One of the qualities of a good leader is to make consultations..... Malami ought to have consulted widely before making such decision.


This would not only affect the revenues of the NBA, but it would cause some misconduct by aggrieved members.


Malami should be careful not to take sides with the splinter NBA group, he should be very careful.

Drive by Arewa Moslems for a Nigeria to be governed with Islamic Sharia criminal justice system removes every rational consideration from the drivers.

Just another divide and rule tactics.

another medium uniting a collection of people which cuts across all calibre of the populace bites the dust.. just like the CAMA bill which tends to unite Christians of all callibre and house of worship..

If a body could stand down a very vocal sitting Governor, it could try one day for a certain president.

Unity of people beyond differences never favours an autocratic/dictatorial Government.

Malami is something else.
Who dash am SAN sef?

He was dashed by a passdd currupt council. Smh

He foresaw most of these things coming. Your hats up for him. You know who? Mazi Nnamdi Kalu.
Most of the north had since embraced Sharia criminal laws, unconstitutionally, since 1999.
That was the start of break up for Nigeria.
Don’t dare say Biafrauuud again, unless you have lost all grey matter in your head.

but let's look at it properly. the amended law favours the masses more. you can now defend yourself in court even though you're not a lawyer so far you're intellectually sound and know what you're arguing.

EastGold:

Thats part of what Falana said. NBA did not care about quality of law, it was focused on generating revenue and allowed impunity. Now that it's visited by impunity it cannot raise alarm.

Are you aware SAN is also awarded by federal character, and not by merit?

SarkinYarki:


How did they bring politic ? How can someone with allegations of Human rights abuse and contempt of the rule of law Address a body legal professionals ...well keep supporting Nonsense but deep down you know Buhari has already gone down in history asad Nigerias worst leader ever and nothing is going to change that .

You said it right, allegations. Why should a body of professional legal practitioners makes decision based on allegations?

WHY is the AGF the President of the General Council of the Bar ??
this is WRONG. we just like to GIVE people POWE anyhow in nigeria

Implication: close the study of Law in Nigeria.

fulanimafia:


Exactly.

The inexperienced new NBA leadership allowed itself to be railroaded into taking an ill thought and insensitive decision based on ordinary unsubstantiated allegations, without weighing the consequences.

I hope they're able to deal with this situation amicably because it does not augur well for the future of the hitherto noble association.

An apologist's take on things, If I may say so....


The NBA's stance leading to this poorly crafted reprisal, should be supported..
As it highlighted the ongoing blight under Elruf's watch... Statewide and within his household..

I'm certain an avenue to mitigate the negative outcomes or repeal this decision, will be identified soon.

ThatFairGuy1:
Wow. This is immoderate. He has indirectly gave way for FAKE LAWYERS

Adegboruwa also said once the seal and stamp were no longer used, the development could lead to an increase in the number of fake lawyers in the country.

From the write up some members of the association doesn't attend meeting, so how will they know maybe consultations were made before the decisions?

SarkinYarki:


Just see what you are saying

There is no Monopoly of Stupidity. Since NBA decided to be Stupid, the Northern Lawyers too are showing to be more Stupid.

OPPPS:

I guess you know the definition of allegations. The same allegation was leved against Obasanjo and Wike. Did NBA withdraw Wike and Obasanjo invitations?
Your Wailing attitude will not allow you to speak with open mind

The enormity of the wanton widespread destruction given the added historical + geographical context... as seen in those allegations against Elruf is much larger than Obasanjo and Wike's individually, and dare I say, collectively....

NBA caused its disintegration. Next time, pick your battles. It's not all wars that you go to.

NBA brought politics into a professional body, now FG is bringing politricks. Once again, pick your battles well.

Says who? MURIC voice in the SW? Not too long ago, a prominent Yoruba Moslem suggested that the Sultan of Sokoto be renamed Sultan of Nigeria. Implication? Nigeria an Islamic Sultanate.
But your undoing is that most Yoruba Moslems cannot touch Islamic Sharia Criminal Justice System - not even with a long pole.

Does anyone need to tell you that the division in the NBA was caused by northern Moslems who want Sharia Criminal Justice System to be inserted in the Constitution? El-Rufai talk is just a camouflage. But sharia criminal laws were carefully avoided in the 1999 Constitution supervised by Moslem northern military dictators.

They avoided sharia criminal laws in the constitution because they knew it was a call for anarchy in a Nigerian society of plural religious beliefs.

Good move but due process was not followed.

BLAISECAMPAORE:


My argument is my opinion.

The decision is the AGF's.

Understand the difference.

I didn't tell u that ur argument isn't ur opinion & that d decision isn't that of d AGF. This is what I asked u:

Is all d argument u have been putting forward d reason why d AGF is watering down d powers of d NBA thru gazzette? Simple yes or no

Things are gradually falling apart,very soon the center may not be able to help with holding.

Malami the tactician - if he doesn't expunge the use of seal and stamp, how will the NNBA get the stamp and initiate court processes?

Lalasticlala

This is a good move. The stamp thing has been abused, has become a money generating diversion. I welcome the accessibility to personally take my cases rather than use some incompetent lawyers I come across. Justice must be easily accessible to all

My only grouse is the timing. There’s clearly an ethnic, political coloration with the whole nnba thing. This government is ruthlessly, ethnically insensitive. #Fact

It highlighted nothing in actual fact.

All it did was naively validate the regional sentiments of a section of its membership, who clearly used their sectional majority, to start an online petition based on mere allegations, that garnered a significant amount of like minded colleagues' signatures which was subsequently adopted by the leadership. An action whose consequences are being felt now.

The clear evidence of bias and lack of neutrality in the leadership's decision which pandered to sectional interests, has robbed the body of its national outlook, and its not farfetched to consider the AGF's decision as reflective of this fact.

BLAISECAMPAORE:


Did NBA consult widely before disinviting El-Rufai based on mere allegations?

Madness is not a one way street.

What kind of stupid dumb statement is this, the leadership of the NBA who invited elrufai decided to uninvite him, the agf made a decision concerning the NBA without consulting the leadership of the NBA. It is therefore illegal.
