He said: "Giving back to society is just part of me as I do that everyday either in the studio or on the street. God said that we should show love and that is what I am doing. Christmas is a season to show love and nothing pleases me more than helping others. I have visited IDPs and other orphanages before, so it is no big deal coming here.

"Moreover, I thank God for the children of Marvelous Anricia orphanage and the founder. By taking care of children not biological hers, she is bringing tremendous blessings upon her life, even as the biological parents have brought curses and untold hardships upon their lives for abandoning the little children who will grow up to become important dignitaries in society."

Also speaking, the proprietress of the orphanage home, Mrs Ann Chinelo Diboh, said that she was grateful to God for the donations. She said that she had to start up the orphanage home on May 17, 2016 following God's instruction.
