NBA BOWS TO HIGH COURT ABUJA ORDERS!

NBA Truly Great!
Yesterday Friday 30th June 2017, elections scheduled for the offices of Chair and Secretary of  Nigerian Bar Association Abuja Branch didn’t hold as Attorney Ezenwa Anumnu had approached the FCT high court and successfully challenged the resolutions of the Nigerian Bar Association under the leadership of A B Mahmoud  SAN, a former Chair Kano Branch.   The defendant NBA Incorporated Trustees duly served with the originating processes and defendant appointed counsel in the matter.

AB Mahmoud man of integrity make no mistake about it. He was actually a reluctant candidate for the office of the President of NBA 2016, propped up and so now see he is stuck to rich fruits of the office and would appear obdurate.

Bear in mind AB Mahmoud’s campaign cliche – Brave New Bar! He demonstrated compliance on Friday 30-6-2017  NBA 1st Vice President of the Nigerian Bar Association Sir Caleb Dajan, former Chair NBA Jos Branch assigned to conduct the election for NBA Abuja Branch couldn’t proceed due to the order of respect honourable erudite noble Justice Kekemeke herewith attached so NBA 1st Vice President deferred to it. Thank you so much for complying with a clear and unambiguous Court Order.

You would see from the wording of His Lordship’s order  of Justice U.P Kekemeke,  it freezes all resolutions of the National  Executive Committee NEC- NBA under AB Mahmoud SAN.  

However, NBA Lagos premier branch twice rejected the NBA-NEC Resolution because it failed to comply with the Orders of revered Hon. Justice Tsoho J of 30th March 2017 nullifying the NBA Constitution 2015,  certain contender do not want to promote rule of law and kept pushing  until they brought one Mr Ogunleye to buckle and NBA crisis is now uploading to download in our ever so grandiose premier!
Best,

Attorney CN Ajie

ANTI-TORTURE: NIGERIA MENTIONED AS A FRONT ROW COUNTRY OF TORTURE!

Dear Colleagues,
You may not have participated in the IBA-United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights day's event in Kings College London on Monday 26-6-17. Human Rights Champions and Civil Society Leaders like Olisa Agbakoba SAN some say also made millions from AMCON and Admiralty/Maritime with all that he made could not sponsor himself to IBA much more any of its human rights programs. He is saving. Who takes money to heaven?.

The Executive Director of International Bar Association (IBA) Mark Ellis in presenting the overview and introduction mentioned Nigeria - top row of countries who apply Torture; who Torture citizens; who use State and non-State actors to Torture people. But why?

Torture is a tool for Hate.  When a man seeks referendum in the south east and you lock him up for two years in part in solitary cell it is defined as torture and it becomes an international crime by the State. Another man his contemporary made a video recording with his brothers and threatened eviction by October 1, and powerful as DSS, Nigeria police, other security outfits headed by a section, no one could arrest Northern youth. He even had the effrontery to grant Punch newspaper interview lately, and spoke to human rights Lawyer Falana SAN.

Falana nearly missed being a Priest. He failed the seminary. Last week Catholics in West Africa celebrated the centenary birthday of its first Bishop His Eminence Dominic Cardinal Ekandem 1917-2017. In his homily, the Archbishop of Calabar His Grace, Most Rev. Dr Joseph Ekuwem reaffirmed Most Rev. Dr Martin Luther Kings quote that hate is an unnecessary burden. Love your neighbour as yourself. That envy leads to hate and hate leads to destruction.

CONCLUSION: Nigeria integrate Igbos; destruction, extermination or extinct not a good idea.

Thank you

CA

BREAKING...MAZI NNAMDI KANU AND MIDDLE BELT - YOUTUBE

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu slams everyone in his latest youtube
on the occasion of the courtesy call on him by  the
President of Middle Belt Youth. Kanu welcomes Mr Zopman.
They said Benue is part of Biafra may re-tag both as "Benuerians"
What even took me to the page was the link below
of Professor Sagay and assets declaration some group
from SW calling for his prosecution and I was bemused.
Who would dare advocate for Uncle Itse to be jailed what?
He is not a greedy Lawyer he taught us not to be greedy people.
Contentment.  All these his PACAC work is actually borne
out of a clear conscience. I do not rule out possibility of his being
nice to PMB for giving him the job which came with $5million grant
after 2015 presidential election.  Its cos probably GEJ's government
snubbed south south think-tanks. What stopped the government
President GEJ preferred to collaborate with Prof Soyinka than Sagay
President Jonathan never called Prof Sagay to the presidential villa
even once to seek opinion on anything yet GEJ was calling  Prof Sagay's
junior Femi Falana to consult with him on legal issues and so on.
Is Mr Falana more intelligent than Prof Itse Sagay whom the latter
taught law in Ife?. Not even contemporaries. Sagay is renowned
author, former dean faculties of law  Great Ife and UNIBEN
international scholar, a civil rights activist. Warri is a stone throw
from Yenogoa yet Jonathan preferred South West scholars to us.
But that is not why I write, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu's video was post
under comments column in the Prof Sagay's CCB report below.
Kanu slammed Niger Delta Oil and FG that a country or anyone
who relies on oil price to write a budget, can't we industralize
or manufacture anything? He said of Yorubas, unpredictable,
when they want something from you they dobale(kneel)
Owoda. When they see they cannot get money or position from you
they demonize you. He said Hausa-Fulanis are butchers with the
exception of Presidents Shehu Shagari and Yar Adua of blessed
memory. He said anyone who feels good about slitting throats of
human beings, is a barbarian. That Igbos are hardworking & dependable.

I beg your pardon Mazi Nnamdi Kanu Igbos must have their own
negative side too beyond hard work, you should tell us those too.

Thank you
CA

REJOINDER: B.E.I Nwofor Barrister-at-Law Loyal to a Fault

Barka de Sallah Sir,
This text is addressed specifically to a male Lawyer (who shall not be named)
I thought of writing an open letter cos other readers might have similar query.
I think my learned friend wants me to make some clarifications with respect
to the subject line "B.E.I.Nwofor Barrister at Law Loyal to a Fault"
My learned friends talk about reprimand of Mr Nwofor by LPPC
I am in sync with my colleagues. I didn't say Nwofor was loyal to the law to a fault.
I said now "a barrister at law" meaning he can no longer use the suffix SAN
One of the professional methods of addressing a lawyer is "Barrister-at-Law"
So I was actually addressing him by his present robe.
2) What I meant by "loyal to a fault"? That applied to his client
Nwofor was loyal to his client Sheriff to a fault.
His client Modu Sheriff must have pushed him with those frivolous
applications at the court of appeal alleging corruption.
Modu Sheriff is the most desperate politician in Nigeria at this time.

Our Judges are not always right. I give you an example
C N AJIE AND CO had a simple motion.
My junior colleague whom I asked to take the motion had two
matters before two Judges on that day; one was down the cause list and the other
well spaced out. So he was in a position to handle both. Otherwise 2 counsel might have.
He attended the court on the same floor as this other court I refrain from disclosing
the names of the Judges. So he went to the first court (Court A) and left our client to
sit in for the purpose of this write up Court B. After he finished from Court A
he proceeded to court B. The client was sitting waiting for the matter to be called.
The matter wasn't called. At the close of proceedings for the day Lawyer called
his Lordship's attention to the fact that the matter was listed but not called up.
Judge said matter was called when my colleague was in Court A.
 Lawyer turned to the client Judge gave the client permission to say something.
Client said "my lord I have sat in this court room from 8:30am till now, time was 2pm
when the cause list was exhausted and my lord I didn't hear the court registrar
call my case. Judge pulled up the file and read out, the case was called and "struck out"
What? Why? Anyway as Lawyers are not to have ugly confrontation in front of Judges
the Lawyer said alright miLord we will apply for relisting. Judge rose. So C N AJIE & CO brought a motion to re-list; sometimes the Judge doesn't sit and when he does he adjourns on grounds that the defendants are not there or so.  Look the rules say defendants having been served with the motion to relist proof of service in his lordship's file; you cannot compel an unwilling defendant to appear; they filed no counter affidavit or written address or anything.
After 4 adjournments or so. I wrote to the Chief Judge who shall not be named to re-assign it. The CJ sent the letter to the Judge for comments. I won't know what he wrote under comments. However the suit was transferred from  the male Judge and re-assigned to a female Judge. On the first day the case was called up in the court presided over by a female Judge her Lordship granted our application to relist and that z it.
Did the male Judge misconduct? - What is everybody's guess?
Did I accuse Court B of taking bribe? of course not.
Only a chronology of events, well chronicled speaks for itself.

Eid el Fitri: Garba Shehu Gender Bias Messages of PMB

Repent of gender biased messages and mien!
Presidential spokesman Garba Shehu Oxymoron
they start hate speeches and messages of division and
atavistic cleavages and accuse others of their own sins.
We are Brother and Sister Christians. Brother and Sister Muslims
I actually like the name "Amina" to send messages
of pluralism and tolerance. I am essentially a Christian and
I am looking forward to being a Saint Carole
hence I do not monetize and I do not manize (celibacy is healthy)
I don't want my Lord Jesus  to find any sin in me as a Christian
I want to make heaven. God Bless as you should recognize
men and women in your presidential messages next time.
Thank you
CA

DE-LISTING RELIGIOUS STUDIES?

Even with religion studiously studied, Nigeria is sunk in unspeakable immoralities. 
You bet if religious studies is de-listed,  NG would come
closer to  Sodom and Gomorrah in the Deuterocanonical books.
Don’t even think about it.





Nigerian govt. reacts to controversy over alleged
