I needed an apartment in Lagos. The landlords usually ask what you do for a living. I noticed that whenever I tell them I’m a lawyer, they refuse to give me the house. Happened thrice. So I went again today. But this time, I told them I’m a Solicitor.
I now have an apartment😁

I have read comments. Most of the opinions are based on the fact that since he trademarked the line 'something hooge', he has a cause of action. But this is where the law gets interesting. If truly he registered it, the registration is void. This is why. I will tell you why.

@PoojaMedia
As of today, there is no extant law on registration of service marks in Nigeria. Trademarks under Nigerian law must relate to goods, and goods alone. You can take a look at the Trademark Act and see for yourself. Sabinus does. It sell goods. He only renders services.

Something traumatizing happened to me today. Throughout today, I’ve not been able to get my mind off it. Perhaps, writing this will help me to.
I was on my way to a meeting today, somewhere in Ikeja. I stopped at Conoil around the bridge to wait for my Bolt Driver.

By all means, avoid real estate litigation. It is better avoided than resolved. Today over 7 defendants were in court. They all bought one piece of land from a ghost. This is what the Oloto family was known for. So much that the Supreme Court took judicial notice of them.

If he must sue, he must devise an ingenious way to do that. Probably in torts. But if he sues for infringement of intellectual property rights, trust me, he'll lose both suits. The law does not respect your sentiments. ✌️

@PoojaMedia
The 'something hooge' brand relates to that service which he renders. And so, it cannot be registered as a trademark. At best, it is a service mark, but unfortunately, there is no legal protection for service marks in Nigeria since the 2007 regulations under which they are...

Counsel, the court rejected your document because you did not lay proper foundation. Relax. There’s hope. Go back. Lay that foundation. Tender it again. If he objects with the usual once rejected, always rejected, just cite Diverse Assets Mgt Ltd v. Wema Bank (2023) SC. You win.

Dear Council of Legal Education, there is insecurity in Abuja. The solution is simple. Decentralize the screening process. Let everybody get screened at the NLS campus closest to them.

registered is ultra vires, for exceeding the scope of the principal Act under which it was made. Since service marks are not legally protected, at least as of now, Sabinus has no cause of action. He purported registration is invalid and therefore cannot give rise to an action.

Jesus had only 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish in his hand when he needed to feed 5000+ people. What did he do? Rather than complain, he gave thanks. You know the rest.

It used to be a practice of the Supreme Court to hesitate before overruling a precedent. Now, precedents are overruled on a weekly basis. If you don’t follow up the law reports, you’ll be left behind.

I think the person who does the very first draft of a document determines to a great extent its shape. When reviewing a draft, we often approach it with a vetting eye. If there is no error, the document is approved. At best, you just add to it.

It’s good to place guards at the gate. But who is guarding the guards? As the last in the chain of command, he went two years without detection. Within that time, FBN must have received complaints of unreversed transactions but they ignored. There were signs, but they overlooked.

If only 250 students out of 5,300 students failed Bar finals, you would say that’s a negligible number for failure. In other words, massive success. Right? Good. Now the same number had a first class. All of a sudden, it’s no more a negligible number.

The distinction between ‘litigation’ and ‘in-house’ counsel is at best artificial. I hesitate, but I will call it unfortunate because by requiring ‘litigation experience’ as a major criterion to attain certain levels, the legal profession itself encourages that distinction.

To the best of my knowledge, there is only one way Sabinus can sue Peak for the use of 'something hooge'. Trademark will fail. Copyright will fail. Passing off will fail. There is only one way. If his lawyers are smart, they should sue for what we call CHARACTER MERCHANDISING.
