Breeze, killed Taz over Kanan.
Kanan killed Shawn over Tarip.
Patterns exists.

[AJ @AJ_the_first]

Kanan and Tariq both have this Stockholm syndrome where they blame their parents for everything, and embrace the actual villains in their lives.

No wonder Kanan enabled Tariq, he saw himself in him.

My brother,

I think your response conflates two entirely different issues which is freedom of expression and whether VDM should enjoy the right to be elevated by an institution expected to promote the rule of law.

Even the dictum you referenced hinges on the protection of ideas, not the legitimization of defamation, cyberbullying, or extra‑legal vigilantism. Robin Hood did good acts; Ogogo in Owo Blow did good acts. Their good deeds never sanitized the illegality of their methods. Commending isolated actions is one thing; advertising and celebrating the symbol of disorder on a platform meant for custodians of order is another entirely.

Lawyers are not just practitioners of the law; we are symbols of professionalism, decorum, of restraint, of discipline. That is the distinction between the Bar and bodies like the NURTW. We represent order, not bully, not disorderliness. A lawyer signifies obedience to the law. Our conference cannot be the stage where disorder is elevated and decorated.

What the NBA should be interrogating is not VDM’s rise or popularity, but the institutional failures that allowed such a figure to become the common man’s last resort. If NAFDAC functioned effectively, would VDM’s cream exposé have been necessary? If the prison system were not porous, would his Bobrisky revelations have gained traction? VDM thrives because our institutions are weak. The NBA’s duty is to examine those weaknesses not to glorify the symptom of the decay.

My comparison with the withdrawal of the ethics prize is also apt. Do you think a society that regulates and disciplines its members should not regulate the calibre of people it invites to a gathering of the members it regulates and disciplines?

Lawyers are not symbols of rebellion. Lawyers are symbols of ORDER. The legal profession exists precisely because society rejects anarchy as a means of achieving justice. We are trained to channel grievances through lawful institutions, lawful procedures, lawful remedies and lawful processes. That is the foundation upon which civilisation itself rests.

Rebellion may occasionally expose injustice, but it never builds institutions. Law does. There is a difference between advocacy and trial by social media. The issue therefore is not whether VDM has done some good. Undoubtedly, he has. The issue is whether the methods by which he often pursues those goals reflect the values the legal profession is expected to uphold. The more important question is why he became necessary. How did we get to a point where public outrage became more trusted than due process?

THOSE ARE THE QUESTIONS the NBA ought to interrogate.

VDM may be more visible than the average lawyer. That does not mean he has contributed more to society than the legal profession. Nigerian lawyers quietly carry our probono services, defend the vulnerable, secure the release of unlawfully detained persons, challenge governmental excesses, defend constitutional freedoms and preserve the rule of law. Much of this work attracts no cameras, no viral videos and no public applause.

The legal profession's contribution is measured not by followers or engagement statistics, but by the stability of the legal order it sustains.

NBA is obligated, to ask whether a person whose public influence is often built on methods that sidestep due process is the APPROPRIATE FACE of a profession founded upon DUE PROCESS and REGARD FOR RULE OF LAW.

Not every popular figure is an appropriate speaker for every platform.

The legal profession must be careful not to confuse visibility with suitability, popularity with expertise, or public validation with professional merit.

If lawyers cease to defend those distinctions, then we have forgotten what makes us lawyers in the first place.
