NOMINEES LAWYERED-UP!



Look down on those lines:
“every tom and harry” use prefix “Barrister’ says those men are “uncouth” to prefix their names as Barristers. 

A kick in the face of President Buhari he and his AGF. JB Daudu may write to them as PMB’s list of nominees often identify members of the legal profession thereat as such.

Barrister James Ocholi’s name (Kogi) featured above from the presidency as a Barrister pure and simple.

Barrister Igini also and others including
Barrister Kasim Gana Geidam (Yobe) and listed below as Barristers on REC list by President Mohammed Buhari click:

CONCLUSION
We have enrollment numbers and year of call for  all Barristers  of the Supreme Court of Nigeria male and female.  If you were not called to Bar and you mis- present yourself as a Barrister, the Criminal Justice system would be invoked. However if you were enrolled like other learned gentlemen whom you now derogatorily tag ‘toms and harries’, those who have language have language and those who don’t have it, are as uncouth as those learned gentlemen they ‘Tom-ize and Harry-nize.’

OFOMATA'S CASE AND USE OF THE PREFIX "BARRISTER"



Dear Colleagues,
Yesterday I read the OFOMATA’s  case reported in (2017) 5 NWLR Part 1557 page 128 at 133 where J B Daudu said  as a lawyer your name ought  not to  be prefixed with the title “Barrister”.   

That you may write after your name “Barrister-at-law”. Difference between half a dozen and six.  One of JB Daudu’s Lawyers compared the learned profession with mechanics and carpenters. How to define sadism at its lowest?

Is that what they wish our learned colleagues whilst they seek elevation with a view not for our common good but to keep our colleagues at the level of poor mechanics.

Please update JB Daudu on millions of Nigerian clients who proudly write to their Lawyers and refer to them as “Barristers” and introduce them as Barristers.  Read this link below ref Barristers in England and Wales to see that when some of those ‘elevated’ pick on Lady Barristers and prefix to demean lawyers whose dignity and integrity they should otherwise promote, they commit the most abominable form of professional misconduct.
We have taken back our bar thanks to sound judgment and we will move away from un-intelligent jurisprudence.  Rather than seek to espouse and expand the term Barrister, they diminish it. U. S Attorneys are referred to and prefixed as “Attorney    YOUR NAME”. In addition  US Attorneys also use the suffix ESQ like their Nigerian counterparts.

ORIGINALLY, THREE NOBLE PROFESSIONS



There are 3 noble professions LAW MEDICINE AND THE MILITARY
No medical doctor would address his or her  professional colleague by any other title but
 Dr Agnes Ameh or
Dr Gilbert Hassan
The military so proud, army Generals  are addressed as the General or Colonel even after retirement.
If you are a Lawyer  or Attorney and you are not proud of being a lawyer or Attorney and you think others  should be role models  as I read someone this morning, maybe you need to look again.
