OPM Pastor Provides Touching Update on Veteran Actor Kenneth Aguba's Well-being
The General Overseer of Omega Power Ministries (OPM), Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere, has given the public a fresh and emotional update on the condition of veteran Nollywood actor Kenneth Aguba. This comes years after the pastor's unsuccessful attempt to find a wife for the actor, highlighting the ongoing care and support provided by the church.
Relocation to Church Property in Enugu After Caregiver Issues
Apostle Chibuzor disclosed that he relocated Aguba to a church-owned property in Enugu following persistent problems with caregivers and the actor's refusal to accept a recommended wife from Nigeria. The pastor explained that Aguba had driven away previous caregivers, leading to the decision to move him to a more stable environment within the church compound.
"I relocated him to a church property in Enugu, where I provided him with an apartment inside the church compound," Apostle Chibuzor stated in a Facebook post dated March 31, 2026. "As of today, Aguba is still there under my care."
Comprehensive Care and Medical Support Provided
The OPM pastor outlined the extensive support being provided to Aguba, emphasizing that all his needs are being met through church resources. This includes monthly provisions for feeding, clothing, medical care, and general upkeep. Notably, Apostle Chibuzor recently sent ₦300,000 for Aguba's medical treatment following a check-up just two weeks prior.
To address the caregiver situation, the wife of an OPM Regional Pastor has been assigned to look after Aguba, performing duties such as cooking, washing, and cleaning without accepting any salary despite the pastor's insistence on payment.
Pastor's Emotional Commitment and Burial Promise
Apostle Chibuzor expressed deep personal commitment to Aguba's welfare, describing the actor as family and expressing concern that releasing him fully back to Enugu might result in him returning to the streets where he was originally found. The pastor made a solemn promise regarding Aguba's future.
"AGUBA IS NOW MY FAMILY. I will continue to take care of him until the Lord calls him home," Apostle Chibuzor declared. "And by the grace of God, the church will also take responsibility for his burial..."
Background: From Streets to Sanctuary
Recall that in 2022, Apostle Chibuzor rescued Aguba from the streets, providing him with accommodation and attempting to arrange a marriage. The effort to find Aguba a wife failed due to the actor's specific insistence on marrying a pure woman from Israel, rather than accepting a Nigerian bride as recommended by the pastor.
The pastor recounted how he had enjoyed Aguba's movies when he was younger, which motivated his initial intervention to help the veteran actor.
Public Reactions to the Pastor's Philanthropy
Netizens have widely praised Apostle Chibuzor for his ongoing humanitarian efforts, with many describing him as an ideal example of Christian charity in action. Reactions to his Facebook post included:
- Uduak Mbassa expressed some concern about the caregiver arrangement but acknowledged the overall effort
- Ogonna Tallest blessed the pastor for helping those considered "not marriageable"
- Emmanuel Nwajiagu called Apostle Chibuzor a "good man" who deserves paradise
- Kusaug Hellfighters, identifying as an atheist, appreciated the pastor's selfless care for humanity
- Stanley Uc Anozie commended OPM as the kind of church deserving tithes and offerings
Context of OPM's Humanitarian Work
This update on Kenneth Aguba comes amid broader attention to Omega Power Ministries' social initiatives, including the recent wedding of the pastor's autistic adopted son, which garnered significant social media attention. The church had outlined substantial support for the newlyweds, including a reported N10 million donation to help them begin their married life with stability and security.
Apostle Chibuzor's ongoing care for Kenneth Aguba represents a continuation of the church's commitment to supporting vulnerable individuals, demonstrating a model of religious philanthropy that has resonated with both believers and non-believers alike.
