It was a Friday, and the date was September 5, 2025.  It was really a blessed day. The rains that had been pounding Cameroon’s economic capital, Douala, for a number of days before then, on that blessed Friday gave way to a bright weather.

The event of the day was the dedication of SR DR NTUMFOR BARRISTER NICO HALLE AWARD GALLERY, while the venue was the SHALOM Building, ‘Ancienne Route’ Bonassama – Bonaberi, Douala, precisely in the section of the huge building occupied by the NICO HALLE & CO LAW FIRM. The humble proprietor of the beautiful and gigantic building is the happy couple, NICO HALLE, and wife, JUSTINE HALLE.

As of that blessed day of September 5, 2025, the, SIR DR NTUMFOR BARRISTER NICO HALLE AWARD GALLERY, counted the record breaking number of 202 (Two hundred and two) national and international awards received by Sir Dr Ntumfor Barrister Nic Halle, for the great work he has been doing over the years, for the interest of humanity and society, all to God’s glory and honour.

Crusader For Peace And Justice / Fight Against Corruption Etc/ Election Observer 

It should be noted that besides Nico Halle’s profession as a lawyer (an International Legal consultant) which is what puts food on his table, the son of a Man – of – God and a committed Christian, has for over 30 years been strongly engaged in Crusading for Peace and Justice in. As Halle always puts it, Genuine Peace and Justice are interwoven; they go hand –in – hand, for there can be  no genuine peace in a society, in an institution, in a community, in an organization, in a country, in a continent and  the world at large,  without justice. When there is justice in the society, a conducive, climate or environment, is created for peace to flow.  The existence of justice creates the environment for sustainable peace.

Meanwhile, besides his noble mission of crusading for Peace and justice, the highly spiritual Nico Halle has also for several years been highly engaged in the Fight against Corruption, Discrimination, Juvenile Delinquency, Embezzlement, Hate Speech, Xenophobia, Tribalism, Fraud, other societal ills. All these crusades, each and every year, entails a lot of sacrifices by Niico Halle, as they all require lots of  time and energy, as well much  material and financial sacrifices. It should be added that besides his profession and the several crusades in which Nico Halle is deeply engaged, he is also an Election Expert, and an International Election Observer. It should as well be added that Nico Halle is very much involved in community development, and without discrimination.

Awards As Recognitions, Appreciations, Encouragement

This record breaking number of 202 national and international awards that Sir Dr Ntumfor Barrister Nico Halle has received as of today, and that are preserved in the award gallery that was dedicated on that blessed day of September 5, 2025, are all in recognition of the laudable efforts, as well as realizations or success stories, that Halle has over the years been making in the crusades, as well as in other domains like election organization, election supervision, and election monitoring, that he has been engaged in, all  for the interest of humanity and society.

So the untiring and daring efforts that  Nico Halle has  over the years been making in his crusades,  which all  entails so  personal sacrifices in a world where people generally  care  less as to what happen to others,  have  been so  much appreciated  by  national and international  associations, forums, institutions and organizations with pads on the back , by the several awards. The awards of course serve as an encouragement to Nico Halle, to continue his humanitarian mission on this earth. .

However, as Rev Pastor FONCHAM EZEKIEL rightly said at the ceremony to dedicate the SIR DR NTUMFOR BARRISTER NICO HALLE AWARD GALLERY: “Our Chief Celebrant today, Sir Dr Ntumfor Barrister Nico Halle and Dame Justine Halle, did not set out for the awards which are being dedicated, as their utmost goal. The inordinate quest for peace was their driving force. They set out to do all things through Christ who gave them the strength (Phil. 4:3)”.

Chairman / College Of Clergy 

Meanwhile, the Chairman of the September 5, 2025 event to dedicate the SIR DR NTUMFOR BARRISTER NICO HALLE AWARD GALLERY, was a highly respected personality in the person of Prof PAUL MBANGWANA, while the abled MC of the event was a talented US trained lawyer, Barrister JOHN HALLE.   Rev Pastor BAME SAMUEL gave the opening prayers.  The dedication proper of the award galley was done by a College of Clergy that included among others Rev Pastor MARY WOSE NDUMA, who is the Presbytery Secretary of the Mungo (Presbytery) of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon, PCC, as well as the Parish Pastor of PC Bonaberi – Douala Congregation. There was also the Presbytery Secretary of the East Mungo South (Presbytery) of the PCC, Rev Pastor FONCHAM EZEKIEL, who is as well the Parish Pastor of PC Bonamoussadi – Douala. There was the aforementioned Rev BAME SAMUEL, as well as Rev MEKOMBA FRANCIS.

Besides PCC Pastors, there was also among the Clergy, Bishop Dr.  PIUS INOBUH BAH, of the Revive Christian Church International. As Sir Dr Ntumfor Barrister Nico Halle, who is a Christian of the PCC stated at the occasion, he worships God and not religious denominations, and so is thus opened to all pastors and priests, depending on their individual character.  Nico Halle for example had on different occasions invited to his invents, Priests of the Roman Catholic Church like the Archbishop of Douala, Mgr SAMUEL KLEDA, and the Bishop Emeritus of Buea, IMMANUEL BUSHU. At one time, Niico Halle even succeeded to bring CARDINAL CHRISTIAN TUMI (now of blessed memory), to attend a ceremony at  the Presbyterian Church.  Worthy of note that the Bishop of Buea, Mgr MICHAEL BIBI, was supposed to attend the dedication of  SIR DR NTUMFOR BARRISTER NICO HALLE AWARD GALLERY, but the event came up when he was out of the country, precisely in the United States.

Event Was In Two Parts

Meanwhile, the September 5, 2025 event to dedicate the SR DR NTUMFOR BARRISTER NICO HALLE AWARD GALLERY, was, divided into two parts. The first part of the event held in the conference room of the NICO HALLE & CO LAW FIRM.

The Chairman of the event, Prof Paul Mbangwana, in his opening remarks stated that the Lord has over the years blessed Nico Halle, and appointed him to many areas of intervention in life. He went on to say that God has not only appointed Halle, but has as well anointed him to impact society. He was happy to observe that Nico Halle has from all indications continued to move in the right direction, by always recognizing the fact that there is a mighty hand, God’s hand, behind all what he does or achieve.

Still in the opening phase of the first part of the event, Nico Halle took the floor to introduce, as well thank all the invitees and other personalities, who included his friends, colleagues (lawyers), and family members that included his dear wife, Justine Halle. Worthy of note, that the Consul General of India to Cameroon, RAVI KUMA, was among the limited number of Halle’s friends that were invited to the occasion.

Goodwill Messages To Nico Halle

Meanwhile a number of goodwill messages were registered.  One of the goodwill messages was from the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon, Rt Rev MIKI HANS ABIA, who could not personally attend the event, because, he was out of the country on a pastoral visit, precisely  in the United Kingdom. Another goodwill message came from the Bishop of Buea, Mgr MICHAEL BIBI, who, as aforementioned, could not attend the event in person because he too was out the country, precisely in the United States. Fon FOZO”O, the traditional ruler of Awing, in Santa Sub-division, Mezam Division in the Northwest Region, from where Nico Halle hails, also sent a goodwill message on the occasion of the dedication of the Award Gallery. Worthy of note that one of the 202 awards  in the SIR DR NTUMFOR BARRISTER NICO HALLE AWARD GALLERY, came from the Awing Palace, on behalf of the Awing people.

Meanwhile, His Excellency ANUA –GHEYLE SOLOMON AZOH – MBI, Cameroon’s High Commissioner to South Africa, who is Nico Halle’s brother, also addressed him a message of goodwill from his base in Pretoria, on the occasion of the dedication of what the diplomat aptly described as a “massive and impressive” Award Gallery.  “It is a living testimony to the impactful footprints you leave, as you walk through this world”, HE Azoh – Mbi, told Nico Halle in his goodwill message.  “Your Award Gallery conveys the silent but strong message that you do not live for yourself, but for others, and it is indeed heartening to note that many individuals and institutions acknowledge and appreciate what you believe in, what you do, and what you stand for. I know that for you, the ultimate recognition and reward is with your Maker and Master in realms beyond our earthly sojourn”, he added.

HE Azoh – Mbi said he was humbled and inspired  by Nico Halle’s example of being a willing and worthy instrument in God’s hands, for  the accomplishment of his good and glorious plans and purposes.

 Profile Of The Chief Celebrant, Nico Halle

Meanwhile, one of the major highlight of the first part of the September 5, 2025, event was the presentation of the profile of the Chief Celebrant, Sir Dr Ntumfor Barrister Nico Halle, by Bishop Dr Pius Inobuh Bah. The Man –of – God, Writer and Human Rights Defender, Bishop Bah, presented a rich and interesting profile of Nico Halle as a Peace Crusader, a Crusader for Justice, as well as an advocate against Corruption, Embezzlement, Hate Speech and other societal ills, or moral decadence in all its forms, in the society. He also presented Nico Halle in his capacity as an Election Expert and an International Election Observer.  The rich profile of Sir Dr Ntumfor Barrister Nico Halle that was presented by Bishop Dr Pius Inobuh Bah will be the subject of a separate article by The Mentor News.

Dedication Proper Of The Award Gallery

   Meanwhile Part 2 of the September 5, 2025 event was the dedication proper of SIR DR NTUMFOR NICO HALLE AWARD GALLERY.  Before the ribbon was cut to formally open the award gallery, Rev Pastor Foncham Ezekiel who is Presbytery Secretary of the East Mungo South (Presbytery) of the PCC, as well as the Parish Pastor of PC Bonamoussadi – Douala, reflected on “the profound sacrifices of time and talent by Sir Dr Ntumfor Barrister Nico Halle, both as a national and international trotter on mission for world peace”.   The rich reflection by Rev Foncham, will be the subject of another article by The Mentor News.

Meanwhile as the ribbon was being cut to formally open the SIR DR NTUMFOR BARRISTER NICO HALLE AWARD GALLERY, Rev Pastor Mary Wose Nduma, the Presbytery Secretary of Mungo (Presbytery), of the PCC, who doubles as the Parish Pastor of PC Bonaberi – Douala Congregation, prayed for peace: “Peace be to the compound. Peace, be to all who love the Lord, Jesus Christ. Peace be to all those who will come here”. Inside the Award Gallery, Rev Mary Wose Nduma, who as others was visible very impressed with what she saw, asserted that the gallery will definitely be a place of inspiration and learning to many visitors.

 Giving It Back To God

Meanwhile, speaking to the media at the end of the dedication of the SIR DR NTUMFOR BARRISTER NICO HALLE AWARD GALLERY, the Presbytery Secretary, Rev Pastor Mary Wose Nduma, said:  “The Bible tells us that everything we have is from God. So whatever thing we have acquired in life, the first person we should think of, giving it back to, is God. Today, we have come to dedicate this award gallery, and as I said, it is a place of learning. Many people will come there, see, the various awards that have been given to Ntumfor Nico Halle, and will become inspired by what they see. It is also going to motivate other people, if not to be a Peace Crusader, to serve humanity with humility (like Ntumfor). And so dedicating this award gallery today, we are saying that, more will come, and that God continues to bless the work he is doing, so that many lives will be transformed”.

The Halle Family Dedicates Award Gallery To God

Speaking to the media also, the Chief Celebrant of the event, Sir Dr Ntumfor Barrister Nico Halle, said his family has dedicated the Award Gallery to God, the Almighty Father. He regretted that man is full of pride, and is often tempted to wrongly arrogate to himself credit for his successes or blessings.  “When you are blessed, know that the blessings are coming from the Almighty. You cannot be blessed by people all over the world, and you take that for granted. It doesn’t come from you. You don’t arrogate to yourself the source of all these blessings. It is the Almighty Father. So my family is dedicating the award gallery to God”, Nico Halle, declared.

Nico Halle reiterated that he cannot arrogate to himself the credit for the record number of 202 awards, that have come from the across the world.  The 202 awards include Distinctions, Certificates, Acknowledgments, Medals, and so on. “One cannot claim that he deserves all these. If you are humble, you say Papa God, thank you. It can only be God”, Halle said.. He said the SIIR DR NTUMFOR BARRISTER NICO HALLE AWARD GALLERY that was dedicated on the blessed day, Friday, September 5, 2025, would be open as from that day, for people to visit and take inspiration.

“All I Do Is Serving God”

Sir Dr Ntumfor Barrister Nico Halle said all he does in mission on earth, is serving God. “All I do is serving God, and until I die, I will continue to serve God. Awards mean noting, if I am not using those awards to God’s glory and homour. The award should make me humble, they should make me more determined to continue to crusade for peace and justice, that I have been doing over the years”, Halle said. He also made mentioned of the aggressive fights he has been waging corruption, hate speech, embezzlement, in fact, moral decadence in all its forms. “As long as I breathe, I will not relent in the crusade for peace and justice, and as well in the fight against moral decadence. I know God will stand by me to continue with the crusade and the fight against moral decadence in all its forms, for the good of humanity”, Nico Halle declared.

Sir Dr Ntumfor Barrister Nico Halle, as always, paid glowing tribute to his wife, Justine Halle, for her unflinching support in standing solidly by him, no matter the odds, in his crusade and other things that he has committed his life to doing, for the interest of humanity and society, all to God’s Glory and Honour. “I am thanking my wife, Justine Halle, who has stood by me unconditionally since we got married over 40 years ago.  She has been an inspiration. Without the support of your wife, you cannot succeed. If you have the kind of woman I am blessed to have, you can move things”, Halle asserted.
