2018 Senior IFOMSSA Challenge Participant Testimonials (Non Winners)

“I want to express my awesome gratitude towards the OCI Foundation. I must appreciate them for their marvellous deed in encouraging students on the importance of hard work by awarding this (scholarship). I urge them to keep on going with their good work. God will replenish them abundantly. As their slogan says, “we rise by lifting others”, truly, they abide by their slogan because they help some students who find it difficult to finish their education, thus lifting them up. I pray that the good Lord will ‘rise’ you as you lift others. Thanks, and remain blessed”.

“Firstly, I want to thank God who made it possible for us to see and witness this very IFOMSSA Challenge (examination), holding today, 24^th January, 2018. We thank the Founder of this event, Dr. Chris Onyebuchi Ifediora, because he has done what is beyond human imagination. I never knew that I will take part in this examination. 
I thank the OCI Foundation’s Founder because he has helped a lot of parents from hardship. He has saved parents from running up and down looking for money. We, the students of S.S.3, thank him so much. He does not even know how much he has done for us. 
We say BRAVO to you, Onyebuchi Chris Ifediora. The almighty GOD will continue to bless you and your family. You will lack nothing in this world, in JESUS name I pray, Amen.
Thanks to the OCI Foundation.

I want you to keep up the good work, and may the LORD replenish your pockets a thousand folds. 
And may the soul of your father, Late Chief Ifedioramma Okafor, continue to rest in the bosom of the Almighty. Amen”.

“I am extremely happy today because, at school, our teachers used to tell the students about the OCI Foundation. I am always speechless whenever I hear what my teacher say about the man (Dr. Chris Ifediora), his character, and what he is doing to the students by giving them scholarships. I told myself that one day, I will witness his exam. Today, I am blessed to be among the students taking the IFOMSSA Challenge. I pray that God will bless him and his family because of the good work he is doing. God will prove his work and make his family outstanding, Amen!”

“The Foundation’s examination is like a challenge to students to do well, because they know that it is every year that the scholarship is given. I appreciate the good work the Founder is doing by offering scholarships, awards, and the annual health symposium. I immensely congratulate and appreciate him very well for the work. I believe that through the annual health symposium, people gained a lot, and therefore, I say BRAVO to the Founder of the OCI Foundation.
