Former Presidents, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and Dr. Goodluck Jonathan have extolled the virtues of the President of Loveworld Incorporated, also known as Christ Embassy Ministry, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, for his generosity and quest for youth leadership and excellence across the African continent.

They gave the commendation at the formal unveiling of the 2021 star prize Award winner and nine other nominees that made the Top 10 of the 2021 Future Africa Leaders Awards.

The Future Africa Leaders Foundation, organisers of the Future Africa Leaders Awards (FALA), is in its 9th edition.

Obasanjo, while thanking God for the life and impact of Pastor Oyakhilome, said he has made a great difference, impacting many lives both within the African continent and the world at large.

“I have no doubt in my mind that the purpose of God creating each and every one on earth is to make a difference wherever we may be. Pastor Chris has made a great difference in our world today.

“God has given us young men and young women of ability, of industry, who can lead us and turn what God has given to us to a great advantage, so that Africa will not be lagging behind among the continents of the world. What my brother Pastor Chris Oyakhilome is doing with the Future Africa Leaders Award is to identify, encourage and develop leadership that will make Africa great.

“It is true that the African continent is bedevilled with several challenges but this is not peculiar to the continent alone as others have their own challenges as well. So why is ours different? It is made different because we let others give our narrative. We do not state our situation as it is – we allow others to state our narratives for us. We must seize our own narratives and give our narrative as it is. God has endowed Africa with all we need, such that no one should go to bed hungry or in want”.

Obasanjo also stated: “Let me tell you, no one will make Africa great except Africans. If you expect anybody from outside to make Africa great for you, you are deceiving yourself. And once again, I want to congratulate him (Pastor Chris) for showing the way to many of us on what we can do to make Africa great.

“We have no reason to lose hope, we have all it takes to develop Africa as other continents have been developed. All we need is encouragement, the identification of those who will lead. Encouraging them and empowering them, mentoring them and monitoring them so that they will take us to the Promised Land,” he concluded.

In his remark, Jonathan, who was the Special Guest of Honour, praised African Youths as one of the continent’s most valuable assets.

He said: “Africa’s youthful population is one of the continent’s most valuable assets in the emerging 4th and 5th industrial eras. Our youths have demonstrated commitment and dedication to making Africa proud across the globe. On the African continent, the youths have not failed, but they can still do better to end the contemporary problems in the continent”.

Jonathan, who announced the star winner, added: “I believe that African youths are critical stakeholders in our quest for socio-economic transformation as a continent. They have the strength and possess the creativity to spur innovation for production, manufacturing and technological advancement”.

Earlier, in his welcome address, Pastor Oyakhilome‌ ‌highlighted‌ ‌the‌ ‌need‌ ‌for‌ ‌Africa‌ ‌and‌ ‌Africans‌ ‌to‌ ‌look‌ ‌within‌ ‌themselves‌ ‌in‌ their‌ ‌search‌ ‌and‌ ‌quest‌ ‌for‌ ‌solutions‌ ‌to‌ ‌their‌ ‌problems.‌

Oyakhilome‌ further encouraged‌ ‌every‌ ‌young‌ ‌‌African‌, ‌who‌ ‌is‌ ‌making‌ ‌a‌ ‌difference‌ ‌in‌ ‌various‌ ‌spheres‌ ‌of‌ ‌their‌ ‌respective‌ ‌African‌ ‌‌communities, ‌to‌ ‌do‌ ‌more‌.

He‌ ‌also‌ ‌highlighted‌ ‌the‌ ‌importance‌ ‌of‌ ‌technology‌ ‌and‌ ‌technological‌ ‌advancements‌ ‌as‌ ‌a‌ ‌vital‌ ‌tool‌ ‌and‌ ‌ingredient‌ ‌in‌ ‌solving‌ ‌peculiar‌ ‌African‌ ‌problems.‌ ‌

Cameroonian, Nervis Nzometiah Tetsop bagged the Star Award of $25,000 for his exceptional enthusiasm for youth leadership development and for motivating others to aspire for relevance through several workshops and seminars on career orientation, leadership, and impact opportunities through technology.
