One Year Ago, I Took This Step Of Faith In Kogi [pics] by Interesting15(op): 7:36am On Aug 30
by Sunday-Akanni M.

This time last year, I was wrapping up my NYSC journey in Lokoja, Kogi State.

For the first time in my life, I stepped out of the comfort of the South-West, where I was born and raised with loved ones, into the northern part of the country where I knew no one. But I knew God, and I carried God’s presence with me.

Right from orientation camp, the wisdom of God in Christ began to guide me on how to maximize my experience. One of the results was the favor I received from NYSC officials to stand before fellow corps members and preach God’s Word during one of the morning devotion sessions.

During my service year in Lokoja, it was common for corps members to hold tightly to their monthly stipends because of the realities of post-NYSC life — job hunting and all that comes with it. But I took steps of faith. I invested my resources in personal community development projects to better the lives of the people of Kogi State. By God’s grace, I was able to:

- Organize an Inter-Secondary School Debate Competition and launch a 4-month Digital Skills Empowerment Scheme for young people in Lokoja, Kogi State.
- Lead a sensitization campaign for traders at Old Market, Lokoja, which also included the donation of a brand-new metal recycling bin for plastics and cans. The focus was to raise awareness about environmental cleanliness and how our actions and inactions contribute to climate change.
- Assist residents of Cemetery Junction Community to renovate their dilapidated borehole, so they would no longer struggle to access clean water.
- Expose young people in Kogi to 21st-century skills and information. For several weeks, I consistently showed up to teach digital skills such as cybersecurity and networking.
- Organize the Talent To Prosperity Conference in Lokoja, where over 100 youths, mostly serving corps members, were equipped with practical knowledge on topics like Leveraging AI for Wealth Creation and Leveraging Established Institutions for Talent Utilization.

At the end of my service year, I was honored with both the Lokoja Local Government Award and the Kogi State Government Award, which qualified me for consideration for the prestigious Nigerian Presidential Award.

Finally, I want to encourage every believer out there to cultivate faith that drives you to embark on massive projects, even when you don’t yet have the resources, projects that will help people and bring glory to our Lord.

By God’s grace, I am a preacher engaged in ecclesiastical ministry. But I’ve also learned the Kingdom template modeled by our Lord Jesus and by apostolic fathers like Paul, whose ministry was not restricted to the four walls of a religious building. In addition to my ministerial responsibilities, I founded Talent To Prosperity Network — a purpose-driven enterprise focused on helping individuals, especially young people, discover, develop, and deploy their innate talents for personal growth, societal impact, and economic empowerment; as well as AI For Orphans — an NGO mobilizing Artificial Intelligence for the empowerment of orphans.

To God be the glory!

Commendable personality. Keep up the good work.

However, do not believe the climate change crap that whites fed you, it's a scam. When you do your research you will find out.

Start with carbon prints in Kenya and land grabbing

I am sure you believe a virgin can get pregnant and give birth; you also believe an individual lived three days in the belly of a whale, suspending acids in the stomach. Climate change should be pretty obvious, I would think?

Otem is from Kogi too and has currently damaged your religion so much Mr Akanni. Many people are already free from mind slavery in Nigeria through Otem now. Yahweh is currently in a spiritual cage. Your eyes will soon be open.
