NBA ON THE PATH TO COLLAPSE


NBA ON THE PATH TO COLLAPSE.
The NBA is on the path to collapse following the AGM.
To start with, Chief Obafemi Adewale was indicted more decades ago when Mrs Adekoya was Treasurer and
Charles Idehen President. She presented her annual report on ten Million naira donation to NBA by the then military regime. Issues of accounts became thorny. Do you know Adewale lost his seat. At the time elections were annual and manual general election all voted.
Alegeh and Usoros railroaded a so-called NBA Constitution 2019 to officially endorse looting ad the officed of the Treasurer and Financial Secretary now been scrapped or so they purport.
Not mentioning the stench Usoros EFCC trial for money laundering and corruption brought up NBA house.
Usoro also had planned to force a clause that only rich men will be allowed to vie for the offices of President and General Secretary. Thanks to Hero of the AGM Monday Ubani Esq who successfully moved to strike that down.
However there are issues of proven administrative skills. Undefined to enable them start disqualifying lawyers. Before you are allowed to contest for the office of the President and GS 2020 you must have proven admin skills. Note that neither Alegeh nor Usoro were anything in NBA before they became Presidents and these same hypocrites talk of prior administrative skill. Skills that neither of them possess prior and at tenure.
Usoros organized their first AGC Lagos 2019 for the first time in history many delegates had to buy their lunch and water after paying huge registration fees. Upon arrival a school bag which they call conference bag is handed to the registered delegate. That is all you gat The program arrived late.
The few lawyers who said it's the best conference are irredeemably dishonest. I sent a text message to one of the so called sudden supporter today and I quote my text: " The Supporter of a Thief is a Chief Thief".
Usoros received N200million money pledged to AB Mahmoud's regime for last year's AGC but paid by the pledgee Lagos State Govt to Mr Usoro and he failed to capture it in his report. You call that transparency? He also lied that N450million of NBA'S money was fixed in Access Bank when in deed actual sum is N550million.
Could face litigation to strike down the 'decisions' of that kangaroo πŸ¦˜ AGM taken Thurs 29th Aug., against protestation that you cannot amend the NBA Constitution to enable official looting. Because the new Director of Finance a staff & employee would pander to the President he or she serves in a new master and servant setting. Note further that all assistant positions for young lawyers were scrapped safe for one, safe for assistant Secretary. All others scrapped by Looooni-Usoros. It is beyond hypocrisy, this is sheer lunacy against the AGC theme 'facing the future' intended to energize young lawyers. Ironically this is the poor package from Usoros to youngsters anxious to serve our Nigerian Bar Association. ++++++++++++

CRASS INCOMPETENT AND CORRUPT USOROS MOVED AGC TIME THURS TO 2PM DUE TO INCONSISTENCIES AND INACCURACIES IN THEIR FINANCIAL REPORT TO NBA


Crass incompetent and corrupt  Usoros last minute moved time for the AGC today Thurs 29-8-19 to 2pm. Because of inconsistencies and inaccuracies in their Financial report.

*NOTICE OF CHANGE OF TIME OF NBA ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING FROM 12PM TO 2PM*

Dear distinguished colleagues,

Recall that by an earlier published notice, the Annual General Meeting was fixed for 12 pm, today Thursday, 29/8/2019 at Harbour Point, Victoria Island, Lagos.

However, we find it necessary to adjust the time for the Annual General Meeting to 2pm, today, Thursday, 29/8/19 due to the following exigencies -

i. We just circulated the Revised Audited Financial Statements this morning following the fundamental errors that were discovered in the previously submitted Audited Financial Statement.  These errors were discovered by the Treasurer working with our accounting department, yesterday afternoon, 28 August 2019, at about 2pm while preparing for the Annual General Meeting..  The errors required the complete replacement of some pages of the Audited Financial Statement and it wasn’t until close to midnight that we got the corrected versions from the Auditor which is why we are circulating them this morning for the members to study ahead of the meeting.

 ii. Furthermore, it is our modest take that moving the Annual General Meeting to 2pm allows lawyers to have their lunch ahead of the meeting considering that NBA is not providing lunch for members and the Annual General Meeting, if we start at 12noon, given the Agenda Items, could conceivably drag up to 4pm.  We believe that it is actually convenient and makes for proper planning if the meeting starts at 2pm, after lunch, and, assuming it lasts for 4 hours (cannot last beyond that), we will be through by 6pm. 

iii. As a corollary to the second point above, the Sections are having their Annual General Meetings at 9am and we consider the possibility that they (or some or any of them) may not finish by or before 12noon.  If they finish by 12noon, a 2-hour break thereafter allows lawyers to refresh, have lunch and get ready for the 2pm Annual General Meeting.

We regret any inconvenience that this change of time may cause any of our members.

NBA REJECTS USOROS CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT


NBA REJECTS USOROS PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

Dear Colleagues, 

Tomorrow is AGC the Green and Greedy Usoros want constitutional amendment without input from those of us the real owners of NBA. 

Wait a minute, Chief Olanipekun the Father of some SANs including one or two of his biological children with some Fmr NBA Presidents. AB Mahmoud's daughter has LL.M from New York. JB Daudu SAN has at least two learned kids.. Okey Wali SAN has a medical doctor and a lawyer. The Usoros children old as the Usoros are older than some of these NBA Fmr Presidents, the Usoros are in their 60's their daughter and son beautiful children but no known scholarliness.

 These past Presidents with scholarly and learned children, turned in views and memos and Fabian Ajogwu SAN who has not even as much as faced a single election in NBA,  junior to all NBA Fmr Presidents upto 2014 turned it out. 

Dear Fabian Ajogwu SAN  you used to be a man of ethics democracy and deep intellect even when you were not a SAN you great guy now working for impostors to the NBA throne. You must not let the Usoros railroad you into agenda selfishism. Back down now Fabian Ajogwu!. 

We reject your proposed constitutional amendment. 

Yours sincerely, 

Attorney CN Ajie Constitutional and Human Rights Lawyer.  

Copy to Usoros etc.

USOROS PROFESSIONAL SINS: IBA PRESIDENT NOTE!


Monday 26th August 2019

Mr Horacio Bernardes Neto
IBA President
Transmitted By Email

Dear Mr President,
We, RULES WATCH IN DEFENCE OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND GENDER EMPOWERMENT NETWORK (RULES WATCH) with utmost respect Welcome you to Nigeria for the 59th General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association presently under the questionable leadership of Mr Paul Usoro a senior advocate of Nigeria who was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission December 2018 on charges of money laundering and corruption. No little wonder many lawyers shunned the conference. He won’t tell us the number of lawyers registered and income netted in and expenditure. Usoro’s regime lacks transparency. He has too many hidden charges, too many concealed profits.

 Mr Usoro’s election was in August 2018 and he was the NBA presidential candidate of RULES WATCH Chair, Board of Trustees, the undersigned and many are aware  that although I did not rig the NBA election, Mr Usoro and some of his family members manipulated the figures to win the NBA Presidential election in August 2018. Hence Mr Paul Usoro SAN was reported to the Nigerian Crime authorities by the ICT Dept of one of the lead Presidential candidates.  https://lawnigeria.com/2018/08/how-nigerian-bar-association-2018-elections-was-rigged-by-arthur-obi-okafor-san/
The gentleman O. O. Oluwokore Esq who penned and signed the petition to EFCC, mysteriously lost his life a couple of weeks after the EFCC commenced investigations into his petition on electoral fraud. Till present there is a pending law suit filed by Okafor against Usoro challenging the manipulated figures.

By his own admission, Mr Paul Usoro bought gifts for Judges against the admonition of the Justice Sector Reforms Group that Lawyers it is unethical practice and that lawyers must stop giving bribes and buying gifts for Judges particularly Judges before whom lawyers/firms conduct cases being termed as bribery and corruption under the Code of Conduct for Judicial Officers. The Usoros bribed a Judge of the National Industrial Court and also paid money to a former Chief Justice of Nigeria for a family wedding and two of whom have now been compulsorily retired, dismissed or forced to resign their positions. 

The question Lawyers are asking, what is Mr Usoro waiting for before he resigns his position as NBA President?
Sir, the IBA Report on Bullying and Sexual Harassment which you will launch at the NBA  conference speaks to issues you have said are unacceptable and thank you for focusing on Africa and looking forward to your focusing on Mr Usoro and requesting he turns in his letter of resignation, please. 

Note that Mr Usoro’s conduct and tactics are unacceptable by IBA standards. Whilst holding forth as NBA President, wrongly, did not constitute the numerous committees of NBA. Is Mr Usoro waiting to see how many women would accept his trafficking tactics before he would give the other women lawyers opportunity to serve an otherwise noble, learned and honourable profession as even my humble self deeply religious without fear,  the Usoros told me to ‘see’ Mr Usoro ref issues of nomination to serve the NBA and of course I bluntly refused the overtures on religious grounds. He sent his lackeys to insult me for refusing and without shame, rewarded them.
Yours respectfully,
Attorney Carol Ajie

THE VISION SHOWN TO CELIBATE CATHERINE OF SIENA


THE VISION SHOWN TO CELIBATE CATHERINE OF SIENA

Sunday 25th Aug 2019, a Catholic Priest also delivered a Homily in another Parish, morning masses. The Rev Father named Two Saints in efforts to save humankind:

 1) St. Padre Pio he said a Nigerian asked him, the Priest Homiliest that what if the huge gate admits a huge number such that the fireπŸ”₯ in hell quenches. And the Priest said he responded to him in the language of Padre Pio "get there and see"😈. He said it is human to err but Devlish to persist in your error. 

The Homilest also venerated All Saints and cited example:
2) St. Catherine of Siena activist, virgin, she was not a Reverend sister, Celibate who closely associated with the Order of St. Dominic. Our model St. Catherine of Siena also gifted with vision was shown by the Holy Spirit the visions of Heaven and Hell.. She testified to what she saw as follows. A) Heaven you meet God face to face. The corresponding opposite is
Hell. You meet the Dragon the Ancient Serpent the Liar who deceives people of God. Do you want to meet Satan?

B) There is gentle breeze in Heaven and sweet smelling incense and flowers. You don't need AC or NEPA. There is everything good for everyone good right  there. The corresponding opposite
Hell. There is fire πŸ”₯stench. Misery. Pains. Sufferings Weeping, gnashing of teeth. They curse Devil. 

C) While in Heaven the Saints and Angels are singing dancing happy thanking and praising God for Holy lives. In Hell you find regret for those sins that take souls to hell dishonesty, deceits, embezzlement stealing of public funds, moral and financial corruption, money laundering, scamming adultery, fornication, gluttony killing or even plotting asasination and kidnap etc.

The Homilest concluded by enjoining the congregation to live Holy lives pray often and beware of Workers of Iniquity because that is exactly what God calls sinners as stated in the Bible. DEPART FROM ME FOR I KNOW YOU NOT YOU WORKERS OF INIQUITY!

Thank you.

Carol Ajie: WHY DELTA STATE LOST AGF!

Carol Ajie: WHY DELTA STATE LOST AGF!: WHY DELTA STATE LOST AGF! https://refer.ng/p/34136/he-wanted-minister-of-justice-but-the-cabals-thought-otherwi            Dear All...

WHY DELTA STATE LOST AGF!


WHY DELTA STATE LOST AGF!

Dear All, the man who wrote as shown in the above link that Keyamo wanted AGF... Didn't he hear Keyamo say he will serve in any capacity assigned to him?.

Festus Keyamo didn't ask himself questions at screening. DSP Omo-Agege fired the 1st salvo and said as AGF what would be your reforms. Keyamo replied robustly. You all know him he is very intellectually savvy and serves. Omo-Agege also has very intellectuality.  

Having said that Delta State should have set up a think-tank to pre-screen the sole nominee Keyamo before NASS did. To prempt NASS Q&A . Look given Buhari's persona any sign he sees that speaks to regionalism is not approved. And you know one of the major planks of Keyamo's 3Ds  rested on regional supreme  Court. The progressives approve that but Mr President naturally loathe regionalism. 

So the think-Tank would have said questions such as ....made suggestions that would not ruffle APC's key political icons.  Another thing that I think frightened Buhari was when Keyamo said given FK's resounding human rights work that he would reflect that in the office of AGF.

You know PMB's human rights records, his penchant to deal with opposition and critics. Even I gentle as my pen isπŸ€£πŸ˜„  Buhari is still sitting on my fees in the Nigeria Airways pensions case after he approved N45Billion and released N22.5Billion to the claimants before his 2019 election. That case was assigned to me by President Yar Adua's AGF Aondoakaa in 2008-2009 just before I went to Georgetown University Law Centre Washington DC for my LL.M which was successfully completed. President GEJ's AGF Adoke between 2012-2014 would have recommended payment after he called all the lawyers to meetings in the FMJ he was waited for what I don't know when candidates for Sainthood place high value on their personal and professional integrity. Traits the Usoros particularly lack. 

Conclusion:  

Keyamo SAN and H.E DSP Omo-Agege showed their hands in NASS screening  and that scared PMB.

Now another male lawyer has called on Keyamo SAN to resign from PMB's government and face his law practice. It's too soon to resign. Let him accept this, his national assignment until they make it impossible for him to work even as a junior Minister.. 

Question: 
Has AGF Malami the intellectual sagacity to defend Buhari at this time? Standing in front of BBC Aljezera, CNN, NTA etc to defend government legal policies and legal positions? Speaking authoritatively and persuasively like Omo Delta? 

Answer:
Only time will tell.

Thank you.

Yours respectfully, 

Attorney Carol Ajie
