HRM Apostle Chibuzor Breaks Down in tears

As Thousands of Students Under His Scholarship Face Uncertain Futures Over FG Ban On Benin Universities

In a display of emotional distress, His Royal Majesty (HRM) Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere, the esteemed General Overseer of Omega Power Ministry (OPM), broke down in tears over the recent federal government decision declaring all universities in Benin Republic, including ESM University, as “fake.”

The new policy has created a wave of despair among the hundreds of students who were beneficiaries of OPM’s scholarships, some of whom are in their final year of study.

“I could not hold my tears,” Apostle Chibuzor said, his voice trembling with anguish. “Seeing orphans and widows crying because of this new policy is heartbreaking. Many of these students are in their final year—how can they possibly start all over?”

Apostle Chinyere’s emotional response highlights the severity of the situation for over 650 students currently supported by OPM scholarships at ESM University. The situation is compounded by the fact that more than 4,000 students around the world rely on OPM scholarships to pursue their education.

The apostle’s tears were prompted by the fact that he had previously verified ESM University’s legitimacy with the Federal Ministry of Education. According to him, the Ministry had confirmed that students from ESM University would be recognized and eligible to undertake the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program. This confirmation was pivotal in his decision to invest heavily in the education of these students.

“This confirmation was crucial for us,” Apostle Chibuzor explained. “We paid the school fees based on this assurance. Now, the students are facing an uncertain future due to a policy that we were led to believe was not a risk.”

Apostle Chinyere, who himself did not have the opportunity to attend university due to financial constraints, has dedicated his life to helping underprivileged students. Utilizing funds from tithes and offerings collected by OPM, he established 35 free schools and provided thousands of scholarships to less privileged children, regardless of their religious affiliation.

“This initiative was built on faith and a commitment to help those who are less fortunate,” Apostle Chibuzor said. “We have invested so much into these students’ futures, and I believe that God will not let this money go to waste.”

In light of the new policy, Apostle Chibuzor has called upon the Nigerian authorities to integrate these students into Nigerian universities, allowing them to continue their education without interruption. His plea is driven by a deep sense of responsibility and empathy for the students who have now found themselves in an extremely challenging predicament.

“The least we can do is to ensure that these students are not left without options,” he urged. “They have worked so hard and sacrificed so much. We owe it to them to provide a path forward.”

The federal government’s policy has drawn widespread criticism and concern from various quarters, and Apostle Chibuzor’s heartfelt appeal adds a personal dimension to the growing call for a reconsideration of the new regulations. The outcome of this situation will be closely watched as stakeholders await a resolution that will impact thousands of students and their futures.
