CONCERNING NIN & #NBADECIDES2026

The line about the mandatory use of the National Identity Number, #NIN, to identify lawyers for the #NBADecides2026, is the latest red herring in the campaign by @Egbeamofinoodua to impose a caucused ethno-tribal veto on @NigBarAssoc.

The Olanipekun-Odogiyan Report transforms this into an article of faith.

For their purposes, they claim enrollment numbers assigned by the @SupremeCourtng are "not security numbers." But they disingenuously do not say what a "security number is."

The #OlanipekunOdogiyanReport also doesn't say from where they invent the concept of a "security number".

By their rendering, a BVN would also fail their subjective standard of "Security number". It is a standard known only to the authors of that report.

Those same authors assume that erroneously assume that @NigBarAssoc can administer the process of data on inegration this requires & that it can be done by the end of August 2026. In doing so, they reveal both their age & the age of their ideas.

This is possibly the most lazy and illiterate - I do not want to say dishonest - recommendations of that report.

Interestingly, the authors of the report did not speak to either the @nimc_ng (which administers the NIN) nor the Supreme Court (as the custodian of the Roll of lawyers) in order to inform themselves about the feasibility of their imaginings.

So let's examine this matter a little.

Fewer than 200,000 people in the history of Nigeria have ever been enrolled as lawyers. The number on roll is assigned by the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

Yet, the Olanipekun-Odogiyan report believes that it is a less secure number than the NIN which is available to hundreds of millions of Nigerians & is notoriously porous still.

The @nimc_ng administers the NIN. It does not share that responsibility with anyone & will not outsource it either.

For its elections, the NBA relies on the Roll & records maintained by the Supreme Court.

At the moment, the NIN is not a field in the data held by the Supreme Court on lawyers in Nigeria. So, to include NIN, that will need to change at source through the addition of NIN as afnew data field. That is outside the competence of the NBA.

It is unlikely that the Supreme Court will administer this change as an election matter in order to please Olanipekun, Odogiyan, @Egbeamofinoodua, or - I may add - Lateef Fagbemi.

The implementation of any such measure will require first a decision by the Supreme Court Registry as the custodian of the Roll.

Thereafter there will need to be bureaucratic integration between NIMC & the Supreme Court.

3rd, because many lawyers on Roll had died even before the NIN was, rolled out or thereafter, there will need to be detailed due diligence & not merely in the design of the new data field

4th, all this will need to precede the integration of the data concerning those eligible for NIN in their data on the Roll.

5th, this data integration will require careful vetting. It will take time & cannot be outsourced by the NIMC.

These various steps are what the Olanipekun-Odogiyan report flippantly claims will be achieved at the snap of an imaginary finger.

If I did not know the authors, I could have misled myself into thinking they were script-writers for #TalesByMoonlight. The design is clear: if they do not get their way, they will crash the association.

The @NBAYLFOfficial in Onitsha organised a major Colloquy last Thursday. The theme was Fearless Advocacy in Turbulent Times.

It was a call to conscience for the legal profession to transition from being part of the problem to being part of the solution.

I got tired of getting shouted down for saying this. A verifiable truth. Happy to know we still have fathers. Thank you @ruffydfire

I am not here to popular. I say things as they are. There was no igbo coup. These were narratives peddled by to cause hate.

I have read many accounts of the war

From the Caged bird sang no more, Phillip Effiong’s account of the war to The Nigerian civil by St. Jorre which is one of the most vivid accounts of the war.

The Igbo coup narrative was intended to to peddle hate and which was a sad one.

My brother, @NyadaAuta, has courage in dollops; has integrity; has smarts; & has a heart that cares about people above all. He is running to be the Welfare Secretary of @NigBarAssoc in #NBADecides2024. You can be sure that if u vote for Auta, he'll ensure that #NBACanCare.

Finally! Thank you @Gatwick_Airport. We expected this on the first day of the arrival of one of our most important local airlines @flyairpeace, but better late than never. We look forward to working with you to ensure seamless operations by @flyairpeace from your airport. The Government of Nigeria fully supports our local operators.

Adebayo Ojeyinka arrived Anambra State in 1995 from Osun State at the instance of @officialnyscng for his #NationalService. He excelled in it & was absorbed into the civil service of @Anambrastate_ng. On Monday, @CCSoludo will swear him in as a Permanent Secretary in Awka.

I always say "Twitter people" are not intelligent.

So if someone supports death for her people in the name of partisan politics, her people should give her the honor of speaking to them to avoid being called intolerant?

Intelligent people indeed

[Adaeze Anah @AdaezeAnah]

@kombo_ii @gmail I totally understand. It's such a loss. And to know that the company can help? It doesn't have to be so. @Google please look into this. Please.
