High Chief Michael Orobosa Ubogu,the Isoko-Ashaka born Maritime Expert and Grassroots Philanthropist is fast-becoming a hero in Ajegunle and Nigeria where his footprints are seen in every nooks and crannies doing what is best for the grassroots. The Isoko North trained entrepreneur who hailed from one of the popular families in Delta State has become a voice to the voiceless especially widows, widowers, students, young footballers and others in Nigeria.
In terms of grassroots football, he has never neglected Ajegunle people, unlike some super-rich Ajegunlites who left the city without adding any value to it. The popular All Stars Football club is being single-handedly sponsored by Ubogu. He is the man behind the masquerade of developing budding footballers to international level with authentic contacts. His philanthropic legacies speaks well of him in Ajegunle .
He once told Mindset Media Limited that ‘Life does not have value until you make somebody out of it’. He has become a philanthropic light to Ajegunle city where Michael Ubogu yearly support to Wazobia Widows of Nigeria founded by Evang Benjamin Igoh has brought hopeless situation to hopeful reality. One thing for sure is that Michael Ubogu is not a tribal personality but a man that sees everybody as the same in terms of solving humanitarian problems in Nigeria.
For grassroots award, not assuming any government position as a person but heaven has recognized his financial contribution to humanity. He has been predestined to help the poor using his yearly birthday and wife’s own to affect lives positively. Having employed over 5000 workers despite the recent economic crunch, he still maintains his workforces till date. He is one renowned entrepreneur that believes in giving to the poor to alleviate poverty in Nigeria.
Again, Michael Ubogu is not just a patron to Mindset Media Limited but his fatherly and mentorship role has helped the organization to grow to some extent in life. In grassroots media, Ubogu remains the most patronized personality that every journalist wants to identify with in life not because of his wealth but he wants young people to grow their vision with confidence.
The heroic personality of Michael Ubogu is worthy to the core. He is one man that does not speak from both sides than doing his own philanthropic capacity and ready to make himself available to everybody in respective of their levels in life. He is a great motivational speaker with proof and Micura Services Limited is one of the branded maritime companies in Nigeria that has offered quality services to clients over the years.
For City Chronicle Publisher, Akeem Adewale Busari to award him as the Man of the year for philanthropic gesture and entrepreneurial legend for 2015 in Nigeria and Ajegunle alongside with others as Mr.Elutabe Efemena as Sports Personality of the Year 2015 and Evang Benjamin Igoh as the City Light indicated that his humanitarian works have been duly honored by God. He remains the lone voice for African widows and nothing more.
