Is Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere For Real?

I was privileged to be a discussant in a radio programme in the nation’s capital where we discussed on the challenges affecting women in the country especially as it has to do with the monstrous issue of baby factories across the country and its effect on the pride and dignity of the Nigerian woman.

It should be noted that this issue of ‘baby factory’has become a problem which our body the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) has been fighting over the years hence our decision to feature in the radio programme. In the course of our discussion, the efforts of a clergy man in far away Rivers State was brought to focus especially as regards what he is doing to help Nigerian women not minding their tribe or religious affiliations. We were informed how this particular man single handedly built a Specialist Hospital to cater for the maternity needs of women especially those that were rescued from these fiendish people that are degrading womanhood.

After the programme, I had to make a research on what this man Apostle ChibuzorChinyere is doing and my discovery is something I believe is worth sharing so Nigerians will learn to emulate such kindness and also accord him the recognition he needs for the wonderful things he is doing in the Niger Delta region of the country.

It is worth knowing that Apostle ChibuzorChinyere has become a savior to most of these vulnerable women who have been debased by evil men all because of money. I read about a young girl that was rescued from the dungeon of these baby factory operators and was given the opportunity of having a safe delivery at the Specialist Hospital. I also discovered that she was not only given the opportunity of delivering her child in this world class facility but was also empowered by the founder and General Overseer of the Omega Power Ministries OPM to make her life better. What came to my mind was if this man Apostle ChibuzorChinyere is for real? If what I heard in the radio programme was a shock, I got a bigger shocker when I discovered that men of the Nigerian Police that raided one of these baby factories had to call Apostle Chinyere to take care of over thirty children and women that were rescued.

The question is how many so called men of God today can boast of such kindness? The Apostle in question cannot be said to be one of the most popular pastor like some others. Neither is he known to amass wealth for himself leading to ownership of private jets and so on as is evident among others that profess to being called by God.

As a member of the Federation of International Women Lawyers (FIDA) I have called on the leadership of our respected body to initiate ways to accord this clergy the recognition he deserves so others will emulate him in order to better the lots of the Nigerian woman who have been so traumatised by greedy individuals.

Worthy of note is that his philanthropic effort does not end in provision of qualitative health infrastructure for the Nigerian woman alone. He has also done so much in the area of education where he has built more than 12 free qualitative schools with feeding for the children! He is also known to have built free estates for repentant prostitutes whom he converted from theirdehumanising trade. This is not to talk of the large sum of money he has given these women to start businesses of their own!

I do not intend to line up the various noble activities of this fine gentleman but I wish to call o the Nigerian government and individuals to give this man the support he needs to continue with the good works he is doing. At a point I was worried how he does what he is doing without breaking down but I was consoled by the fact that God’s grace has kept him going all to the glory of the Almighty.

We at FIDA are proud of him and will not hesitate to identify with him and also promote this wonderful gestures so that our parent body will accord him the recognition he deserves for removing shame from the eyes of the helpless Nigerian women.
