On His Meeting With President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf

My meeting with President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf was an honour and a very special moment in my life. Liberia was a pleasant experience, i was well hosted and celebrated by the people of the country.

I was one of the key note speakers at the KuKatornon Peace festival with the theme ” Let’s Maintain The Peace, promoting Non-violent Elections”, because of the forthcoming general elections. I spoke along side Vice-president Joseph Boakai.

We had a peace match at the Stadium in the capital city of Monrovia. I had a very successful meeting with President Sirleaf and her ministers. Some of the issues we talked about is our Agricultural Empowerment project and other philantropic issues. One of the highlights of the trip was when the Council of Chiefs of the Kamara community conferred me with a Chieftaincy title in a traditional ceremony. I was truly humbled by their benevolence, and warmth.

On How He Funds Big Church Foundation

During my visit to Liberia, i was able to visit the centre for the blind where we distributed medical eye glasses and other Items to them. We also went to some less privileged homes and communities to donate food stuffs and money to support them.This is our own little way of helping to alleviate the sad memories of the country’s civil war crisis.

The Big Church Foundation is funded from the 10% of all the revenue from the parent company – Big Church Group. It is a pledge we made at the early stage of the company to socially impact our immediate communities and the continent as a whole.
