– Africa! It is a continent with immense untapped
mineral wealth. Unrivaled wildlife, scenic grandeur, and pristine ecology constitute
Africa's third greatest natural resource after agriculture and mineral wealth.
There is not another continent blessed with such abundance and diversity. Yet
most  African
nations have not been able to mobilize these vast resources for the benefit of
their people.CBN.com's Craig von Buseck recently
sat down with Regent University graduate Fidelis Obidike to talk about his vision
to build a Christian University in Nigeria to help train young African leaders
to catch a vision for their continent -- and to launch that vision with biblical
principles. Watch the interview by clicking on the links to the right. The
proposed Destiny Global University will actively promote the Judeo-Christian ethic
in the social, political, economic, and financial spheres by educating men and
women with the Biblical worldview. Through their leadership and their exemplary
life, a Christian standard will be communicated through Christian leadership in
every facet of human affairs. The proposed Destiny Global University student will
integrate faith with the pursuit of academic and professional excellence. They
are going to be a tremendous gift to Nigeria and to the nations of Africa, as
well as the entire world. They will communicate Christ and Judeo-Christian leadership
principles to various African cultures and civilizations.  Rev.
Obidike serves as the Executive Director of Mission to Africa Foundation with
the responsibility of raising $200 million in twenty years for the building of
Destiny Global University complex. He is convinced that this institution will
play a vital role in a strategic move to bring a positive change to Nigeria and
all Africa nations as well. This proposed institution will integrate Biblical
faith into the education of its students, which will have a profound impact on
the generations of Africans and Nigerians to come.
Destiny Global University
will be located at the Blue Ridge hill and valley in Obenatite, Umuleri, about
twenty-five minutes drive from Onitsha, the largest commercial city in the whole
of West Africa with a population of two million. Many of the proposed business
and computer students will come from the commercial city, more than eighteen southern
states, and over thirty nations of the world. Destiny University plans to engineer
this business commercial center into a Twenty-first Century technological center.
As the world's science and technology advance, Destiny University will take African
children into the world of technology. The goal of the University is to become
a premier center for research and education in the life sciences.  The
new generation of African leaders will change the negative emphasis that perpetuates
the image of the African continent and its people as endemically inferior to the
rest of the world, and inherently incapable of transformation. The many positive
aspects of the continent's great history, its recent achievements, and its tremendous
potential will be emphasized.
