In this NBA election, i stand with @OmoyemiAkangbe
I look forward to him bringing back the attention and support given to young lawyers during Olumide Akpata’s tenure. He has started already, and I trust him to do more.
Someone finally said it.
NWLR is now coming through for young lawyers and has made their work easier courtesy of @OmoyemiAkangbe for that singular act, HE HAS MY VOTE
I'll keep my thing brief.
While some aspirants cut off, kept mute and/or supported the cutting off of young lawyers from Legal Repositories such as NWLR, LAW PAVILION etc, LATEEF O. AKANGBE paid NWLR millions to reconnect lawyers.
For this singular act, he has my vote.
One of our colleagues was in the Supreme Court when this application was moved. According to him, the application particularly attacked one of the JSCs who heard the appeal. At the hearing, the Justices tried to discourage the Counsel from moving the application, pointing out that it would have severe consequences for him if he did so. Yet, he was adamant that he would do so and face any consequences. He told a group of lawyers after the hearing that he was a lecturer and believed he had to vindicate what he had taught his students by being an example to them, even if he was to be sanctioned for it.
Surprisingly, he brought the application before the same panel that decided the substantive appeal, and it was the first thing the presiding Justice asked him.
He claimed it was his client who stated the facts in the affidavit but the court was quick to remind him that he filed the application and had a duty to caution his client. He refused to take the court’s hint to withdraw the application.

This serves as a reminder that when lawyers allow clients to dictate the course of litigation or disregard sound legal advice, the consequences can be costly.
List of people you should never have any sexual affair with, male or female.
Note: this is for educational purposes and will be strictly be based on the provisions of the Nigerian Law
1. A minor (Under 18 Years): A child cannot legally consent to sex. Sexual intercourse with a child is an offence, and consent or mistake as to age is not a defence.
2.) A Person Incapacitated by Alcohol or Drugs: Consent must be free, voluntary, and informed. A person who is heavily intoxicated or otherwise incapable of making a rational decision cannot give valid consent
3.) A Person of Unsound Mind or Severe Mental Disability: The law treats sexual intercourse with a person of unsound mind as non-consensual, even where apparent consent is given.
