[Country Lawyer @LegalZeeee]

Today, I get called to the Nigerian Bar as a Barrister and Solicitor of the supreme court of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Let's disturb the legal profession!✌️

[Country Lawyer @LegalZeeee]

After nine years, I'm finally going to be a lawyer. I passed the bar exams 🥳🥳🥳

[BIG BEN ESQ @benmallum]

I am now a lawyer !
Thank you Jesus🙌

[Fabian Sani Esq @FabianSani8]

Spending four years in a Nigerian university fighting for a certificate that will land you a ₦80k internship, while a guy who spent 6 months learning high-end video editing or UI/UX is clearing $3,000 monthly from his bedroom, proves our education system is just a glorified daycare.

[Country Lawyer @LegalZeeee]

The learned silk Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe is winning doubters and fence sitters over with each video or statement he makes. I’ve never seen something like this before😂

[ESQUIRE WEY DEY FIRE 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 @Eneegmanuelllll]

Yes, I am. A successful lawyer at that.

Now, who are you and who's your father?

[Country Lawyer @LegalZeeee]

Why are you attending events and eating food for candidates you know you won’t be voting for NBA elections?😂

[Najib Adamu Usman, Esq. @NajeebAdamu1]

My work today is easy. Any LOA tweet, I like and retweet!

[Emir Sirdam @EmirSirdam]

I DISAGREE.
In today’s world, Win Everything and Say Shit or you end up being compared to people who say Shit and won less.

[Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe, SAN @OmoyemiAkangbe]

All my promises are achievable and they will be delivered. This is my pact with Nigerian Lawyers.

[Olalowo Tomiwa @OlalowoTomiwa]

The good thing is that he took over with a well detailed manifesto and agenda.

[Country Lawyer @LegalZeeee]

Well this time, it’s purely lawyers who are chanting his praises on twitter, not interlopers. Who will win, que sera sera!

[Foundational Nupe Lawyer @egi_nupe]

Someone did in 2023 and still came 3rd 😎

[ESQUIRE WEY DEY FIRE 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 @Eneegmanuelllll]

Hmmmmm......

Interesting points. Very interesting

[Country Lawyer @LegalZeeee]

Guy Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe has taken over the Nigerian legal twitter. The LOA wave is all I see. It’s crazy and I love it!!!

[Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe, SAN @OmoyemiAkangbe]

Your dues are in one place. Your CPD is somewhere else. Your practice licence is on a third platform. Your directory profile is on a fourth.

To get a letter of good standing, you visit two portals and wait three days. For a document that should take five minutes.

The NBA already has all the pieces. An app. A portal. An ICLE platform. A stamp and seal ecosystem. A Find a Lawyer directory.

None of them talk to each other.

NBA One changes that. One login. One dashboard. Every NBA service in one place, tied to your Supreme Court Number. Delivered in 18 months.

This is what a modern Bar looks like.

Saturday 18 July 2026. Vote LOA.

@Anyanwuesq One of your SRC people that I won’t be mentioning his name publicly

[Country Lawyer @LegalZeeee]

Immediately after law school, one of my friends who was an SRC official started being on my neck to join him and campaign for his candidate for NBA presidency. According to him, he knows the weight I can pull😂. I refused because it would have been against my conscience.

[Muhammad Sani Garba @____msg]

Addressing the issues!

If I must say, I wish to state it as it is in the following words:

I have not met one single colleague who intends to vote for LOA who is not an issue-concerned individual or a principled person.

LOA, what have you done to us?

LOA, what a man!

[Ridwan Oke @RidwanuLlah]

Identifying Issues, innovative Ideas, tangible Solutions, Lawyers’ Welfare, that’s what LOA gives you. Vote Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe as NBA President.

[Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe, SAN @OmoyemiAkangbe]

As the Nigerian Bar Association's Presidential election approaches, I have made my position clear: the NBA does not have an idea problem. It has an implementation problem.

The issue with the NBA has never been a lack of ideas but a lack of will to implement them. I offer that will and, unlike most candidates, I can point to what I have already delivered when given a mandate.

As Chairman of the NBA Lagos Branch from 2019 to 2021, I convened the Remuneration Committee whose recommendations were adopted nationally and became the 2023 Legal Practitioners Remuneration Order, now subsidiary legislation under the Legal Practitioners Act. My administration also raised approximately ₦15 million in COVID-19 welfare palliatives for members, secured a health insurance partnership with Hygeia for branch members, and covered 50 per cent of CIArb certification fees for 100 lawyers.

My manifesto, ‘Elevate the Bar: A Modern NBA That Works for Every Lawyer’, is built on practical, implementable reforms. It proposes NBA One, a unified digital platform that brings every fragmented NBA service together, and an e-Remuneration Platform to make the existing Remuneration Order enforceable in the daily workflow of every practising lawyer.

This election is about more than promises. It is about proven capacity, credible leadership, and the will to deliver.

Lawyers in public service, lawyers working inhouse, lawyers in private practice, Young lawyers, lawyers working in every tiers of law firms, elderly, young, male or female, we are all lawyers after all and most importantly, we are all members of the NBA. The challenges facing each of these sectors must be addressed and the NBA must work for us all.

Thank you for the acknowledgment @ooolutosin

[Lateef Omoyemi Akangbe, SAN @OmoyemiAkangbe]

Yesterday, I visited the Lagos State Ministry of Justice and spoke directly with staff and lawyers there.

Government lawyers are full, fee-paying members of this Association. They show up to court. They draft legislation. They advise the state. They do the work. And yet the NBA Constitution prevents most of them from holding elective office in their own Association.

The Red Stamp policy treats them differently from colleagues in private practice with no justification. Grade Level 12 as a Federal Civil Service entry point for lawyers remains undelivered. A pension framework for those who have given decades to public service barely exists.
These are not afterthoughts in my manifesto.

They are commitments with specific delivery mechanisms, elimination of the Red Stamp policy, removal of barriers to elective office, a dedicated Section for Government Legal Advisers, Grade Level 12 advocacy, and a pension framework built in partnership with relevant authorities.

To every colleague at the Ministry of Justice who gave time to that conversation yesterday, your questions were among the sharpest I have faced on this campaign. That tells me the issues are real and the stakes are understood.

Saturday 18 July 2026. Your vote matters.

Vote LOA. Elevate the Bar.
