Why Pastor Kumuyi Banned iPad & Android Devices In Deeper Life Church

The founder and the General
Superintendent of Deeper Life Bible
Church, Pastor William Folorunso
Kumuyi, has revealed why iOS (iPads,
iPhones) and Android devices were
banned in his Church some weeks ago.
A lot of criticisms had trailed the
decision of the pastor to prohibit the use
of smartphones in his Church.
However, according to Encomium Weekly,
the ban was placed by Pastor Kumuyi
because the members of the Church were
pretending to read their Bibles, but
instead they were surfing the web and
not paying attention to the sermon.
The headquarters of Deeper Life Bible
Church is situated at KM 42 on the busy
Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Nigeria.
Pastor Kumuyi is the author of several
books. In the early 1970s Kumuyi worked
as an education lecturer at the
University of Lagos.
He was born into a Christian family in
Erin-Ijesha, Osun State, Nigeria.
William Kumuyi completed his secondary
school education in 1961, and in 1962
started teaching mathematics at
Mayflower School in Ikenne, Ogun-State,
from where he proceeded to the
University of Ibadan. In 1967 he
graduated with a first-class honours
degree in mathematics. He became a
born-again Christian in April 1964.
Kumuyi remarried in October 2010 in
London, about 18 months after the
death of his first wife.
In April 2013, Kumuyi was named as one
of the “500 most powerful people on the
planet” and Deeper Christian Life
Ministry named as “the World’s largest
Megachurch” by Foreign Policy magazine.
