6 Things About James Ocholi You Probably Did Not Know by ijaw1stson: 9:19pm On Mar 06, 2016 |
Ocholi, who is also a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), a rank only attained by outstanding legal luminaries, is from Igala in Kogi state, where late Aubu Abubakar, the 2015 governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state also hails from. Naij.com has compiled six facts about the late minister which Nigerians probably did not know before his demise: 1. Ocholi is a born stammerer. 2. The late minister of state died barely eight months before his 56th birthday, as he was born on November 26, 1960 to the family of James Momoh Odoh at Idah. 3. Ocholi lost his father at the age of 18 and became the family’s breadwinner at a very young age. He had to fend for his siblings afterwards. 4. Teenage Ocholi would not have become a lawyer but for the scholarship he was able to secure from the then Benue state government. He graduated as a lawyer from the University of Jos in 1985, finished from the Nigerian Law School in 1986, and was called to Bar the same year. 5. The legal practitioner was a devout Christian having given his life to Jesus Christ in 1974 while in class two of Ochaja Secondary School. At an evening school meeting at the school assembly hall, a Christian staff nurse from a neighboring town reportedly came around to speak to the students and he was said to have made the move to become a Christian. 6. He did not get the SAN rank until a second attempt. Reports say in 2006, Ocholi applied for the conferment of the rank but did not succeed and he applied again the next year. As fate would have it, he was conferred with the rank on December 12, 2007 as he stood among distinguished legal luminaries in the hallowed chambers of the Supreme Court of Nigeria to receive the honour. source:https://www.naij.com/754580-grass-grace-check-6-things-probably-not-know-late-ocholi.html |

Modsenemy:What's this? So everybody you have had business with helped you? It says so much about you, your mindset about life and most importantly, your integrity. You come across as nothing but an opportunist with such a reckless statement. Show some respect for the dead. He was some people's father, uncle, cousin, friend. Just same way you have someone like him somewhere. 5 Likes |

Eyea! It's a pity! The man really had a humble beginning. Not like those that rode on looted funds like the Abachas. And he is also a Josite!!! |
