RIP.
I recall he led Nigeria to the ICJ over the Bakassi Peninsula issue with Cameroon without taking into cognisance that the court was rigged like INEC by having a French judge sit on a matter that France is an interested party on the side of Cameroon and Nigeria lost, but Senator David Mark who is a retired General who defended Bakassi from encroachment as a soldier refused to ratify the judgment on the floor of the Senate putting the implementation of the judgment in limbo

No, he didn't lead Nigeria. He was a judge at the court.

I'm not a fan of Charles Oputa. Infact I hate so many things about him.
But he is a success in his own right.
Like Ojukwu, he stubbornly stepped out of his father's shadow unlike this Ajibola SAN you're talking about.

Is this what you call success?

You want your sons to succeed like Ajibola, and may God guide them away from public nuisance like this confused being called areafada Say Amen!

Lanre4uonly:
This is a great loss to Ogun State and Nigeria in general.
May Allah be pleased with his return and comfort the bereaved family.

It can never be a great loss. He had had his turn. He's no more relevant at that age. He died at a very ripe age and left great fruits behind, those who are doing well in their various endeavours. His death would have been a great loss, had he died while he was still very active. He had lived his life and imparted lots of morals to those he left behind.

Now, it remains him and his maker alone for reckoning.

Rip baba lawyer, as fondly called. Those still living and intimidating people cos of positions and power should learn a lesson from death. Gbenga Adeboye (also late) would say...ę maa gba lęsini lodo iku

May Allah forgive him, accept his returns and grant him Al-Janah Firdawous. Give everyone of us the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss of a great man.

Accept my condolences.

May his soul rest in perfect peace

RIP to him

All these will not matter a thousand years to come...

Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. 10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? 11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.

ntyce:


No, he didn't lead Nigeria. He was a judge at the court.

Try to read and COMPREHEND,he led Nigeria judges to the international court of justice.

MissOpe:


All these will not matter a thousand years to come...

So?

May Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant him paradise on the day of accountability. RIP Sir.

RIP

He was my father's classmate at Baptist Boys High School, Abeokuta

My father died 33years ago.

When the classmates came and asked what we wanted. We told him that my brother that studied Geology has no job after graduation years ago.

He gave him a note to People's bank then (1989)

That's how my brother became a banker moving from one bank to the other.

Sir, tell my father we miss u all.

A truly successful man indeed, according to the world's standard. But if found without Christ before departing the earth most definitely can't arrive in heaven. Shying from the truth can't change the truth. A good man of substance and philanthropic deeds in his home country can't be allowed access on the basis of such attributes into another country; he must obtain all documents required to do so.
There is only one heaven created by God who confirmed Jesus as his only begotten son, other than this no other al-janna exist.

Matthew 17:5 (KJV) While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

1 Timothy 2:5 (KJV) For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Acts 4:12 (KJV) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Revelation 22:3 (KJV) And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

John 3:18 (KJV) He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.


We human hate the truth so much, but when we die and realize we are in the wrong, we engage in our routine job of begging God for the mercy that can hardly be obtained or granted.
So expecting to get to heaven whoever you're, without surrendering ones heart to Jesus as Lord and saviour while on earth, is a mirage and mere wishful thinking; no matter one's religion and level of devotion to it.

I recall he led Nigeria to the ICJ where he was a judge at a point over the Bakassi Peninsula issue with Cameroon without taking into cognisance that the court was rigged like INEC by having a French judge sit on a matter that France is an interested party on the side of Cameroon and Nigeria lost, but Senator David Mark who is a retired General who defended Bakassi from encroachment as a soldier refused to ratify the judgment on the floor of the Senate putting the implementation of the judgment in limbo

the judgement was not rigged please, let's stop believing "feel good" lies our political leaders sell to us, same as recent INEC election dome people are saying is rigged when they know in their heart of hearts.. That's not true.

Bakassi in Cross river state, is just like Badagry in Lagos state,the indigenous people of Badagry are Eguns, with most of their ethnic tribes in Benin Republic, but at the time the Europeans came, the local ruler signed treaty with the British not the French, just same with Bakassi where they were colonized by the Germans not the British, France only took over German Cameroon which Bakassi was under , after the world war.
Not only that.. Nigeria is a signatory to to OAU charter that states that member states will not contest the Colonial masters boundaries, if they do... There would be unending wars in Africa by now.
In summary the ICJ was very correct with its judgment or there will be an unprecedented litigation at the Hague by now... No sentiments.

Jostoman:
that is the big question for our politician.

I love Nigerian politicians ... Na them fit Nigerian masses

Another illustrious Yoruba son has joined our ancestors.

Justice Bola Ajibola's son is a SAN, Justice Oputa's son is a street boy at about 70 years. Train your children well.

*WHO IS JUDGE BOLA AJIBOLA*?
*A BRIEF PROFILE*

His Excellency Judge Bola Abdul Jabbar Ajibola,
(SAN, KBE, D.Sc,D.Litt,FNIALS,FCIArb,CFR)

Born on 22nd March, 1934 to the Owu Royal Family, His Excellency Judge Bola Abdul Jabbar Ajibola attended Owu Baptist Day School, Ago Owu and Baptist Boys High School, Abeokuta, Ogun State for his primary and secondary school education between 1942 and 1955. In 1958, he was enrolled at Holborn College of Law, University of London from where he graduated in 1962 with a degree in law before he was called to the Bar at Lincoln's Inn on 27 November 1962.

He was President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), 1984-1985 and Attorney-General/Minister of Justice (1985-1991). From there, he moved to the International Court of Justice, Den Hague, Netherlands. After a three-year stint at the World Court in 1994, he further served as Judge Ad Hoc of the World Court from 1994 to 2002. He was appointed Judge of the Constitutional Court of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. He also served as the Nigeria High Commissioner to the United Kingdom between 1999 and 2002.

He was Chairman of Nigerian delegation to the Nigerian-Cameroon Mixed Commission on the Bakassi Peninsula. Prince Ajibola served as Vice President and later President of the World Bank Administrative Tribunal from 1994 to 2005; President, World Association of the World Jurists and Arbitrator, Ethiopia-Eritrea Boundary Dispute Commission.

A voracious reader, prolific writer, renowned administrator, jurist and arbitrator of global acclaim, Prince Ajibola has attended numerous international conferences and has held international positions and arbitration assignments too numerous to mention here. In his professional career, he has provided outstanding legal consultancy services to several companies including Avon Cosmetics Limited; Masms Solicitors and Co. of London; Exxon, Houston, Texas, USA and Arthur Anderson and Co., London and Lagos.

In recognition of his outstanding imprints on the sands of time, Usmanu Dan Fodiyo University, Sokoto, awarded him Doctor of Literature (D. Litt) in 2003 while the Federal University of Agriculture conferred on him an Honorary Doctor of Agriculture (D. Agric) in 2004. As the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice between 1985 and 1991, he never took home a salary, asking that same should be distributed to the coffers of Federal Government (35%), Nigerian Bar Association (25%) and Charitable/humanitarian organisations (40%). The first Nigerian to be so selfless.

He also founded African Concern, a non-governmental organisation in Lusaka, Zambia in May, 1995 to promote peace, justice and harmony among peoples of Africa in order to eradicate the problems of refugees arising from political conflicts and natural disasters. This, he accomplished in association with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to give succour to refugees in Nigeria, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Rwanda.

Prince Ajibola, an altruist, founded Islamic Mission for Africa in 1996, which gave birth to Crescent University, Abeokuta, a visionary initiative capable of building a new generation of graduates imbued with industry, moral uprightness and diligence as well as the inculcation of spiritual redevelopment in young men and women.

Furthermore, the reputed legal icon and Islam's ambassador has to his credit other awards and honours among which are: Knight of the Order of British Empire (KBE), 1989; Fellow, Chartered Institute of Arbitration (FCIArb); World Jurist Award 1987; Senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), 1986; Fellow, Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies and Commander of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (CFR) among others.

Judge Bola Ajibola is the Founder/Proprietor, Crescent University, Abeokuta. Built on the pedestal of knowledge and faith, the university was established as a private academic institution under the banner of Islamic Mission for Africa(IMA).

It was established in consonance with her doctrine and vision: learning and character. The operating licence from the Federal Government of Nigeria was obtained from National Universities Commission(NUC) on June 9, 2005 by the then Minister of Education, Mrs Chinwe Nora Obaji.

Judge Bola Ajibola founded the university after selling his assets both in Nigeria and abroad to achieve the noble cause of assisting the Nigerian populace in closing the widening gap between attainable potential students' population and limited space in public universities.Of his vision,accomplishment of Crescent University is the ultimate.

The university which prides itself as Citadel of Academic and Moral Excellence has graduated 12 sets at undergraduate level and 5 sets at Master's level.Today,many of these products are performing excellently well both in further studies and employment.Some of them who made First Class in their first degree have also clinched Distinction/PhD grades in their MSc programmes abroad and government-owned universities in Nigeria.Only recently,Adedeji Ajayi,who bagged his BSc and MSc degrees from Crescent University got a keenly contested appointment as a senior journalist (Planning) with the British Broadcasting Corporation(BBC) while employers of labour have consistently lauded Crescent University products for good conduct.

This is, in fact, in concord with Judge Ajibola's mission that "we are not out to produce brilliant beasts but global citizens" who will bring about peaceful coexistence among nations of the world.
