A prominent radio presenter from Ogun State, Akinyemi Olatoye popularly called Alawiye, has explained that his annual Alagbawi Nla Praise Festival is driven by a deep sense of faith, gratitude and commitment to humanitarian service.

Speaking during his radio show on Friday, Alawiye said the event, held every March 30 to celebrate his birthday, was conceived as a platform to bring people together in collective worship and thanksgiving.

He noted that apart from its spiritual significance, the festival also serves as an avenue to support vulnerable members of society, especially widows.

According to him, the outreach component of the program was inspired by the teachings and legacy of his late mentor, Gbenga Adeboye, whose life emphasized compassion and giving.

Alawiye disclosed that no fewer than 51 widows would benefit from the seventh edition of the event this year, as part of efforts to alleviate their challenges and improve their living conditions.

He appealed to well-meaning individuals and organizations to support the initiative, stressing that collective contributions are essential to sustain and expand the humanitarian gesture.

“Celebrate me while I’m alive,” he said, calling for greater participation in both the praise festival and his charity drive.

The Alagbawi Nla Praise Festival has, over the years, become a notable gathering that combines spiritual uplift with social impact, attracting worshipers and supporters from within and outside Ogun State.
