David in the bible was a man who gladly plays his instrument in obscurity to his sheep. He was guiding them jealously till his sincerity made it to God’s heart and he was labelled by God as “MAN AFTER GOD’S HEART”

Anthony Abakporo, without the knowledge of his then pastor, hit the streets in 2010. Preaching and sharing with many of the love of God and salvation. He never sought anyone’s funds, never went to his then church for a kobo to bring people to church. He was doing it with his little earnings till 2012 when his then church had giant killers conference. In boldness he told his boss then who is today the Special Adviser to Buhari on education. To release a coaster bus to him because the bus returned from pick up point empty. Anthony Abakporo took the bus to Festac Town unannounced and filled up the coaster bus with people. This act he continued till a branch was planted in Festac Town. Anthony has refused to stop as he would often say: the more I save people the more am better as a person.

He moved to another level by going after drug addicts, this he did joyfully without reasonable funds available to rehabilitate and reintegrate the transformed. He was never discouraged by the rejection of the churches and cooperate bodies he pleaded to come assist in the beginning that never came. He was resolute and didn’t stop till family and friends saw reasons to fund him. Organizations started showing up and today he is known by the government in Amuwo Odofin LGA. And many in the locality.

Last december, he was awarded as one of the 50 most influential youths in Amuwo Odofin LGA. His award was handed him by the Amiwo Odofin LG Chairman, Engineer Valentine Buraimoh and was sponsored by the state House of Assembly Member, Hon Mojisola Ali Macaulay.

The man preferred the streets but God has not stopped lifting him in the last one year. He was picked in obscurity by Pastor Tony Rapu to automatically become the resident Pastor of GOD BLESS NIGERIA! A Humanitarian assembly that is the biggest in Africa in the area of picking the dejected and transforming them into responsible Nigerians. Rehabilitating drug addicts and many more. This appointment for him is a clear case of David in obscurity then enthroned.

Pastor “Oladele” as he is called at House of Freedom (Pastor Tony Rapu’s head of administration housing the churches).
Anthony Abakporo said in our of the interviews: I accept that name 100% and add it to my names.

On 12th of February at the Perfecto La Villa Hotels, Amuwo Odofin LGA, there was a next level for this great evangelist and street preacher for which publication is being made. He was awarded two prestigious awards namely: MAJOR SUPPORTER FOR YOUTHS DEVELOPMENT and ADVOCATE FOR PEACE. These prestigious Award put together by CELCE AFRICA, Organisers of the Amuwo Odofin Merit Awards was such with great pomp and amazing voting processes.

He was presented the awards by Dr. Benjamin Oluwatosin Olowojebutu, Chairman – UNILAG A=Alumni Association Lagos branch who incidentally was fellow recipient of the TIMES WATCH Awards with Anthony Abakporo. Both men were excited to see each other again in same Awards ceremony that brought them together at first. It was brothers hugging each other in joyous state as both achievers embraced tightly on stage. Dr Benjamin was awarded at Ilupeju for conducting 10,000 surgeries without complications and also free for various individuals in different Local Government.

Pastor Olawale speaking at the Amuwo Odofin Merit Awards encouraged other awardees to endeavour to come together and enable faster support for humanity in the Local Government.

We hear he has one more award to pick up this February, let’s keep our fingers crossed as we await the next award this good man is expected to be decorated with again.
