1. Can we meet you? Where were you
born and what was growing up like.
I am I.O.C Walter, Coined from Ijoma
Okezie Chukwukah Walter, Intl Gospel Music Minister, Pianist, Producer,
Teacher, CEO, etc. I am married to Favour and we have two sons. I was born in
Onitsha, Anambra State and grew up in an average home of 4 yonger siblings, me
being the eldest, My late Father was a lawyer and my Mum was A Secondary School
Teacher. Ours was an average home, we weren't rich but we weren't poor,
Hahahahaha
2. What university did you attend
and why you choose the course, skul?
I attended IMO State University and
Studied Optometry although I never Practiced for one day. IMSU was more like
what was obtainable when the original choices of Unizik and UNN failed and
Optometry was also what was available as Med&Surg.didn't work out, and you
know in every parents mind, once you are brilliant and intelligent, you must be
a doctor, lawyer or engineer, so that's how I got there
3. When did you discover Gods call
on your life to be a music minister?
I got born again in 1991 as a boy
and I became aware of my Musical giftings and anointing in 1994/95 and had
opportunities to sing in my church in those days at Onitsha alongside music
legendary groups like,'CIRCLE OF CHRISTIAN FRIENDS', They are grandfathers now,
Hahahaha. Then I learnt to play the Piano in 1998.
4.How did it all start?
Mmmmm,A long story, but I met the
Lord as a very young boy and so, being active in church, I, and people around
me noticed that there's something special about me. My parents nurtured it by
letting me attend christian programs and most times at home, I would lead the
morning devotions and teach the Word, and at that early stage, adults would
fall under the power of God either as I taught the Word of God or sang, bcos I
haven't started playing Piano then. So it went on, I grew and kept discovering
myself and The Holyghost, and here I am today, still discovering
5.Who motivates you to excel in
life?
The Holyghost motivates me Thru The
Word of God. I also Have mentors and Pastors I have passed thru. Presently ,
Rev.Chris Oyahkilome is my Pastor. I may miss some names if I decide to start
calling names but God has caused me to meet great men and women who have been a
great influence in my life and ministry
6. Tell us abour your little
beginning. How did you nuture your dream?
I would say that I have not gotten
to where I should be, but then I am not where I used to be. A really humble
beginning, started from Nothing. All I had was my laptop which contained my
visions and then The Word. Started my music studio in my little apartment then
and got married in that little apartment. And gradually, I watched all that God
showed me coming to pass and is still happening. From Nothing Yesterday, God
brought me thru, caused me to come in contact with Great men like Pst Ifeanyi
Igwe, Pst Adolph Nnebue, Pst Yahaya Dingamaji, Pst Uzor Peters, Odera Ilodibe,
Tonneil Avo, Buchi, Bossman, Dcn Chike & Dcns Akudo Okafor and infact the
Christ Embassy Family and many others I couldn't mention who taught me, guided
me, believed in me, helped me etc. I wouldn't fail to mention that I have the
best Family in the world. Very Supportive. When i say Family, I mean, My Wife,
Nuclear, siblings, Inlaws, extended, etc. Everybody played a role in one way or
the other, Positive or negative, Hahahaha. Today, I have a music and events
company,(E-world Entertainments), with a big studio and so on, A family,
Team(The Asaphs), Properties, Car(s), Travelled within and Outside Nigeria for
the Gospel, and I have the privilege by The Holyghost to Host a Powerful End
time move known as 'School Of Worship', a monthly fellowship meeting where we
minister unto The Lord and also Teach on the True Essence and Meaning of
Worship. I can go on and on. Grace is at work in me, That's all I can say.
7.How do you relax.
Music relaxes me. Gospel Worship
songs and instrumental. I also love to relax by Listening to messages. Then I
do movies too or I just sleep.
8. What kind of atmosphere motivates
your songs
When am Praying, Meditating or
Listening to God's word, I get songs. It may come with instrumentals first
before the lyrics or vice versa. My songs are born out of fellowship with The
Word.
9. What is the secret to your
success?
Faith, Absolute Faith in The Word of
God! Anything I put my mind to comes to pass
10. What do you see of yourself
doing Five years from now.
Five years from now, I would be
fully into World Apostolic Outreach Thru Music, I would have travelled to More
Nations and Countries singing and Preaching the Gospel. I would have built a
world class Music Company and I would have become one of the finest World class
Gospel Music Ministers like, Michael Smith,Don Moen, Sinach, Frank Edwards,
etc.
11. What is your final words to the
youths.

this world to do and Do It. Jesus is at The Door already, There's no time to
waste. Start That Business, Make that Money, Sponsor the Gospel, Sing That Song,
Write That Book, Learn and Improve That Skill. Money is not the issue, it is
your motivation... Provision comes to those with Visions. Let The Holyghost be
