Pay Money to Usoros Presidency Get Scammed: Take Back Your Bar!


Dear Colleagues,

Days ago online publisher, Elombah and the Guardian and Thisday newspaper senior journalists received from me via Whatsapp, the reference number of the purported letter the NBA President Usoro SAN had sent to me in October 2018 purported same to be a ref to an imaginary letter he said the Federal Government wrote to him, and asked the Nigerian Bar Association to nominate Lawyers into the Governing Council of the National Human Rights Commission.  

The Journalists distinctly asked Mr Paul Usoro SAN on 080277772244 that he should let them see the referenced letter and  uptil now he has not sent the fake letter with which he made fake offers to his professional colleagues that FGN asked him to send names of lawyers for the reconstitution or constitution of NHRC USOROS’ Sheer Scam. No such letter exists. It’s a deliberate misrepresentation of the Federal Government of Nigeria for which Usoros are criminally answerable.

That the President of NBA would go to that level, Degenerate, let us choose another NBA President of course after we had removed Usoros from NBA House. Meanwhile do not pay any money to Usoros regime.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED PAY MONEY TO THEM GET SCAMMED. His interest is to change the face of the bar and take over NBA he has no plans for QUALITY REPRESENTATION but to promote mediocrity.
Take Back your Bar! Take Back your Bar! Take Back you Bar Now!
Thank you!

GO USORO GO! NOTICE OF REMOVAL: ARTICLE 2.3 OF NBA CONSTITUTION


NIGERIAN BAR ASSOCIATION
NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING
HOLDEN IN NBA NATIONAL SECRETARIAT
NBA HOUSE, ABUJA
WEDNESDAY 5TH, THURSDAY 6TH FRIDAY 7TH DEC., 2018
NOTICE OF REMOVAL OF MR PAUL USORO SAN FROM THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT OF NBA
BROUGHT PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 2.3(i&j) of the NBA CONSTITUION 2015
WHEREAS:-
1.     On Monday 20th August 2018, Mr Paul Usoro SAN was declared President of the Nigerian Bar Association by the Electoral Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association, ECNBA after a contested against other presidential candidates.

2.     Controversies trailed the accreditation and e-voting processes, which led the NBA President at the time A B Mahmoud SAN to appoint, with the approval of the National Executive Committee (NEC) NBA and AGC in August, 2018 in NBA House, the firm of KPMG to carry out forensic examinations in order to address allegations of malpractices and irregularities connected to voters identity theft by way of use of fraudulent email addresses hosted on malicious websites such as firemail.cc, airmail.cc, and alleged fraudulent alteration and cloning of phone numbers and interception of passwords.

3.     NEC-NBA on Sunday 26th August 2018, resolved that the said Mr Paul Usoro’s inauguration with the other National officers would nevertheless take place.

4.     One of the Presidential candidates, Arthur Obi Okafor SAN approached the FCT High Court Abuja to seek inter alia verification of the election results and the matter has been referred by the presiding Judge to arbitration/mediation to be commenced and concluded within sixty(60) days from Monday 26th Nov., 2018.

5.     This Motion for the removal of the NBA President Paul Usoro SAN has no bearing whatsoever on the pending NBA election lawsuit and or arbitration/mediation or KPMG’s audit, although Mr Usoro does appear to stultify the audit process.

6.     This Motion arises out of his money laundering charges; Mr Paul Usoro SAN is  being investigated for possible prosecution by EFCC. During the NBA campaigns there were allegations of Usoros’ money laundering activities with State actors with whom he connived to collect monies from Akwa Ibom State Government coffers in the total sum of One Billion, Four Hundred Million Naira in suspicious and fraudulent transactions as highlighted by EFCC on Oath in Nov., 2018.

7.     On the 25th July 2018,  approximately four week to NBA e-voting, on his Twitter account Mr Paul Usoro SAN stated before a public audience and NBA Voters that he did not collect money from Akwa Ibom State Government account, invariably chided Saharareporters who had queried Usoros professional  conduct. When indeed and in fact in June 2018 in a  statement signed by Mr Paul Usoro he admitted to EFCC that the said sums were actually collected from Akwa Ibom State Government coffers; Usoros lack of credibility and transparency exhibited.

8.     EFCC has filed court processes indicting the said Mr Paul Usoro SAN on account of his money laundering activities as aforesaid and hence Mr Usoro will have to exit the exalted office of the President to defend himself in pending litigations.
TAKE NOTICE that on Wednesday 5th December and/or Thursday 6th December 2018 at the hour of 9’0 Clock in the forenoon or so soon thereafter as the business of NEC permits, NEC will be prayed for the following Reliefs/Resolutions:-
 1) Removing the said Mr Paul Usoro SAN forthwith from the office of the President of NBA to prevent his further scandalous activities that denigrate the learned and honourable profession and Noble NBA.
2) That the next most senior NBA National officer would take over the running of NBA and conduct a bye-election for other Presidential contenders that is to say in alphabetical order Ojukwu SAN and Okafor SAN.
TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that this is sequel to Article 2.3 of the NBA Constitution 2015, which says the President will be removed by effluxion of time, upon resignation or removal by NEC NBA on any reasonable cause. A Group of concerned Members of NBA by letter dated 11th October 2018, having given President Paul Usoro SAN the option of resignation within 14 days (of receipt of the said letter which was delivered and stamped received on 12th October, 2018) on grounds of allegations of bribing a Judge of the National Industrial Court  Mr Justice James T Agbadu-Fishim who has post Usoro’s inauguration, been recommended for dismissal on 4th October 2018 by the National Judicial Council(NJC) and has stopped sitting as a Judge since 4/10/2018.
Dated This ……………………………Day of  …………………………….2018

THE UNDERLISTED STATUTORY MEMBERS OF NEC ARE TO SIGN INDIVIDUALLY AND TO MOVE COLLECTIVELY,  UNLESS OTHERWISE THERE MAY BE ABSTENTIONS:
1.     NATIONAL OFFICERS
2.     NBA FORMER PRESIDENTS AND GENERAL SECRETARIES

NBA WILL BENCHMARK THE GREED OF GREEN HORNS



Dear NBA Former Presidents  Olanipekun SAN and JB Daudu SAN,

Yesterday 26/11/2018 the NBA Election lawsuit came up. NBA President Paul Usoro’s mandate would appear at risk in the face of allegations of votes hijack and hacking of email addresses and phone numbers of voters and ID theft of 1500 lawyers and the NBA ICT Partner is being investigated under CYBER CRIMES Act by EFCC. All the materials used for the 2018 NBA Election that brought the USOROS strangers to NBA CHAMS Plc have been impounded by EFCC and useful statements made that might lead to prosecution of the ICT Partners and the Chief beneficiaries of the rigged election USOROS  NBA green horns.

Sirs you both had distinct candidates at the election OJUKWU and OKAFOR respectively. Now is time to put all your differences aside and work towards the goal of taking NBA from hackers.  You both used to work together until the Supremacy tussle. Don’t worry about who is superior to the other, your Learned Children must inherit a Bar whose President can speak for the voiceless. USOROS cardinal campaign pledge but he lost his voice completely and sometimes hides in Facebook posts to speak such as the post hereunder of the kidnap of the Secretary of NBA Ikole-Ekiti Branch Adeola Adebayo. Since USORO was declared NBA President he has not issued one press release.  We gave him a template his complex beclouded his vision.

The NBA Lawsuit has been moved to arbitration/mediation within sixty days. I suggest as follows:
1.   There are three presidential hopefuls USORO – Declared Winner, Okafor and Ojukwu the scores were close assuming the votes were legitimate. Therefore the arbitration/mediation should ask to split NEC and every committee and statutory bodies in 3. E.g. NJC NBA has three nominees each party must name one each USORO one nominee that is Mrs Efosa Etomi and OKAFOR one male nominee OJUKWU one male nominee. Usoros named DODO SAN and Efosa Etomi he must de-select one. Between a male lawyer and a female lawyer the male lawyer should be de-selected. That leaves NBA with two slots because NJC is five nominees President Immediate past President +3 That is why I make a case for Efosa Etomi even though she is like the Usoros Green horn in NBA matters.
 2.   Every nomination hitherto made by USORO particularly NJC has to go to NEC to authorize it particularly as the the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria makes mandatory NEC approval of nominations. Also to be filled are FJSC, CAC, NIPPS, NIMASA CLE, LAC, BoB etc DO NOT GIVE UP  NBA TO THE USOROS. 

 3.   Look at where the Usoros are coming from NBA Zero to NBA Zenith Thanks to the AJIES, standing in front of the Body of Benchers for the call to bar of the next generation of lawyers, ungrateful to their benefactors. His foreboding mission is to change the face of NBA and that includes yours.

 4.   USOROS are GREEDY. You can understand greed over what you have worked for, BUT from nowhere greed to control an association the USOROS know little of. 

 5.   The USOROS' foreboding mission is to change the face of the bar. 

 6.   Since the 31st August 2018 NBA Presidential inauguration, there has been too many kidnappings and killings of NBA State functionaries. This one in Ekiti State of the NBA Branch Secretary, is yet another too many and we don’t know why our colleagues are disappearing under USOROS Presidency. THANK YOU. CA

I DID NOT RIG NBA ELECTION, AJIE



NBA Election 2018 Disputes: Case Comes Up Today 26-11-18
The Claimant one of the NBA Presidential candidates filed an originating application essentially asking for verification of votes. In US parlance, “votes recount”. However the NBA Constitution 2015 wrote it as “verify” the votes and EC NBA Chair once said he did not verify the votes. The EC NBA under Prof. Yadudu and the immediate past President of NBA AB Mahmoud SAN are some of the major parties. The Candidates were joined. USORO SAN is one of the respondents.

Let it be known that in the WHATSAPP GROUP “CHIEF…..” of which the Group Admin was CN AJIE ESQ., my humble self, we never discussed rigging. The USOROS and not the AJIES were the administrators of their votes. All I know is while votes were being cast Mrs Mfon Usoro said “PU is winning followed by Okafor followed by Ojukwu”. That was how Madam addressed him “PU” or “Paul”. Then suddenly there was quiet and she stopped announcing it and I said to her, you stopped. That was the question I asked, has he lost Usoro SAN?. She was quiet still. Though I never met face to face with  any of the USOROS in years leading to the election, during the election and after till present, I didn’t attend the inauguration ceremony 31st Aug 2018 and before then the post victory party in Abuja, I avoided.

I didn’t also attend the victory party in their home at A21, Road 2, VGC Lagos. The USOROS invited me but I got a divine message not to attend that the USOROS would poison my meal or water. When you come to somebody’s house for a victory party you must eat a little meal. So I didn’t take that risk and as it turned out in later days they were sponsoring thugs and violence to debate professional issues. They are ‘politicians’ who use thugs not surprising they work for politicians.  

As I was saying, USOROS didn’t say why they suddenly stopped announcing the results towards the end of the votes count. It took hours before they came back to the group to say “PAUL USORO has Won” and I said congratulations and I said to the USOROS could you now address your supporters to thank them. They were reluctant to thank the voters maybe because they rigged their own election I don’t know. I was not at the venue where it was allegedly rigged. I cannot testify to something I was not part of even though I provided intellectual support and I went before a Catholic Priest and I said forgive me Father for I have sinned. 

I was not the brainbox for rigging Father but I read they rigged massively. I heard Lawyers saying if you remove the 1,500 rigged votes cast for USORO becomes the lowest scorer. They said some Ojukwu votes were diverted to Usoro some of Okafor votes were diverted to Usoros. That it’s really between OJUKWU and OKAFOR. THAT Someone won between the Two because Ojukwu’s students are over 25,000 and they queued behind him and Okafor had a massive forum Eastern Bar that queued behind him. Please Usoro also had many votes I voted for USORO. The Priest said to me, you are forgiven, although you didn’t rig, you will say one Our Father and Ten Hail Marys and one Act of Contrition. Ok.

To the best of my knowledge EFCC acting under CYBER CRIMES ACT 2105, invited the NBA ICT Partners Chams Plc., to answer to the allegations violations of the Cyber Crimes by hacking voters email addresses and phone numbers and using fictitious and fraudulent accounts online & ID THEFT. However, right now all the NBA election materials and computers used by Chams Plc are in the custody of EFCC. Chams Plc made some statements I believe.

Should EFCC get to the USOROS on the criminal charges of votes hacking, ID Theft and Election scam say Lock them up! Lock them up! Lock them up!
I too was scammed by the USOROs family of scammers. Lock them up!
Please do not pay money to NBA under Usoros presidency they scam.
The USOROS called the first NEC meeting in December 2018 when the NBA Constitution puts the quarter end of November. NEC observer status for lawyers to attend and observe NBA-NEC proceedings, has been withdrawn by the Paul Usoro. Pouh!

Why are the USOROS afraid of votes recount?. They were moved from NBA Zero to NBA Zenith; their names hitherto unknown in NBA, they have filed memorandum of conditional appearance to ‘object’ to a suit aimed at transparency and credibility of the electoral process in a noble association, as USOROS arguably occupy a stolen mandate.
Lock them up!

CRISIS IN AKWA IBOM HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY: NBA MUTENED-MUMU USORO SHOULD SPEAK!


Dear Learned Friends,
APC says PDP should be blamed for the crisis in Akwa Ibom State House of Assembly because some former PDP members in the assembly had defected to APC and PDP fought the defection.

Whilst APC & PDP fight, thugs surfaced and Police steps in and now the premises has been under lock and key.  The Senate also stepped in. Matters made worse, the APC faction has removed the speaker of the house who is obviously a loyalist of Gov Emmanuel Udom and the said faction some opine, might come to get the Gov’s seat sooner or later. 

In the Akwa Ibom crisis situation, the Akwa Ibom State Lawyer declared as NBA President in August 2018 now MUTENED-MUMU.  The new face of NBA has yet issued a press statement on any subject pertaining to the state of the nation against his campaign pledge to SPEAK. They know how to collect One Billion Four Hundred Million N= from Akwa Ibom State Govt coffers to share some Counsel fees even though PU was not Counsel on record in that election Tribunal matter he said he was the coordinating counsel, was it to act as conduit?. The Rules of Professional Conduct ascribes fees only to counsel in a matter.

 They won’t speak on public interest matters they only know how to share State money. CULTISTS AND VIOLENT THUGS  They fight strong women because they have ‘strength’. They should fight public interest issues now Weaklings and NBA MUTENED – MUMU.


RULE 21 LPRPC - LEARNED COUPLE, USOROS' FRAUDULENT REPRESENTATION


Rule 21 LPRPC  - UPHOLDING THE HONOUR OF THE PROFESSION
Lawyers should expose without fear or favour the dishonest conduct of Mr and Mrs Usoro.
