It is very appropriate to look back to time and be grateful for how far one has come. It is this sense of gratitude that makes a man want to give back to humanity out of little or abundance he has received.
HOW THE JOURNEY ALL STARTED
That fateful day, exactly fifteen days to his birthday, he was involved in a ghastly motor accident at the Benin by-pass on his way from Warri, Delta State to Lagos. How he managed to come out of the vehicle which already had its four tyres up without a scratch is a miracle, a clear sign that he still has a date with destiny.
A further confirmation of this divine agenda came through a man that assisted him and stood with him for hours at in ensuring his safety and continuation of his journey to the Redemption Camp of RCCG, a man who helped to make the journey possible without collecting a dime. On his way to Lagos, the revelation came like a new dawn and birthed a resolution to spend at least the next forty-five years impacting his world much more than he has ever done.

A BRIEF OF THE PAST
Mr Soji Akinwande’s drive to help the needy and make positive impacts in his world did not start today. In 2001, he engaged the youths in Gbongan , Ayedaade Local Government Area in an academic competition where eighty-four students participated. At the end, thirteen of the students were given four to three months free intense tutorials at Prime Tutors Academy. The three best contestants were handsomely rewarded and payment made for their WAEC fees.
He has offered on several occasions to teach or lecture for free.
Just recently, between February and April, 2019 he gathered the youths within Fountain of Favour Zonal Headquarter, RCCG, Province 12, Lagos for a Bible-based quiz competition where all participants were rewarded and winners went home smiling with huge cash prizes enough to start small business ventures.
Mr Olusoji Akinwande is resilient, passionate, optimistic, philanthropic and kind-hearted. This is just one of his visions to positively affect his world.
