Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, aside from the cash gift, said he will sponsor Oluomachi Joseph Opara from Primary school to the University level. The talented boy is reported to be in Primary 4.
He added that he would not like to see Oluomachi in the streets hawking again, hence he pledged to be sending stipends for his feeding and upkeep every month.
In his words:
After much ado we finally found the handsome young boy from Owerri who sings like an angel, Master Olumachi Opara, and I have honoured my pledge.
He touched my life with his songs of praise and he inspired and brought hope to millions. May God continue to be with him and use him.
I call on all other prominent personalities and public figures that have made a similar pledge to him to please honor them and I reiterate my intention to be responsible for his school fees from now until he finishes University. We must ensure that his gift and talent does not go to waste.
Again there will be no more street hawking or selling of food items by the side of the road for him because I will also send him an allowance every month.
His golden voice, which is his gift from God, and his obvious love and passion for the Lord has certainly made a way for him and his life will NEVER be the same again.
I am so proud of this young man who is doing such a great work and who has said he wants to be a priest. I am proud of his parents too who have have weathered every storm, remained steadfast in their faith and trusted the Lord regardless of the challenging circumstances that they have faced and still face.
God is truly faithful and He honors and provides for His own. The case of this blessed and gifted boy and his wonderful family bears testimony to that! I am so excited and happy for them. To God alone be the glory!
