VOL.10 NO. 2

READERS’ PAVILION
SQUIB
The Editor,
Why did you increase the cover price of the Squib to #500.00. That’s too much for us o. Although I could see you have quite a lot of photographs in there.
Editor’s Note: The #500.00 price is for this bumper edition (Vol 10 No 1) only.

SQUIB
The Editor,
I have bought the Squib but I have not read it. Let me tell you how I enjoy my Squib-I read it in a relaxed atmosphere in the company of cold beer.
Editor’s note: Wow!

NEW LEGAL YEAR
The Editor,
I think you just have to write about the New Legal Year Ceremony of yesterday (Monday 28 September 2009) It was simply wonderful colourful and fantastic. What a show and even members of the public wondered what celebrations we were at while it lasted. There was plenty to it, even at 4.00pm. I still got a hot plate of amala and ewedu. One could see difference between this new administration and its predecessor, Alabi (C.J).
You know unlike those other Chief Judges who just “chop” allocations, this mama (Akande C.J) just ordered that the allocation for the New Legal Year Ceremony be fully and well spent.
Look at those tents, the decorations especially the marque set up for judges and Senior Advocates of Nigeria. This is a good beginning.
Editor’s Note: And may it continue to the end.

GANI
The Editor,
When gain dead and people were lamenting, I told them (our colleagues) not to despair, that there is another Gani in our midst in your person. They however doubted whether you could rise to that level but I assured them that in time you will be like that why I didn’t consider my own very self to become a Gani, was because I know that I don’t have the courage of people like you to fight against wrongs in the country.
Editor’s Note: Just let my wife catch you!

OKUNNU J.
The Editor,
By God it is high time something was done about Justice Okunnu. Oh what a maddeningly rude judge? She can be so discourteous and nasty to counsel. Imagine a judge shouting on counsel to shut up! Sit down! Etc. I think the NBA should take up this matter with the Chief Judge, so that this embarrassment can stop.
Only about two weeks ago, she so upset a lawyer with her rudeness that the counsel was prepared to even beat her up in court.
Yes I agree she is an industrious and quite organised a judge. You have to say that of her but her terrible temperament and comportment is such a huge munus.
Editor’s Note: It’s a lie! Are we talking of the one and same Justice Okuunu here, the child of Alhaji Femi Okunnu S.A.N and Alhaja Sinatu Ojikutu, former Deputy Governor? Well, trust us to investigate.
