Eze Chika in his words said:
” I feel responsible for this little ones more because they live in my jurisdiction of reign, Ijegun Ijeododo.
I’m inclined to help not because I have too much but because there is need to bless the less privileged in our society however way we can, with me the Almighty God will bless them.
I loss my father and mother early in life, I toiled to survive with no help, I slept in unsheltered places, so I made a promise that if God helps me to succeed in life, I’ll be a helper to those in need,a reason i have built several houses to shelter people.
