It is almost statutory that people designated as men and women of God are excellent at unravelling sacred scriptures and religious texts. Seeing them performing less than average in other endeavours does nothing to their reputation. Pastor Ituah Ighodalo breaks common sense; he is good at everything: pastoring, modern philosophy, reformative activism, writing, even financial accounting. With a passion for transforming lives for the better, Ighodalo does not hesitate to serve others and put into effect the manifold grace of God upon his life.
To most people, Ighodalo is only the vibrant, persuasive and diligent pastor of Trinity House Church. An exalted status for sure but nothing worth shouting about. What these folks do not understand is that this pastor is as vibrant, persuasive and diligent in every other thing that he does. Thus, he has managed to climb into the Nigerian elite’s ranks, those few that sit on company boards and dictate the affairs of the corporate sector.
Ighodalo sits on as many executive boards as there are letters in the English language. These include FAMAD Nigeria Plc., FINATRUST MFB, The Clinix Diagnostic Center, NSIA Insurance, Standard Bearers School, Courage Education Foundation and Courage Center TV series, Edensfield Health Initiative, ELPIS Mental Health Initiative, Heritage Homes, Trinity Media and Films, etc. Also, he is the Publisher/Editor-in-Chief of Timeless Media Group, Chairman.
Barring his natural aptitude and a good head for understanding people, Ighodalo maintains this height because he is book-smart. With a combined Bachelor’s combined honours degree in Economics and Accounting from the University of Hull, England, Ighodalo is a chartered accountant and an alumnus of the Boston Harvard Business School. Moreover, the man has many fellowships in many high-ranking institutions and councils.
Nevertheless, Pastor Ituah Ighodalo uses all these to the benefit of all and sundry. His efforts in this regard have significantly increased since he has to take up even the responsibilities left behind by his late wife, the well-liked Ibidun Ighodalo. Still, Ighodalo’s diligence and grace are inspiring. Some are born with greatness. Others have greatness thrust upon them. Some others take up greatness as they go along. Pastor Ituah Ighodalo is, beyond all doubts, one of the latter.
