"Happy birthday Pastor WF Kumuyi born 06 06 1941 Erin Ijesa. Taught Mathematics under Dr Tai Solarin in Mayflower School in 1962.
"Started his Ministry in Unilag with his 15 Students in 1973. Expelled from his main church in 1975 for preaching Baptism of Holy Spirit. He then turned his Ministry to Deeper Life Bible Ministry. His doctrine is Holiness. . . . . the rest is history.
"The Great Pastor is 80 today !!! Congratulations and happy birthday to you. Best wishes !!!"

While some reacted to the fact that he was expelled and his religious teaching, others went on to shower him good wishes.

FJ Akinnagbe reacted:

"He never mentioned the name of church that expelled him for teaching baptism of the holy spirit. Maybe he was associating with Jehovah's witnesses."
