I AM NOT A P9 MEMBER
The Editor,
Why should you list me as a member of the PHILADELPHIA 9? I was never a member of that group and I did not attend any conference in the United States. Although it is true I travelled outside the country, but it was not to the United States.
I want you to correct any impression your story might have created that I was one of those magistrates who were sponsored by the Ministry of Establishment to a Conference in the U. S and who travelled there without clearance from the Chief Judge or that I collected money for the conference and went elsewhere.
It is important you do this because I am careful about my steps in the judiciary. I don’t want any troubles.
Chief Magistrate Ayo Odugbesan

Editor’s Note:- We are sorry if our story upset you. We however wish to say that only a mischief maker can, after reading our story {Vol. 8 No. 11 3 Dec. 2007} conclude you belong to the PHILADELPHIA 9

SQUIB
The Editor,
I want you to put in the Squib Magazine of next week that you came late to court today. Make sure you put it there, that you came late to court for your case. I don’t read your magazine but I will read the one for next week.
Honourable Justice Omolara Adebisi Kayode-Ogunmekan
Editor’s Note:- As the court pleases.


SQUIB
The Editor,
As much as I love your story on how {Barrister} Bisi Ade-Ademuwagun wrongly used a FHR action to detain another lawyer and seek for possession of land, I think your chambers should not have handled the case for Bisi’s victims.
This is because such a story would need following-up. But you can’t do that as you’ve become a counsel in the matter.
Editor’s Note:- You have a point there. However, unorthodox customers deserve unorthodox patrons

SQUIB
The Editor,
Let me thank you specially for the good works of your Magazine in the Lagos Judiciary. Several weeks before your publication came out on the issue of non-reassignment of cases, I made endless trips to the Registry to ask after my cases.
I made no head-way. But within a week of your publication on the matter, the judiciary has assigned eleven of my cases.
When the trouble of my clients became too much when their cases were not re-assigned, I sent them copies of the Squib where your open letter on the matter to the Lagos State House of Assembly was published.
It served to cool them down and made them to understand the predicament we all faced from the present administration. Thank you.
Editor’s Note:- Better thank God!

BISI -ADE-ADEMUWAGUN
The Editor,
After reading your story on Bisi-Ademuwagun. I now ask you, “How did he ever become the chairman of your branch {Ikeja?}
Editor’s Note:- Hope you are not passing insults on the Tigers?
