President of Auto Spare Parts and Machinery Dealers Association (ASPMDA), Lagos International Trade Fair complex, Hon. Ngozi Emechebe has advised young trade apprentice boys (Umu Boi) in the association to always learn their trade in truthfulness and fear of God for a successful future in life.
Speaking in his special remarks at the July First Monday Worship/Prayer Session, a traditional policy of the association at the main gate today, he picked the apprentice section of ASPMDA as his area of interest in this month of July 2026, and advised them to always abide by truth from the beginning of their learning process so that they cannot deviate from it while serving their masters and during the period they will manage their own businesses.
He said “Learn by the truth, deliver your service to your master in truth and abide by it so that you will succeed when you become a master.
“In whatever you, don’t forget that you are the true future of ASPMDA. The future of ASPMDA are in your hands and that’s why we are training you in the fear of God and truth.
“Children don’t steal from your masters. Even when someone come to you to discuss how to steal from your master, don’t follow them, rather summon the courage to tell you are not interested. Besides, tell your master. He will love you the most and always stand by you during your training period and he will have the good mindset to settle you very well. He will not only settle you well, he will pray and bless your business. This is the best you can get if you keep clear from stealing, cultism and pilfering while on training here in ASPMDA.
“Umu Boi; let me tell you the truth. When you steal, you are shortchanging your good destiny with evil which will manifest when you are set free and you will not like it.
“I don’t know what your priest or pastor is telling you. But hear me as your President; When you steal from your master who brought you hear, you are cutting short your destiny. The destiny that will drive your business to greatness when you are set free. So, don’t steal so as to support your good destiny when you are free.
“As you serve your master in truth, you are growing and manuring your destiny for the future of your life and business. If you are sent to the parking store to bring some goods. Just do so as directed. Never change your mind to steal from parking store because, your destiny will suffer it when you are settled to run your own business.
“I advise you to live and learn business by the truth because you are going to be the next generation of ASPMDA leaders in a very short time.
Commenting on the upcoming elections, he called on ASPMDA members to pray for the election of leaders that will uphold good governance and deliver dividends of democracy in ASPMDA for the benefit of all in our next election.
Hon. Emechebe assured that “Our government will continue to deliver good governance in the fear of God for the goodness of all ASPMDAians.”
