Philanthropic clergy and Shepherd in charge of Champions Royal Assembly, based in Kubwa, Abuja, Bro Joshua Iginla, has put smile on the face of another Nollywood star, Ayo Emmanuel, widely known as Nollywood Police.
The actor was given a brand new N4.5 million Peugeot 301 on Sunday.
During the Sunday service at champions Royal Assembly’s City of Wonders, Kubwa, Abuja, the fiery prophet located him and said his problem was both spiritual and depression.
Iginla criticized those who blamed him for helping Nollywood stars, citing the fact that most of them live a make belief life and deserve help because piracy has ripped them of their hard earn money.
He said: “It amazes me when people criticize the fact that I help the movie industry.
“I have given cars and financial assistance to the poor, needy, church members and aides, but just a fraction to that industry as a means of encouraging them.
“Compare their lives to Hollywood stars and you will realize we don t really appreciate our own.
“I wept when Ayo Emmanuel sent me a text few weeks back that he was sick and needed financial assistance.
“I wept because these are the people that make us happy via home movies, yet they live a pathetic life.
“It’s my personal money I use so I don’t see why people complain.”
Iginla asked Emmanuel if he has a car and he said no.
He said he comes to church via commercial motorcycle, popularly known as okada, or church bus.
Immediately, Bro Iginla gave him a brand new wonder on wheel, a silver coloured Peugeot 301, which he got at N4.5 million.
The dazed actor burst into tears of joy.
The Nollywood actor has worked with veterans in the industry and has appeared in a lot of movies, with one of the latest being: “Dairy of the Triplets.”
