VOL.13 NO.3


THE READER’S PAVILION

FAKE LAWYER

The Editor,

When you published the story of the fake lady lawyer who became the Treasurer of NBA Ibadan Branch, I witnessed how an Ibadan lawyer, a lady literally cursed you for doing the story, she was so bitter. According to her you are an “Oloriburuku” (an accursed, ill-fortuned person) who is interested in destroying the fake lawyer further. Happily there was this other lawyer, a male, who expressed his support for the publication saying such exposure of quacks in the legal profession can only be for the good of the profession.

According to your critic, you in publishing the story, forgot that God forgives sinners and gives them second chances to make amends.

Editor’s Note: Well, since I am a gecko and not an “Oloriburuku” I feel rather amused. God bless my critic.

GATEWAY TO WHAT?

The Editor,

Gateway to what? Nice write- up (Learned Squib article Vol. 13 No.2) isn’t it a shame that with all the perks, emoluments, cars and what have you, most of our judges fail to perform? What is performance? Simple, sit at 9.00 am on the dot and do the work you are paid to do. Stop waffling on the Bench and please stop making excuses about pending ruling and NJC returns, it comes with the job and you applied for it. Once again thank you for saying it like it is.

Editor’s Note-: May the Lord bless our words in their ears!

GATEWAY TO WHAT?

The Editor,

Oga mi, Gateway To What? It’s another master-piece from you I really enjoyed the article. Imagine some of your coinages:

“State Counselship” “Rat na Rat”

Silk banza, LWKMD

However the issue of all these goodies in contradistinction to the quantum of indolence and levity across the Lagos State Judiciary firmament is an irony of epic proportions

Editor’s Note-: Quite!

GATEWAY TO WHAT?

The Editor,

I took a copy of that edition of Squib which featured the story of the fake lady lawyer on the cover to Ado Ekiti. A person read the story and was so moved by your Learned Squib article on Justice Gbaja-biamila that the person asked me to contact you so that he or she could make a voluntary donation to your magazine. The person wishes to be anonymous.

Editor’s Note-: We appreciate the kind offer but we will accept it only on the condition that the anonymous donor would not one day send you to ask us to moderate our views or stop a particular enquiry or publication.
