Popular business mogul and philanthropist, Nana Kobo, has underscored the need for Ghanaians to persistently show love to inmates in the various Prisons across the country.
He disclosed that showing love to the needy especially inmates attracts God’s blessings upon people than one would have expect.
The Businessman made this known when he donated items worth over GHC50, 000 to inmates at the Senior Correction Centre on Tuesday.
The gesture forms part of Nana Kobo’s generous way of showing love to the needy across the length and breadth of the country.
The items include bags of rice, boxes of bottled water, packs of assorted drinks, toiletries, and many others.
The businessman who is also the patron of Priority Salvation Ministry further donated an undisclosed amount of money to the operators of the facility.
The gesture, was to mark the 4th anniversary celebration of the Priority Salvation Ministry where Nana Kobo worships.
Nama Kobo was supported by chief, queen mothers, and prominent people in the entertainment industry including musician, Kwabena Kwabena.
As a role model, he believes his influence and donation will impact positively the lives of the inmates.
Nana Kobo shared his grass-to-grace story to assure the inmates that all hope is not lost.
“What I will tell you is that don’t lose hope. Don’t give up on life because challenges are part of life. Nothing comes easy in this life. You will suffer and face challenges but at the end of the day, you’ll be successful” he stressed.
He encouraged them to leverage on some of the opportunities offered by the prison and turn their lives around when they eventually leave the facility.
“We built our life slowly and methodically. We fell down but didn’t stay there and that is why we are here today. Let your lives reflect that of Christ so that one day you’ll have testimonies. God bless you all and lift you up from your current challenges” he added.
Musician, Kwabena Kwabena entertained the inmates with some of his hit and inspirational songs and encouraged them to keep their hopes alive.
One of the Prison officers who received the items on behalf of the inmates thanked Nana Kobo for the donation.
He was optimistic that the items would go a long way to improved their lives at the centre.
