Live Value Awareness And Leadership Secure Initiative (LIVALSI) an NGO with its Headquarters in Abuja has confered Comrade Prince Iche Saviour ” A living Hero Awards” on 1st October, 2023 for the consistency displayed in standing for justice as “The voice of the voiceless” in the society.
The Founder of Ambassadors For Peace and Enlightenment Foundation AMPEF & National President of Micro Entrepreneurs of Nigeria, Comrade Iche Saviour is a multiple award winning activist who has worked assiduously for the rights of the underprivileged and the voiceless in the society digitally and practically. To this course, he was found worthy of being conferred honors from different organizations in different capacities.
The national president of Live Value Awareness and Leadership secure initiative Comrade Oladipupo Musibau and executives who presented the honor said Comrade Iche is deserving enough to be recognized. As a communicator with Aso radio Abuja broadcasting corporation, Oladipupo said the formation of the NGO is centred on sensitization to enlighten the people on the value for human lives and as such recognizes individuals who are crusaders and practicalist in proving this sachrosant theory.
Oladipupo noted that the value for lives should be paramount in the minds of people hence the need for an awareness to enlighten the public on security measures for preservation rather than takers of lives.
He said:
“There is need to sensitize the citizens on how to value lives, there are situations where new born babies are being dumped by their mothers for lack of value on lives due to excuses like hardship and other vices. If there is a working system in Nigeria, people will be sensitized on alternative measures to preserve lives rather than waste lives, unready mothers can place their baby for adoption, insurgency sandstorm by marauders can be curtailed, accident victims can be cared for immediately if there are emergency set ups all around the states, accident sympathizers needs to also be sensitized on what to do when such occurrences happen”
Oladipupo reveals reason behind a distance initiated recognition by LIVALSI at picking Comrade Iche Saviour to be honoured, says Iche’s handiwork speaks volumes, his positive agitation towards human rights has earned him the recognition. He has exhibited comradeship in different capacities which further enhances his qualities as a good leader. The NGO has further taken it up as a mantle to give kudos to valuers and keepers of life hence the need to award Comrade Iche.
Comrade Iche Saviour, National president of Micro Entrepreneurs of Nigeria, Founder of Ambassadors of Peace and Enlightenment Foundation (AMPEF), being honoured on Independence day, October 1st 2023, says to whom much is given much is expected, his contribution to humanity in terms of business, entrepreneurship and humanitarian service has paid off. Sees the honors as a challenge for more work, feels grateful and accomplished for pursuing his calling.
Iche while recounting the antecedents leading to his calling as a human rights crusader, he said:
“As a young lad, while growing up, he finds the act of defending intimidated individuals satisfactory. He revealed that as a child up to his teenage years he would physically overpower persons who finds pleasure in intimidating the weak and beat them up to a defeat”.
As the years go by into the digital age, Comrade Iche advanced in human rights activism by defending the voiceless with the medium of binding laws as well as the exploration of digital means through public speaking to fight for the rights of the downtrodden in the society. Says its an inbuilt task to be the voice for the voiceless, a passion to fight and get justice for the weak.
Iche also noted that the task of being a Human rights activist is not a rosy one but a mind fulfilling mission to always fight for what’s right. Explained that the challenges of being a defender could sometimes be betrayed by a victim who possesses emotional instability, a situation where the victim who reports a case for justice to be served later withdraws interest for fear of being further victimized or temporary settlement from the abuser. These victims later comes back to make a more disturbing report and the human rights still have to listen and take measures independently.
Comrade Iche also reveals that his fight for the rights of the voiceless is with verifiable facts not hear say as this can also be related to his leadership capacity even as an entrepreneur. Further revealed that Association of Micro Entrepreneurs established in 2007 is part of the accomplished struggle for equity and fairness. He recounted that as an entrepreneur who struggled through thick and thin to get a NAFDAC approval in 2007, he thought it necessary to device a means for manufacturers who do not have the financial capacity to get certified by NAFDAC approval.
Records has it that some growing manufacturers suffered major set backs due to Nafdac certification, while others had their businesses closed hence the need for an association formation “Micro Entrepreneurs of Nigeria” to address these issues. A tet a tet discussion with Nafdac gave a lasting solution, as manufacturers under the association could form cell groups of product similarities using same certification. The 10yr old Micro Entrepreneurs Association of Nigeria also got a single export licence for members who are into exportation of products
