That's how I'll wake up one morning and I'm a senior citizen 🤣...but no pressure, just purpose grounded in clarity of vision and faith. Happy birthday, Nwokeukwu.
When the mirror speaks, let it echo a conscience untroubled and a soul that is unashamed. Let the one in the mirror stand as your witness: calm, clear and unafraid. After God’s, the only verdict that matters is that rendered in silence between man and his reflection. And for each day that verdict is just, let thanks go to God, the only true giver of grace and strength.

Thankful, sober, grateful, poised and committed to a life beyond mere existence. A life of purpose, growth, impact, and quiet strength. Here’s to walking in alignment, embracing grace, and showing up fully.
This is 34.🎊🙏🏽🥂

Earlier today during a courtesy call on my learned senior and a distinguished service man of the Nigeria Police Force, DIG Frank Mba at the Force Headquarters, Abuja. The future is super bright.
Not too late to wish everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous new year. May increase not just be a proclamation this year, may it be our testimonies, on each side, Amen.

Video highlights from the unveiling of my book and foundation in honour of Elder C.A.N Nwokeukwu, SAN at a surprise reception to mark his 40th Bar Anniversary.
BORN TO ROBE: THE UNVEILING
On Thursday, I organised a small surprise reception to mark my father's 40th anniversary in active legal practice. Four decades of loyalty to his career and to the city of Aba which has culminated into attaining the zenith of the most noble profession on earth and as one of the finest advocates from the east of the Niger is a sheer mark of impeccability.
To this end, I published my first body of work titled "Born To Robe: A Compilation of Essays, Articles and Judgments in honour of Elder C.A.N Nwokeukwu, SAN"- a surprise gift to my father to celebrate what an outstanding mentor, principal and icon he has been to me personally, and to tons of legal practitioners of our extraction.
I also unveiled a foundation in his honour- UGWUNNA CHARITY FOUNDATION, that will offer us a platform to give back to Aba- the city of his career. The foundation will creatively engage youths who are desirous to learn and excel with a bid to help them achieve self sufficiency. The foundation will also engage critically with prison inmates, providing them with the necessary mental support aimed at equipping them to be positively reintegrated into society. Other areas of focus will be with respect to identifying and supporting vulnerable sections of our society while contributing innovatively and effectively to advocacy campaigns on some of the social issues we face as a city. The ultimate objective would be to work to project our city for the right reasons to the rest of the nation by building a city founded on brotherhood and promoting community development through simple acts of love.
I can't thank God enough and everyone who helped me in one way or the other to work on and keep this project quiet till its actualisation. It was a deserving surprise for my father and I hope a worthy immortalisation for a man who despite such an already illustrious career, still has a bright future ahead.
God bless you all.
