I want to encourage you to keep faith in this movement. I am one individual that understands how my life is patterned by God. This my aspiration did not come to me as a surprise because God has been preparing me for a time like this.

I am aware that there are people that delight in spoiling others, I assure that they will either join us to win together or end up in shame. May I tell you brief about myself again. Since my growing up, even my blood family siblings see me as a joker or someone who imagine things beyond his capacity. Most times, they subject me to mockery but there was never a time I become an object of mockery because I stand tall all the time. This race ahead of me, alot of people have said alot of scoffing things alre...

 NBA BWARI ELECTION 2023: THE MONEME CAMPAIGN ORGANISATION REPLIES CALEB OWOWO ON HIS DESPERATE BID TO BECOME THE SECRETARY OF THE BRANCH  Our attention has been drawn to the petition  written by one Mr. Caleb Owowo against the aspiration of Mrs Chinyere Moneme.  The author of this frivolous petition is known beyond its writer.

  YOUR RIGHT TO KNOW: MY MANIFESTO!  AKPOMIEMIE MONDAY AKPOMIEMIE Learned Seniors and Distinguished colleagues, “Leaders don’t create followers, leaders create more leaders”- Tom Peters My name is Akpomiemie Monday Akpomiemie an aspirant into the position of the Publicity Secretary of the NBA Bwari Branch. My aspiration is borne out from noticeable gap wherein the office of the busy Chairman has been burdened with addition of the portfolio of a publicist. This is far from the standard practice. A Publicity Secretary is constitutionally saddled to disseminate information and news about the day to day running of the Branch, inclusive of using the office to create and maintain a good image of the Branch and its leadership at all times! My pathway to achieving the above is to work closely with the Chairman of the Branch and all the leaders in their own rights in order for me to understand their thoughts and to put them in an acceptable way to the recipient of such content. My role...
