My own experience as a young Lawyer about nine (9) years ago. I hope it is not the same person? It definitely sounds like 'him'

After my Youth Service some years ago in Lagos, I attended the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) Meeting at the Ikeja Branch. Newcomers were asked to introduce themselves, stating name and their office address. I came to my turn and I mentioned the fact that I don't work anywhere yet. After the meeting, a one of the Senior Lawyers met me and asked if I was interested in working in his firm, I said yes. We arranged a meeting for that evening. He asked me a lot of questions about my personal and academic background. He also grilled me on issues in Corporate Governance (which I was not too conversant about at that time; That encounter sparked my interest in it). He offered me the job for a monthly pay of N30,000 (Thirty Thousand Naira). That was 2007 [I would cost me about N37,000 to transport myself to the Office for a month, excluding feeding and accommodation]. He bragged that he was offering more than most Law Firms in Lagos were paying young inexperienced lawyers. He told me that in the real sense, I should be the one paying him for giving me the rare opportunity to learn under His Eminence.

1st Day at Work
I resumed work the following Monday at 7:00am. He arrived shortly after 8:00am and gave me some pleadings to draft. He went out and returned to the office around 4:00pm. I submitted the task I was assigned and sat at my desk. By 6:00pm I went to tell Oga, His Eminence that I was closing for the day. I flared "What nonsense is this? How can you close at this time? Don't think you will be closing early like this everyday!!!!". That since it was my first day at work, he will overlook my sins, but it must not repeat itself ever again. I thanked him and left. I felt humiliated and exploited even.

2nd Day at Work - Resignation Day!
I resumed 7:00am as usual. Oga walked in a few minutes after 8:00am. Instructed me to write some letters to valued clients. He left and returned shortly after 4:00pm. I went to his office and submitted the draft letters. As he was reviewing them, I told him I was leaving. He started flaring up again, but before he went far, I made it clear that I did not want to work for him again. He immediately became remorseful and asked me why. I listed a few: the terms of the employment was unfair; he was too harsh; I was not too desperate; God will provide another better job for me . . .
He started pleading and begging me. He even promised to increase my salary to N50,000. I said no, thanked him for 'believing' in me and I walked out a happy man, with my dignity intact!

Prologue
A few days latter, I was offered a FAR BETTER JOB by the Ogun State Government. I still maintain close contact with My Learned Senior, and I keep him updated of my progress in life.

Lessons Learnt
1. No man controls your destiny. That is the exclusive preserve of God! (well, except you decide to mess it up yourself)
2. It does not cost God anything to bless a man;
3. When you have the opportunity to help someone and you neglect to do it, God will raise help for that person from another place, and you will not share the glory;
4. Allowing desperation to control your choices will only lead you into slavery and despair;
5. The fact that things are not working now does not mean nothing will ever work! cool

Wow. I feel humbled by this charge from a senior collegue at the bar. Thanks for the enlightenment, though I wl soon leave once I get a beta job, though I dont want to spend a long time in litigation (Practice). I plan to move forward so am looking for other job opportunities. Tnks alot sir. Also tnks to others for the encouragement.

I got a job with small law firm in Ikeja, owns by a family frnd, about 4 weeks ago. But up till now, my boss is yet to call me one on one to discuss the terms of payment with me (mind you, am the only lawyer working for him). It was later our secretaries secretly informed me dat my boss doesnt pay on time, and dat he pays mere stipend, as thats what keeps many job applicants away frm that firm. How can I work without knowing how much my salary is?? I spend #800 daily on transport from Sango to Opebi, yet u cant satisfy my boss. He takes offences at every slight mistake u make. One thing dat pains me over d weekend was dat on Friday, I prepared a defence for him, but he ended up throwing insult at me on simple inadequacies. My boss shouted at me & compared me to his daughter in 300 Level University, on d basis dat she can solve professional issues dan me, all in d presence of our secretaries and clients. It was such an embarassment I never got in my life. I just wish to get another job elsewhere, probably a company or any better place. It's another Monday, full of uncertainties of what will happen in office today.

In fact, its like the OP knows what am facing at work. U cant satisfy my boss. He takes offences at every slight mistake u make. One thing dat pains me over d weekend was dat on Friday, my boss shouted at me & compared me to his daughter in 300 Level University, on d basis dat she can solve professional issues dan me, all in d presence of our secretaries and clients. It was such an embarassment I never got in my life. Am leaving him soon once he pays me.

There's this British girl I met on
Facebook, she sent me friend's
request which I accepted, during a
prolonged chat together, she said
she's in love with me which I truly
appreciated after telling her that am
not used to online dating due many
complications and scamming
involved.

She begged me to just give her a trial and she'll prove her commitment. After I agreed, she then asked that if won't mind, she wanted me to come over to UK and meet her, saying she'll sponsor all the expenses of my travelling, but I rejected due to
the fear of the unexpected things that
may follow, after a long argument, I
later accepted. Then she requested
my personal information (Full name,
address, e-mail, occupation, date of
birth and phone number) which I
actually sent to her saying she'll use it
to apply for invitation letter at their
embassy. Finally she said she actually
apply for the invitation, that within a
week, the invitation letter will be ready
then she'll send it to me and use it to
apply for visa here in Nigeria. Now, my
problem is that, it's not that I don't
trust her, but do u guys think such
thing is normal that she may not have
some hidden mission on me since I
don't ever saw her in real life and the
way she insisted on the visit (Also
remember, she's the one to sponsor
everything for the travelling).

Feel like crying for d baby. Pple ar wicked o. It is well.

Cute. I love this. More blessing for ur generation.

Speechless3:
How are we sure Valentine was a saint? How are we sure he is in heaven o.
How are we sure our good deeds will earn us heaven.Dont be too sure esp if its not in the bible.

I hear.

No doubts, the memory of Saint
Valentine will remain evergreen in
the annals of the Roman Catholic
Church as a passionate Priest who
risked his life to join several
couples in marriage against the
ruthless order of the then Emperor
Claudius. Far back in the 5th
century, the emperor needed
more men in the army and felt
their allegiance to their spouses
and children was distracting them,
so he outlawed marriage and
compelled young men to join the
army. St Valentine discovered that
the insensitive decree was ungodly
and it was promoting sexual
immorality. He felt moved by
passion and was conducting
weddings for intending young men
against the wicked order of
Emperor Claudius to avoid them
sleeping around. The priest was
arrested and jailed. He was
(according to oral traditions) killed
on February 14, 259 or 269 (about
1,747 years ago)...
Valentine's Day HAS NOTHING TO
DO WITH WILD PARTIES, ILLICIT
SEX, WASTEFUL SPENDINGS AND
ALL FORMS OF UNGODLINESS. IN
THE CONTRARY, THE MAN, ST
VALENTINE DIED WHILE
PREVENTING THOSE VICES!

From my many encounters with
various young boys and girls, too
many people lost their virginity on
Valentine's Day! Many abortions!
Unscrupulous dates/datings,
senseless giving and taking of rings
and rose flowers.... What a world
of many fantasies, vanities, illusions
and phantasies! That this year's
Valentine's Day falls on a Sunday
further heightens the temptation
since it's a work-free day! On
14/2/2016, the destinies of many
young girls will be bought with a
pack of ice cream or a blackberry
phone! Jesus loves you and so you
should also live for Him! If the
man: St Valentine is in heaven
now, why must you go to hell
while celebrating his memory?

THE gruesome murder of 22-year-old
Precious Naza Onyenanu, who
graduated last year from Imo State
University with a degree in Education
(Economics), has given her
traumatized father, Mr. Innocent Eze
Onyenanu and other relations the
greatest shock of their lives.
He still shudders every time the
thought flashes in his mind and his
tears have also not ceased to flow.
Precious, a native of Isu, in Isu Local
Government Area of Imo State was
allegedly butchered by Ephraim Isom,
27, a graduate of Rivers State
University of Science and Technology
(RUST), who hails from Andoni Local
Government Area in Rivers State. The
heinous murder took place in a hotel
in the Rukpokwu area of Port
Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.
Precious met Ephraim in 2012, when
he was posted to Imo State for the
national youth service and they fell in
love. After his national youth service
year ended, Ephraim maintained his
relationship with Precious, in the hope
of eventually going into marriage after
the victim’s graduation. But that, as it
has turned out was just a ruse and
dummy sold by Ephraim to Precious,
to string her along. Innocently, and
being a young woman as she was,
Precious believed him hook, line and
sinker. Rather than formalizing the marriage, exchange rings and marriage vows, what Precious got was unkindest and deadliest cut that ended her life, from the young man she once called, “my darling".

The road that led to the tragic end of
Precious began when her father asked
her to travel to Port Harcourt to escort
her sister, Mrs Ezinne Blessing
Godswill, to Imo State, to spend the
2015 yuletide with the family.
Presumably seeing the trip to Port
Harcourt as an opportunity to see and
spend some time with Ephraim, she
excitedly called him and intimated him
about the planned visit to the Garden
City. On Saturday, December 5, she
left for Port Harcourt, with absolutely
no premonition of the evil fate that
Ephraim had carefully scripted for her.
Unknown to her, Ephraim who had
professed undying love for her, was
also secretly nursing an evil plan
against her, and looking for an
opportunity to execute it. Pretending
that all was well, the suspect booked a
room in a hotel (name withheld) at
Rukpokwu about 7 am and left. He
was said to have called Precious on
the phone, and told her of the hotel
where she would stay and the bus-
stop she should alight after arriving in
Port Harcourt.
With grief laden in his heart, Precious’
father made a manly effort to recount
to Sunday Sun reporter how the
daughter came to a horrific end: “On
Saturday, December 5, 2015, I sent my
daughter to Port Harcourt, to bring
her sister from Port Harcourt, to Imo
State. She left Owerri about 7am.
About 12.30, I tried to call her on the
phone, to know if she got to Port
Harcourt safely, but her phone was
switched off. I tried all through the
night, but the call did not go
through.”

The 67-year-old businessman
disclosed that when the phone eventu­
ally went through the following day,
Sunday, December 6, 2015, it was a
male voice that responded.
His words: “About 12:30, the following
day, Sunday, December 6, 2015, the
phone rang and it was a male voice
that spoke. Just before I could ask him
about the owner of the handset, he
quickly switched off.”

At that point, Onyenanu said he
became afraid and concluded that his
daughter had been kidnapped. He
said he rushed to the Anti-Kidnapping
Unit of the Imo State Police
Command, Owerri, to lodge a
complaint. And when he went back to
the Command the following day,
Monday, December 7, 2015, for
necessary documentation, Precious
was declared missing by the police.

The Imo State Police Command was
said to have investigated the case
throughout the week, but all efforts to
unravel the mystery surrounding the
sudden disappearance of the girl
proved abortive.
But on Monday, December 14, while
at the Imo Police Command, the
distraught father said he received a
phone call from his brother-in-law
living in Port Harcourt, Ifeanyi Nmezi,
who told him to rush to Port Harcourt,
adding that his daughter had been
murdered. In his confused state, Eze
went to Port Harcourt and joined his
daughter, Ezinne, at the Homicide
Section, where she had already
written a statement in respect of the
murdered Precious.Detectives in Rivers swing into action.

In the course of the investigation,
policemen attached to the State
Criminal Investigation Department
(SCID), Rivers State Police Command
approached one of the GSM service
providers and obtained the call log
with a view to knowing the last person
she communicated with before her
gruesome murder. With the
information provided by the GSM
network company, the police identi­
fied the person who spoke to Precious
last and also sent a Short Message
Service, SMS to her, describing the
bus stop where she should alight and
the name of the hotel where they
would lodge. The policemen later
traced the suspect, arrested and
detained him. After initial interroga­
tion, the detectives took the detained
suspect the following day to his house
where they conducted a search. And
in his house, two handsets belonging
to the victim were found.
Father of the victim takes up the tale:
“When the police found the two
handsets, I was invited to come for
identification. It was our housemaid,
Chiamaka, who knows the handsets
used by my daughter that identified
the phones.”
But in an effort to cover the alleged
crime, Ephraim deleted all the
contacts in the handsets, which he
also claimed belonged to him. To
further confirm the real owner of the
handsets, the police took them to the
service provider, who restored the
deleted contacts and call log.
“It was after the contacts were
restored that the police saw the SMS
Ephraim sent to my daughter, telling
her the bus stop to alight at
Rukpokwu,” Onyenanu further said.

According to the account of the
management of the hotel, the suspect
came to book a room on the fateful
day at 7am. After paying, he locked it
up and went away with the key. About
10am, he came back in the company
of Precious.
“After sometime, two of them went
out and later came back, holding food
in take-away packs they bought from
one of the eateries,” a source at the
hotel told Sunday Sun .
It was also gathered that after
sometime, too, the suspect went out
again without Precious. But the
director of the hotel felt un­
comfortable and suspicious of the
movement of the man. He asked him
if he was checking out and also asked
about the girl he took into the room
he had booked.
But Ephraim lied to him, claiming that
Precious was sleeping, and added that
he wanted to buy something and then
come back soon.

“Not satisfied with his response, the
director asked the manager to call the
suspect back. But he (Ephraim) was
able to play a fast one on the
manager and disappeared. He never
came back to the hotel again,” the
source further disclosed.
The hotel workers then went to knock
on the door of the room but there
was no response. After banging on
the door repeatedly without any
response, they peeped through a hole
and saw the victim’s lifeless body on
the bed, wrapped with bed sheet and
in a pool of blood. It was after the
discovery that the management of the
hotel reported the matter to a nearby
police station. A team of policemen
went to the hotel, forced the door
open and removed the body to the
University of Port Harcourt Teaching
Hospital (UPTH) mortuary.
Promptly, the police arrested and
detained the director, manager and
security men. When interrogated, they
denied any involvement or knowledge
of the crime, but assured that they
would identify the customer, who
booked the hotel and brought in the
victim.

Expectedly, the murder of the young
graduate devastated her family,
especially her mother, Florence.
According to Onyenanu, Precious,
who was the last but one child in the
family lacked nothing as her elderly
ones and parents, provided for her
needs.

Asked whether his daughter and her
fiancé had any quarrel which could
have led to the dastardly act, the
grieving father disclosed to the
reporter how one of his daughters
told him that Precious had
misunderstanding with Ephraim, after
someone called him (Ephraim) on the
phone one day, and Precious picked
the call and the person turned out to
be his girlfriend. The incident was said
to have angered Precious, who
accused the suspect of planning to jilt
(dump) her.

“Also, who knows whether my
daughter told him about her plans to
travel to UK this year for her master’s
degree programme? I’m calling on
the Federal Government, the Inspector General Solomon Arase, women lawyers, human rights activists, to come to my aid. All I want is justice,” the grief-stricken father moaned.

A police corporal attached to the
Ayinla Police Division, Ogun State
Police Command, has gone into a
coma after being beaten in the
Agbado area of Ogun State.
Our correspondent learnt that four
men attacked the corporal, identified
only as Kazeem, while he came to
the area to make an arrest.
PUNCH Metro learnt that the four
men – Oluwaseyi Adejumo, Sunday
Akinwunmi, Opeoluwapo Rasak and
Ismaila Adesina – who are now in
police custody, also allegedly
attacked the corporal with weapons
on Adiyan Road, Pipeline, Agbado
area.
The other cops who came with
Kazeem – a man and two women –
were said to have fled the area and
called for reinforcements from the
police station.


Our correspondent learnt that on
Saturday, at about 7pm, a resident
of the area, whose name had yet to
be ascertained, had reported a case
of assault occasioning harm at the
police station, and the four
policemen had been detailed to
arrest the suspects.
It was gathered that when the
policemen got to the scene, seven
hoodlums, allegedly including the
four men, swooped on the corporal
and beat him to a pulp.
Kazeem was said to have been
rushed to a private hospital for
treatment.


Speaking with PUNCH Metro, a
resident of the area, who gave his
name only as Adeogun, said the
corporal fainted while he was being
battered by the hoodlums.
He said, “A man reported at the
station that a neighbour assaulted
him. So, the police sent the corporal
and three others to the area. The
policemen are from the Ayinla
division.


“But hoodlums swooped on them
while they were making the arrest.
The three other officers fled from
the scene, leaving the corporal to be
beaten until he fainted. They also
stabbed him.
“After the hoodlums were done,
they fled. I think they took advantage
that there were two females among
the officers. The policeman was
rushed to a hospital for treatment.”


The Ogun State Police Public
Relations Officer, DSP Muyiwa
Adejobi, confirmed that the
policeman was attacked.
He added that the corporal had
been treated, and the suspects
would be charged to court for
assaulting a policeman on duty.
He said, “We did not lose the
policeman to the incident. He and
others had gone to make an arrest.
One of the residents had assaulted
another resident and the case was
reported to the police.
“Some hoodlums gathered
themselves and attacked the
policeman. Our men have been
warned not to fire. They managed
the attack and they were able to
arrest four of the suspects.


“We are going to charge the
suspects to court. Nobody has the
right to beat up a policeman on
duty.”

I try to exercise patience coz I first thought it wasnt formal to start asking for salary matter. He always want me to be at work puntually but I cant cope again.
