I’m Pastor Chris Ndidi Ekeh. I hail from Ngor-Okpala, in Imo State. I was born in Lagos but grew up in Enugu. My father was a cook . He used to cook for the whitemen while we were living in Lagos. We later moved to Enugu where I had my early education. While growing up in Enugu, I joined the Scripture Union as well as the Evangelical Fellowship arm of the Anglican Communion.

Johny Esike was not born with a silver spoon, yet he made a difference in his generation, driving away poverty in his family. The early death of his father was another challenge to his education but in all, he was determined to succeed and prove that the black man is not a dummy. He became a Mechanical Engineer through self struggle. One thing unique about him is that he is very articulate and always committed whenever he wants to achieve anything. Esike has a burning passion to create jobs for the unemployed Nigerian youths.
