“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.”

A student of Osun State University, identified simply as Ademola, has narrated how she was assaulted after some some soldiers from the Army Depot, Osogbo invaded the halls of residence of students of the university.

Ademola, in a video shared by OsunDefenderNG, said the incident occurred while she was alone in her room preparing a meal.

According to her, she initially noticed the presence of soldiers around the area, but believed the situation had calmed down before the officers allegedly returned.

Recall that on Monday evening, some soldiers from the Army Depot, Osogbo, invaded halls of residence occupied by students of Osun State University, assaulted several students and carted away more than 60 mobile phones and other electronic gadgets.

Some female students were also reportedly stripped naked and forced to dance unclad by the soldiers, who were said to be among personnel that participated in the Army Depot’s passing-out parade held last Saturday.

Recounting the incident, she said, “My name is Ademola…, a student of Osun State University. I was in my hostel room cooking when I noticed they (soldiers) were around. After a while everything died down. However, later, we started hearing noise again.

“They started pointing their touch to my room and asked who was there and what were they doing this for. The next thing, they asked me to open my door and I opened the door.

“So, one of them asked how many of us was inside the room and I told him two. I also told him my roommate wasn’t around.”

While her emotions betrayed her, Ademola alleged that one of the soldiers then became physically aggressive.

“Then, he pinned me to my bathroom door, told me I would like it. He also told me not to shout. So, I begged him.

“I had to look for a way to get out of his hold and moved to the door. On moving to the door, I told him to move out. He asked if I wanted him to move out,” she added.

She further alleged that another soldier entered the room and attempted to restrain her.

She narrated, “While on that, his colleague came in and also told me to calm down, that I would love it and that I shouldn’t shout.

Dr Olusegun Osoba Dies

Osoba, who hailed from Ijebu Ode in Ogun State, died peacefully at his residence in the early hours of Thursday, May 14, 2026.

The announcement was contained in a statement issued by The Yusufu Bala Usman Institute in Zaria, Kaduna State.

The statement, signed by the Director of the institute, Norma Perchonock, read: “With heavy hearts but with gratitude for a life lived in the service of scholarship and humanity, the Yusufu Bala Usman Institute announces the death of our Chairman, Dr. Olusegun Osoba, who passed away peacefully today, 14th May 2026, at his residence in Ijebu Ode.

“He was 92 years old. Dr. Osoba was a rare scholar whose whole life was dedicated to teaching and research that was designed to educate his students, colleagues and the general public about the nature of the capitalist system and the structures of neo-colonialism that dominates the Nigerian state, and to propose ways of liberating the country from this odious system in order that its citizens may live their lives free from exploitation and oppression.

“His work in economic history was groundbreaking in many ways as he sought to expose the actual workings of the economic system that was holding back development in the country.

“His writings were wide ranging, from scholarly books and papers to articles and columns in newspapers that reached a wide audience. One of his major achievements was to author, together with his close comrade Yusufu Bala Usman, The Minority Report and Draft Constitution for the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1976.

“This document has had a profound impact on the various debates and discussions about the way forward for Nigeria.

“Segun is gone but he has left an enduring legacy and a shining example for patriotic Nigerians to emulate. Funeral arrangements will be as announced by the family.”
