FUNMI ADEOGUN ON FINANCIAL INVESTMENT: THE THREE SERVANTS (Part 7)

ADEOGUN FUNMILOLA OLUWATOSIN LECTURES ON FINANCIAL INVESTMENT: THE THREE SERVANTS ( Part 7)

Remember the lesson in part 6 is that, ‘To everyone who has investing and trading skills, will more be given.’

The owner of the talents demonstrates trust in his servants and in the principles of modern portfolio theory already at work in the first century. Effective management includes allocation, diversification, and weighting of the talents among different strategies and asset classes.

The owner, preparing for a journey, maintained investment goals for his talents. He must have been familiar with his servants’ work, knew their track record, and trusted them accordingly with his property.

The owner selected three stewards and weighted the talents investment according to the stewards’ abilities: e.g 62.5% to the lead servant, 25% to the second, and 12.5% to the third respectively.

The servants diversified the talents through investing, trading, and in savings.

Lesson: The owner of talents must be familiar with his servants’ work, know their track record and must be able to trust them accordingly with his property.

TAIDI LAUDS NBA ABUJA FOR LAW WEEK

GOODWILL MESSAGE TO NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION ABUJA BRANCH ON HER 2022 LAW WEEK 

I congratulate the Chairman, Executive Committee and Members of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Abuja Branch on her 2022 Law Week. 

The theme: “Credible Electoral Process, Rule of Law, Leadership and Good Governance: The Way Forward,” is both timely, and well thought out given our negative experience on all fronts and the renewed opportunity presented by the upcoming 2023 general elections. 

The way forward is to identify the reasons why unlike other nations which attained political independence with Nigeria, we have become a symbol of retrogression.

I therefore challenge all participants to contribute meaningfully to the discussions on this very important area so that our nation will find that elusive path to greatness. 

Happy deliberations as I wish you a fruitful outcome.

AMANDA ASAGBA EULOGIZES REINSTATED JUSTICE OLOYEDE

FEATURED

This is Light at the end of the tunnel. Thank God for vindicating Hon. Justice Olamide Oloyede.

With this Victory, it’s a new dawn for the Judiciary, as the light of judicial activism and radicalism has just been switched on. Welcome to a proactive and radical judicial activism!!!.

All hail Hon. Justice Olamide Oloyede!!! All hail the African Women Lawyers Association (AWLA).

Hon. Justice Olamide Oluyede doubled as AWLA Oyo and Osun State Coordinator, a fearless, bold and courageous Judge who damned the consequence to fight for the people of Osun.

She spoke truth to power. This is what a Judge should be, not government puppet.

We at AWLA are very proud of my Lord.

It is recalled that the National Judicial Council (NJC) recently reinstated the fiery jurist who was sacked for writing a petition against then Governor Rauf Aregbesola, now Minister for Internal Affairs.

FUNMI ADEOGUN’S FINANCIAL INVESTMENT NUGGETS: THE THREE SERVANTS (Part 6)

ADEOGUN FUNMILOLA OLUWATOSIN LECTURES ON FINANCIAL INVESTMENT TITLED THE THREE SERVANTS (Part 6)

Remember the lesson in part 5 is that some positions require more skill or ability.

The three servants can be understood in today’s context as investment managers. Two of the stewards industriously apply the principles and invest their talents. Through successful investing and trading skills, they multiply the talents and earn a 100% return over a long-time horizon. The best-performing steward increases his initial investment from e.g. $25,600,000 to $56,320,000 of assets under management. The increase is from $25,600,000 in capital appreciation and $5,120,000 in additional deposits taken from the unproductive servant and reallocated by the master.

Faithfully using your given abilities and the inherent power and influence from wealth “dynamis” will be rewarded with additional opportunities for stewardship. To everyone who has investing and trading skills, will more be given. The master is not miserly economically.

Lesson: To everyone who has investing and trading skills, will more be given.

I WISH ALL EASTERN BAR FORUM DELEGATES JOURNEY MERCIES – AMANDA ASAGBA

WISHING ALL EASTERN BAR FORUM DELEGATES JOURNEY MERCIES 

I wish to express my profound appreciation to His Excellency, the Governor of the Eastern Bar Forum and the entire members of the Forum for their warm reception at the last quarterly meeting of the Forum in Calabar.

I am especially thankful for the opportunity to speak to the esteemed audience, and for the focused and inspiring deliberations.

The theme of the meeting was quite thought-provoking. That the EBF encourages its members to take the lead in being the voice of the voiceless and to take deliberate action to checkmate impunity and injustice is very commendable. It is no longer safe to see evil and do nothing, as this is bound to consume even the unwary in the long run.

I wish all delegates and stakeholders journey mercies.

TAIDI URGES NBA MAKURDI TO TACKLE ELECTORAL CHALLENGES AT LAW WEEK

GOODWILL MESSAGE TO NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION MAKURDI BRANCH ON HER 2022 LAW WEEK

I felicitate with the Chairman and Members of the Nigerian Bar Association Makurdi Branch on her 2022 Law Week on the theme: “Democracy, Electoral Process and Paradigm of Change in Nigeria”.

The choice of the theme for this year’s programme is apt given that the bane of our development revolves around the democratic process and the need to find a workable and less expensive model.

It is hoped that participants will take advantage of the opportunity presented by this platform to interrogate the challenges of our electoral process and fashion ways of designing an adaptive model.

I therefore challenge the organisers to endeavour to publish the outcome of this discourse for the benefit of legal practitioners in particular and Nigerians in general.

Happy and rewarding deliberations.

FUNMI ADEOGUN ON ‘THE THREE SERVANTS’ – PART 2

FEATURED

ADEOGUN FUNMILOLA OLUWATOSIN LECTURES ON FINANCIAL INVESTMENT TITLED ‘THE THREE SERVANTS’ (Part 2)
Like the three servants, we do not have gifts of the same degree, the reason different talents were given to them. Remember in Part 1,

A servant received 5 talents
The 2nd servant received 2 talents
The 3rd servant received 1 talent

The gifts we have include skills, abilities, family connections, social positions, education, experiences, and more. The point of the parable is that we are to use whatever we have been given to serve humanity.

The return expected of us is commensurate with the gifts we have been given. The servant who received one talent was not condemned for failing to reach the five-talent goal; he was condemned because he did nothing with what he was given.

Lesson: Don’t give your talent to someone that will do nothing with it.

‘WE NEED LAWYERS TO SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER,’ CLEMENT CHUKWUEMEKA TELLS NBA BWARI

Special Goodwill Message To My Branch, NBA Bwari Branch (Cradle Bar) On The Occasion of her Annual Law Week, 2022

There is always joy when you look back and discover that , your foundational Branch remains a key player in the Bar community.

The topic and the keynote speaker must have been chosen by the wisest men in this legal profession. I, Clement Ugo Chukwuemeka am not surprised to see the quality and caliber of discussants.

Bwari Branch, in the last Ten years has demonstrated capacity of standing amongst the oldest branches of NBA, chilling comfortably with the big boys branches in area of advocacy.

The above is demonstrated in the novel and epoch Theme chosen for this year’s law week. While lawyers are running away from condemnation , responsibility and blames, the leadership under the captainship of the pilot, Monday Adjeh refused to exonerate lawyers in the problem bedeviling the Nigeria space, hence the choice of the law week topic across the NBA community: THE STATE OF THE NATION, Where are the lawyers?

Lawyers in Nigeria have disappointed the Nigerian society; I can attribute all these to the lackadaisical approach of lawyers towards human rights abuses, exoneration of being the chief pressure group in the land and above all, reluctance in holding leaders accountable to their disrespect to rule of law and protection of life and property, not leaving out the religiosity monster amongst colleagues.

You can not be a judge of a court without firstly, being a lawyer! The Bench and the Bar must agree that lawyers have failed this nation and begin to thinker very quickly the solution and mechanisms as the way forward for Nigeria .

The sub-theme of the event can be seen as catalyst towards achieving a state of the nation where all amenities for survival abound. Can the lawyers perform optimally without first imbibing the ethics of the profession? Can we actualize a good state of the nation without proper administration of justice founded on the principle of rule of law? The absence of the above can never guarantee us the Dinner topic which is Unity In diversity ! We must act now.

The topic no doubt will keep all Nigerians, especially lawyers in a state of reclaiming our nation . We lawyers are responsible to the woes of this nation and it is high time we began in earnest to tell ourselves the truth about our responsibility as the soul of the nation. If we rise up today to say bad governance shall be over , it shall be so.

It is so because , the leaders of the nation submits to us to adjudicate on their existence . We owe the society a duty to do justice and when we begin to deliver meritorious judgement and lawyers that appear before the Judex maintains a high moral standard for the good of the nation , be rest assured the bad state of the nation shall be eroded and the new order of goodness shall be our portion moving forward .

In conclusion, I must thank the organizers and I sincerely felicitate with the NBA Bwari Branch as it holds her Law week. I appreciate the leadership for choosing a Democrat like me, Senator SHEHU SANI to be the keynote speaker. I cannot thank the Chairman enough for this wonderful topic, coming at a time where ethical value of a lawyer before the society is eroding by the day.

Lawyers must lead this discussion and reclaim our lost glory. In the next one month, lawyers shall be electing their leaders; we owe ourselves the duty to look inward and vote for the right candidates that could look the government of day in the face and speak truth to power as well as activate the pressure group mantra to salvage our nation.

May I wish the Chairman, Branch Executives and members of the Branch a successful Law Week.

Finally, I wish the members and participants a fun filled day .

God bless NBA Bwari Branch

God bless the Nigerian Bar Association

God bless Nigeria.

Clement Ugo Chukwuemeka, Esq.
