What it takes to transform the world is within you,to make great impact, your thoughts must be revolutionary. The mind is limitless unlike the brain, it can only be confined by your thoughts, good decisions backed with actions is what distinguishes an individual. To be a problem solver, you must have a brave heart. Bravery is what distinguishes a man; without bravery, slavery in a man's life will never end. A Bonny born native of Ogu-bolo in Rivers State, Nigeria, David Ibiyeomie attended Government Comprehensive Secondary School, Borokiri after his primary education from Banham Primary School Port-Harcourt.
In 1980, he bagged a bachelor’s degree in Microbiology from the now Rivers State University and also holds an honorary doctorate degree in Divinity from the Bradley University of America, awarded in 2004.
He is intensely involved in community service with a commitment to restoring hope and impacting the world. His establishment, the David Ibiyeomie Foundation (DIF), through welfare schemes and programme such as scholarships, skills acquisitions training and medical outreaches contribute massively to society, providing much needed aid to the less privileged in orphanages, prisons and at centres for the physically challenged.
He is also the Senior Pastor of Salvation Ministries, a fast growing global church in Port Harcourt, currently with over 350 satellite churches worldwide.
