LordIsaac:
Why should he be removed? He is only doing his job and has no time to stroke the ego of the noise makers. The house was created for the people, not the people for the house. The dishonourable members have made the house dishonourable. They are not qualified to order anybody. So, say what you may, he has called their bluff!

See who is talking.

fidorocks:
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.

A female judge is referred to as 'My Lord" because there is no female in the legal profession. That's why you refer to a female judge while you are before a male judge or another female judge, you call that female judge "your learned brother".

And the water sprayed on the aircraft?
Is it because of the heat in Kaduna?

Since the advent of Buhari, the DSS had taken over the work of the police and had been maiming people

omenkaLives:
Seems this has now become their favorite line of defense. One crook used it, the rest of the crooks hear about it and adopt same.

How pathetic.

Buhari's lawyer gave Justice Ademola some amount of money and according to him, it was a gift.

Naijahelm:
A Nigerian man was given the shock of his life after seeing a piece of fish sold for N42000 in a supermarket in Lagos.

Chris shared the photo and wrote; So earlier today, i was at the Grand square supermarket in Victoria Island, to get some snacks to quench my cravings.

Guess what I saw? Can you imagine this piece of fish is sold for 42,000 Naira?

Shouldn't this be a wake up call for all Nigerians to go into fishing? Water don pass Garri o.

Gerrout!
It's N420.00

In Hausa language "yau" meaning today or "Gobe" meaning tomorrow is not literally translated.
In his context, it means "in the future" not the literal tomorrow.

If you get your tint permit through an agent without the biometrics at the police headquarters in your state, it's fake.

2ndly, if you don't have a National ID card (either old or new) then your permit is fake. This is because your fingerprint is linked to that of the National ID card database.

3rdly, there is no written application or passport photograph as it's by physical capture.

You are warned. I just did mine on Friday last week and certificate came out today.

He called you Femi instead of the usual name and you believed it's him abi?

It's not military uniform but that of Royal Ambassadors. It's a youth organization of a church. I think it's Assemblies of God Church.

There is something wrong with this picture. Do Muslims go to graveyards to pray?

Spoon fed Child, what do you know?. If he can't put on the customs uniform b'cos he's a retired soldier, he shouldn't have accepted the offer. There are so many retired soldiers doing Security works for companies including banks wearing the Bank's or company's security uniforms. Your stupidity is legendary.

General Haladu Hannaniya (retired) the then Corp Marshal and Chief Executive of FRSC wore the FRSC uniform all through his almost 10 years as corp marshal and ordinary Colonel will not wear the rank of Comptroller General of Customs who is equivalent to a Lt. General in the Army.

Osita Chidoka was a civilian appointed as corp marshal of FRSC and he wore the uniform all through. Some people's foolishness is just legendary.


A member of the House of Representatives representing Katsina Federal Constituency, Sani Danlami, has paid the medical bill for circumcision of 130 children in his constituency as Constituency Project.

A Hausa newspaper, Rariya, reported that it was part of the lawmaker’s constituency project.

Lie!

Khd95:
Does covenant,redeemers university etc allow muslim gathering


U just want to make trouble where nd when there is none.


I passs

All the Universities you mentioned are owned by churches. Musa Yaradua University is a state university established under the Katsina State Law No.7 promulgated in September, 2006. There is EVERYTHING wrong with it.

Abia and Imo states have Muslim Pilgrims Boards.

So the Nigerian Army doesn't know an IDP camp?

chindoone:
that's a local government Area (rural) in plateau state beside him former and present chairmen of shendam and langtang North

A local government headquarters CANNOT be "rural" as you want us to believe.
At least he should have dressed like Dan Dul or Kemi Nshe.

And the other man in the black kaftan adorn with similar clothing like Dalung is Dan Dul the management committee chairman of Langtang North LGA.

gamargu:
How about Christians, must you show everyone that you are devoid of common sense

You also misfired. You towed the same path with him. Your mentioned of Christians showed your own level of common sense.

What I see is a grader. How can a military equipment come with that big glass? I hope the windshield is armoured sha

PHC1stBorn:
In his early 40s, DPO Amah Daniel is definitely a breathe of fresh air out of the Nigerian police force, and he should be the face of an efficient, dependable and trustworthy police force, even now that the country aimed at achieving true change at all fronts.
Gov. Wike's CSO is about 36 years of age...same rank as the DPO. So, he can't be the youngest DPO/DSP in Nigeria

I guess yu choose not to read where it says he is in his early 30's meaning 30-35. The report also didn't say youngest DSP but DPO. This are 2 very different things

I don't know how some people do read sha. Its not cash he took but actually sold a property belonging to the company. The property is in a choice place in Lagos

Chief Law Breaker of the Federation

OP come & knee down here. Who told yu and this mods that the incident happened in Jos? It happened at Mararaban Jos in Kaduna state more than 200 kilometres away from Jos.

Make Akpororo your running mate and that would be the end of Nigeria.

And we will start to export crude jokes

AlkaliLong:
hehehehehe there iz no emir in jos

There are infact two emirs in Plateau state :
They are Emir of Kanam in Kanam LGA and Emir of Wase in Wase LGA.

I am of the very firm view that the judiciary should select and swear its head without recourse to thr President.

We have 3 arms of government and the legislative always choose its head without any recourse to the executive.

I don't see why the head of the judiciary should be subject to the executive for approval and legislative for confirmation. Its ridiculous.
