Be my polestar. Place your steady hand atop mine on the rudder, especially in rough seas. Above all, when I go off course, I plead that you help me find my way back to all that is pure.

One day, I’ll have my bath, go to work in the morning, then head to the airport in the evening to start a new life in another country.

But until then, a moving babe will meet her luck soonest.

Warmest congratulations to Mrs. Oyinkan Badejo-Okusanya, SAN, on your well-deserved election as President of the Nigerian Bar Association. Your emergence is a testament to the confidence your colleagues have reposed in your distinguished record of professional excellence, integrity, and unwavering commitment to the advancement of the legal profession.

As you assume this esteemed office, I am confident that you will build upon the solid foundation laid by my good friend, Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, whose tenure has been marked by purposeful leadership and an unwavering commitment to the ideals of the Bar. I have no doubt that your wealth of experience, sound judgment, and visionary leadership will not only sustain that progress but also chart new frontiers for the Nigerian Bar Association.

The Nigerian Bar Association remains a vital pillar in the defence of the rule of law, the independence of the judiciary, constitutional democracy, and the protection of fundamental rights. I am confident that under your stewardship, the Association will continue to speak with courage, uphold the highest standards of legal ethics and professional responsibility, and further strengthen public confidence in the administration of justice.

May wisdom, courage, and discernment guide your decisions as you lead the Association through this important chapter. I wish you a successful and impactful tenure, marked by unity, innovation, and enduring contributions to the legal profession and to the cause of justice in Nigeria.

Congratulations once again, Madam President. I wish you every success as you lead the Bar to even greater heights.

A BOLD MESSAGE OF GRATITUDE.

Today, I stand before you with a heart filled with profound gratitude and a deep sense of responsibility.

I am truly humbled by the confidence that members of the Nigerian Bar Association have reposed in me by electing me to serve as your President.

Thank you for believing in our shared vision of A BOLDER BAR THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE. This victory is not mine alone; it belongs to every member who believed that our Association can be stronger, more inclusive, more responsive, and better positioned to serve the interests of all lawyers.

Over the past months, I had the privilege of travelling across our nation, engaging with colleagues in every state of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory. I listened to your hopes, your concerns, your aspirations, and your ideas. Those conversations shaped this campaign, and they will continue to guide my leadership.

I extend my sincere appreciation to every member who participated in this election, regardless of the candidate you supported. The election is over. We are one Bar, united by a common commitment to the advancement of our profession and the defence of justice and the rule of law.

I congratulate my fellow contestants for their commitment to our Association and for enriching this democratic process. I look forward to working with all of you as partners in building an NBA that reflects the very best of our profession.

To the BBOLD Campaign Council, our volunteers, coordinators, supporters, friends, colleagues, and every person who worked tirelessly, often behind the scenes, I cannot thank you enough. Your dedication, sacrifice, belief, and hard work made this journey possible. I am deeply grateful.

To my husband, thank you for your love, your sacrifices, your encouragement, and your unwavering belief in me throughout this journey. Your support, strength, and quiet confidence have meant more than words can express. I am deeply grateful to have walked this path with you by my side. Thank you for being my steadfast partner through it all.

To my family, mentors, friends, and everyone who stood by me with their prayers, encouragement, and unwavering support, thank you for walking this journey with me.

Today marks not the end of a campaign, but the beginning of a new responsibility.

I pledge to lead with integrity, courage, humility, fairness, and accountability. I will be a President for every member of the Nigerian Bar Association. Together, we will build an Association where every lawyer has the opportunity to earn better, live better, and practise better.

The work begins now.

May God continue to bless the Nigerian Bar Association and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Thank you, and God bless you all.

When Your Two Daughters Make You Proud

This is for those men who believe having only female children is a bad omen

These two pictures tell a wonderful story

The first picture is the newly elected first female President of NBA Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya SAN

The second is the Minister of Industry and Invesment Mrs Oduwole , the junior sister to Oyinkansola

They're both daughters of my Former Vice Chancellor at LASU, Late Prof Afolabi Olumide ( 1st LASU VC )

Prof Olumide was so loved during our time at LASU

He was a Professor of Medicine and a old boy of Igbobi College Yaba

Congratulations to worthy ladies

Some of you that treat your siblings poorly, keep malice with them, speak to them in undermining tones, fight with them at any given chance…

Also want to be good parents yeah?

It’s not every time a woman behaves like a beast that she is “male centered”, you people are making it seem like women have no agency.

[Chief Eni🌊🌊 @Eniifo]

If it’s established that many of us were traumatized, why do so many of you now want kids and are so averse to other people saying they don’t want kids??? It’s crazy because I know say may if una never heal and will mostly likely repeat the pattern.
