Tributes continued to pour in for business trailblazer, philanthropist and the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, who died Thursday at the age of 82.
Iwuanyanwu left an indelible imprint on Nigeria’s politics, industrial and humanitarian services. An icon, pan Nigerian, national colossus, he was.
Penning down an emotional-laden tributes, the founder of Omega Power Ministries (OPM) and the king of Ikwu Orie Ohanku Ndoki Autonomous Community in Ukwa East LGA of Abia State, His Royal Majesty King Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere expressed deep grief over the death of Iwuanyanwu, who he said has left an imprint and generosity of spirit extended beyond Ndigbo and resonated across tribe, religion and race.
Reflecting on Iwuanyanwu’s life and philanthropy, Apostle said:
“The President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, a great man has gone to meet Our Lord.
“A man God used to raise many Igbo billionaires.
“A man that has helped many less privileged.
‘An industrialist per excellence.
“A detribalized Nigerian.
“Your name can not be easily forgotten.’
As a businessman Iwuanyanwu saw around corners, as a philanthropist he saw the problems in the world and tried to fix them, as a leader he saw the possibility of shared commitment and better nation. As a husband, father and friend he saw the potential in each and everyone.
