Now that
ECNBA has given candidates 48 hours to produce their manifestos and email by
deadline 6pm Monday 6th July
This means
candidates who are now in NBA race blank on vision and mission would have no
choice but to gather a few juniors in some firm with zero law practice
experience to start writing one.
I have been
asked by someone who shall not be named on WhatsApp text with respect to the
office of NBA GS he was critiquing candidates and he said Joyce Oduah may not
have the capacity for GS but that she is a Church lady Anglican. He
opined that some NBA candidates are irreligious.
I said to
Joyce Oduah what are your visions for NBA Secretariat 2020. She said she is
waiting for the official knod for candidates to write and email their
manifestos.
From the day
you decide to run for office you must have some ideas how you intend to run the
offices of President and GS if elected.
NBA
should not approve APC PDP types looting of NBA Treasury. Although he
took AOO's mandate in 2018, in the conference year 2019, Mr Usoro had collected
hundreds and hundreds of millions of naira from lawyers hard earned resources
and other sources such as State Govt etc under TCCP 2019 and couldn't make a
simple provision for tea/coffee or even bottled water for all
registrants.
Also
colleagues had to trek long distances from the conference venue in Eko
Suites V/Island to lunch venue and when they got there they had to wash the
dishes before they were served some poor plated lunch and then trekked back.
Irresponsible bar leadership.
Kindly NBA
presidential candidates the office to be held to serve members and not for the
title. How you intend to serve NBA members as a servant leader is key. Everyone
ought to address issues of appropriate remuneration for all legal
practitioners. Not only juniors cos the juniors are paid from what you seniors
earn. Emphasize the Remuneration of Lawyers generally. President Trump
cut tax across board you know.
NB The Legal
Practitioners Remuneration Order 1991 some may not be aware of but it exists
and NBA has yet taken a step to implement it. Clannish Usoros not
what you emulate. Doctrinaire Selfishism took more than twenty clans
should. Post August 2020 EFCC has to interrogate that cheque practice of
cutting out both Treasurer and GS.
COVID 19
stopped them from taking more in 2020 AGC hence they plot to install a
President and a GS they will be collecting and passing filthy 'tax' to the
clannish neophytes.
If you are
elected President or GS do not support looting of NBA. Please
2) NBA Stamp
and Seal the LP Rules didn't say you must change stamp and seal every year.
Imposing expiry dates on NBA stamps and seal creates avenue for fleecing poor
members. As a notary public you don't change your stamp every year. Do
you? The NBA ought to issue stamp and seal without imposing expiry dates on it
under the lame excuse that if you are disbarred you won't be able to use it in
subsequent years.
NBA Looters
should be disbarred. Usoros corrupt and incompetent regime has not issued
stamp and seal months after collecting the fees from colleagues.
The
presidential candidates should seek to elevate these common problems and do not
hold NBA office as proxy for the three Grreedy neophytes Alegeh and the Usoros.
GS
candidate:
Someone
wrote and posted on Facebook lately that Oduah at NEC meeting Abuja March 2020
informally told members she is prepared to kneel down to every NEC member to
make her GS. That is Desperate. The infradig of kneeling to your contemporaries
and colleagues. Where is your dignity as a lawyer? When Prince Olateru-Olagbegi
and I conceded assistant Secretary NBA Lagos Branch to you in 2000 we didn't
ask you to kneel or jump. We treated you with dignity and respect for
human rights even though you were a stranger to NBA and you had just come want
office office office any office available? Asst Secretary Social Secretary? PR?
Treasurer post. GS post. Grabby Desperado.
CV profile
2020 as published by Oduah has yet disclosed the name of any University
that Oduah purportedly attended. Called to bar in 1991 had seen a few who
gained admission into Law School on the basis of some obscure law degree.
Ask them to
write their manifesto they will frown.

Dame Carol
