READERS’ PAVILION
SQUIB BASHER
The Editor,
I hope you didn’t mind all the snide remarks of Atilade J. against your person. We know top quality judges in the Lagos State Judiciary and she is not one of them. She said no junior can gain from your chambers, but what can anyone gain from her court? And, she has only played into your hands by her comments which clearly showed she is already prejudiced against you and your client.
Editor’s Note:-We wait and see.

FAKE LAW
The Editor,
I am vindicated! When I came across the so called Fundamental Rights (Enforcement Procedure) Rules 2008, I know it was a fake law. The poor expressions in it gave it away as a fake document.
Editor’s Note: - Quite!

FAKE LAW
The Editor,
You are doing quite well. But for you we won’t know that the 2008 Fundamental Right (Enforcement Procedure Rules) is a fake law.
Editor’s Note:- Thank you.
SQUIB CASE
The Editor,
Please check page 25 of the Punch Newspaper of today. I saw your name as one of those to appear before the Disciplinary Committee of the Body of Benchers. But I had thought that the case was long over and done with
Editor’s Note: - Mark my words, the case is over, really.

22ND SEPTEMBER EDITION

THE READERS’ PAVILION
SQUIB
The Editor,
I have just finished reading all the episodes. I am indeed very impressed. This is a lot of hard work putting all these together. How you guys can keep up with every single event process and even every word uttered beats me. It must have been a very, very tight week and presumably be the reason why some of the favourites are absent. Well done! My brother, may your vision for the future come to pass and may the magazine grow to be as and even surpassing your dreams.

Editor’s Note: My sister, keep reading and we will keep squibbing.

SQUIB
The Editor,
By the way, how far has the authorities gone with your case before the Disciplinary Committee? Has Justice Sotuminu ever appeared to prosecute the case all these years?
Editor’s Note: No.

SQUIB
The Editor,
I salute you the Lord Deming of the Judiciary. Don’t scoff at the idea because one day you’ll end up on the bench.
Editor’s Note: Sorry, can I laugh out loud?

ADEKUNLE OJO
The Editor,
So, Adekunle Ojo is now the 2nd Vice-President of the NBA? Well, after he has ‘eaten’ our money in Ikeja bar as chairman, why won’t he have enough money to campaign for bigger posts in the NBA?
Editor’s Note: Are you sure this snide talk is not from ‘bad belle?’

ADEKUNLE OJO
The Editor,
As the kingmaker, please tell us when Adekunle Ojo will become the president of the NBA? In the next two or three seasons?
Editor’s Note: Whether Ojo will ever be president and when that will be or not be is only known by God, the only and true kingmaker.

ADEKUNLE OJO
The Editor,
Soon Adekunle Ojo will bag the Senior Advocate of Nigeria award, now that he has become the 2nd Vice-President of the NBA.
Editor’s Note: Amen!

EGBE AMOFIN YORUBA
The Editor,
If Chief Bamidele Aiku SAN of Egbe Amofin Yoruba sees you he will kill you, considering the heavy way you descended on his organization in the latest edition of the squib. You are ever labeling the Egbe a tribal irredentist group.
Editor’s Note: We shall all die!

EGBE AMOFIN YORUBA
The Editor,
I do not agree with your description of the Egbe Amofin Yoruba as a Yoruba irredentist group. Where is their irredentism? They supported A. B. Mahmoud against Bayo Ojo San in 2004 NBA Presidential race. They did not even allow the man to address them. When Sotuminu C.J was harassing you, was the NBA not part of her instruments? The secretary of the Bar Dele Adesina SAN who initiated the proceeding is a Yoruba. The President of the bar then, Wole Olanipekun, is a Yoruba. The Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee, Chief Bandele Aiku SAN is a Yoruba. All of them are members of the Egbe Amofin and none of them could prevent you from being dragged before the Disciplinary Committee of the Body of Benchers, when it was clear that there was no real case against you. Yet you yourself you are Yoruba.
The Egbe is only Yoruba friendly to those Yoruba lawyers the ruling clique there likes. They are not for all Yoruba lawyers. So you even glorify them by calling them Yoruba Irredentist group.
Editor’s Note: Since you’ve citied me as an example it illustrate your point, I have no further comment.
