Taken his text from the Psalm 127:1-5, Psalm 49:1-3, Jer 1:4, Ezekiel 22: 27.The Youth President noted that, many Christians are regretting their old ages, because they never made useful impact in their Youth, adding that it is the duty of Vibrant youths to be an agent of change and deliver those who are oppressed by the devil.

He stressed that, a born-again youth is not just an ordinary being, but an arrow in the hands of the Almighty God, designed to advertise his kingdom on Earth.

In his charge, the resident pastor of the redeemed Christian Church of God, Breakthrough Parish, Osiri road Yenagoa, pastor Ambrose Edovren thanked  SWAN Members for recognizing the importance of thanksgiving as an association.

Comrade Timinepre stressed that, no body would have protected members of SWAN if not God which informed the need to thank God.

Timinepre noted that, when the SWAN week was approaching, it seems it will not hold due to paucity of funds, but the God factor made everything successful to the glory of God.

She appreciated all members for their unwavering commitment  and support since she emerged as Chairman of the association and all those who contributed to make the  2024 SWAN week remarkable.

The People of Umuyota Autonomous Community in Umuawa-Alaocha, Ohuhu, Umuahia North LGA has reacted to a press release purportedly signed by one imposter named Chikamara Metuh. In a press release signed by Mr. Bright Udeh the Youth President of the Umuokarafor Community, the community where both Mr. Adimchinobi Abraham and High Chief Sonny Uwakwe Nlewedim hails from has advised  members of the public to disregard the so-called press release trying to present the emergence of Chief Sonny Nlewedim as the Eze-Elect of Umuyota Autonomous Community in dispute. According to Mr Udeh "I am the youth president of Umuokarafor, who was unanimously elected by the entire youths of Umuokarafor, Mr. Chikamara Metuh, is not a youth president, nor an executive in Umuokarafor or Umuyota".
