THE READERS’ PAVILION

TIGERS' ELECTION
The Editor,
I want to congratulate you on the just concluded election. You stuck out your neck for your candidate Dave Ajetomobi and he won. It would have been disastrous if he had lost.
Editor's Note: - Life would go on.

TIGERS' ELECTION
The Editor,
I believe you are a great leader and a kingmaker too. I congratulate you on the success of your man Dave Ajetomobi as the new chair of the Ikeja branch. I think in the next dispensation you should go for one of the vice-chairmen positions and then the year after, the chair, proper.
Editor's Note: - Really?

TIGERS' ELECTION
The Editor,
I saw you lying flat on the table for a photograph with the winners of the last election at the Onyx Plaza. You must publish that photograph O!
Editor's Note: - You won't see that pose. Other happy supporters joined on. They covered me.

TIGERS' ELECTION
The Editor,
I was told you are so passionate about Dave Ajetomobi's victory in this election because your caucus as anointed you to succeed him as chairman in 2010.
Editor's Note: - Big, fat, monstrous lie!

TIGERS' ELECTION
The Editor,
I want to thank you for deploying all your arsenals in the battle to decide who becomes the new chairman of NBA Ikeja branch.
Editor's Note: - I think we had better thank God instead.

TIGERS' ELECTION
The Editor,
Your Squib personality makes magistrates and even judges sit up. You may not know this. When you are around, the message gets passed quickly around that “hush, hush, the Squib is around. 'Olofofo', I bow and tremble!”
Editor's Note: - For a mere gecko, you tremble?

TIGERS' ELECTION
The Editor,
I know the reason why you'll never contest any elections in the NBA - you've abused everybody all round and so nobody will vote for you.
Editor's Note: - Even geckos?

THE READERS’ PAVILION

ALADEJOBI
The Editor,
Just this morning, I saw Jide Aladejobi in court robed. When I challenged him after his appearance in court, he said that the order of disbarment on him by the body of benchers has been set aside. He told me that even though he told you about the new siutation, you refused to publish same in the Squib.
Editor’s Note: - If you are telling the truth, my response is this, “Aladejobi never told me anything.” But by the way we published his story nonetheless. I wonder why the lie.

DEAD SHERIFF
The Editor,
I want you to continue to give us an update about the case of the auxiliary sheriff who was murdered by the LASTMA staff. The man should not just die like that.
Editor’s Note: - We shall.


SQUIB
The Editor,
You are a king-maker in the Ikeja bar, when will you move up yourself?
Editor’s Note: - Where’s up?

DEAD SHERIFF
The Editor,
I know that man, the Judiciary Staff who was killed by LASTMA staff will just die in vain, the government or the judiciary will cover up the case. That’s why the killers have not been apprehended.
Editor’s Note: - Sad, really.

DISQUALIFICATION BLUES
The Editor,
You are one of those who worked hard for my disqualification from the race for the post of Publicity Secretary of the Ikeja bar, you and Dare Akande, but I have no hard feelings towards any one. And I concede that most of your reports about me was fair, except only when you wrongly indicated that my rival Lateef Abdusalam is my senior at the bar. He is actually my junior.
However I have accepted my disqualification in good faith, although I have written a protest letter to the Electoral Committee. If I give you a copy of the letter, will you publish it?
S.O Omodara
Editor’s Note: - Bring it.
