Benjamin Ananwa

Benjamin Chizoba Ananwa was born in Ihe, Enugu State, Nigeria in the summer of early eighties. He is one of the extant children of Chief Nwankwo Chukwuemeka and Lady Virginia Iruka Ananwa’s household, and was commonly identified as ‘Beloved Ben’.

Young Ben commenced his writing Career as a kid through short stories, compositions, and helping his colleagues to write heartfelt love letters. His critiques were very enthralling and eye-catching, and a friend once pronounced that “his scripts speak in capacities”. His fascination in writing was fostered by his Dad, who studied English Language from the University of Liverpool. Young Ben was splendidly fortified and coached by his Dad who taught him how to study numerous novels and books during the holidays. One of the top-secrets he gathered from his Dad was ‘to Study the best guys, learn from them, and follow their footsteps’. This has become the steering attitude of his reality. He was a brilliant student and graduated with Second Class Upper Division in Electronic/Telecommunication Engineering from Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka in 2006.

At the age of 12, Beloved Ben was visited by the Supernatural. He arrived home a certain midafternoon, proceeded to the bedroom, and mounted on his bed. Suddenly, his spiritual eyes were opened while awake, and he saw many incredible phenomena. Ben agitated and jumped out of his bed and progressed to another bedroom. As soon as he left, the vision disappeared. He returned again to the former bedroom, closed his eyes again, and had the same occurrence over again. At the night of the same day, He saw a vision of an insuperable new planet, warring and trashing many lofty planets; this prevailing planet was governed and structured by the Superlative God. Nevertheless, Young Ben is a blessed of the Lord, a lover of Jesus and had barely absconded from many death traps. In 1999, Beloved Ben was the first target in a communal crash amid Mgbakwu (his town) and Isuaniocha (the neighboring town) which claimed numerous lives and left others mutilated; but he was exquisitely aided by God as an Angel emerged in his semblance while he bolted into boonies. On 30th of June, 2008, two touch lights descended on him from heaven in a vision while he was asleep; and a voice said to him, “I’ve implanted my Word in your heart; I’ve imparted your mind with My Spirit. Go forth and manifest as a ‘Life Giving Spirit”. Henceforth, He attended the Word of Faith Bible Institute of the Living Faith Church (Winner’s Family), Durumi Abuja in 2009; and was conferred with two certificates: Basic Certificate Course and Leadership Certificate Course.

Today, Beloved Ben is a prolific Author, a veteran Evangelist and an Inspirational Speaker.
