My 8yr old son said the World Cup is boring.

I asked why?

He said the countries with the fun players have been losing.

I asked, who the fun players are.

Him: Ronaldo, Haaland and Mbappé.😃

[Nigerian Bar Association @NigBarAssoc]

Beyond regulating legal representation by the Nigeria Police, the decision is expected to accelerate the professionalisation of police legal practice, improve legal advice at divisional police formations, and deepen institutional compliance with constitutional safeguards governing arrests, detention, investigations, and other policing activities.

The judgment also represents another significant milestone in the Nigerian Bar Association's use of strategic public interest litigation to advance institutional reforms and strengthen the rule of law. Through the suit, the NBA sought not only to clarify the legal status of police lawyers but also to secure structural reforms aimed at embedding legal oversight and human rights compliance within police operations across the Federation.
The CTC of the judgment will soon be made public.

The Nigerian Bar Association acknowledged the industry of its legal team in the matter, comprising Olukunle O. Edun, SAN, Austin J. Utah, Dr. Lilian Ojimma, Bulus Y. Atsen, fsi (NBA-SPIDEL Litigation Committee's Vice Chair), Olajide Abiodun, Mohammed Danjuma and Vincent Adodo (NBA-SPIDEL Litigation Committee's Secretary).

Fellow Nigerians pay attention!!
Listen carefully to Prof Chidi Odinkalu as he hit the nail on the head in respect to the ongoing State Police matter. We want state police but it should be properly structured in the best interest of the citizens. The National Assembly claimed to be representing the people but issues of national importance such as State Police is not critically debated to ensure that the content is for the interest of the people. Nigerians do not have a copy of what National Assembly has done, no national debate or citizen’s consultations. They don’t just value the citizens at all! They no rate us at all!!

@egi_nupe I've learnt that the fate of a growing person cannot be defined by a single experience.
She's still and can redefine herself in diverse ways.

@mrfestusogun Oh! I see! So you want to use this life to work and use the next to enjoy.

The Biggest Source of Insecurity in Nigeria is the Illegitimacy of Electoral Mandates - Odinkalu

When people discover that their votes don’t count and judges have been bought, they resort to violence.

This sweeping statement under-estimates the docility and greed of Nigerians.
It's easier to stop a man with gun than a man with immunity.

The requisite legal and institutional safeguards must be put in place to mitigate abuse by governors.

It’s Easier To Stop Governors Abusing State Police Than To Police Nigeria From Abuja

The concern that a governor might use state police for political ambition is real. But it’s much easier to address that through detailed legislation than to try to police a country as vast as Nigeria from one central place.

@cchukudebelu Sadly, we don't have the capacity to calculate the total amount of energy generated by solar systems in Nigeria. Data deficit.

@Wizarab10 If a white person tweeted like this, it would be clearly racist. How can it be described when said by a black person? Because it doesn't feel racist. Crazy social dynamics.

@OgbeniAyoola Some can't resist the urge to use Lagos-Abuja trauma to determine how "unserious" other cities and towns are.
Every city has its peculiar ways of doing things, it doesn't make it "not serious".

@SasDantata You didn't see it as a grave security breach, if it were truly a scam?🤔

@RidwanuLlah It's sad when we appreciate people's value by their absence.
@BenHundeyin's individual efficiency concealed a lot of systemic rot in the NPF's operations both as PPRO Lagos and FPRO.
