‎Senior Nigerian Lawyer Stripped of SAN Title

June 23, 2017
Evelyn Okakwu


Nigeria’s Legal Practitioners Privileges Committee has stripped a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, B. I. Nwofor, of his title as senior advocate.

The decision which was taken at the Committee’s 126th general meeting held on June 22 was contained in a letter from the privileges committee signed by the Chief Registrar of the Supreme Court, Ahmed Salleh.

“The Legal Practitioner’s Privileges Committee at its 126th General Meeting held on June 22nd 2017, considered extensively the complaint filled by the court of appeal of Nigeria against B. E . I. Nwofor, Esq. A Senior Advocate of Nigeria with his response to same and all material facts and have decided that B. E. I. Nwofor Esq; a Senior Advocate of Nigeria conducted himself in a manner unbefitting of a holder of the esteemed rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria.

“By reason of the foregoing, the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria _(including all its privileges)_ has been withdrawn from B. E. I Nwofor, forthwith,” the statement said.

It was not immediately clear what the allegations were against Mr. Nwofor.

Been on Nairaland for a while now and to be honest, the hate amidst the youth here is disappointing. We are suppose to be at the helm of the affairs in this country, but we are here hating on eachother, we should be ashamed of ourselves. If we channel the strength we use in searching for names when any news on crime comes up to fighting for eachother, we would be better. This is why the old people at the helm of Nigerian politics since independence are still thriving till today because we as youths have refused to take our stand in the affairs of the country instead, we fight against eachother and the old politicians attend eachother's events. This is what they want, they want us to fight eachother and as long as we fight, they would have the tools and time to perpetrate their selfish acts and remain at the top as long as the youths are looking for the right things at the wrong places. This is not the way forward... Instead of hating online, I suggest that we use our internet presence for something positive for the youths and the future of our country... Something that will reiterate our presence in this country as a force that must be reckoned with.

TheLawTheLegal:
By Charles Ogbu.

Brethren from the North,
I bring you greetings from the Southern part of Nigeria.

On behalf of the peace-loving people of the south in general and millions of Igbo youths in particular, I start this letter by commending you for your recent open letter to the acting president, professor Yemi Osinbajo, where you called on the pastor-turned politician to organise a Referendum for the Igbos to enable them determine their future in line with international law on self determination.

By that letter, you proved to be better versed and more sophisticated in legal matters and ways of international laws with regards to the right of Indigenous People on Self Determination than the acting President who ironically is a law professor but who happen to think that quest for self determination is a crime simply because the fraudulent document known as the 1999 constitution imposed on us by military thugs did not recognise it.

Having said these, let me come to the main reason why I'm here. In your letter to the Ag. President, I noticed what I've been trying to figure out whether to classify as an innocent amnesia-induced oversight or a calculated attempt to re-write history on your part.

You cited the January 15th coup which you mischievously tagged Igbo coup and claimed was the Igbos manifesting their hatred for Nigeria. Quite frankly, when I read that part, I was left wondering whether to pause and die laughing or die crying.

You and your kind invented the word "hatred" and even went further to prove that indeed, it is not just a word. You started manifesting hatred for other Nigerians as far back as 1945 when your kind butchered hundreds of innocent southerners mostly Igbos in North central Nigerian city of Jos in an anti-Igbo pogrom, 15 years before Nigeria even got her independence from Britain.

And of course, your Vampiric spirit would later rise again in search of more Igbo blood in 1953 when your people carried out another anti-Igbo pogrom in Kano which resulted in another hundreds of Igbo lives being wasted once again. This time, all you needed to start doing what you know how best to do was a minor legislative disagreement at the Lagos parliament where your lawmakers were booed for trying to delay a motion for Nigeria's independence by claiming the North wasn't yet ready for self rule.

Isn't it a classic definition of irony that a people who started doing exceptionally well in the business of killing and maiming their fellow Nigerians as far back as 1945 when Nigeria had not even dreamt of gaining independence would now open their mouth and accuse others of manifesting "hatred for Nigeria unity"? If you ever believed in the so called Nigeria's unity, why kill and maim your fellow Nigerians for the flimsiest of excuses??

Secondly, the January 1966 coup was not an Igbo coup. It was a coup carried out by mostly junior army officers led by Major Kaduna Chukwuma Nzeogwu and it had soldiers from Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa/fulani, Tiv, Esan, Ijaw, Urhobo, Bali etc on board. Hassan Usman Katsina, an hausa/fulani, who was later made military governor of Northern region, was Nzeogwu's right hand man and a major participant all through the period of the coup. Major Adewale Ademoyega, the author of "Why We Struck" was of the same rank as Nzeogwu. He was an active participant in the coup. There were major Ifeajuna, Lt. Fola Oyewole of "The Reluctant Rebel", Lt. Tijani Katsina and Saleh Dambo who were both hausa/fulani, there was Lt. Hope Harris Egheagha among other Igbos.

And that same coup was foiled by two brave Igbo men, Aguyi Ironsi in Lagos (West) and Ojukwu in Kano (North).

Now, assuming WITHOUT CONCEDING that the January 15th coup was organized and executed by only Igbo army officers, does it not still amount to conscientious idiocy for you guys to blame the whole Igbo nation for a coup carried out by few military men from the region?? How can anyone seek to justify the savagery visited on defenceless Igbo men, women and children residing in the North in the aftermath of that coup?? Did Nzeogwu who was from Delta state consult the indigens of the state before leading that coup?

How come we don't blame Dimka's coup on his ethnic group neither do we blame IBB and Buhari's coup on the whole hausa/Fulanis?

Let me quickly remind you that in the evening of the January 15th coup, a Boeing 707 belonging to the Nigerian Airways arrived Kano with almost the whole Northern establishment back from Lagos where they had gone to attend Commonwealth Prime Ministers' conference. Ojukwu, it was, who received them at the airport and even when orders from the coup plotters were to shot all Politicians, Ojukwu gifted them with protection. I don't suppose you would like this kind of history, seeing as it seem to contradict the adulterated version you were groomed with.

In the said letter, you correctly stated that Ojukwu refused to recognize Gowon but you mischievously failed to state that Ojukwu's refusal to recognise Gowon was in protest over the refusal of the hausa/fulani military officers who killed the head of state, Aguyi Ironsi, to allow Brigadier Ogundipe to take over as the next in rank according to military tradition.

Still in that same letter, you stated that Ojukwu declared Biafra but you conveniently failed to tell the public that Ojukwu didn't just wake up in the morning, smoke his Benson cigarette and rushed to declare Biafra. He (Ojukwu) did his best to de-escalate tension and even succeeded in reaching a landmark accord with Gowon in Aburi, Ghana, which if implemented, would have put an end to the Igbo genocide going on in the North and averted the moral tragedy that was the Biafra war. But, Gowon, unilaterally chose to defy the terms of this last minute Aburi Accord, leaving the Oxford product, Ojukwu, with no choice but to pull his people out of a country that was and still is, deaf, dumb and blind to the sanctity of the lives of the same people it exists mainly to protect.

Let me quickly say this not just to you, The Arewa Youths but to all Nigerians and foreigners alike:
This current Biafra agitation IS NOT a bait for Igbo presidency, Restructuring or appointments. Any Igbo man thinking it is should simply go for a DNA test to ascertain not just his paternity but his ancestry, too.

My generation is simply sick and tired of sharing the same country with people who derive enormous pleasure from killing their fellow human beings over the flimsiest of excuses like the burning of the Koran in a far away Afghanistan, the shooting of a Palestinian boy by a murderous Israeli soldier in Gaza, the drawing of the cartoon of Prophet Muhammad in far away Denmark by a cartoonist who is neither Igbo nor Nigerian.

Igbo youths are not aggrieved with Nigeria solely because their parents were massacred in the Biafra war. We are aggrieved because almost 50 years after the war, the same people who killed our parents are still killing us even in our homes using fulani herdsmen, in our churches and cities using hausa/fulani soldiers who kill us and bath us with acid, and our places of business using almajiris who slaughter us and burn our shops with state-sponsored impunity for no just cause other than the insatiable urge to spill blood.

My fellow youths, we have lied to ourselves for far too long. How about a little honesty here? All these killings points to one thing which is that our world views are world apart. While you delight in resorting to violence as solution to almost every disagreement, we, the Igbos and indeed, all southerners have serious aversion to bloodshed. It is our belief that our God fight for us, not the other way round.

I love the concluding part of your letter where you rightly asserted that the Biafra agitation is not an issue over which a single drop of blood should be shed. We agree completely. We have all advanced beyond the primitive era of war. We are not asking for war. We are only asking for a YES or NO vote known as Referendum. Now, my dear brethren, add a little work to your faith by prevailing on your leaders who control every facet of the Nigerian govt to allow for a Plebiscite for the Igbos. After they have voted and the YES vote carries the day, you can then give Igbos living in your region whatever condition under which you want them to live if they still want to continue living in your midst.

Dishing out quit notice to Igbos residing in your region when they are yet to be officially granted their referendum and Biafra is only tantamount to putting the cart before the horse. Until the Igbos officially get their Biafra, they remain Nigerians with all the right and privileges of Nigerian citizens including the right of living and doing business anywhere in Nigeria.

Lastly, let me conclude by reminding you that even in the event of a successful referendum for Biafra, all property legally acquired by the Igbos anywhere in Nigeria remain theirs and are protected by international law. Nigerians did not loose their property in Britain when the latter granted her independence in 1960, did they?? The world has progressed considerably. I would remind you that the 'abandoned property' era is over but I'm sure you know that, don't you??

Instead of killing ourselves and creating IDPs everywhere, let us peacefully do "To Your Tent, Oh, Israel!". That way, we will still do things together but as good neighbours under a mutually agreed terms.

Love From A Biafran,

Charles Ogbu

Are you not man enough?? .
But on a more serious note, the herdsmen issue is like any other security challenges that we have in Nigeria, like armed robbery, militancy, Boko Haram, Kidnapping etc, apart from the fact the herdsmen issue has been politicized.
You can form vigilante group, call and intimate the police for protection.

lordkit400:
Former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has been lambasted on Twitter as many people castigated him for posting a photo showing him nicely dressed while ‘pretending’ to farm.The politician had allegedly wanted to use the photo to create awareness on farming and its importance but many interpreted it as another gimmick for his presidential ambition. Nigerians tackled him for wearing a white kaftan and alleged Rolex watch to the farm. They called it pretence of the highest order and another way todeceive people.


Responding to the criticism, Atiku wrote:

“I have owned this farm since the mid-80s, and it employs a few hundred people. Does that make me an unreal farmer? #smile.” then added: “Rhetoric is an important part of leadership. If you are asking about my contributions to national unity, I would rather others speak for me.”

Youngadvocate:
Vociferous popular Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu had it hot with Nigeria-born Cameroonian singer, Reprudencia Sonkey, aka Dencia, over denigrating comments on the Biafra agitation.

Dancia who according to Uche's fans seemingly lacked right thought to put on a social media, took to her Instagram page, to blast the pro-Biafra agitators in particular and the Igbo nation in general over the agitation for Biafra.

She wrote, “Igbos want to be Biafrans and have their own President, etc NW and SW Cameroon want to separate and from French Cameroon. Please who do they want permissions from? Just cut yourself off and keep pushing. You new president will do you dirty soon.”

Uche, who could not hold his cool on the rant of the kid-singer, warned her to stop interfering with anything that concerns the Igbos, saying “You talk like a clown. Who are you to advise Igbos and Biafra? The last time I checked we feed you country.

“Stop interfering with anything that concern the Igbo race. How dare you say, ‘Our new President will do us dirty?’ are you God?

“Who are you to make such statement against Igbos? Respect yourself and save your advice for your own nation they need it more. Show some respect for the Igbo race, we are not one of your bleaching creams.”

....that was how the fight began.

It was earlier reported about the horror meted out on on Fulani Herdsmen following alleged multiple attacks by Mambilla militia group in Sardauna local government areas, Taraba State...Reports had it that the Mambilla militia attack was an alleged transfer of aggression against Fulani, following arrest of a Mambilla man by security agents for alleged breach of peace.

Pictured is Barrister Isa Saidu of Zongo Ajiya, a staff of Taraba State Judiciary who was murdered yesterday afternoon at Nguroje cattle market. He is one of the victims of the tribal conflict between Mambillas and Fulanis in sardauna local Government area of Taraba state.

Meanwhile, online users have reacted to this development blaming the government for the continuous killing due to its "loud" silence.

Armed herdsmen have again struck at the farm of former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Olu Falae, in Akure, Ondo State, engaging police officers in a gun battle in the process.
Mr. Falae said he had been witnessing herdsmen grazing on his farm repeatedly in the past three weeks and decided to seek the help of the police.
It was learnt that when the 15 police officers found them grazing on Thursday and tried to approach them, the herdsmen opened fire.
The herdsmen, said to be 10 in number, immediately left the farm located at Kajola, along Igbatoro Road, after the shootout.
PREMIUM TIMES gathered that several cows were killed in the encounter as the herdsmen fled at the superior fire power of the police officers.
The Ondo police spokesperson, Femi Joseph, who confirmed the incident, said no life was lost in the encounter.
Mr. Falae was kidnapped in September 2015 by Fulani herdsmen and was only let go after four days and the payment of a N5million ransom.
“I invited the police to my farm because the herdsmen have been coming to the farm every day for several weeks and they are no longer hiding,” the Afenifere chieftain said, while speaking on the incident on Thursday.
“They come into the farm around 5 a.m. till 9 a.m., destroyed the farm, so I went to the police for protection and some policemen were sent to the farm.
“They got to the farm and met three separate herds feeding fat on my farm. When the police approached them, they fired at the policemen.”
Mr. Joseph, however, said the policemen succeeded in flushing out the herdsmen from the farm.
He said no arrest was made, but the command had set up a high-powered investigation into the matter.
