Mrs P.O Kuye
and Mrs HA Balogun were classmates, called to Bar when so many here were
toddlers or not even born in 1963. One rose to become the first female General
Secretary of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mrs Balogun and the other became the
first female President of Nigerian Bar Association, Mrs Kuye, at different
times. Someone is asking if they are peers. YES!.
Both women
of GREAT substance!. Both S'Westerners. Both of whom are my
older/respected friends. Chief (Mrs) Kuye would call you when you have lost an
NBA Election for the office of General Secretary Kuye would say ‘Carol why
don’t you file for another office and then contest the office of General Secretary
later’. When Mrs Priscilla Kuye was NBA President she would call you not
minding you are her junior at the Bar by far she would say 'Carol you will
support my regime' (in the "90's). And I did respond: “Yes Ma”.
Mrs Kuye
kicked against AGF job such that when IBB offered to her, the position of
Attorney General of the Federation/Minister of Justice she would have been first
female AGF, she said “NO!” Emphatically that she preferred the office of
President of NBA to AGF or whatever.
Married to
Chief Kuye his great soul rest in perfect peace, Amen! he was on FGN top post.
She is a good Catholic and understands celibacy rules that if you are a
celibate you keep to your vows of chastity and abstinence till you make Heaven.
If you are not a celibate, kindly take matrimonial vows “till life do you
part”. Kuye’s adorable Daughter Law Editor Thisday newspaper
is Mrs Onikepo Braithwaite. Click
Mrs HA Balogun is a good Muslim married and
separated, her children are two Big Boys one with her in a law firm she founded
now situated in V/Island, hard worker like Mrs Kuye disciplined also like
Mrs Kuye. Kindly no one ought to frown at Mrs Balogun for taking
Govt appointment as first female AG Lagos State. She helped many law firms grow
I confirmed it though I wasn't enrolled then and not a beneficiary
thereof, that Mrs Balogun as AG Lagos, would insist on franking only law firms
must frank legal documents and earn legal fees. She once contested for
the office of NBA President and lost blame NBA she got only 4 (four) votes.
Yet another woman Otunba O Ajayi contested office of NBA President scored 2
(two) votes. Mrs Funke Adekoya lost the NBA Presidency to Olisa Agbakoba
2006. NBA Big Sisters were severely beaten. So did Mrs Justina Offiah SAN.
NBA election not about Mrs/Dr/Professor. “Great
Mrs” married to “Great Mr Guy” or “Mrs Chastity” spouse of Lord Jesus, the
men in NBA should learn not to be frightened of our female colleagues
henceforth.
Best regards
CA
