I'm glad Mahmoud was elected by the majority using the novel electronic voting system.

This shows that the NBA is forward thinking and embraces positive change. Regardless of this glaring fact, I bet my left ball that some mentally challenged youth will still ascribe this to PMB/'northernocracy'.

I thought NBA is led by a chairman and not president (and this is a case of another northerner after they must have held meeting within the NBA).

Thats what the IPOD thugs will say not knowing the NBA is an independent association that is not controlled by the Govt.

Congrats to the able Barrister, Monday Onyekachi Ubani for his new appointment as the second Vice- President of the NBA.

Congrats to him !

Never underestimate the miseries of Indonesian firewoods.

This has nothing to do with PMB,it was zoned to the north and the two contestants are northeners.

I wish Gadzama won.

So just about 5000 lawyers eligible to vote?

Do you have comprehension problems? Read my post again and see if your response makes any sense.
