JIDE ALADEJOBI ESQ.
The Editor,
I am saddened by the fate that befell Jide Aladejobi. To be disbarred after 21 years in practice! But one of our old class-mates said he was not surprised at the development. He said even when Jide was an Assistant Secretary of the Students’ Union of the University of Ife, he had integrity issues to contend with.
Editor’s Note: - Hmmmmh!

JIDE ALADEJOBI ESQ.
The Editor,
So, it has finally happened to Aladejobi? It was bound to happen. There was a case he did against my client where he used ‘jankara’. And, so full of himself, was he.
Editor’s Note: - Well, can one say now?

JIDE ALADEJOBI ESQ.
The Editor,
Why did Aladejobi allow the matter to get to this extent? He should have settled with the old woman and in time too. Oh what a mess.
Editor’s Note: - Quite.

FAIR COMMENT
The Editor,
I am member of the Electoral Committee of the NBA Ikeja branch and must say that your write-up on our committee in your Vol. 8 Number 29 edition of 19th May 2008 is fair and balanced.
Editor’s Note:- Thank you.

SQUIB
The Editor,
I have just come across the Squib and I found the magazine very interesting. When I was reading your vol. 8 number 27 edition (Which way will the Tigers go) I kept giggling to myself, so much so that my office mates wondered at me. You write so well.
Editor’s Note: Thank you. You keep reading, we will keep squibing.

DEPONENT
The Editor,
Please can you tell me the meaning of the word deponent? I went to the magistrate court Yaba to do an affidavit. There I was asked to sign on a portion of the affidavit on top of the word ‘deponent’. I don’t know the meaning of this word and that is why I’m calling you to find out. I came across your number in a law magazine. I checked my dictionary but couldn’t find the word deponent instead.
Editor’s Note: A deponent is the X Y Z author of all the stories contained in an affidavit
