‘YOUR INAUGURAL LECTURE IS A BOLD STEP TO REJIG OUR PYSCHE,’ SAFIYA BALARABE TELLS NBA IJEBU-ODE YLF

SAFIYA BALARABE, CANDIDATE FOR NBA TREASURER SENDS GOODWILL MESSAGE TO THE YOUNG LAWYERS’FORUM, IJEBU ODE BRANCH AS THEY HOLD THEIR FIRST INAUGURAL LECTURE

Safiya Balarabe has delivered a goodwill message to the Young Lawyers’ Forum, Ijebu Ode branch on the occasion of their first Inaugural Lecture taking place today, 23rd June, 2022. The topic for the event is “The Influence of Justice and Order in a Developing Society”.

“My regards for the leadership and members of the Young Lawyers’ Forum, Ijebu Ode branch remains firm and same is further strengthened by the boldness and capacity with which this set of young lawyers operate.

It is indeed laudable to begin a venture, especially one which houses a bag load of resourcefulness. The Forum’s Inaugural Lecture with the topic ‘The Influence of Justice and Order in a Developing Society’ and its array of notable NBA personalities as speakers fits the above description.

You have coined a topic that touches on the very soul of the Nigerian state at present. Our major setback as a nation is the willful failure to apply the tenets of the rule of law. It is my sincere prayer that this program and others like it would go a long way to rejig our mentality as a people.

I wish the Forum a successful event tomorrow.

Thank you.”

I wish your bar more excellence in all its endeavours.

Thank you.”

‘YOU’RE A BULWARK FOR LESS PRIVILEGED,’ SAFIYA BALARABE TELLS FIDA LAGOS

Read below Safiya Balarabe’s goodwill message to the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) on account of their 2022 Annual Law Week themed “Education as a Catalyst for Boosting the Self Image of the African Child”.

“FIDA, Lagos branch has over the years demonstrated an unparalleled level of capacity in championing the cause of the less privileged in the society; organizing people oriented programs and stepping in to act as a beacon of hope for those whose life experiences have dimmed their spirit.

“This year’s Law Week themed ‘Education as a catalyst for Boosting the Self Image of the African Child’ is a perfect example of the above point. This theme touches on the very soul of the African continent, its future and dynamics. We are well aware that an uneducated population is a handicapped one. This is why if the African continent is serious about pulling out of its present state of underdevelopment, it must as a matter of duty invest in the self esteem of its future generations by putting in place the necessary requirements for sound education.

I am full of praises for the leadership and members of FIDA, Lagos State for this all-important program. 

Thank you.

‘FACTORS THAT DETERMINE RETURN ON INVESTMENT,’ BY SAFIYA BALARABE

HOW TO ENSURE FAVOURABLE RETURN ON INVESTMENT

The long-run rate of return on investments ultimately determines how much wealth people accumulate over time. Always look at returns when considering mutual funds or exchange-traded funds.

Likewise, it is important to know your risk tolerance, your investment timeframe, your asset allocation and the product or business you are investing in.

A smart businessman or woman must consider these in order to ensure favourable Return on Investment

‘YOUR LAW WEEK THEME VERY APT,’ SAFIYA BALARABE TELLS NBA ILE-IFE

GOODWILL MESSAGE FROM SAFIYA BALARABE TO THE NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION, ILE-IFE BRANCH ON HER 2022 LAW WEEK

“The highly respected Chairman, Executives and Members of the great Ile-Ife branch, I extend my unalloyed regards to you on the occasion of your annual law week taking place between 30th of May to 1st of June,2022.

The chosen theme: ‘Exploring the Law as a Catalyst towards a truly Federal State’ is very apt, especially as a country that practices a federal system of government.

We have however noticed overtime that the federal system has been bastardized by politicians; turning same on its head with the resultant effect being mismanagement and embezzlement of resources across the different levels of government, lack of accountability from political leaders amongst others.

Flowing from the above, I strongly believe that with the great personalities who will be speaking on the theme, like the revered Chairman of the Body of Benchers cum a respected leader, Chief Wole Olanipekun SAN as the Guest Speaker and Prof. Abiola Sanni SAN as a keynote speaker, the theme and all topics on your Law Week program shall be well discussed and possible solutions proffered.

Once again, I wish you a wonderful Law Week celebration.

God bless you”.

SAFIYA BALARABE’S GOODWILL MESSAGE TO THE MAKURDI BRANCH ON THE OCCASION OF ITS 2022 LAW WEEK

The 2022 Law Week of the Makurdi branch of the NBA kick-started yesterday, May 27th, 2022. Read below Safiya Balarabe’s message to the branch on this occasion: “Distinguished Chairman, Executives and Members of the Makurdi branch, I extend my regards to you in this period of your Law Week celebration.

The theme: ‘Democracy, Electoral process and the paradigm of change in Nigeria’ is nothing short of apposite. Democracy in its true form portends that elected officials rule with transparency and are accountable to the people from whom they obtained legitimacy. Our Electoral Act though recently amended, still has a long way to go if we truly desire to enhance democracy in government; thus enabling a fully participatory system.

Progress is impossible without change, hence there must be a paradigm shift from the extant arrangement wherein the very people who are to be represented have no say in whom is presented to them for voting. This is necessary to wipe out the totality of the kleptocratic elites that have hindered our country’s development. . Conclusively, as you conclude your Law Week celebration, I strongly believe that you will leave no stone unturned in doing justice to this theme and drive home the all important need for change in our political system. God bless you”.

It is my desire that every young lawyer in Nigeria has access to quality opportunities to foster growth. This program is a great boost in this regard.

May your Forum never run out of steam.

Thank and God bless”

SAFIYA BALARABE PRAISES NBA EFFURUN BRANCH ON LAW WEEK

Safiya Balarabe has extended to NBA Effurun Branch a message of felicitation on the occasion of its 2022 Annual Law Week tagged, “The Role of the Judiciary in Nation Building” slated for 25th to 27th May, 2022.

The statement reads:

TREASURER NBA WOMEN FORUM, SAFIYA BALARABE FELICITATES THE EFFURUN BRANCH ON ACCOUNT OF THEIR 2022 ANNUAL LAW WEEK CELEBRATION

“The gathering of learned minds is always an assembly of immense resourcefulness.

Permit me, the Chairman, Executives and Branch Members of the Effurun branch to use this medium in extending to your gathering of distinguished learned minds my unalloyed felicitations on the occasion of your 2022 Annual Law with the carefully couched theme: ‘The Role of the Judiciary in Nation Building’.

If anyone asks what the role of the judiciary in Nation building is, it is safe to answer that the judiciary is the keeper of the nation’s sanctity without which same would be in a state of complete disarray. This underscores how important the judiciary is to any nation and this is why we must always seek to protect it. I am convinced that this event will in no small measure open our eyes all the more to the need of protecting the judiciary while it carries out this function.

I wish you a successful event.

Thank you”.

SAFIYA BALARABE LAUDS CLASFON ON A TWO-DAY JUDICIARY STAKEHOLDERS SUMMIT 2022

Safiya Balarabe has extolled the Christian Lawyers Fellowship Of Nigeria (“CLASFON”) who in partnership with the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory organized a two-day Judiciary Stakeholders Summit themed: “Promoting and Strengthening of the Nigerian Judiciary”.

According to her, “The Christian Lawyers Fellowship Of Nigeria has yet again demonstrated its profound resolve to always be in the forefront of nation building. This time around they have partnered the FCT High Court in organizing a two-day Judiciary Stakeholders Summit tagged: ‘Promoting and Strengthening of the Nigerian Judiciary’.

“This program projects an undeniable abundance of capacity from CLASFON, transcending their primary role of spiritual guidance for Christian Lawyers to temporal concerns bordering on the betterment of the nation which in itself is an offshoot of multiple biblical injunctions.

“The Chairman, Executive and branch members of the great Yenagoa Branch,

It is in anticipation of your 2022 annual Law Week celebration themed ‘Building a Stronger Judiciary’, that I wish to convey my wishes and regards to you.

Being a staunch proponent of total judicial Independence, your Law Week is one I look forward to. I am excited that we will have yet another opportunity to drive home this all important message of judicial independence, which is the most important factor in ensuring a strong judiciary in Nigeria. The judiciary they say is the last hope of the common man, but what hope is there for anyone if it cannot even carry itself?

In the same vein, I also look forward to the paper presentation with the topic: “Nullification of Executive Order 10 and its implication in the quest for Judicial Financial Autonomy”.

I wish you a great Law Week ahead, and may the deliberations therein be put into action for the betterment of your Branch, our noble association and the country at large.

Thank you”.

Following the birthday and retirement of Hon. Justice Mary Peter Odili from the Supreme Court, Safiya Balarabe has felicitated with the jurist on this dual celebration.

Her message reads:

“My Lord, Honourable Justice, you are a constant inspiration to all gentlemen in skirt and to all women.

You are a blessing to humankind, a pacesetter, a rare gem, an achiever and a success story. It is amazing how you have walked the paths of the legal journey from the Rivers State Magistracy up to the highest court of the land, the Supreme Court. This is no mean feat neither is it an easy journey in a country such as ours. 44 years in the judiciary is no joke!

It was equally no child’s play as you combined service at the Judiciary as well as your position as the First Lady of Rivers State; indeed you are a great woman.

Your achievement in the Judiciary will never be forgotten, it will continue to inspire us all to reach for the greater heights possible.

My Lord, as you retire today, I wish you a happy retirement, I bring you glad tidings, I wish you the very best and above all, I wish you good fruits from your good labour.

Further more, as your retirement is same day with your 70th birthday, I wish you long life, prosperity and unending happiness. You will continue to celebrate many more years.

Happy birthday, My Lord and God will continue to bless you”.

The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Women Forum Treasurer, Safiya Balarabe has urged Muslims to “hold fast” to the tenets of the Ramadan month.

Said Balarabe: “My fellow Muslim brethren, As-salaam alaikum.

“We are witnessing yet another celebration of our Islam faith, having undergone a rigorous 30-day period of communion with Almighty Allah, wherein we fasted and prayed in deep retrospect of our lives.

“Today as we celebrate the breaking of the fast, thanking Almighty Allah for sustaining us throughout the period, we should by every means hold fast the core tenets of the Ramadan period as entrenched in the teachings of the Holy Quran and championed by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This is necessary especially as our dear nation is faced with myriads of social, moral and economic problems. We as Muslims must indeed be the shining light and herald a positive turnaround for our dear nation.

“I wish us all Eid Mubarak. May Almighty Allah continue to bless and protect us all the days of our lives, Ameen.”
