Eighteen months after he lost his wife, the superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi, has found love again.

The wedding, which happened outside the spotlight, was reported to have taken place in the UK, last Wednesday. However, the bride, who sources identified as Esther, is said to be a member of his church. But not much else is known about her, or about their courtship. Details of the wedding ceremony, including venue and attendance, officiating priests, protocols, were closely guarded.

Responding to a question whether he would remarry after his late wife, Biodun, passed away, the man of God told reporters that it was too early to think of a replacement. It was a highly emotional moment for him, as the bad news came to him while he was delivering a sermon during the church’s Easter retreat last year.

Mrs. Kumuyi who died at 57 in the early hours of Saturday, April 11, 2009 at her residence in the International Bible Training Centre, Ayobo, Ipaja, Lagos, following a brief illness, was the National Woman Co-ordinator of the church. She was also International Co-ordinator of the women ministry in Africa and other continents where the church has branches, and was Editor-in-Chief of the well-circulated Women Mirror magazine published by the church.

Pastor Kumuyi, 71, was introduced to the Apostolic Faith Church, and became born again on Sunday, April 5, 1964. He started the Deeper Life Bible Church, which now has over one million members in more than sixty countries around the world, as a 15-member Bible Study group in Kumuyi’s official quarters (Flat 2) at the University of Lagos in August, 1973. Kumuyi was at the time a Mathematics lecturer in the university.

Kumuyi is the latest entrant to the fold of pastors who have new wives: Pastor Taiwo Odukoya of the Fountain of Life Church, Pastor Chris Okotie of the Household of God, and Pastor Ituah Ighodalo of the Trinity House. Only Odukoya, like Kumuyi, remarried after losing his wife, Bimbo.

KunleOshob:


At old age what one really soughts in marriage is companionship and NOT just sex. Sex is secondary at that age,

I would mute that this marriage is more of a companionship thing than sex.  

Congrats to the General Superintedent, maybe this time around baba would relax on the stringent doctrines he preaches in his church.

1 Kings 1:1-2 New Living Translation  (©2007):


¹King David was now very old, and no matter how many blankets covered him, he could not keep warm

²So his advisers told him,

"Let us find a young virgin to wait on you and look after you, my lord. She will lie in your arms and keep you warm."

I've heard several people (including media publications) claim pst Kumuyi and Pst Adeboye where retired "profs" or university "Dons" when in actual fact they where just lecturers.

A professor is a type of senior teacher; the precise meaning of the word varies by country. Literally, professor is Latin for a "person who professes to be an expert in some art or science, teacher of high rank"[1]. In most English-speaking nations professor is the title only of a senior academic who holds a departmental chair (especially as head of the department), or a personal chair awarded specifically to that individual. However, in the United States and Canada the title of professor is given to a much larger group of senior teachers in two- and four-year colleges and universities.

In most countries on the European mainland, such as Germany, France, Poland, Spain, Italy, The Netherlands and the Scandinavian countries, the usage of professor as a legal title is limited in much the same way as in the Commonwealth countries, i.e. it is reserved for someone who holds a chair.

In Spain, Portugal and Latin America (Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking), the term professor (profesor / professor) is used for any one who teaches at a school, institute, technical school, vocational school, college, or university, regardless of the level of the subject matter taught or the level or ages of the students. This includes those teaching at the grade/elementary school, middle school, and high school levels. However, when the professor teaches at a university, they are specifically called a "university professor"; when the professor holds a chair, then catedrático is used. However, it is common to also call university professors just "profesor" (Spanish) or "professor" (Portuguese).

In addition to people holding the proper academic title, universities in many countries may also bestow famous artists, athletes and foreign dignitaries with the title honorary professor, even if these persons don't have the academic qualifications that normally would be needed for a professorship. However, such "professors" are usually not expected to do any academic work for the university in question.

Oh, sorry about that. You didnt specify in your post so I assumed you where talking about kumuyi.

I've heard several people (including media publications) claim pst Kumuyi and Pst Adeboye where retired "profs" or university "Dons" when in actual fact they where just lecturers.

Once again, I apologise to you my friend.

Nice, bold move. Better than bleeping 'Nicodemusly' or wanking. Thumbs up, pastor!
