He explained on how he became a pastor: “I didn’t set out to be an ordained reverend. My bishop probably got inspired by God to ordain me. I worship with Power Line Bible Church under Bishop Lawrence Osagie, and he ordained me in 2012.”
He further said, “Even before my ordination, I had been receiving invitations from different places to come and minister. So when the offer came from my bishop to ordain me, I didn’t reject it. I took it whole heartedly and I get excited when I have opportunity to speak to people, inspire them and draw them closer to God.”
Orji who has been less active in Nollywood as he used to be has given reasons for his absence. He explained that he wasn’t as active as he used to be and that it is normal in every actor’s life. He also attribute his being less active to age as he can no longer play some characters he has been taking before now.
