SUCCESS COMES WITH PATIENCE AND PERSISTENCE

Umu Nnem, Welcome to August!

Being alive and part of this world is a privilege with purpose.

When we begin to value our lives, we also begin to truly love and appreciate it. Every life has its own set of challenges — unique battles we all must face. But in the midst of those challenges, let’s not lose sight of our blessings.

Be thankful for your health, your loved ones, your achievements, and those priceless moments of joy and peace. These are treasures that cannot be measured.

While we may not be able to control the storms that come our way, we can choose how we respond to them. With a positive heart and a resilient spirit, we can make our journey brighter — not just for ourselves but for those around us.

Don’t complain about life. Instead, embrace it with optimism and gratitude.
Do what brings you joy.
Be with those who bring you peace.
Live every moment fully — because time, once gone, never returns.

As we step into this new month, remember:
👉 The effort you put in today will shape your tomorrow.
👉 To achieve the extraordinary, you must be willing to go the extra mile.
👉 No one becomes a success overnight — behind every shining moment is silent, tireless labor.

Many begin their dreams with fire, but give up when the results don’t come quickly. Don’t let that be you.

Stay the course. Be patient. Be persistent.

Results may delay, but they will come — and in the best form, at the best time.

Always remember:
👉 The future holds better days.
👉 Don’t be afraid to ask for help — we all need one another to rise.
👉 Let this month be the season you fight, shine, and win.

Let’s make the best use of August and declare boldly:

Together, we shall succeed.

Get ready to celebrate — because the best of August has just begun!

I wish you a Graceful, Merciful, Joyful, Peaceful, and Fruitful month ahead.

HUMBLE & SINCERE APPRECIATION 💐

Appreciation is one of the most powerful ways to connect with people.

In every space of life whether personal or professional being appreciated renews our passion and deepens our joy. Without it, even the things we once loved begin to feel like a burden.

Appreciation doesn’t always need to come with trophies or titles. Sometimes, it’s those simple words… a text, a call, a post that carry the biggest weight.

And so, from the depths of my heart, I want to HUMBLY and SINCERELY thank everyone who called, sent SMS, chats, and timeline wishes to celebrate my birthday.

May God bless you richly.
May your joy never run dry.

Thank You All ❤️

THE GIRL CHILD IS ENOUGH

"Any fool can have a child. That doesn’t make you a father. It’s the courage to raise a child that makes you a father." ~ Barack Obama

Dear Fathers, give your daughters enough love, make them feel special, give them attention.

A father is the first man a girl will ever love.You have a duty to model genuine love, value, and dignity for your daughter.

Don't raise your daughter to be a liability to any man.Instead, empower her to be a shepherd prepared before her Jacob arrives.
Give her a source of livelihood before marriage.

If you want her husband to respect her, give her a quality education and a hopeful future.Don’t raise her just for the bride price you expect to collect.

All gratitude to the Almighty for His grace and mercy for another year in the land of the living.

🎉 Happy Birthday to a philanthropist without a camera,the 1st Female 1st Vice President of BBA, Adadiọmma N’Awka-Etiti, Lolo Chinyere Nwabuikwu(Madam C&C)

Cheers to long life, prosperity, and continued impact.

We celebrate you today and always.

PROMOTING ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION IN BBA TRADING COMMUNITY

Dear Stakeholders of BBA Trading Community,

The courts play a crucial role in Nigeria’s justice system, serving as the ultimate arbiter in legal disputes and safeguarding the rule of law. However, in recent years, the increasing dependence on litigation as the default approach to resolving even minor conflicts has led to an overburdened judiciary. This has resulted in prolonged litigation processes, overcrowded dockets, and delayed justice, undermining public confidence in the legal system.

To address these challenges, it is essential to promote and prioritize Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms.particularly mediation and arbitration. These methods provide a quicker, more cost-effective, and less adversarial means of resolving disputes. By embracing ADR as a first step, rather than the last resort, Nigeria can significantly reduce the pressure on its courts, deliver faster justice, and foster a more cooperative social and commercial environment.

In line with this vision, Balogun Business Association (BBA) institutionalized its own Arbitration Committee to settle internal disputes among members of the trading community. This is a commendable initiative that other business communities can emulate. The BBA Arbitration Committee, ably led by BBA 2nd Vice President Nze Odera Ibekwe as Chairman with the ever-diligent Hon. Akidi Okey Ezeaku as the Committee’s Scribe, stands as a reliable and respected forum for resolving disputes amicably without the need for police involvement or lengthy court proceedings.

All BBA members are strongly encouraged to utilize this internal mechanism for dispute resolution. It promotes unity, reduces costs, and preserves relationships that could otherwise be damaged by hostile litigation.

Ichie, you came, you saw, and indeed, you conquered.

Seventy years on this earth is no small feat it is a full chapter of impact, of legacy, and of stories written in the hearts of those you touched. Even though no one ever wishes to part with a loved one, the harsh truth remains that no man can hold back the sting of death. Still, your memory lives on etched in gold.

The last time we sat together remains fresh in my mind, during our courtesy visit to the Executive Governor of Lagos State His Excellency Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu in the company of BBA President, Chief Oscar Odogwu, (Akuchinyelu N’Umunachi) That moment just like many others revealed the humility, wisdom, and fatherly presence you always carried with you.

I remember vividly how I assisted you in editing a message on your Whatsapp you were sending to your beloved daughter. That simple act has now become a treasured memory. It reflected your gentleness, your deep love for your family, and your attention to thoughtful communication.

Ichie Yim, Ugbana Alor, your departure has left a void in our midst, but your footprints remain visible both within BBA Trading community and beyond. You were a dependable pillar, a man of honour and cultural pride. Your life was a testament to service, wisdom, and loyalty.

My heartfelt empathy goes to your dear family. May they find comfort in the life you lived and the legacy you left behind.
