“Are You Tired Of Me?”-Pastor Kumuyi Reacts Angrily As Pressure To Quit Grows Among Church Members [VIDEO]
The General Superintendent of Deeper Christian Life Ministry, Pastor William Kumuyi, has addressed the issue of succession in the church, saying he would not be pressured or controlled by anyone
Speaking at the leaders’ meeting of the church, the clergyman made it clear that he would continue to lead with conviction and would not be pressured to quit his leadership of the church.
Questioning recent emphasis by some church members on the topic of succession, Pastor Kumuyi said: “I’m wondering why this young man is emphasising successor, successor. Are they tired of me? Are you tired of me?
“Anyone trying to control me, I will not take it; not even from my wife. I am the head of the home.
“I have been preaching before I married my first wife, and even before I married the second wife after the first passed away.
“I stand where I stand with conviction, and nobody will put me under.”
Kumuyi recalled that a leader in the church had mentioned succession twice in a recent teaching.
He said while he initially chose not to comment, those that are close to him know the extent of his commitment to work in the ministry.
He identified some Bible characters and their successors, noting that it was God who chose successors for them.
Kumuyi, who was visibly pained that some members of the church did not seem to like seeing him around, said: “You are not going to fight your shepherd, your pilot. I reject any member of the church, whether you are a worker, choir member, or security person, who tries to control me.
“I don’t generally sleep until 2 a.m., sometimes 2:30 a.m., digging into the Word and preparing to give my best to the church. Yet there are some people who still want to restrict where I preach, how I preach, and how long I preach. I will not take that,” he said.
The preacher urged church members and workers — including the choir, ushers, security teams, and family members — not to attempt to weaken his convictions.
“Don’t try to kill my conviction. You will not succeed. It will only make me resist you more and still teach the truth.
“When we get to the other side, you will not say, ‘He didn’t tell us.’ I told you, I am telling you, and I will keep on telling you,” Kumuyi declared.
He recounted how he spent so much time digging into God’s word just to give the church the best, saying: “If God gives you a pastor that is still very active at this age, with a good voice running everywhere to preach the gospel and you are asking for a successor, it makes me think you are tired of seeing me around.
“You don’t want to make me feel I’m imposing myself on you.”
Declaring that a successor is coming, he said: “When the time comes, God will choose a man after His own heart. Don’t try to drive me away, even though I know you cannot.”
He added that unlearning unproductive practices was necessary for spiritual growth, stressing that opposition to the pastor’s God-given mandate was “useless” and without reward in heaven.
“I will keep on teaching until I go.”

Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide (Winners’ Chapel), has defended his ministry’s practices and origins, asserting that its founding and key decisions, including the acquisition of his private aircraft, were guided by direct divine instructions.
In a video clip circulating on social media, Bishop Oyedepo dismissed any claims of a “co-founder” of the ministry, stating, “This ministry has no co-founder. The first one to hear the mission is this young lady [pointing to his wife],” referring to his wife.
He said that all the founding principles and “12 pillars” of the commission were given to him directly by God, not by men.
The cleric also addressed the often-criticised topic of his private jets, asserting that the decision to acquire them was not his own.
“It was not a discussion. It was God who told me it’s time to get the aircraft,” he said.
Oyedepo also touched on the church’s employment policies, emphasising that the ministry is not run in a loose or informal manner.
He stated that all staff, regardless of their claims of a divine calling, must go through a formal process. “You write an application, you do an interview, you get an employment letter, you respond,” he said.

Google’s algorithm appears to misrepresent this fact by linking Seyi Tinubu to Senator Oluremi Tinubu, likely due to her high visibility as the First Lady and long-standing senator
Claim: Seyi Tinubu’s biological mother is Bunmi Oshonaike, not Senator Oluremi Tinubu, as incorrectly displayed in some Google search results.
Findings
Seyi Tinubu, the son of Nigeria’s President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is often inaccurately portrayed in online search results as the biological son of Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
However, reliable sources and historical records clarify that Seyi Tinubu’s biological mother is Bunmi Oshonaike, a former air hostess.
Bunmi Oshonaike was married to Bola Tinubu before his current wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu. The marriage produced Seyi Tinubu before the union dissolved. Subsequently, Bola Tinubu married Senator Oluremi Tinubu, who became Seyi’s stepmother. While Oluremi Tinubu plays a prominent role in Seyi’s life, particularly given her public profile, she is not his biological mother.
Google’s algorithm appears to misrepresent this fact by linking Seyi Tinubu to Senator Oluremi Tinubu, likely due to her high visibility as the First Lady and long-standing senator. This highlights the need for better contextual accuracy in automated search results to prevent the spread of misinformation.
Final Verdict.
The claim is true: Seyi Tinubu’s biological mother is Bunmi Oshonaike, not Senator Oluremi Tinubu.
Who is Bunmi Oshonaike?
Bunmi Oshonaike, a former air hostess with the defunct Nigeria Airways, is the biological mother of Seyi Tinubu, the son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. This fact clarifies the common misconception that Senator Oluremi Tinubu is Seyi Tinubu’s mother. Nigerians are widely aware of this distinction.
Seyi Tinubu has celebrated his biological mother’s birthday publicly, including publishing tributes in national newspapers since 2022, further affirming her role as his mother.
Her ethnicity is Yoruba, originating from the southwestern region of Nigeria. Although unconfirmed sources suggest that she hails from Lagos State, there are no detailed accounts of her biography available online.
Bunmi is 65 years old as of 2024. This calculation is based on her 60th birthday, which was celebrated and published by THISDAY Newspaper on November 11, 2019. This publication confirms her birth year, making her age 65 in 2024
