The high-octane event, which was hugely attended by several leading men of God and famous entertainers drawn from Nollywood, the music and comedy sectors, began with praise and worship from wave making gospel act, Mike Abdul and many others.

The high point of the memorable evening celebration, which began with a red carpet session, was the presentation of special recognition awards by the birthday boy, Idahosa, who turned 54, to some Nollywood stars, media personalities, members and supporters of the wave making church.

“As you have all come out to honour and celebrate with me today, celebrations will never cease in your homes. We cannot thank all of you enough. We look forward to hosting you all again at my next year’s birthday. We must keep celebrating and thanking God because every day is a plus,” he stated amid smiles.

The event came to a rousing end with the sumptuous dinner, which flowed freely from all corners of the beautifully decorated main auditorium of the church, which served as the venue of the historic three-in-one birthday celebrations.
