For someone who considers herself not too shabby with words, I’m not too sure how to introduce this interview. Mrs. Kemi Oyedepo has mirrored humility to me in a way that makes me short of words…literally. You already know the surname, so you can understand my shock when shortly before we got married a few years ago, the hubby to be (now the hubby) told me that she had contacted him on Facebook and would like to speak to me. I was like: Are you for real? She was not even in the country! But she sent her number and we talked. I asked questions and she was all too willing to answer.
Flash forward a few years later and I heard she was living in Nigeria. I was glad, but knowing how busy her schedule is, I was sceptical about asking her about an interview for the blog. When I finally did, she was pretty excited about it, and kept apologizing when she couldn’t meet the initial timeline we agreed upon.
She was like: “Pst. Laju, I’m so sorry, will work on it now.”
In my mind, I was like: “I no reach o, see respect.”
Kemi Oyedepo is beyond the surname. And although she is married to Pst. David Oyedepo (Jnr), the Resident Pastor of Winners Chapel Int’l, Canaanland Ota, and into one of the most respected families of our time, she is so much more than that. There is a depth, a wisdom and a heart that can only come from above. I could go on and on, but I think you should see for yourself.
I’m sure you’d be as blessed as I was!
