Today, we pause to celebrate the heart of every home, the strength behind every success, and the silent architect of our dreams—our mothers.
A mother’s love is the world’s truest anchor, steadying us through life’s storms and illuminating our paths with wisdom, sacrifice, and boundless affection. She is the first advocate we ever know, the defender of our innocence, the nurturer of our strength, and the keeper of our deepest secrets.
Long before we learned the law, we learned justice from her fairness; we learned patience from her endurance; and we learned resilience from her sacrifices.
To the mothers among us—the ones balancing the noble calling of legal practice with the sacred duty of motherhood—you are the true epitome of grace under pressure. You mold not only laws but lives, shaping the future with every lesson you teach and every sacrifice you make.
On this special day, let us celebrate all mothers—those who still walk with us and those who now live in our hearts. May their love continue to guide us, their sacrifices inspire us, and their prayers sustain us.
Happy Mother’s Day to the incredible women who make the world a kinder, wiser, and more just place.
With admiration and gratitude,
Dr. Mobolaji Ojibara
