A young lawyer, Oladelemi Philip Olubakin through Barrister Femi Falana's Chambers has dragged the leadership of Nigerian Bar Association to court over theft of his intellectual properly.

According to a post made on his facebook page 2 hours ago, Oladelemi explained that he did a painting of President Muhammadu Buhari to present it to him personally during the NBA conference and was rejected and turned down that the President won't receive such present

''I was later told to keep it in the NBA building till another time only to wake up one day and see online that the painting was being presented to him by the NBA without my authoritisation, consent or knowledge as his 75th birthday present'' he said.

Oladele also shared copy of a letter written by barrister Femi Falana's chambers, Falan & Falana's Chambers demanding a return of the president's portrait to the originator.

The letter which was dated 11th January 2018 was caption ''request for return of the portraiture/artwork of President Muhammadu Buhari presented by the leadership of the Nigerian Bar Association at the state house, Aso rock, Abuja to Mr Oladele Olubakin''.

I read what they wrote there bro.
Why give out someone's work without getting his consent?
To think it's the NBA that made this blunder makes it even more embarrassing.
They went and presented it as if the portrait and the idea behind it is there own.

Hmmm why is he requesting for a return, he should ask for damages they robbed him of having to meet with the President. Which could be a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Its even worse because, they had earlier turned down the portrait and told the owner that the president won't receive it without first informing the president.

Ofcourse, the return is the first step to ensure he has more legal claim to huge damage

I don't understand something. I have noticed many times on nairaland, that when i post a news or event long before others do, the same story i published long ago maybe ignored, only for the mod to drag those that came after to the front page.

I really don't understand this style.
