I miss them Possible, Faith, Sage, etc. era of legal twitter. It would take a while before we see any set of lawyers, who are cordial with each other, that can replicate what they did for the profession. They made so many people dream. God bless them fr.

As far as I am concerned, value for human life and compassion for suffering are the highest traits I look for in leaders of a nation as troubled as ours.

And it has been proven beyond reasonable doubt that these APC folks don't have it. It's really that simple for me.

Any law firm willing to allow me display my magic tricks 🙂‍↔️?

[Oyinkansola @oyinkanbadejo]

Finance folks defending policies that only work on paper while their quality of life keeps declining just to maintain some fake sense of intellectual superiority. If the economics never translates to real life, what does that tell you, Einstein?

I didn’t start in a top tier firm, never worked in one, had no back up family fund, no fall back funds and no trust fund. Was the daughter of a public primary school teacher who spent afterschool in Isheri frying Garri, fetching water and watching our mum use our unpainted wall as blackboard for our school work revision.

While I’m still on my breakthrough journey, here are few things I’ve learnt so far:

1. Use your early years for learning. Yes, you may or may not be well paid but ensure you are learning. In my early years, If I’m not getting it from the firm, I ensured I was getting it from the news, law reports and friends in more active practice than I was.

2. Keep showing up: Some days will be good, some days, tough and other days outrightly bad. One thing you can’t stop doing however is showing up.

3. Never be comfortable doing nothing. Take on more tasks, more work and ensure you challenge yourself always. In my early years, I recall walking to my supervisor to ask for work once I see that I had nothing to do. I didn’t dress up, leave Iyana Ipaja for Lekki at 5am just to come do nothing.

4. Seek value adding opportunities. This is life. Where you arrived with a wobbly wooden ladder, someone else got there by an elevator. Don’t despise your wobbly ladder. Appreciate that it’s helping you move ahead in a place where some are still on the ground. Do not, however, be filled with unnecessary admiration of your wobbly ladder, focus on how you can make it better, how you can get an iron ladder, how you can build a staircase, how you can own your own elevator and finally how you can fly, outpacing even the elevator.

The goal is to keep moving.

5. Imagination and innovation should be your companion. Books, movies and the internet has helped us a lot in promoting equal access and opportunities. Take full advantage of this. Keep the vision of where you want to be in mind at all times. Make sure everything you do is taking you a step closer to where you want to be. It’s okay if outsiders do not understand you and how you are moving. You alone know your goal, your map and your journey. Every single time you look at your vision, ensure you improve on it. Do it better.

Also, that you have not worked in a top tier firm does not mean that you cannot admire them from afar, watch what they are doing, listen to the interviews of their visioneers, and aim to build something similar if not better than what they have built.

6. Whether one naira or one million naira in fees, so long as your name will be on it, ensure excellence. What this means is that you must maintain a general standard of excellence and never be one to have adjustable level excellence based on fees paid per client. Be clear in your expressions, sound in your reasoning and knowledgeable in the advisory you offer clients.

Again, as I am still on this journey myself, I hope to continue to learn more and share as I encounter them. 🙏🏽

Why is everybody complaining about the quality of engineers? I thought we are all using AI to generate 10k lines of code a day. Why are you complaining?

Again the problem is our government!!!They have failed to create an environment for talent to flourish, or to even retain the best talents.
