On 10 July 2026, I was called to the Bar and announced as the Overall Best Student in the 2025 Nigerian Bar Final Examinations. It was humbling to receive 12 academic prizes donated by some of the finest minds the Nigerian legal profession has produced.
Fatiha of 100-Level who watched her seniors signing out years ago under the law resort, finished her undergraduate exams today.
Alhamdulilah Robil Alamin. 🥹🤲🏽
The Nigerian Bar Association is set to elect its next President. Thousands of lawyers. Three candidates.
I sat across from them and asked the questions the Bar needs answers to.
Over to you.

Guess who made a video about making a First Class since October 2025 and actually made the grade? Meeee!!!! Argh!!! Feels surreal.
ALHAMDULILLAH!!!
God did!!! 🥹❤️
My name is Zainab. I’m 27 years old. An SS.
That is, I live with sickle cell disease.
My parents are both AS.
Oh, they They knew.
They were told.
They still married.
They said God approved it. They said love would be enough. They said faith would cover the consequences.
I am the consequence.
I was diagnosed before I was two. My childhood memories are not playgrounds or cartoons,they are; hospitals, needles, and adults whispering when they thought I couldn’t hear.
In primary school, I missed classes so often that teachers stopped asking why. Some classmates thought I was pretending. Some thought I was cursed. I learned early how to smile while feeling different.
By secondary school, the pain episodes became more frequent. I would wake up excited for school and end the day on a hospital bed. I watched my mates grow normally while my life moved in pauses, school, hospital, recovery, repeat.
At 15, I lost my younger brother to sickle cell.
We were both SS.
That day changed me forever.
My parents broke down in front of me — crying, apologizing, saying “We followed faith. We didn’t think…”
But the damage had already been done.
Sometimes I forgive them.
Sometimes I resent them deeply.
Both feelings live in me.
In university, I tried to be normal. I joined sickle cell advocacy groups, volunteered with awareness organizations, spoke at events, encouraged parents to test their genotype. People call me strong. They call me a warrior.
What they don’t see is me crying alone at night after another silent pain episode.
They don’t see the fear that comes with planning a future in a body that doesn’t always cooperate.
And Relationships?
That’s another wound.
I’ve been loved… briefly.
The moment conversations turn serious about marriage, children, commitment….they leave. Some are honest. Some ghost me. Some promise forever and disappear quietly.
One man once said he would do anything for me. He talked about taking me abroad, better care, a life without fear. I believed him. For the first time, my heart rested.
Then one day, he stopped calling.
That heartbreak triggered one of the worst crises I’ve had as an adult. Not because of physical stress but because hope collapsed.
Now I’m older. The pain episodes come differently. Less dramatic, but more exhausting. My body recovers slower. My fears are heavier. I ask myself questions my parents never asked each other.
I am strong, yes.
But I am tired.
If you are AS and the person you love is AS, please love your unborn children enough to stop and think. Faith is not a license to ignore knowledge. I am a proof to that
I didn’t ask to be a lesson.
But if my life can prevent another child from being born into avoidable pain, then my voice matters.
That’s why I’m writing this to you. Because people listens to you and this story needs to be heard. I hope that your audience share this till it reaches those who are about to walk by faith and not by sight, Sickle Cell is real!.
Adeyinka, keep rescuing lives, I love how you raise awareness and say the truth unapologetically, those who do not like you are probably those who wish they could be you. Have you met you?. Oh,I see you Queen Ade💪🏻

The Bethlehem manger wasn't random; it was prophetic.
A lot of folks don't realize that when the Bible talks about Jesus being laid in a manger, the Greek word for it is "phatne," which just means a feeding trough. In Bethlehem back then, these were often carved from stone.
What's really striking about this is the shepherds around there. They raised lambs specifically for Temple sacrifices. Right after birth, they'd check each lamb for any flaws and put the perfect ones in a manger to keep them safe from getting hurt, since only spotless lambs could be used in offerings to God.
So here comes the Lamb of God himself, placed in the exact spot where those sacrificial lambs were protected.
And who do the angels tell about his birth? Not rulers or religious leaders, but these shepherds, guys who knew all about sacrifice, blood, purity, and flawless lambs.
When the angels said, "You'll find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger" (Luke 2:12), it clicked for them right away.
This wasn't some ordinary child. He was the ultimate Lamb, the one who'd remove the world's sin. From day one, Jesus was set apart for sacrifice, not by people, but by God.
"Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world." (John 1:29)
*Jesus is the reason for the season.
Merry Christmas!

Let me explain to you what these barbaric savages did in Benue state. For those who haven’t seen the video (maybe because it was too traumatic for you).
Let me break it down for you:
According to eyewitnesses;
Around 10:45pm on Friday night,
A group of terrorist animalistic vermins invaded Yelewata village. They divided themselves into two groups:
One group went to the police station and engaged the police in a fire exchange. The aim of this group is to keep the police engaged so the police won’t go into the village to protect the people.
The other group now marched into the village and started going from house to house with petrol and weapons. They sliced and matcheted people then doused them with petrol and burnt them to ashes. They this to almost a 100 houses and killed over 200 people in this manner. This was done for 3hours from 11pm to 2am. The only reason the massacre was not far worse and did not go on for longer was the brave youths in the village who repelled and resisted these barbaric inhuman animals.
Children. Women. Men. Grandmothers.
Attacked in their sleep. Sliced like animals. Burnt to unrecognisable ashes. It was a brutal carnage and a violent bloodbath.
This is what happened to the Benue people. And for 48 hours, the unfortunate incompetent nincompoop president of Nigeria said absolutely nothing until there was collective national outrage online led largely by many of us here.
The Pope spoke before that fool in Aso Rock said anything. A lawmaker in the USA tweeted about the matter before Tinubu said anything. VDM flew to Benue and till now, Tinubu has not yet visited.
What kind of country with a heartless brainless soulless president is this? And when he finally speaks on the matter, he tells the governor to organise “dialogue and reconciliation”????
Dialogue and reconciliation with who?
How do you reconcile with faceless terrorist landgrabbers and godless verminous savages who invade your land at night slicin your throat in your sleep and burning you to crumbling ashes? How do you reconcile with that?
If you have no idea what happened in Benue state, this is actually the story of it as narrated by eye witnesses in the video.
I have no words but tears for Benue.
Please 🙏🏿 I beg you all let us lend our voice for Benue. Let us all speak up for them.
The media is corrupt and compromised.
The politicians are nonchalant and simply don’t care. The religious elite are not bothered as long as it doesn’t affect their tithes. That useless shameless organisation called CAN (of worms) has said absolutely nothing since yesterday. My point in all of this is that Benue has nobody to speak for them or fight for them apart from us.
If we don’t speak, that state will be wiped out. I beg you all again please 🙏🏿 let us lend our voice for Benue. Let us all speak up for them.
Today it is Benue. Tomorrow it may be you.
Please share this tweet everywhere. Use the hashtag. Create awareness. Please 🙏🏿

This lady lost all her 5 children and she also lost her mother at the recent Yelwata Massacre in Benue State.
The pain is deep and piercing.
How do you console someone like this?
How do you tell her to “reconcile” with those who wiped out her family?
😢
