Penpushing reports that General Overseer of Victory Life Bible Church (VLBC), Apostle Achudume, accompanied by his wife, retinue of clerics from the church, could not hold back his appreciation for the 5-year-old media outfit.
‘I must say this openly, I want to appreciate Penpushing Media, the organization is doing well and has been doing a wonderful job. We appreciate the media crew for this live coverage globally. You will go places’, Achudume emphasized
Penpushing further reports that in similar vein, a veteran journalist and former Editor of Punch Newspapers, Alhaji Nojeem, gave kudos to the media organization, stressing that it has changed phase of journalism by adding value to the profession in the online industry
The General Overseer of the Victory Life Bible Church {VLBC) in his sermon, ‘What Will You be Remembered For”, pointed out that the erudite scholar did not only impact his world of academy which has taken him through many institutions of journalism in Nigeria and abroad, but has also impacted lives of hitherto hopeless students, drop outs and indeed widows in the church where he worships
Penpushing also reports that the clergyman used the deceased life in charging congregants to serve humanity the way he(Oso) served, whose death, he said was avoidable if there are good and motorable roads in the country.
The cleric reading from Nehemiah 13: 14 in the Bible enjoined those in power of authority to serve well, impact life the way and manner of the late academic did, stressing that he lived his life for many people, noting that he had opportunity to make money, but allowed self-contentment to be his watchword
Penpushing reports that Achudume emphasized that Oso will be long remembered for living for others, giving all he has to make students, friends, widows and all those who came across him, adding that he exhibited humility
‘For the immediate family of the late erudite scholar, his sudden and painful passage, nothwithstanding his indelible contributions and mark in the field of communication will for long remain a pacesetter difficult to be matched’’, he said
‘Oso was there for all day and night. For me, it is understatement to say that, he lived, breathed and bequeathed an impactful journalism development life which transcend to the facets of humanity. Adieu, great teacher of teachers’, Achudume stated
