I am a born-again Christian but not stereotypical one – Uti Nwachukwu

Many people have said it is really an arduous
task to fix former Big Brother Africa winner, Uti
Nwachukwu, in any particular setting. Just when
you think you have got the guy all figured out,
there is always a part of him sticking out for you
to put a tag on.
If you call him names, you wouldn’t be veering
way too far from many others. He’s handsome,
stylish,charismatic and voraciously ambitious. He
is one of those guys who always get the girls. At
least, that is the image the actor/ compere
seems to ooze. But you are dead wrong.
“Of course, I am born again, I found Christ in
2006, I have always believed in Christ but I
answered the altar call in 2006. But I must tell
you I am not still perfect” he told Potpourri at
the Warri Again show in Warri, Delta State on
Independence day.
“ Being born again, means accepting Christ as
your Lord and personal saviour. He didn’t come
to the world for the righteous, Christ came for
the imperfect ones like me and you. I genuinely
want to change, Christ is right there soliciting
and interceding for me, because he is the way,
the truth and the life. People fail to see that it
is we, the imperfect, that Christ came for, I am
extremely imperfect. I am not the stereotypical
type of born again, I am the type that is aware
of the love and grace” he explained. When I
asked him to explain what he meant by being
imperfect, he highlighted a host of
circumstances.“Personally, I would not want to
have sex before marriage but sometimes you fall
and when you fall, you repent and beg God for
forgiveness; it’s not easy.
