It was shock and celebration, and tears of
joy flowed freely as Dr. Chris Okafor of Mountain of Liberation and Miracle
Ministries a.k.a Liberation City Church shocked “Save Nollywood Actors
Foundation” with a cash donation of 3.5million Naira!
Save Nollywood Actors Foundation was
founded on the premise of consolidating expedited relief efforts to Nollywood
Actors and other entertainers who may be terminally ill.
You’ll recall that recently, most Nollywood actors
and other entertainers had gone public seeking financial help to enable them
receive precise medical attention for their ailments.
As of today, more than 26 entertainers are
terminally ill and need urgent medical attention. We have names like Princes
James Uche, Obi Madubuogu (King of Musanga), Theodor Anyanji, Joe Layode
(whose leg has been amputated, Tony Akposhere,
Ernest Asuzu, etc.
Thank God for Leo Mezie who miraculously made it
through after a massive campaign to save his life. Others weren’t so lucky-
Muna Obiekwe, Ashley Nwosu, Peter Bunor, Elder Maya Njubigbo, Festus Aguebor,
OJB Jezreel and Chaz B (OAP) of Rhythm FM who later lost his own battle as
well- all after successful kidney transplants, and the list goes on an on.
According to one Mr. Brown, a Freelance
journalist who seems to know a lot about the ministry, the man of God for years
had accurately prophesied events in the entertainment industry, including the
untimely deaths of its practitioners. This time around, he chose to go a little
further than accurate prophecy and actually intervene.
The man of God laid hands on the sick
entertainers, offering fervent prayers and promising to be a lifetime
intercessor and prayer partner for the entertainment industry. He admonished
the actors to live right and always trust in the Lord.
The greatest shock came when a huge parcel was
handed the man of God from one of his pastors. It had a bold inscription on it,
and it was 3.5million Naira in cash! The church went wild in ecstatic frenzy as
the flabbergasted entertainers weep openly.
Through his Chris Okafor Humanity Foundation, the
man of God has nearly 25 students on scholarship in universities alone, he
makes both cash and food donations to widows virtually every other week, the
Foundation has spent millions of Naira on medical bills for stranded patients
or patients needing help with special treatment abroad, the Foundation
routinely provides shelter and sundry empowerment programs to the indigent, all
year round. According to the man of God, Dr. Chris Okafor, “Ministry for me is
meaningless without meaningful philanthropy”.
