“Pastor Kumuyi is my greatest role model. He is the proprietor of my school. We have services in my school (Deeper Life).
“Any time he comes up to the stage to speak, I’m always awe about how he carries himself, talks and never afraid to say what needs to be said and how great he is and the respect people have for him,” she disclosed.
Th Anambra-born student also wished to meet the Deeper Life founder if given the opportunity.
Kamsiyochukwu added that former American presidential aspirant and renowned medical doctor, Dr Ben Carson was also her role model.
