her death  or (2). been eyeing this babe for a long time and having wet dream about her.
At his age, with his position in his church and his claimed 'holiness', it is my considered opinion that he will mourn for 12 months. 6 months is too short for courtship and considering that he lives in 9ja and not UK. Who pimped her to him? How did they meet? So he want us to believe that while he was mourning, the holy spirit showed hem the babe. HABA!!!!  G.OOOOOOO!!!!! I just hope the babe is over 50 as he has to prepare to learn to JEDI or else a younger dude will help him.
AYE YI MA LE O. TENIKU LO SEGBE!!!
