The Crusader For Peace And Justice Stresses That: “We Need To First Build Love In Our Country, To Have Genuine Justice And Peace”. HALLE Says Any Lawyer Who Gives Money To Win A Case, Has Bought Justice. As For Mgr Kleda, Halle Recalls: “When I Listened To Archbishop KLEDA Speak During The Visit Of Pope XIV, I Was Quite Impressed. He Underscored Core Moral Values Like Love, Peace, Justice, Harmony, Reconciliation”.
The renowned International Peace Crusader, Sir Dr Barrister Ntumfor Nico Halle, who also Crusades for Justice, as well as Fight against Hate Speech and Corruption including Embezzlement, has cried out that corruption, including embezzlement, has destroyed the foundations of many African countries.
Halle is at pains that though God has blessed Africa with abundant natural resources, the masses in many African countries are impoverished, they are suffocating in misery because of bad governance, which include corruption, embezzlement of funds, impunity, looting or theft of natural resources (often with the complicity of foreign accomplices), injustice, lack of transparency , lack of accountability, and so on, by a handful of people in authority, or by some unscrupulous members of regimes, in those countries.
Sir Dr Nico Halle says as result, the masses in these countries live in abject poverty and misery, while a few personalities swim in stolen wealth, or riches that they cannot justify. Halle has stressed the fact that State resources in all countries, are common wealth, meaning that they are meant for all, and not for a handful of people. He says it is really painful as an African, and very humiliating for the African continent as well, when one sees on television every now and then, people having been reduced to almost skeletons in some African countries because of hunger, disease and misery, while at the same time the authorities are living in provocative affluence, which is stolen State funds.
Visit Of Archbishop Of Douala
The International Peace Crusader, Nico Halle, was speaking during the visit of the Metropolitan Archbishop of Douala, Mgr Samuel Kleda, to the Sir Dr Barrister Nico Halle Award Gallery at the SHALLON Building in Bonaberi, Douala, on Thursday, September 22, 2026. Mgr Kleda , who is a Man – Of – God renowned for his outspokenness against ills in the society or country, was accompanied on the visit by the Bishop of Moudou Diocese in Chad, Mgr Joachin Kouraleyo, who was on a visit to Cameroon, as well as by some of his close collaborators at the Douala Archdiocese.
The highlights of the occasion included a working session which held at the Conference room of the Nico Halle & Co Law Firm, and the visit proper to the award gallery.
“I Feel Very Blessed With The Visit”
Speaking at the occasion, Sir Dr Barrister Ntumfor Nico Halle, said he was very blessed and humbled to receive the renowned Metropolitan Archbishop of Douala, Mgr Samuel Kleda, and his powerful delegation which included his colleague from Chad, Bishop Joachin Kouraleyo.Tarounga
Halle pointed out that Mgr Kleda is reputed for his frank or honest talk, and his love for humanity. “When I listened to Archbishop Kleda during the visit of Pope Louis X1V to Cameroon a few months ago, I was quite impressed because he underscored Love, Peace, Justice, Harmony, and Reconciliation. I felt so blessed listening to him, and I think people like him who stand for these values, should come to the Award Gallery, and see what these values have done”, Halle stated.
Halle congratulated Mgr Samuel Kleda for all what he doing for humanity, for his frank talk, for talking facts and facing facts, for being very humble in his deeds, and thus not being arrogant, for not insulting people, and above all for being a true servant of God as he appears to be.
Sir Dr Barrister Ntumfor Nico Halle said considering the values that Archbishop Samuel Kleda, upholds, it was just but normal that he should visit the award galley. “We are talking about awards that were gotten from crusading for peace and justice, and fighting against corruption including embezzlement, fighting against Hate speech and all forms of moral decadence. And so it is just normal for a man of Mgr Kleda’s caliber, to stop by to see what his brother has been able to do, or has achieved, for over 30 years of crusading for Peace and Justice, and fighting against Corruption, Hate Speech, and moral decadence in its forms. All Men – of – God preach peace, justice, and so on. Nobody has monopoly of knowledge. So people stop by at the award gallery, to also learn”. Halle explained in response to a journalist’s question.
Halle also recalled that he has always made it clear, that the Sir Dr Barrister Ntumfor Nico Halle Award Gallery, does not belong to him, but rather it belongs to Cameroon, Africa, and the world at large.
Crusade For Peace And Justice / Fight Against Corruption, Hate Speech
Sir Dr Barrister Ntumfor Nico Halle also made a brief presentation of his Crusade for Peace and Justice, as well as his Fight against Corruption (including embezzlement) , Bad Governance, Hate Speech and other ills in the society, to the august visitors, Men – of – God. Halle also explained to them the concept he has come up with – The Rule of Love. He expressed the need for the Rule of Love to replace the Rule of Law, which from all indications, have failed the world over.
The International Peace Crusader, Nico Halle, stressed the importance of peace, asserting that “peace is in reality the most precious thing to any human being”. He said when somebody has peace, he, has almost everything, if not everything. He noted that some 50 % of the national and international awards and distinctions he has received are in the domain of peace, which reflects the level of his commitment and involvement in working for peace in the society, country, the continent and the world at large.
The Need To Build Genuine Love
Nico Halle regretted that in Cameroon today, we should be talking of the need to invest in peace, whereas we ought to have been talking about enjoying peace in our country. “What we all need to do for the interest of our country and people is, to strive to effectively build Genuine LOVE. If we build love, there will justice, and peace will automatically follow. There cannot be genuine peace in any society, country, or even in an organization or association, if there is no justice. For justice to prevail in any society there, must be love in that society. When we love ourselves, we can commit or do injustice, or promote injustice against each other. If we love ourselves, there will thus be justice, and when there is justice, peace will naturally follow”, Nico Halle explained.
Talking on the role of lawyers (Men –of –Law), in promoting justice in the society, Nico Halle, who is a lawyer by profession, and is in fact an international legal consultant, warned that any lawyer that gives money to win a case in court, has shamefully and scandalously bought justice, and is thus indisputably a bad lawyer. He explained that a good lawyer is a lawyer who works hard to wins cases that he is supposed to win, and lose those that he is supposed to lose.
The Bible, A Book O Good Governance, Communal Liberalism
Sir Dr Barrister Ntumfor Nico Halle, while reiterating his unwavering commitment to continue to work for humanity and the society to God’s glory, opined that that the best book in the world is the Holy Bible (word of God). But he cautioned that it is does not just suffice for somebody to get a copy of the Bible, or to read the Bible, or to be able to quote chapters in the Bible. He laid emphasis on the importance to read the Bible, understand what the Bible says, and strive to practice or implement what the Bible says, which is the word of God.
Nico Halle also presented at the occasion presented a number of books from his library, and one was a book on Good Governance that was funded by the State or Government. He also presented the book, Communal Liberalism, which talks about Rigour and Moralization. Halle appreciated the content of the books, explaining that his interest in a book is based on the content and not on the author. He remarked that the contents of the book on Good Governance, as well as the book, Communal Liberalism, are both good. But he said the problem is that from all indications, the contents of these books have never been implemented for the interest of our country and people. “If those books were read, and the contents implemented, we will not be where we are today”, Halle stated.
Drew Inspiration From His Father
Meanwhile , tracing the source of what inspired him to become a peace crusader, Nico Halle explained that as a young man, or better still, when he was a student, he drew inspiration for Peace Crusading from his father, a man – of – God, whom he used to accompany when he went home for holidays. He used to carry the bag of his father, and accompanied him as he went round the locality preaching peace, preaching the importance of core moral values, and the need for people to strive to embrace those values, as well as reconciling people. He expressed profound gratitude to his father for having groomed him to effectively embrace core values.
Nico Halle thanked his father, as well as his beloved mother, for the good they did to him, by bringing him up, in fear of the Lord. He said he would never stop to express profound gratitude to his parents, even though now of blessed memory, for the good moral upbringing they gave him. “Bring up a child in the fear of the Lord”, Nico Halle advised all parents.
Latest Awards At The Sir DR Barrister Nico Halle Award Gallery
Meanwhile, during the working session that took place during the visit of the Metropolitan Archbishop of Douala, Samuel Kleda, to Sir Dr Barrister Ntumfor Nico Halle Award Gallery, Nico Halle presented the two latest distinctions, awards that he has received. They included a CERTIFICATE OF RECOGNITION by the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon, PCC, precisely, the Men’s Work Department, signed by the Moderator of PCC, Rt Rev. Miki Hans Abia, with a message: Gal: 6: 9 “So let us not become tired of doing good, for we do not give up. The time will come when we will reap the harvest”.
The other award was CERTIFICATE OF APPRECIATION by the Cameroon English language Newspapers Publishers Association, CENPA, thanking Sir Dr Barrister Ntumfor Nico Halle, for his “sustained, indiscriminate availability and guidance to the entire press corps in Cameroon”.
The two new awards, put the total number of national and international distinctions and awards at the Sir Dr Barrister Ntumfor Nico Halle Award gallery, to a record number of 212.
Sir Dr Barrister Ntumfor Nico Halle appreciated the awards from the PCC and CENPA, just as the other 210 awards that were already in the award gallery. But Nico Halle, the International Peace Crusader, who also crusades for Justice in the society, as well as Fight against Corruption and Hate Speech, stated that no matter the number of awards that one has, the awards can only make meaning or be useful, if they are used to impact society. He thus said the question that any person that has received an award should ask himself, is if he is using the award to impact society.
