“My encounter with the glory of God. When I got to my wit’s end, I covenanted with God for blessings in return for a life long work and walk with Him.

“To say that I did not see HIS Glory come into my life would mean I have turned God into a liar.

“It is only God who could have brought me from the back burner to the front burner.

“He Himself orchestrated and organized by divine intervention , the beginning and continuation of our delving into the oil industry.

“The oil block allocated and licensed to us was not wanted by any oil company ; we accepted it by faith and it has become the chief cornerstone in West Africa and Africa as a whole.

“The Government came back to “take” 50% out of our 60%,but after a 12 year battle in court, all was restored to the glory of God.

“God has continued to be faithful as to be expected and I am here today as part of my fulfillment of my obligations to that covenant ,” she wrote.
