Good morning my fellow nairalander
Pardon my grammatical errors.
I was the last person to close from work yesterday. The gatekeeper was feeling well,so he asked me to help him lock. Then, it started raining few minutes later. I was thinking what I am going to eat at home,no food. I only have gas. I was really more depressed when I thought about the provision stores in my area that I am owning. I am now hiding from them. But it is almost impossible. I own up to three provisions in my area. One almost disgrace me on Monday. I am owning
1. 300
2. 560
3. 1,810 this one was the one that almost disgrace me
4. 750 naira
So,while these thoughts were in my mind. I said in my mind. Since i don't have food to eat even when I get home,let me take some toiletries like soaps and tissues home. They were in different classes. I started to take them but as I continue to gather them . My conscience was speaking against me. I felt empty. I remembered a promised I made to myself after I lost my parents years ago. I told myself I will never steal. I told myself that I would rather borrow than Steal. I went back to those classrooms and returned all I took. I decided to beg one of my choir member to borrow me two thousand naira. Even though I knew, I have been like a beggar in the choir because of hunger and transportation fare. I called her via a
neighbor's phone and she agreed to lend me 2k. Though I feel like beggar and depressed because of this but I am happy that my conscience is clean since I refused to steal those things.
The truth is, suffering and lack can tempt to do the wrong thing as a Christian but we must hold our ground. Don't give up because you don't have. Believe in a better tomorrow. I know it is not easy atimes like the way things are right now but God will soon reward your about. Galatians 6:9 says, do not be weary in well doing,for you will reap if you faint not. Your days of joy are coming. Keep hoping, keep believing and keep praying. Never forget,the road is never easy but God won't forget your labour of love.

Career / Re: Academic Advice; as an HND graduate what next? PGD or BSC by fidorocks(m): 12:58pm On May 30, 2022
Can you call me for proper guidance. What I would advise you to do is to take courses in data analysis and other IT related courses. I know people with HND in statistics or mathematics or even college of education graduates who studied mathematics earning as much as N1.5M monthly in tech companies. You are sitting on a gold mine and funny thing you are just 23. You have 7 more years to 30. You can become a developer too. You don't need BSC or Master's. Go for quality trainings and you are good to go

darkgoddes:
I just want to pour out my heart.

I'm in seriously emotional pain. I lost my sweet mother. The cold hands of death snatched her away from me. This pain is so raw and wont go away. I'm so devastated. I need someone to tell me, how do I cope? I feel so alone. I feel so naked without my mother. cry Does it mean I wont ever see my mother again? I keep wondering if she wont be feeling so cold in the morgue right now? Oh God! Why

I am her only daughter and the bond was so strong. She taught and showed me unconditional love. She always say her children were her greatest achievement. Mummy why didnt you wait for me to do all those things I promised you I will do for you? Why is death so cruel? I'm so shattered right now. I will so miss her dearly. Cant just stop shedding tears cry cry cry. I'm so sad and broken.

How can I cope? Someone please tell me. I cant stop looking at her photos on my phone. I cant stop playing the several short videos I made of her when she was alive. It feels so surreal to accept that my mum is gone! No one can ever ever take her place in my heart.

Continue to rest in peace mum.


Also lost my mum on the last day of February this year and she was buried on June 12.

It seems like a nightmare. I went from having insomnia to near depression, to alcohol abuse.

It's very difficult to deal with. It's not something you wish your worst enemy.

But my dear you have to be strong. I think that is what your mum will love.

I will send you a DM. I can call you and console you if you don't mind. Please take heart.

Family / Re: Dairy of a book nerd by fidorocks(m): 1:34pm On Mar 03, 2019
If you can drop your number or email, I can advise you. Most of the people here advising you are telling you rubbish. Whatever happened between your parents happened between them. Your mother is blackmailing you emotionally to keep you away from your father. That's wrong. That she took care of you is not a big deal. It's her responsibility. That's not the reason to keep your away from your father as a child and also keep you away from him using blackmail now you are an adult because of her bitterness.

Meanwhile you have never heard your own father's side of the story. You only relied on your mums account of what transpired between them.

Better go and look for your father and your real family and other siblings. Don't allow your mum suck you into her bitterness which from her account has kept her down and she never remarried or made peace with your father.

Look at where your mother's bitterness has brought her and ask yourself if you want to live such lonely and unhappy life.

Guy should get his lady elsewhere. I wonder what lesson I would learn from a lawyer who doesn't know both male and female judges are Lords. I am certain the Judge didn't take it from him.

Well female judges are addressed as "My Lady". It smacks off sexism to still address females as my Lords. A woman should not be considered not good enough as a woman to be a judge or lawyer until a fiction of being male is created.

This is 2017 and not 15th Century. Women are becoming presidents and addressed as "Her Excellency", so why not judges being addressed as "My Lady"

How can this be remedied?

The young of every profession is the future of that profession and no profession can survive by devouring or not nurturing its young. The major changes in all areas of life are technologically driven and youth propelled. So, the legal profession must not only nurture its young but should be open to the innovations young lawyers are bringing into the profession.

Legal practice is still very conservative and esoteric for the 21st century. The traditional areas of practice are shrinking daily. I think we should be allowed to find new fishing ponds or create new ones. We can also expand the shrinking ponds through ICT (information and communications technology)-driven marketing. We can also use ICT to properly manage service delivery in the profession thereby reducing cost and increasing profit. Everything boils down to the seniors allowing change and giving younger lawyers a chance. We are the ICT generation and we can do a lot if given the chance.

Also, the NBA should do more to protect junior lawyers from abuse and exploitation.

What was your most embarrassing day in court?

I once appeared before Justice S. O. Nwaka of the Lagos State High Court early last year in a very contentious land matter and I made a mistake in addressing the Court. My lady was visibly angry and said I was rude. I was leading some juniors in the case that day and I was so ashamed and so apologised profusely to the court.

However, the defence counsel who was an over 60 years’ old lawyer told my Lady that I had no home training. I felt very hurt by that statement, but I apologised to the court again and informed my Lady that the defence counsel had no right to cast aspersion on my family background and demanded he retracted his statement and apologise to me.

Justice Nwaka made a truce by asking the older lawyer to apologise and withdraw his statement which he did and proceedings continued.

You run a blog. What is it about?

I run www.legalfido.com, a career development blog for lawyers and law students. It enjoys readership from lawyers all over the world, although a majority of my readers are from English speaking African countries. It is a platform for young lawyers all over the world to learn and share ideas on recent professional trends and developments. I am also set to start a business blog where I shall blog on entrepreneurship and legal tools for starting, managing and running a business.

Which is more lucrative, law blogging or law practice?

Blogging for me is about passion and not about the money. Yeah, blogging is very lucrative and an untapped goldmine. However, my blog is barely two years old and so I have not started raking in a lot of money but I make enough to sustain my blog and myself.

You recently opened your chambers, what have been your challenges?

The most difficult challenge for most lawyers starting up their chambers is lack of capital. Accessing credit for start-ups in Nigeria is very difficult but then it’s worse for lawyers. It is very disheartening that lawyers are not included in most state and Federal Government’s Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) start-ups or intervention fund programmes.

Many lawyers on their admission to the Bar go into private practice and most of them establish their chambers after about five years of pupillage. They employ legal and non-legal staff as well as pay taxes. So, I wonder why the government excludes lawyers from SME funding. Banks should also provide credit facilities suited for law firm start-ups with flexible repayment plans. The NBA too should partner the government and financial institutions to correct this anomaly.

You’re single. Would you marry a lawyer?

I am single but my marital status will be altered in a very short time. My woman is not a lawyer. Her discipline is in the natural sciences and for me it strikes a good balance. Though it is impossible to marry or date a lawyer without becoming a lawyer, so my woman is a lawyer in her own right.

Maduka Augustine Onwukeme was called to the Bar in November 2012. A blogger, he has just founded ELIX LP, a firm of legal practitioners based in Lagos. He shares the story of his legal journey with ROBERT EGBE


WHY did you choose law? Are there other lawyers in your family?

I’m the only lawyer in my family and I think law chose me. I wanted to be a writer but then everyone, my dad, my teachers and friends told me I would make a good lawyer. I had this knack for justice, fairness and activism as a child and a teenager. I was also a budding writer and took great interest in politics. So, I was convinced that I could be a lawyer and still be a writer. So, I took the plunge and, boy, it’s been so good. But writing is and still remains my first love, love of my life.

Your first solo court appearance, what was that like?

It was the day I appeared before the Hon. Justice Oluwayemi of the High Court of Lagos State. It was a divorce proceeding and I fidgeted all through. In fact, I recall not addressing the court properly and being corrected sternly by my Lady.

The first case you won or lost, how did that feel?

The first case I lost was a matter I had prepared the final address barely one year after my call to the bar. A senior had conducted the trial and we had argued with all authorities that the claimant had failed to prove negligence and so was not entitled to claim damages. The judge did not agree with us and ruled that our client’s action was unfair. She then held them liable on the grounds of unfair conduct and not even negligence which was the claim of the claimants. It was very disappointing for me because I put in my all in preparing the final written address. Our defence was also superb and my seniors had done a great job at the trial of the case, so we expected to win. However, an appeal was lodged against the judgment and I believe the Court of Appeal will reverse the judgment.

My first victory came in a case in which I was part of the team that successfully defended a claim for title to over 72 hectares of land around Lekki in the High Court of Lagos State. The case was quite challenging as there were numerous case files bursting to the seams with documents. The trial was also challenging as it took nearly a year to conclude. My senior colleague at Chief Rotimi Williams’ Chambers who is also my mentor, Mr. Olagbade Benson, led the defence team and he really brought out the lion in us all. I’m glad it paid off in the end as we won. The case remains very memorable because I was having severe emotional issues and was surviving on anti-depressants then, but Mr. Benson still believed in me and encouraged me not to quit the team.

Young lawyers often complain of poor treatment from their principals, what was your experience?

Well, I started practice in Chief Rotimi Williams’ Chambers which was a very big law firm and so the welfare and work conditions for lawyers was even a standard for other law firms to emulate. Before then, I interned in firms even as a student and I was lucky to meet good and selfless principals as well as colleagues who I am forever indebted to for their contributions to my career.

However, I know a lot of junior lawyers have had and are still having a raw deal in the hands of their principals.

Travel / Imo Air, The Ghost Of Virgin Nigeria & Other Matters By Maduka Onwukeme by fidorocks(m): 3:12pm On Jan 31, 2017
In July 2005, the maiden flight of Virgin Nigeria was launched with fanfare. Virgin Nigeria was the brainchild of a partnership between the Obasanjo administration and the Virgin Group which owned and operated Virgin Atlantic Airline.

It became the official national carrier which would replace the dead Nigerian Airways. Nigeria owned 51% of the equity while the Virgin Group owned 49%, however the Virgin Group was given the all powers of planning, setting up and management of the enterprise with no Nigerian input as well as all the rights accruing to national carrier.

The government shunned all protests against the deal which was clearly against the interest of Nigeria. An aviation activist Capt. Jerry Agbeyegbe had gone to court to stop the deal but was assassinated before the case was heard. The case was swept under the carpet as one of the unresolved assassinations under the Obasanjo administration.

By July 2009, the party had crashed, as the Virgin Group pulled out of the deal and of course left with an estimated US$35 Million to cover for its equity contribution and brand royalty fee for Virgin Nigeria’s use of its brand. This was coming barely one year after the CEO of Virgin Nigeria, Conrad Clifford had told the National Assembly that the airline would acquire 40 aircraft and employ over 6,000 Nigerians by 2010 (wishful thinking).

Virgin Nigeria left a legacy of an operational debt estimated at about N35.5 Billion in just 3 years of operation which surprisingly was in excess of the estimated operational debt profile of Nigeria Airways in the 10 years leading to its liquidation. Worse still, Virgin Nigeria added no value to the aviation industry in the form of training or assets of any kind.

The Virgin Group recovered more than its investment but left a huge unsecured debt burden for the airline’s bankers, the United Bank of Africa (UBA).




An Aviation Consultant, Chris Azu Aligbe described the lesson learnt as follows;

“In all, it is a classic lesson of how not to hand over our patrimony, without a national oversight, to a foreign investor whose ulterior interest is not known.”

On 24th January, 2017, the Nigerian media space was agog with the news of the launch of Imo Air by the Okorocha administration and photographs of a plane branded Imo Air and Dana Air which Okorocha claimed was one out of five acquired by the State Government to provide airline services to indigenes of the state.

Okorocha admitted that the Imo Air was yet to get an operational licence hence the partnership with Dana Air which would last for 10 years for the management of the airline and boasted that Imo Air would become a full blown airline by 2018.

The launch of Imo Air has been dismissed by many as a publicity stunt and the Okorocha administration has not made available any other information beyond the governor’s speech at the launch.

Imo State like other states has been severely hit by the recession despite denials by Okorocha to the contrary and therefore all avenues to raise revenue is being explored, but like they say in Nigerian parlance, setting up and running an airline business is no beans.

What is the state’s equity contribution in the deal and can the Imo public be availed a copy of the agreements signed with Dana Air? Dana Air operates an airline which will fly the same route as Imo Air, so what then is the role of Dana Air in the whole arrangement? Are they just technical partners or managers of an airline which would be in competition with them?

The Virgin Group, while operating Virgin Nigeria dominated the local and West African routes, but was reluctant to fly international routes as demanded by the government. The reason was clear, Virgin Atlantic, its parent airline dominated those routes and even when they bowed to government pressure, Virgin Nigeria’s international flight was deliberately poorly operated.

Why even the choice of Dana Air? Nigeria has made 10 attempts to float its national carrier without success due to low capitalization and lack of required expertise for an airline launch. The airports are littered with relics of dead airlines so what is Dana Air’s operational profile in the industry to be trusted with such a huge financial venture?

Who are the members of the board of Imo Air and how much control does the state exercise over the board?

The Imo State government should come clean on these questions as Imo people deserve to know how their collective patrimony is being utilized as they will bear the consequence of a bad investment. Except the launch of Imo Air is the mere wishful thinking and publicity stunt of the Okorocha’s regime, the Imo public deserves to know.

Politics / Re: Suleman & Fayose V. DSS; The Limits Of Rascality by fidorocks(m): 7:13pm On Jan 30, 2017
This discourse will not dwell on the foolishness or boldness (as many of their supporters have termed it) of governors using the privilege of immunity to physically prevent armed security agents from carrying out their lawful duties but the implications of Wike and Fayose’s acts of rabid rascality on national security.

A situation where state governors constitute themselves into courts of law to determine whether the exercise of state authority is lawful or not and then proceeding to stop the exercise of such authority is an invitation to anarchy and chaos.

I agree that the security agents in Nigeria are in the habit of abusing the rights of citizens, but then the courts are there to enforce constitutional safeguards. Suleman is not above the law and if he is if the opinion that there has been a breach of his rights, he should go to court and not invite a governor to stop security agents from carrying out their duties.

The implications of his actions is as irresponsible as the comments credited to Suleman after his bungled arrest that if the DSS had arrested him, it would set the country on fire. We can bear the rascality of Fayose on the basis of the immunity (which won’t last forever) he mistakes for the lordship of a fiefdom, but not Suleman’s irresponsible comments aimed at pushing Nigeria into a sectarian war.

Scholars agree that when a state’s capacity to exercise authority is considerable weakened, that gives room for violent exertion of sectarian tensions and animosities. With sectarianism and ethnic violence added to the mix, there is no escaping state failure. Afghanistan, Iraq, the Central Africa Republic, Somalia etc. are good examples.

If care is not taken, Nigeria may be on that list all thanks to the dangerous combination of governors who leave the business of governing their states to undermine national security and religious leaders posturing for war through their rhetoric.

The carnage in Southern Kaduna and the government’s lackadaisical approach to the crisis is most disturbing and highly condemnable. All legal means should be employed including inviting the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the UN to investigate the crisis and bring the perpetrators to book. Irrespective of our anger, we should not allow the crisis snowball into a full blown sectarian war across the nation.

The US president has just signed an executive order barring immigrants and refugees from 7 nations who are the top occupiers of the global state failure index, seething with near nonexistent national security and sectarian violence. To the supporters and cheerleaders of Fayose, Wike and Suleman, all I can say is that when these men set the country on fire, we all shall embark on the tortuous trek as refugees for a safe sanctuary. It is never an easy road; you can ask the Syrians, Iraqis and the Somalians etc.

Politics / Suleman & Fayose V. DSS; The Limits Of Rascality by fidorocks(m): 7:12pm On Jan 30, 2017
In 2015, Nigeria danced from the precipice of the United State’s predicted disintegration and shocked the whole world by conducting a democratic transition of power. Nigeria managed to pull back from imminent state failure, owing to the loss of territory near the size of Belgium to vicious Boko Haram terrorists, to a peaceful transfer of power from an incumbent president to the opposition.

Most scholars agree that one of the yardsticks for measuring state failure is the ability of states to exercise powers of coercion over citizens in its territory. Authority has been defined as the “state’s capacity to exercise coercive force over its national territory”.

The moment a state is unable to legitimately exercise coercive force, state failure is imminent. So we might have escaped America’s doomsday predictions but then, it is not yet uhuru!

Last week Wednesday, the attempts by the Directorate of Security Service (DSS) to arrest Apostle Johnson Suleman in Ekiti was thwarted by the Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose. Suleman had drawn the ire of the DSS by allegedly asking members of his congregation to kill any Fulani herdsmen that come around his church premises.

Fayose who is the fiercest critic of the current administration had followed the earlier lead of Nyesom Wike who had stopped the DSS from a planned raid on the residence of Justice Liman for alleged corruption last year. The immunity both men enjoyed saved them from arrests for obstruction of justice and we can also say luck saved them from possible death for physically challenging and preventing armed security agents from carrying out their lawful duties. Only a mad man will argue with someone armed with a gun (apologies to Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe).

Politics / Suleman & Fayose V. DSS; The Limits Of Rascality by fidorocks(m): 7:01pm On Jan 30, 2017
In 2015, Nigeria danced from the precipice of the United State’s predicted disintegration and shocked the whole world by conducting a democratic transition of power. Nigeria managed to pull back from imminent state failure, owing to the loss of territory near the size of Belgium to vicious Boko Haram terrorists, to a peaceful transfer of power from an incumbent president to the opposition.

Most scholars agree that one of the yardsticks for measuring state failure is the ability of states to exercise powers of coercion over citizens in its territory. Authority has been defined as the “state’s capacity to exercise coercive force over its national territory”.

The moment a state is unable to legitimately exercise coercive force, state failure is imminent. So we might have escaped America’s doomsday predictions but then, it is not yet uhuru!

Last week Wednesday, the attempts by the Directorate of Security Service (DSS) to arrest Apostle Johnson Suleman in Ekiti was thwarted by the Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose. Suleman had drawn the ire of the DSS by allegedly asking members of his congregation to kill any Fulani herdsmen that come around his church premises.

Fayose who is the fiercest critic of the current administration had followed the earlier lead of Nyesom Wike who had stopped the DSS from a planned raid on the residence of Justice Liman for alleged corruption last year.
