Hon. Los Angeles & Inland Empire Members, Beloved Inductee members, Respected Guests, Ladies & Gentlemen: All protocol observed! Good evening to you all. It is with much grace and honor that I welcome our respected guests, VIPs/eminent personalities, beloved husbands/other family members, and especially you, the glamorous and honorable members and leaders, of this respected grassroots organization called Umuada Ndi-Igbo in Diaspora, Inc. & Trademarked. I sincerely thank you all for taking time off your very busy 5

schedules, especially those that travelled a long way, to be here with us this evening. Your presence here today is eloquent testimony to how close to your hearts you hold Umuada Ndi-Igb in Diaspora and its core values. To all those who worked tirelessly, day and night, planning and putting everything in place to make this event a reality, I say THANK YOU VERY MUCH! My special thanks to members of the National, Regional, State and Chapter Executives for the selfless sacrifices you have made to keep this grassroots movement alive and ticking! To the heads & members of the Planning Committee: May the Lord Almighty Bless you and reward you abundantly for the time and other resources you have put in to give us this brilliantly gorgeous evening! Thank God too for transforming a mere dream into the huge reality we now see here today, as well as for guiding us and sustaining this organization since it was born some four years ago! Amen. Before I proceed I want to take a moment to reflect on our eventful journey from when we started this organization up until this very moment. When we started we gave ourselves these goals: 1) Mobilization of Igbo women towards Igbo unity and progress – ODINMA IGBO. 2) Preservation of our fast fading Igbo Language, Tradition and Culture. 3) Women Empowerment 4) Youth Development/Empowerment 5) Promoting Healthy Matrimonial Relationships / Fighting against domestic violence 6) Promoting Unity amongst Umuada with ultimate aim of bringing all Ndi Igbo in the Diaspora together. Benefits of UMUADA membership include: National Membership ID Cards, which is symbol of the Umuada Igbo Nigeria in Diaspora Inc. pride! Promote, empower, assist and patronize our members in business, politics, education, public service and other careers by way of networking. Fellow Umuada standing/identifying with, and supporting one another, in times of need or celebration. Providing/encouraging free flow of useful ideas and information within the Umuada family. This kind of information becomes useful and handy to those intending to set up businesses or other such projects, both here in Diaspora and back home. Our successes: The Umuada Ndi-Igbo in Diaspora, Inc. story has been one of a miracle. In fact we started with absolutely nothing (not even a dime), but succeeded in making Umuada Ndi-Igbo in Diaspora, Inc. a household name in the USA within less than two years. There is currently hardly any segment of the Igbo Community here in the USA 6

that Umuada Ndi-Igbo in Diaspora, Inc. is not known. All this is thanks to our very hard working members and their leaders. Other successes include: Umuada Ndi-Igbo in Diaspora, Inc. is duly registered & trademarked with the state of California and the US Federal Gov’t as a not for profit organization; We are one of a few organizations of similar standing with a physical International; A beautifully crafted and trademarked uniform; Fast growth/expansion in the USA —- 8 chapters and counting! Liaising with Arik Airline through Life & Time Magazine, and other potential sponsors to help us muster resources to help realize our goals and objectives; Liaising with women in Nigeria(thanks to the efforts of the West Coast Coordinator) with the intention of setting up chapters of Nigeria; Plans underway to establish cassava processing plants in Nigeria to assist and empower the local women; Plans to start writing grants to raise money needed to establish our LONG TERM VISION of setting an UMUADA CENTER NDI-IGBO CENTER for CULTURAL AWARENESS, WOMEN EMPOWERMRNT AND COUNSELLING CENTER FOR WOMEN/CHILDREN VICTIMS OF ABUSE AND NEGLECT, AND FOR SHORT-TERM HOUSING. Umuada Ndi-Igbo recently created waves in Nigeria National politics by weighing-in in the Child marriage Act at the Nigeria National Senate. Establishing and inaugurating the Umuada Ndi-Igbo in Diaspora, Inc. Website (thanks to our able Vice President (Chief Uloma). Also, Umuada Ndi-Igbo in Diaspora, Inc. has been represented (with flying colors) at the various national & international events, including Nwada Igbo dinma di ogo Beauty Contest in December of 2009, in Nigeria by the USA National Coordinator/Chairperson; WIC Board Meeting in Canada, June 2009. Other special events/activities include: * Participation in the Martin Luther King Day Parade in Los Angeles, by both the Los Angeles and Inland Empire Chapters in 2013; * Visit/presentation of gifts to the Los Angeles Children Hospital, as well as the Battered Women Shelter in 2012, by Los Angeles Chapter members; * Visit/presentation of gifts to the Battered Women Shelter in the Inland Empire by the Inland Empire Chapter members 2013; * Participation in the ABC News organized TOY DRIVE for Children in 2013 by the Los Angeles Chapter. This is just to name a few. I want to thank the wonderful women of the Los Angeles Umuada Ndi-Igbo Day in California

and Inland Empire chapters for all the wonderful community service. I am very proud of you. Challenges: Our journey has not been smooth, though. We have had our own fair share of problems. There have been accusations and counter accusations; suspicion of one another as well as well as lack of trust by some elements of our great organization. It got so worse to the point where a few misguided members took the law into their own hands and decided to disregard every directive by the National Executive and the constitution. They ended up breaking away to form their own group. Unfortunately they did so with our funds. We did appeal several times for them to refund our money, but they refused. We also pleaded with community leaders to appeal to them to do what is right and refund our money but they ignored every piece of advice. We ended up in court and won. I thank the members and leaders of this wonderful organization for fighting hard for their rights. So long as we continue to stay strong and remain focused, only the sky will be our limit, God Willing! Our theme for the 2014 California Day is BREAST CANCER AWARENESS, RESEARCH & CURE. As women, there are few assets, if any, that we hold very dear and which deserve more of our attention than our breasts. Breast health is obviously an issue we cannot afford to ignore or take lightly. Breast Cancer awareness is definitely something every woman should take very seriously, especially knowing that cancer of the breast is the most common cancer in women, killing about half a million women every year world-wide. Unfortunately, most of us are still lagging behind other ethnic groups in the USA, as far as breast cancer awareness is concerned. The theme could not have been better, and it could not have come at any better time than now! It is for this reason that I consider tonight’s events to be history-making! We are here to raise funds and contribute in our little way towards the fight against breast cancer. We will also be raising money for scholarships/tuition for deserving students here. I thank you very much for coming, and pray you to donate generously to these worthy causes. The Lord will surely reward you abundantly. I wish to seize this opportunity to also remind our donors that Umuada Ndi-Igbo in Diaspora, Inc. is a 501(c) (3) Status organization registered & trademarked with the state of California. This means you will be able to write-off any donations you will be making, when you file your taxes. Many thanks for your kind donations. We are also bound by law to account for any penny we receive. My beloved new inductees, I want to let you know that the National Executive Committee of Umuada NdiIgbo in Diaspora, Inc., has much faith and trust in you. In the same vein, we also appreciate your untainted desire to be members of this wonderful organization. Your loyalty and support for the leadership and structures of this organization is also much solicited and appreciated. Umuada Ndi-Igbo Day in California

It is our hope that the enthusiasm you are bringing with you will inject a new dose of positive energy and hope for a brighter future for Umuada Ndi-Igbo in Diaspora, Inc. We do welcome you all with open arms! Thank you very much for identifying with our stated goals and objectives. May your stay with us be a joyous one!! Thank you very much also, our respected guests. We remain indebted to you for all the support and contributions you make to the wellbeing of this organization. Our dear husbands and families, you are always there for us… day in and day out! We wouldn’t be talking about Umuada Ndi-Igbo in Diaspora, Inc., if it were not for your blessing, support and patronage. Thank you for all you do for us. We are, as usual, proud of you! To my beloved Umuada sisters: this organization is standing straight and growing taller every day because of the enormous sacrifices you make every day, in time, cash and kind! If it were possible, I would mention every single one of you by name. But that is impossible. So all I can say is THANK YOU VERY MUCH. My Special Thanks to our hardworking West Coast Regional Coordinator; our very able National Vice President; the ever ready National Secretary – General and all other National Executives! My sincere appreciation to the very capable Coordinators of the Los Angeles and Inland Empire Chapters and their respective Executive Committee Members! I am proud of all of you. Last but not least, I want to express my sincere gratitude to members of the Planning Committees of the two chapters (LA & IE) for a job well done! We would not be here this evening if it were not for your great organization and planning skills. Thank you very much for all the hard work. May the Lord continue to show us the way, as Umuada Ndi-Igbo in Diaspora, Inc. has come to stay!! Long Live Umuada Ndi-Igbo Nigeria in the Diaspora, Inc. Long Live Ndi-Igbo Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Umuada Ndi-Igbo Day in California

Address by Mrs. Nne Nne Bosah LA Chapter Coordinator

Good evening, first I must say to our Honorable Chairman, our loving husbands, special guests of honor, friends, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen. It is with much humility and gratitude to God that I welcome you to this event our Umuada Ndi Day/Fundraising Night. I appreciate your time, presence and generosity. Umuada Ndi Igbo Los Chapter has been through trials in the past few years in which breakage as well as financial loss has occurred. For that reason, members have left to establish their own path. Notwithstanding all the trials, I wish them well. Umuada Ndi Igbo are still becoming stronger and increasing in numbers. I am proud to say that the Los Angeles Chapter has added over twenty new members. I am also proud to report that under my leadership and with the support of my respected SISTERS, Umuada Ndi Igbo Los Angeles chapter has reawakened our spirit of SISTERHOOD again. With the resurgence of this strong sisterhood, we have participated in many community events which are corner stone in making our community much stronger. • We started out by showing our presence at the Spark of Love – Channel 7 ABC Toy Drive in the City of Cerritos. There we delivered toys and made monetary donation for the children. • We also visited Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. We gave presents to the children along with some words of encouragement to help them through their time of illness and Umuada Ndi-Igbo Day in California

to assure them that things were going to get better. This actually brought smiles to their faces, joy and hope to their hearts. • Also visited was the Sojourn Services for battered women in Santa Monica. We enjoyed visiting this place because we are women and want to be a support system for those who need to know that life can be beautiful and there will always be someone there for you. At the home we gave some monetary donation as well. • Finally was the Martin Luther King Parade Los Angeles on January 2013, where we in the parade dressed in our traditional clothing and played Nigerian music. This was done to promote Nigerian cultural spirit. Our plan is to utilize the proceeds from this event to support Breast Cancer Awareness at home (Nigeria) and here in Los Angeles and also give scholarship to our children. We will appreciate your generous donations and will assure you that your contributions will be judiciously utilized as per Umuada Ndi Igbos’ vision and initiatives. I would like to use this opportunity to thank all members of Umuada Ndi Igbo California for making this event possible. A special thanks to the event planning committee, our Matron Lolo B. Agu. Thank you for your support. My special thanks to our West Coast Regional Coordinator Lady Mrs Ozo Ibekwe for her leadership, and also making sure that our event is successful. To Chief & Mrs. Anayo Akametaluy, Chief and Mrs. Emma Obiorah, on behalf of LA Chapter, I must say a very BIG APPRECIATED THANK YOU for providing us with the space where we meet and hold our monthly meetings at no cost. I must not fail to recognize our National Committee members from the East Coast who left their busy schedule to come and be with us tonight. I say thank you for gracing our event.

Finally, to my husband, Mr. Matthew Ogomegbunam Bosah, Ifeadigo 1 of Ogbunike, I throw my sincere gratitude for all your support.
