1. How well do you know the applicant closely? Acquaintances _______ Casually__X____

2. In what capacity have you known the applicant?


I have known his mother since the year 2010. It was through his mother who attends service anytime she
visits my ministry for prayers that I have known the applicant and other members of his family. They live
in Cote d’Ivoire. Therefore, anytime they pay a visit to Nigeria, my ministry is their lieu to worship God. I
am his friend and pastor. He recently came to Nigeria, and my ministry is his frequent terrain to pray. I
recently ordained him as my assistant pastor. He is a good and very intelligent person. He rarely keeps
friends. He explained to me the need for me to reference his application somewhere in Ghana. That is the
reason I decided to stand for him in both spaces of friend reference and pastor reference. Thanks and
God bless you!!!

Comment: he is a hardworking and very much responsible when it comes to financial aspect of life. He is
sometimes cheerful. That is, when things are working out fine, he is happy, on the contrary, when there is failure
on his expectations, he becomes unhappy. But that cannot turn him off his good mood. He lives a life almost what
is termed Christ-like. But you may not notice outwardly. He does not like people to know that he is deep-rooted
into Christ in order to avoid temptations and problems. He could be staring at you while he is praying. He has the
capacity to see visions or revelations. Like I said, He is deep into Christ with a die-hard covenant. In terms of
comprehension, he understands things fast. He is naturally a loner who likes to be him. He has no person he can
call friend and that has affected his ability to work as a team with others. In terms of punctuality, he takes his work
as a wife/.
