MEN TOLD TO RIGHT THE WRONGS AROUND THEM...as Kingdom Men Berths in Rivers, Bayelsa States


A gathering of men at Kingdom Men Global Network’s Inaugural Men’s Breakfast Roundtable in Port Harcourt over the weekend, unanimously agreed that God’s mandate is for the man to make right anything going wrong around him - whether in the home, at the work place or in the larger society.

Rubbing minds on the event theme, ‘Fix the Men Fix Nigeria’, the men   expressed deep concern about poor political leadership in and outside the state, the challenges of youth restiveness and economic and social decline and concluded that deploying the tools of Iron Sharpens Iron and other programmes of Kingdom Men nationally will help fix the men who will in turn fix the nation.


Organised in pursuit of the ministry’s national and global vision, to help raise and disciple Christ-like men for leadership in diverse areas of life, the events marked the inauguration of Kingdom Men in the Niger Delta region.

The inauguration activities were held on Friday November 18 and Saturday November 19, 2017 at the Hub Event Centre and it attracted a good number of men and youths from Port Harcourt and neighbouring Bayelsa state.


Public awareness of the programmes were made weeks before the event and sensitisation was sustained when the Chief Vision Steward, Reverend Remi Akano and a member of the ministry’s Board of Trustees, Reverend Professor Phillip Okerentugba went on air at one of the city’s leading radio stations, Love FM, inviting men to the programme. 

At the end of the Friday evening programme, a record eight Iron Sharpens Iron (ISI) study groups were established in Port Harcourt and one in Bayelsa state as pioneers of the small group study, discipleship, prayer and accountability programme of Kingdom Men.


The Saturday MBR inauguration in Port Harcourt was unique in many ways. It provided a platform to formally launch the International Men’s Day (IMD) in Nigeria for the first time and this was anchored between Apostle Frank Aikins, President of Kingdom Covenant Ministry International, KMEN’s Chief Vision Steward and the ministry’s member of BoT. This year’s theme for IMD is: Celebrate Men and Boys.

Speakers at the MBR, Reverend Remi Akano and Reverend Professor Phillip Okerentugba, addressed the theme, Fix the Men, Fix Nigeria.  

In his closing remarks, Captain Samuel Olarewaju expressed satisfaction over the response of men in Port Harcourt in embracing the Project ISI and attendance to the Men’s Breakfast Roundtable. He urged that in the days ahead, their lives should exemplify those virtues that Jesus Christ represents.
Among those who graced the IMD/MBR Saturday programme included Church leaders, a member of the Rivers State Executive Council, and coordinators of men’s fellowship from some churches, youths and politicians.
