READERS’ PAVILION

WORKERS’ SALARY
The Editor,
I am appealing to you to help us press the authorities, particularly the new Chief Judge to do something about our poor salaries.
Our salaries are simply too poor-what can somebody do with #10,000.00 for a month in this Lagos?
If we are well paid, we (judiciary workers) will not be running after lawyers even judges to ask for one favour or the other.
I remember how greatly embarrassed I was one day when I ran into one of judges at the Island club. Because I had little money on me, I approached him for some assistance. To my shame the judge loudly and airily declared “You Judiciary workers are used to fine bara”.
I felt so humiliated, but the judge’s friends gave me money and made him to give me also.
Editor’s Note: Struggle is the only answer. Dare to struggle, Dare to win

OKUNNU J.
The Editor,
Why did you write in your response to a reader’s complaint about Justice Okunnu, that the complaint is a lie? (Don’t you know that the judge actually is rude and hostile to lawyers?)
Editor’s Note: Honestly, I don’t know.
