In October 2001 the Attorney Gen of Pakistan received a call from the country's Secretary of Law asking about a certain body called ICSID & how it was possible for Pakistan to have been dragged before the body by a Swiss company by the name Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS).

Gov @jidesanwoolu is being clever by half. Granted, the Military is beyond his control. But some1 declared a 24 hour curfew with less than 4-hour notice & provided the cover for the Military to invade. Some1 cut off the power around Lekki Tollgate & removed CCTV. That is on him.

I am just reading that Yusuf Magaji Bichi who has just been appointed as the new DG of the SSS by President Buhari actually retired from service last year after 35 years of service. The President is heartless. He is tone deaf. Continue to support him it's your right. I am out.

A Presidential aspirant addressing the different issues besetting our country. Eloquent. Versatile. Resourceful. No "Za Gaumen". No written notes. Even if his views differed from mine (they don't) I would have been happy still. I challenge your aspirant/candidate to do the same.

This is going to be a REALLY LONG thread. I may lose friends for this, but this is no longer the time for mincing or sugar coating words. The gloves are off. You are either in favour of Nigeria’s progress or against. And for the cowardly fencists, the Lord will soon spew you out.

MUCH ADO ABOUT OBINGWA LGA As a card-carrying member of the PDP, but someone who is invested in the progress of my long suffering State, Abia I have to officially place on record my utter disappointment with the leadership of the party in Abia State regarding the 2023

It is a year to the day since I left the shores of Nigeria to pursue an LLM in International Bus Law at King's College London. With only £500 on me when I left my house & so much uncertainty surrounding the funding of my studies, it is nothing short of a miracle that I finished.

Sometime in June 2001 I travelled to Lagos to stay with my Uncle. There I heard almost all Ohafia adages I know today. I felt bad that I didn't know enough. Now I look back with pride. In his memory I will share some + the somewhat ones. What is an Ohafia adage without vulgarity?

The time is 14:50 hours and the right time to bring you the stat of the day in the ongoing #NBADecides . The gap between Olumide Akpata (8249) and his nearest challenger for now, Dr Babatunde Ajibade (3685) is 4564. The total number of votes polled by Paul Usoro in 2018 was 4509.

In the end I agree that the actions of the Buhari administration in attacking the CJN less than two months to the pivotal general elections can compared to the actions of someone whom the gods have allowed to go mad in order to kill him.

As we applaud the American criminal justice system over the conviction of Derek Chauvin, let us spare a thought for citizen Nicholas Makolomi. I understand that he is the #Ughelli videographer whose viral video resulted in the #EndSARS movement. He doesn't belong behind bars.

There is no skill I have not used to avoid handshakes in Ohafia, and failed. "My hands are dirty" "I don't mind, I will wash my hands later." On one occasion, I even pretended to be sleeping whilst sat outside, yet someone still lifted my hands and shook it by himself.

Imbecilic Nigerian President throws country into constitutional crisis by purporting to suspend the CHIEF JUSTICE OF NIGERIA and swear in his kinsman as Ag CJN on the basis of a non-existent order of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, less than a month to the general elections.

In August 2018, he even went a notch higher by informing the same gathering that national security trumps the rule of law. This is someone surrounded by SANS (including the highly cerebral ones, the now senile one, and the one who may not even be deserving of the rank).

From a sporting point of view this generation is fortunate. We saw Micheals Jordan, Phelps & Schumacher; and we are seeing Tiger Woods, Roger Federer, Serena Williams, Usian Bolt as well as Leo Messi & C Ronaldo [play at the same time]. I can't imagine a luckier generation.

@FlyNimaBoy Calm down sir. Don't miss the general point. No one is laughing at another person. But if you are okay with being charged N90k to prove that you can read & right in English despite having a first degree taught in English Lang then it's okay.

This is the same CCT and under the same Chairman that set Senator Bola Tinubu free on grounds that he was not confronted with the allegation before it was filed, one must then ask whether the CJN was confronted with the petition to respond before they rushed to file.

My only problem is that Nigerian Bar Association is speaking up now because CJN & to some extent the NBA President are now the victims. I am having none of it. I still believe the NBA leadership between 2015-2018 should burry their heads in shame. That's a story for another day.

EFCC Chair denied knowledge of the raid. The AGF whose office was mentioned denied; now the IGP has denied, ordered investigations & asked the residence of Odili JSC to be fortified. Yet someone is blaming the NBA President for being ineffective. Maybe he should hav carried guns.

For those suggesting the NJC is not the appropriate body to investigate since it is headed by the CJN. This is intellectual laziness or dishonesty, or both. Nothing stops the CJN from recusing himself & allowing the NJC investigate the allegation. This is how a democracy works.

The RPC prohibits advertising but it doesn't preclude free legal advice. If you are one of those whose accounts were frozen by the FHC Abuja for 90 days on the application of Mr. Aodoakaa and the case was adjourned to 4 February 2020, and you dont know what to do, read this.

In August 2015, PMB while addressing lawyers at the annual NBA Conf directed lawyers not to represent those charged with looting the treasury. For inexplicable reasons, no one called him out, or schooled him that Rule No 1 for lawyers is that we do not generally reject briefs.
