1. Not everyone has family in Abj (wrong generalization).
2. Not everyone can afford the flight you’re casually mentioning.
3. The court book sellers aren’t cheap either(the wig I got for my car from a court vendor cost 35k. How is this cheap for these kids?).
This isn’t fair.
Ctb expenses ke. Abi booksellers in court premises no dey sell cheaper suits, wigs and gowns again? 🤔🤔
Find a family member to stay with for the 2 days
The only major cost i see is flight. Make everybody cut their coat according to their pocket o.
Quick money hack for young lawyers (I do this weekly tbh): run errands for seniors and take appearances for them.
Don’t wait for them to ask you ask them.
Some of my best quick 50k,80k is from erranding😅.
“Hello senior, good evening sir/ma, please do you have any errands…”
Whenever I see police dogs or other law enforcement dogs my first instinct is to want to pet them😂😩.
Officer cutie paws🥹🤭
Can’t count how many times at airports I’ve asked to pet them (and they say no they’re on duty😭🤧).
Very cute Malinois buhbies🥰
@sen_adekunle 🤭🤭😂yes sir
We need better animal rights laws here.
I should be able to take Apollo to EFCC or NDLEA and apply for him to get a job there in their K-9 unit.
He is very intelligent and smart for the job.
A point worth adding, having now seen the full ruling. Four of the five Justices on this panel, Tukur JSC in the lead ruling, and Agim, Saulawa, and Abba Aji JSC in concurrence, dismissed this same application as frivolous, vexatious, and an abuse of process, applied the same N50m costs, and made the identical point about counsel's conduct. They did this entirely in the register the bench is expected to use. Firm, reasoned, unsparing in substance, but without a personal insult to counsel.
That is the real story here. The intemperate language, "uncultured Counsel," "this trash," "not worthy to be called a Legal Practitioner," appears in one concurrence out of five. It was not necessary to reach the same outcome. The other four Justices prove that.
So this is not a case of "the Supreme Court used harsh language." It is a case of one member of an otherwise disciplined panel choosing to depart from how her own colleagues, on the very same facts, in the very same ruling, managed to say no less firmly without saying it personally.
That contrast should worry us more, not less.
Yet, a lot of colleagues cheering this ruling fail to see the crisis staring us in the face.
There is a strict legal procedure for this. If counsel's conduct amounts to professional misconduct, the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC) is the statutory body built to handle it, where he would be given a 'fair hearing'.
What exactly is left for the LPDC to do or determine when the apex court has already declared him unfit to be "called a Legal Practitioner" in the same ruling that dismissed his application?
And practically, if the LPDC were to even sit on this, where does he appeal their final decision? Ordinarily, an appeal from the LPDC goes to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court cannot be the respondent to an appeal against its own prior pronouncement.
Many want to become SAN so badly they are terrified to speak the truth. But how our courts speak, particularly the apex court and the procedural precedents it sets, should concern every one of us.
The moment you are a lawyer, everything will be fighting for your attention

Na you drop family members for all bar aspirants for Abj?😂😭 not even at least say friends (a more plausible option).
Sha maybe he works with census commission and has checked stats to know all the babies being called have family to stay with.
Generalization final boss 😭🤦🏽♀️.
One thing you’ll never find me doing is advising a junior without at least dropping support 2k.
A lot of seniors need to learn to either keep silent if not empathizing with their expenses or support at least one person if you must advise.
Cos wdym “stay with family in Abj”🤦🏽♀️
If you can’t contribute to their call with actual substance don’t become a bother by contributing with unnecessary inapplicable advice. Say na “stay with family”.
You’d think constitutionally every family is obligated to have a member in Abuja 🤣😭🤦🏽♀️
“Sapa bien merci” seniors.
Happy Father’s Day to my father and all other responsible and faithful fathers and husbands world over.
Your sacrifices, love and support are always appreciated and never taken for granted.
Happy Father’s Day to my husband to be as well🤭. Do let’s marry so I’ll make you a dad.
