Pastor
Joshua Iginla, the Senior Pastor of Champions Royal Assembly, Kubwa, Abuja has
explained why he gave out 32 cars to Nollywood actors and actresses and why he
does several other donations on his birthday yearly. Iginla said it is the way
of giving back to the society, and he is aware that a man can only live in one
house at once and drive just a car at once. But more importantly, he said he
choose to bless Nollywood acts because most of them are poor, unlike their fans
thinking, that they are super rich. Hear him;
“So
this is my own way of correcting the wrong impression,” Iginla said, adding
that the fruits of Nollywood artistes are being reaped by pirates and
challenged government to do some¬thing to arrest it:
“Nollywood
actors and actresses are our ambassadors; they have projected the image of this
country positively and so they deserve to be treated well.
“I have not seen some of the ben¬eficiaries
before in my life or spoken to them. I’m seeing many of them for the first time
today. I am seeing Jide Kosoko for the first time.
“It
doesn’t matter to me if I trek home as I have given even the car that I
personally drive. I can only drive one car and live in one house at a time.
This understanding is what has taught me that when I die, others will inherit
my assets. The beauty of life is not in its duration but in its donation.''
Iginla
also gave out cash running into several millions of naira to the aged, widows,
orphanages and also offered scholarship to orphans from nursery school to
university level.
