@GuyMr10 Make dem follow am go jail for him stupidity (if true) na.
You fit get sense to do blue tick nor mean say you really get sense to use the blue tick oo
I have been seeing the reactions from some lawyers over Very Dark Man being invited to speak at the NBA Annual General Conference, and I honestly think some of us are taking this too far.
First, I am not a fan of VDM. In his early days, I saw him as an attention seeker, and I have never really been comfortable with some his approach to advocacy for the less privileged. But that does not mean I cannot acknowledge the things he has done that I consider positive.
Whether we like him or not, VDM has used his platform to draw attention to violations of human rights and abuse of power in Nigeria. He has been using and still using his platform to help ordinary Nigerians get justice in a country of ours where selective justice is apparent. You may not like some of his methods and approach, just like me, but you cannot pretend these things have not happened.
So, if the NBA invites him to speak, what exactly is the problem? Is VDM a crimin@l? Has any court convicted him of a crime? At least, none that I know of.And was he invited to teach lawyers the law? No. If he was invited to share his experiences and perspectives on issues affecting citizens and the justice system, I really don't understand the outrage. You people are talking as if VDM is a crimin@l who should not be seen among lawyers.
Since when did advocacy become the exclusive territory of we lawyers? Yes, NBA is a professional body, but its conferences have never been restricted to lawyers alone. Non-lawyers attend and have also been invited to speak.
I honestly think we need to stop gatekeeping conversations about law and justice. Sometimes, people outside our profession have experiences and perspectives that are worth listening to, even when we don't particularly like them. You don’t have to like VDM. I don't particularly like everything about him either. But that does not automatically make him useless or unworthy of being invited to speak at a conference.
Thank you.

@daniel14663462 Are you high?
Does this Milan look like it’s about names??
He’s a finished and very predictable kid; we are not playing Leao and inshala anymore! The position is more important than the player!
If Pulisic didn’t fit, I’ll also be rooting for him to go…Leao is not a top player!
