Autism is often misunderstood in African families as disrespect, stubbornness, or bad upbringing. Here’s what autism actually is and how to explain it compassionately.

Technology keeps evolving. And it won't stop, never will the innovation dies.
Only the ones, institutions or organizations who fail to embrace the ever-renewing technology will die.
And as a learner of the Law, I am confident the apex court will not die or be left behind.
“A New Era for Justice: Supreme Court Unveils E-Filing and the Nigeria Case Management System”
Every generation is defined by the choices it makes. Some preserve the past. Others shape the future.
Today, the Supreme Court of Nigeria chose the future. Standing with the Honourable Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Kudirat Motonmori Olatokunbo Kekere-Ekun, GCON, my Lords of the Supreme Court, the Chief Registrar, and other stakeholders at the unveiling of the Supreme Court Electronic Filing System and the Nigeria Case Management System, one truth was clear: our apex court has decided to innovate rather than stagnate.
When I received the invitation to this event, I immediately thought about the story of Nokia, a company that once dominated the global technology landscape but gradually faded because it failed to adapt to changing realities. The lesson is timeless that institutions, professions, and individuals that refuse to innovate ultimately become irrelevant. That is why I commended the Supreme Court for taking the lead in deploying technology to improve the administration of justice. If we are serious about building a justice system that is efficient, transparent, and accessible, then our apex court must lead the way. Today, it has done exactly that.
As lawyers, we must also embrace this reality. Technology is no longer an optional tool; it is an essential part of modern legal practice.
We either innovate or we die. This conviction has informed the Nigerian Bar Association’s own digital transformation agenda. We have relaunched the NBA Digital Stamp and Seal and introduced the NBA Digital Signature Studio to make legal practice more efficient, secure, and seamless for our members.
The NBA is fully committed to supporting the successful implementation of the Supreme Court’s E-Filing System. Beyond today’s launch, we will organize awareness and capacity-building programmes across the country to ensure that lawyers are equipped with the knowledge and skills required to embrace this new era of digital justice.
I heartily congratulate the Honourable Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Kudirat Motonmori Olatokunbo Kekere-Ekun, GCON, the Justices of the Supreme Court, the Chief Registrar, and the entire Nigerian judiciary for this bold and visionary milestone. I am confident that the Electronic Filing System and the Nigeria Case Management System will enhance access to justice, improve case management, reduce delays, and align our judicial system with global best practices.
The future of justice is no longer ahead of us, it has arrived. The responsibility before all of us is to embrace it.

@afamosigwe Well noted, sir.
Innovation, which I strongly believe, is no longer a luxury but a necessity.
I am certain the introduction of the e-filing and digital case management is a big step toward a more efficient and transparent justice system.
This is honestly commendable, sir.✊🏽🙇🏽
Some human being are just irritably spontaneous that they can do anything to gain favour from you, or persuade you to help 'em with something, but once they get what they want and it doesn't still meet up with their high expectations, they turn against you
raCzy & selfish humans!
My short take is that the mechanic is presumed liable because the vehicle was in his custody. But his final liability will depend on whether he can prove that the collapse of the fence occurred without negligence on his part.
Every drop of water makes the ocean..
Get started today, what you were meant or intended to do in the first quarter.
You do not need to have it all or figure it out before you get started.
JUST DO IT.✅✊🏽

I find it interesting when some individuals ask me how I become this audacious and confident and where I got this clarity of purpose and depth of reasoning from. Apart from the fact that I am inherently stubborn, brilliant and inquisitive, as far as information seeking is concerned, I had an early start.
My beloved father, Sheikh Maruf Rahma Rahma had shelves full of books, and I went through all of them during my teenage years. At the age of 10, I was already writing articles and speeches; reading them before my colleagues during my secondary school days every Friday of the week.
At the age of 11, I started debating; represented Epitome Academy in several debating and public sneaking competitions. Kudos to Asiwaju Qasim Oke, the Proprietor of the school, for always giving me the motivation and opportunity to exhibit my God's given brilliance back then.
After I gained admission to study law, my beloved father would invite me into conversations with his friends and visitors on history, politics, literature, and public administration. I could remember he bought me all the collections of books written by Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, Obafemi Awolowo and James Hardley Chase during my 200 level days which I read all before graduation. No person dead or alive who had met physically can refer me to as an "Olodo". Alhamdulillah for that. 🙏
A few years later, I discovered I wasn't just reading. I was subconsciously training myself in pattern recognition, activism, and advocacy. I developed an impressive high self-esteem that I could boldly express myself before any crowd and move mountains with my communication skills( speaking and writing).
Whenever I have the opportunity to stand before the crowd or court, I feel energetic and mesmerized, finding speaking and expression of my thoughts easy; I noticed in those moments, I often bring the years of my invisible preparation into a visible moment.
It is not an accident or miracle when you see an individual doing something at an unprecedented level. In that moment, what you have been experiencing is a visible exhibition of a pattern that has been compounding for years. I have always been training for influence and I have subjected myself to the development of my innate of persuasion from a long time.
On the 28th day of June, 2026, I had the opportunity to appear as one of the panelists at the Know Your Rights' Conference organized by the Clinic for Human Rights, Faculty of Law, Obafemi Awolowo University. The fireside chat was themed: "Walk the Talk: Activism and Advocacy in Modern Nigeria".
At the session, whilst discussing extensively on human rights, as a Litigation Attorney who frequently handles fundamental human rights' cases, I also stressed the significance of every Nigerian Youth regardless of background, status, age, gender and profession having a copy of the Nigerian Constitution where the fundamental rights of citizens are expressly stated, read through them & have a thorough understanding of them, follow news on fundamental human rights' cases, have lawyers on speed dial and adopt the usage of apps to verify news and video contents before sharing because of the influence of AI in our contemporary age.
It was an honour having the opportunity of speaking on the platform on contemporary legal issues concerning human rights as well as inspiring young ones in attendance to participate actively in activism and advocacy for positive change. Together, we can make Nigeria bigger, greater and better.

Dear young Nigerian,
Don't fake what can't be sustained.Real success requires effort. Don't be deceived by the fleeting flashiness on high display on social media.Real success is not a one off act.Rather it is rooted in its repetitiveness and sustainability. Go for real success!
Romans 12:12 MSG
Don’t burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame. Be alert servants of the Master, cheerfully expectant. Don’t quit in hard times; pray all the harder. Help needy Christians; be inventive in hospitality.
BOLD JULY: THE MONTH WE CHOOSE A BOLDER FUTURE FOR OUR BAR.
In the days ahead, members of the Nigerian Bar Association will decide the direction of our profession for years to come. It is a moment that calls for careful reflection, bold leadership, and a shared commitment to building a Bar that serves every lawyer with purpose, integrity, and excellence.
As we step into July, may we be united by our belief that our profession can be stronger, more inclusive, and better prepared for the future. The choices we make today will shape the Bar we leave for the next generation.
Welcome to a defining month. Welcome to the month we choose a bolder future for our Bar.

On the 22nd of June, 2026, I submitted a formal letter to @UBAGroup regarding a series of unauthorized debits on my account. The letter has been acknowledged and the 7 working days starts with immediate effect.
In the letter, I explained that between 2nd and 30th March 2026, a total of 94,738.63 (this is an amount above FG minimum wage) was deducted from my account through transactions I neither initiated nor authorized. Throughout this period, my ATM card remained in my physical possession (till today), I did not carry out any online transactions, and, most importantly, I never received any OTP for any of the transactions.
Despite reporting the incident immediately to @UBAGroup , I was informed that the transactions were classified as “online transactions”, but no satisfactory explanation was given as to how they occurred without my authorization or the Bank's OTP verification process.
In my letter, I maintained that these incidents raise serious concerns about UBA’s security systems, its duty of care to customers, and its obligations under the Nigeria Data Protection Act, 2023. I have therefore demanded a comprehensive investigation, a written explanation of how the transactions were processed, the identity of those who authorized them, and an immediate refund of the 94,738.63 deducted from my account.
I have also notified the Bank that failure to respond satisfactorily within seven days would leave me with no option but to commence legal proceedings to recover the unauthorized debits and seek damages for the negligence and distress suffered. If I don’t get a satisfactory response, I will, by God’s grace make sure this matter is litigated in court. UBA has been extorting me but this will be their last attempt.
Banks must be held accountable. It’s not logical that our monies are no longer safe with an institution that promised to protect our funds.
Thank you.
