Tonto Dikeh's husband, Olakunle Churchill wins big at West African Philanthropy Awards

Oladunni Olakunle Churchill, husband of actress, Tonto Dikeh-Churchill won an award for Charity and Enterprise at the West African Philanthropy Awards. He made a long speech after receiving the award and Mrs. Churchill posted it on Instagram. 

"Firstly, I'll like to thank God for a glorious opportunity to be a solution to my world. A special thanks to my team for Sharing this vision and putting all efforts to produce outstanding results. Also, to the organisers of this "event" .....West African philanthropist .

Simply put, philanthropy is the desire to promote the welfare of others. Its one that comes with a sense of deep birthed compassion for the lack of others and working to make peoples life easier, leaving them so much better than you met them and That's what I & my team stand for.

I'll give a little insight by talking about ....charity.

Everyone thrives for absolute greatness and personal achievements but there is only one kind of greatness that truly matters, not only here but in the life here after. Its the greatness that comes from the ability to identify a need in your world and work selflessly to meet that need. That is greatness at its very peak.

Its time for us to look away from ourselves, from that overwhelming cloud of just me and mine mentality that doesn't please God .

And so I enjoin you to join this chariot and be God's outstretched arms to those whom circumstances have left hopeless. Be that burning and shinning light of the world. A town built on a hilltop cannot be hidden(Mathew 5:14). No matter how little, lend a helping hand today. Remember , several drops..., Thank you once again. God bless you all," he said.
