Overnight, Nigeria and the United States recorded a significant example of effective collaboration in the fight against terrorism.

Our determined Nigerian Armed Forces, working closely with the Armed Forces of the United States, conducted a daring joint operation that dealt a heavy blow to the ranks of the Islamic State.

Early assessments confirm the elimination of the wanted IS senior leader, Abu-Bilal Al-Manuki, also known as Abu-Mainok, along with several of his lieutenants, during a strike on his compound in the Lake Chad Basin

Nigeria appreciates this partnership with the United States in advancing our shared security objectives. I extend my sincere gratitude to President Trump for his leadership and unwavering support in this effort.

I commend the personnel involved on both sides for their professionalism and courage, and I look forward to more decisive strikes against all terrorist enclaves across the nation.

All I have to say is, Never miss Revision classes In any campus you find yourself. I might not remember but during the class I don't think the emphasis on how to claim against two and several defendant was discussed but May Almighty God bless Mr Ajah of Lagos campus and Mr Ugu. Their revision class on criminal litigation and civil litigation was top notch.

I'm forever grateful 🙏. Law school opened my eyes to the fact that no one is dull, just the right teachers, mentors and putting in the effort.

[princetechguy©️ @princetech12670]

Something happened at the Bar Finals in Civil Litigation. We were asked to draft pleadings in a scenario involving multiple defendants.

When there are multiple defendants, you must claim against them jointly and severally.

Not using that phrase is a wrong move.

Always grateful to our lecturer, Mr. Ajah, who pointed this out during revision classes.

Beautiful concept really!

Did the same thing for ABUJA Law Firms, and I categorised them based on location for easy reference for anyone searching for firms in a particular area in Abuja.

here's the link to the doc: https://t.co/U0WdPpmThc

For best use, upload to CLAUDE, not ChatGpt, (Chatgpt hallucinates too much), then prompt it to search against all available information on the internet for any vacancies and also source for the email addresses of all firms.

Godspeed 🫡

To whom it may concern as copied from Taiwo Aromolarn on LinkedIn.

Young lawyers, if you walk into court with these 7 authorities, no objection will take you off guard:

1. Atanda & Ors v. Ajani & Ors (1989)

When to use this:

Opposing counsel tries to introduce evidence or elicit testimony on facts not pleaded in the statement of claim or defence.

Your response:

“My Lord, this evidence goes to no issue. The facts it seeks to establish were never pleaded. We urge the court to discountenance it as it is inadmissible.”

2. Section 1(1) of the Evidence Act

Torti v. Ukpabi (1984), citing Kuruma v. The Queen (1955)

When to use this:

Opposing counsel objects to your evidence on the grounds of how it was obtained e.g., arguing it was improperly or illegally obtained.

You respond:

“My Lord, relevance is the basis of admissibility. Once the evidence is relevant to the matters in issue, it is admissible.

How it was obtained is of no moment at this stage.”

3. Ndu v. State (1990); FRN v. Saraki

When to use this: Opposing counsel discloses information not contained in his pleadings or affidavit from the Bar.

Your response: “My Lord, the law is trite. No matter how brilliant Counsel’s oral address is, it cannot take the place of evidence.

The court of law is a court of facts and facts are established when supporting evidence is adduced.

4. Akpan v. Bob & Ors (2011)

When to use this:

The opposing counsel suggests that your brief is defective and should be struck out.

Your response:

“My Lord, even where a brief is alleged to be bad, the only consequence the court may visit upon it is an adverse comment.

It has no jurisdiction to regard such a brief as no brief at all… It cannot strike it out on the premises of being bad.”

5. NNPC v. Clifco Nig. Ltd. (2011)

When to use this: After winning, opposing party resists a costs order;

Your response:

“My lord, costs follow the event in litigation. A successful party should not be deprived of the fruits of litigation unless there are specific reasons why he should be deprived of his entitlement.”

6. Sodipo v. Lemminkainen & Anor (1986)

When to use this:

Opposing counsel objects to an affidavit because it was deposed to by a lawyer.

How to respond:

“My Lord, an affidavit sworn by counsel is not objectionable in principle.

It is only improper where the subject-matter involves privileged client communication or places counsel in a position of being cross-examined. Neither condition is present here.”

Which of these stood out to you?

P.S: Lawyers, what case law will you recommend as no. 7?👇👇

Best legal write up I’ve seen all week.

Yesterday, I talked about how Shell uses the CAR framework during interviews.

(https://t.co/O5rQQXrCcO )

And mentioned how STAR works.

But what if I told you that the real OGs don’t even use STAR?

They use STAR-R.

This thread is about that second, all-important, R. 🧵
