Celebrating a True Philanthropic Son of the Soil

Yola, Adamawa State- May 26, 2025

How proud will a people be, when they have such a Son as Chief (Dr.) Maurice Vunobolki. It is this sense of pride, that the Bwatiye Community world over, roll out the drums to  celebrate and honour a rare species kind of man, who against all odds have set out his life to serve humanity.

This honour is not just for the son you are: but the personality you have become. A man, whose courage inspires, whose integrity uplifts, and whose unwavering sense of honour commands deep respect world over. You are a beacon of strength to the vulnerable, noble in every deed, and a leader forged in character.

This is the crux, as His Royal Majesty Hama Bata  Alhamdu Gladstone Teneke (Diyo Shifoto Kpwa-ngashe Tikulo Bata), and the entire Bwatiye Chiefdom bestored the traditional title of Dyapa Bwatiye on Chief Maurice Vunobolki, for his love to his people and his philanthropic achievements; a feat of selflessness,  dedication and commitment to humanity. 

The title "Dyapa Bwatiye", reflects deep respect from the people, recognizing unwavering commitment to community upliftment, compassion, and lasting impact of a man who brings home every benefit  that belongs to the Bwatiye people, no matter where it domiciles around the world.

May this honor inspire continued excellence in humanitarian service, especially for the welfare of the vulnerable in society, the general good of the Bwatiye people and Adamawa State at large.

Today, we celebrate a Man of great and many paths, as he is honoured. Congratulations Chief (Dr.) Maurice Vunobolki, FCA. Dyapa Bwatiye.
