"I want to state very clearly that very few people will do what you people are doing here. It's quite amazing and I will always continue to identify with you.

"By the power of God that has made it possible for me to be what I am today, I hereby adopt you all as my children. I will do for you what I can do for all my children. You will never ever go hungry again in your life.

"It is an experience for me to be here and definitely I will never forget you people. Don't play with your education, education is what will make you to stand out in life. The destiny of a man can only be delayed but it can't be denied." He stated.

Ogor also used the occasion to donate items provided by MTN Nigeria to the Orphanage through his influence.

Items donated include 10 cartons of Peak Milk, 10 cartons of Milo, 5 bags of Semovita, 10 bags of Ariel soap, 10 cartons of dettol soap, A Giant Samsung Refrigerator, standing fans, 20 mattresses.
