Oritsejafor who congratulated the Olu on his first coronation anniversary, called on him to continue to lean on God for divine direction that would enable him take the oil city to enviable height.


The clergyman said Warri had the potential of becoming the Dubai of Africa if stakeholders and government at all levels contribute towards the peace and overall development of the city.

“Thanksgiving opens the gate for more blessings; it brings you into the presence of God for divine favour through which, God flavours our labour.

“If you are not greatful, you will become a great fool. We must learn to emphasise the importance of thanksgiving in our daily life,” Pastor Oritsejafor added.

Highlight of the ceremony where prayers were said for the Olu of Warri, Delta State and Nigeria at large, was a special thanksgiving to God by the monarch who was accompanied by Itsekiri Chiefs as well as sons and daughters of the Itsekiri kingdom.
