"The greatest glory of living is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Mother Teresa

It was a moment of great joy and celebration as the Mike Ozekhome Foundation (MOF) marked the culmination of its yearly activities on December 30, 2025, at the country home of the revered legal Luminary Wordsmith and nation builder Prof. Mike Ozekhome, SAN, CON, OFR, in Iviukwe, near Agenebode in Etsako East LGA. This annual event, which began in 1987, is a testament to the foundation's commitment to giving back to the community.

The event was a poignant reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness can have a profound impact on someone's life. The foundation's efforts to support indigent students, peasant market women, farmers, the handicapped, and the most vulnerable members of society are a shining example of humanitarian work in action.

By providing scholarships, grants, and other forms of support, MOF is helping to empower individuals and families to rise above their circumstances and build a brighter future.

•Some highlights from the event include:

- Scholarships awarded to deserving students to pursue their educational dreams

- Grants handed out to support small businesses and ventures, enabling individuals to earn a living and provide for their families

- Exciting football matches and award presentations, bringing the community together and promoting sportsmanship and teamwork

- Recognition of outstanding individuals and teams, inspiring others to strive for excellence

As we reflect on the work of the Mike Ozekhome Foundation, we are reminded that helping the needy is not just a moral obligation, but a fundamental aspect of building a more compassionate and equitable society.
