By the grace of the Lord, I’ve got a chance to attend ISOM program and received my diploma, then at CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP UNIVERSITY and received my degree of Biblical studies.

John says:
I like singing, dancing, traveling, visiting different countries, watching movies, swimming, going to church, . I always offer moral support to the underprivileged . I want them to feel like worthy human beings, they are sometimes deprived and marginalized of their basic needs and rights. that’s why I composed a song named Never ever give up which contains an inspiring message encouraging people not to give up. I’ve also recorded a song against stigmatization of HIV/Aids victims as they are most often isolated and neglected right from the family level. They die early, not because of sickness but just because of living in a state of hopelessness. Currently I’m working on the production of a film about “life” and writing a book. I like to put on suits, Jeans and cold clothes when visiting the cold places.
