A philanthropist has provided a decent accommodation for an elderly widow in Ebenebe town, Awka North Local Government Area of Anambra state.

Arnold Chukwuebuka Ekweoba donated a 2-bedroom bungalow to the woman identified as Philomena Ubaka and the moment was widely celebrated in the community.

 

Ubaka had been living with her children in a zinc hut until the wind of goodwill blew her way.

An NGO, Restore a Radiant Smile Foundation met with her during one of their outreaches and from then on her fortunes changed.

Ekweoba, while handing over the house key to Ubaka on Friday, March 5, 2021, revealed that he had never met the woman until the day of the handover.

A Foundation approached me with the woman’s story sometime last year. I was moved to tears and instantly ministered to by the Holy Spirit to become an instrument of joy to this unknown woman.

Immediately, I accepted the request and approved the construction of a befitting two-bedroom bungalow for the woman and her children. What we are doing here today is a divine call. I derive motivation in impacting lives positively. I have never met this family in my life and I’m grateful to God for using me to elevate their standard of living. Like I said earlier, this is a divine mandate and as the spirit directs, we would continue replicating these humanitarian efforts”.

Traditional ruler of Ebenebe Community, His Royal Majesty, Igwe Chris Emeka Nnaegbuna, in his remark during a courtesy call at his palace, described the benefactor’s gesture as uncommon. While appreciating Ekweoba, Igwe Nnaegbuna prayed to God to bless and elevate him to enviable heights.
