The Pastor of Champions Royal Assembly, Kubwa, Abuja, Joshua Iginla on Sunday gave out 22 cars and millions of naira ranging from N50,000 to N500,000.
Presenting
the cars, among which were 10 SUV cars to the beneficiaries, Iginla challenged
the well-to-do in the society to assist the less-privileged. The pastor, who
said that he had tasted poverty and knew how it felt, said the less-privileged
of today could become important personalities tomorrow. “My birthday is all
about giving to the needy. What I do here is just 10 per cent of what I do
secretly.
“I don’t give
to show up; I give to teach people and to provoke them to give. “I have many
people on scholarship, I have widows on my payroll, we have rescued prostitutes
and empowered them with skills acquisition programmes, I have orphans I am
taking care of. “I have schools of the handicapped that we have been assisting
and the physically-challenged students irrespective of their religions.
Gospel is practical,
not only spiritual,” he said. Iginla said this was the third time that he would
be giving out all his cars without leaving any one behind for himself.
Unveiling the books, Gov. Samuel Ortom of Benue, commended Iginla for his
humility and hard work in writing the books. Ortom, who recalled that he was a
school drop-out and later a motor park tout in Gboko, said God made him
Governor of Benue in spite of the “political persecution” he suffered.
“At this time
in my country’s history that there is dearth of leadership, I commit myself to
lead with the fear of God that will translate to equity, integrity, justice and
fairness. “I will strive to unite the people of this country,” he said.
The occasion
was attended by Senators Grace Bent, Anthony Kila and Effiong Bob, Onyeka
Onwenu, Tope Alabi and Chris Morgan. There were also 16 Nollywood actors who
attended the service, including Zack Orji, Francis Duru, Alex Usifo and Fathia
Balogun, six of whom were beneficiaries of the car gifts.
