Man remembers first encounter with Uma Ukpai
On his Facebook page, Okechukwu Ajogwu shared how he got an opportunity to meet with Uma Ukpai one-on-one.
He said in his post:
“My first one on one Encounter REV DR UMA UKPAI OF BLESSED MEMORY. He is one man of God that I know that doesn't care about your money or status.
"The very first day I met him one on one 4th October 2016 at his Uyo ministry Headquarters, he brings in all Ministers of the gospel once into the counseling hall and you approach his table one after the other in that open space to speak with him. He didn't do private sessions for counseling at that moment and you will have to bare it all out.
“Before it got to my turn, he has already addressed most of my issue from the counsels he gave to others. I just got to him and he looked me to the eyes as if he was scanning my past present and future and asked:
“Daddy Uma: What's your name and how many I help you?
“Me: Okechukwu Ajogwu, from Enugu...
“Daddy Uma: Okwa ibu onye igbo? suo na Igbo (You’re an Igbo person, right? Speak in Igbo)
“Yours sincerely switched to Igbo language immediately. That brief encounter meant everything for me.”
