Human Rights Lawyer and Social Critic Sir Ifeanyichukwu Ejiofor Esq in his recent article titled ‘ANOTHER GLOBAL LAUREL FROM ACROSS THE NIGER — A GROWING CHORUS OF INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION FOR AN UNRELENTING JOURNEY IN HUMAN RIGHTS ADVOCACY’ expressed his profound gratitude to the Almighty God for his recent Global Awards nomination by the Creek Multimedia as the ‘Most Outstanding Human Rights Lawyer of the Year 2926’ .
According to Ejiofor, IT CAN ONLY BE GOD!
“It is with a profound sense of honour, humility, and immense gratitude to God Almighty that I received, yet another formal notification of my NOMINATION FOR THE AWARD OF MOST OUTSTANDING HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYER OF THE YEAR 2026 by the globally recognised Creek Multimedia, publishers of Creekvibes Magazine.
According to the notification, the Joint Committee for the 5th Edition of the Creekvibes Stamp of Excellence Awards, after considering numerous nominations, has selected Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor as a distinguished honouree in the Non-Governmental Organisation Category to receive this esteemed recognition.
The Award Unveiling Ceremony is scheduled to take place on October 24th, 2026, in Lagos.
Lagos, once again, awaits another shutdown!
To our staunch followers, supporters, friends, colleagues, and well-wishers, I enjoin you all to get your dancing shoes ready. We shall, by the grace of God, gather once again to celebrate yet another remarkable recognition.
At this rate, one may be tempted to ask: Are these awards pursuing us, or are we simply running out of shelves to keep them?
But beyond the humour lies a deeper truth: every genuine recognition of service is ultimately a reminder that the work must continue.
I deeply appreciate the Management of Creek Multimedia for this honour and recognition. I do not take this nomination for granted. I receive it with profound humility and a renewed sense of responsibility.
For me, this recognition is not merely about an award or an accolade. It is, in many ways, a testament to the fact that our years of active human rights advocacy, legal intervention, defence of the vulnerable, and relentless pursuit of justice are being noticed, monitored, and appreciated beyond our immediate environment and, increasingly, on the global stage.
To God Almighty, therefore, I return all glory, honour, adoration, and thanksgiving.
Indeed, IT CAN ONLY BE GOD!
When one looks back at the journey, the struggles, the battles, the disappointments, the sacrifices, and the countless moments when the easier option would have been to simply look away, one cannot but acknowledge the abiding grace and unfailing mercy of God.
He is, indeed, a merciful God.
I also sincerely appreciate my beloved family and my colleagues in the Chambers, whose unwavering support, sacrifices, encouragement, and commitment have contributed immensely to the milestones we continue to record. Your contributions to these achievements are unprecedented and deeply appreciated.
To all our friends, supporters, and well-wishers who have consistently stood by us, prayed for us, encouraged us, and believed in the cause, I say a very big THANK YOU.
The journey continues.
The struggle for justice continues.
The defence of human dignity continues.
And by the special grace of God, the impact will continue to speak long after the applause has faded.
To God alone be all the glory.
May His Holy Name be forever praised.
AMEN”. Ejiofor said.
