The city of Monrovia, Liberia, came alive with the executive reception accorded Dr. Olakunle Churchill, when he visited the Sovereign Nation of Liberia in style with his team on the invitation of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. On his arrival at the airport, a cross- section of journalists and traditional dancers trooped to the airport to welcome the Nigerian businessman, philanthropist and Chairman of Big Church foundation.
President Sirleaf who was elated in receiving Churchill to her country expressed her excitement over his charity projects towards the less privileged. In her words \' we appreciate your visit and your intention to extend your agricultural empowerment project to Liberia. Nigeria over the years has displayed big brotherly love to us especially during the civil war where some Nigerian military died to save our nation\'.
The warm reception at the Presidential villa with the ministers followed with a Peace festival match around the city. The colourful event continued to the stadium where Dr. Olakunle Churchill was one of the key note speakers alongside the Vice president Joseph Boakai, speaking on the theme; \'Let\'s Maintain The Peace, promoting Nonviolent Elections\'. The event had several performances including the popular Liberian blind boy Semah G Weifur also known as \'Liberia little\'s flavor\' who thrilled the citizens.
