Veteran Nollywood actors, Jide Kosoko, Sunday Omobolanle aka Papi Luwe and Alex Usifo are among celebrities who benefited from cleric, Joshua Iginla‘s largesse this year.The Senior Pastor of Champions Royal Assembly, Kubwa, Abuja, who is known for his philanthropic nature on Sunday, gave out 32 cars including 16 SUVs to celebrate his birthday.
Iginla also gave out money running into several millions of naira to the aged, widows, orphanage homes and scholarships to orphans from nursery school to university.
Six Nollywood actors and actresses got Hummer Jeep 3 series, Mercedes G-Wagon and Mercedes CLS 550.
They include Jide Kosoko, Francis Duru, Alex Usifo, Ngozi Osondu, Thelma Nwosu and Sunday Omobolanle aka Papi Luwe.
Iginla said he gave cars to the Nollywood actors because many of them were poor but people erroneously think they were rich. According to him, the fruit of the Nollywood artistes were being reaped by pirates and challenged government to do something to arrest it.
‘The Nollywood actors and actresses are our ambassadors; they have projected the image of this country positively,’ he said. ‘I’m seeing many of them for the first time today. I am seeing Jide Kosoko for the first time.‘
Kosoko, who confirmed he was meeting Iginla for the first time, commended him for his philanthropy.
Iginla had,
in 2015, given 18 cars and millions of naira as birthday gifts to people to
celebrate his birthday.
