I think we need to talk more about the issue of erroneous transfer and the demands of banks for court order before there can be a reversal .

It is a major issue in banker -customer relationship .

BREAKING: The FG has increased the number of students admitted into nursing schools yearly from 20,000 to 50,000.

The aim is to train more nurses, reduce the shortage of healthcare workers, improve hospitals, and provide more people with opportunities to join the health sector.

[E.P Aninze Esq. @EkeneAninze]

I just randomly remembered when Olisa Agbakoba advanced one of the funniest arguments ever witnessed in criminal law.

So on the 24th of August, 1981, in Yaba, Lagos State, a man called Onuoha Kalu was having a heated argument with Agbai Ezikpe.

Out of excessive anger, Onuoha Kalu unlawfully st@bbed Agbai in the neck with the broken end of a Star Lager beer bottle.

Eyewitnesses apprehended Kalu immediately after the att@ck and held him until the Police arrived at the scene.

Kalu was later arrested and arraigned before the Lagos State High Court.

The prosecution called six witnesses and closed its case.

At the end of the trial, the Lagos State High Court convicted Kalu of mur.der and sentenced him to de@th under Section 319(1) of the Criminal Code of Lagos State.

But that was not the end of the matter.

Olisa Agbakoba took the case all the way to the Supreme Court, where he advanced one of the most interesting arguments ever made in a mur.der case.

According to Agbakoba, the right to life is an absolute, fundamental right.

He tried to convince the Supreme Court that any law permitting a court or the State to terminate the life of its citizens is inherently unconstitutional because it contradicts the primary purpose of constitutional protection of life by that same State.

He focused heavily on the method of execution, particularly hanging, and the "death row phenomenon."

His argument was that de@th penalty should be abolished.

Why?

Because it is degrading and inhumane for the State to keep a convict on de@th row for a prolonged period, combined with the inherent cruelty of hanging.

He convinced the court that such an act offends the dignity of the person, which the State has a duty to protect.

But after Justice Anthony Ikechukwu Iguh, who read the lead judgment, was done listening to the arguments, he rejected them.

The Court held that the prohibition against "inhuman or degrading treatment" could not be read to invalidate the de@th penalty.

Why?

Because the same Constitution permitted the de@th penalty under Section 30 of the 1979 Constitution.

Hence, the execution itself could not legally be defined as an unconstitutional form of torture or degradation.

The Supreme Court emphasized that the abolition of the de@th penalty is a legislative responsibility.

Its role, according to the Court, is to interpret the law as it stands. Any policy decision to abolish capital punishment must originate from the National Assembly through a constitutional amendment.

In the end, Kalu's de@th sentence was affirmed by the Court.

But imagine if Agbakoba had succeeded.

Today, the doctrine of the de@th penalty for cases of mur.der could have been abolished in Nigeria.

It would have been that one argument, one case and one Supreme Court decision that could have completely changed the face of criminal law in Nigeria.

That case is still being cited by lawyers today as Onuoha Kalu v. The State (1998) 13 NWLR (Pt. 583) 531.

"Electioneering experience is personal"

Watch out in 2027… this will be my statement . So far I can vote , anybody that can’t vote should not complain and we will accept it like that

NBA has lot every moral right to criticize any election in Nigeria. NBA keeps validating my views about the kind of leadership at all levels of NBA. But I must say that we will remember this current administration as a total mess and a failure in every sense.

[SEUN @seuncitiswag]

For sometime I have avoided anything concerning the NBA election. I envisaged that the process would be terrible judging from what was happening. This association thing should be voluntary sha but somehow they found a way to make it compulsory.

@mrlurvy @OgbeniDipo Happy birthday to you sir

Infantino isn’t stupid so what was he thinking? It doesn’t matter. He’s got to go. There was an honesty about Blatter’s dishonesty. Not Infantino. He operates his scams in plain sight. He’s odious drips insincerity & should be finished. Football has to unite & make that happen.

Distinguished Colleagues,

Every candidate in this election has published a manifesto. The Nigerian legal profession has seen many manifestos. The more useful question is not what is promised, it is whether there is a coherent, funded, and time-bound mechanism for delivery.

The LOA programme for the NBA 2026 to 2028 is structured around five interconnected pillars, organised under the acronym I-DARE:

I — Institutional and Governance Reform. The NBA Secretariat will be restructured on the basis of five existing diagnostic reports, the Professor Chidi Odinkalu Committee, the Dr. Joe Abah Committee, the Legal Profession Regulation Review Committee, the PwC Report, and the KPMG Diagnostic, all of which reached the same conclusion: the Secretariat is not fit for purpose. None have been implemented. LOA will harmonise and implement all five within the first twelve months.

D — Digital Transformation and the Modernisation of Bar Services. NBA One: one login, one dashboard, one unified platform connecting every fragmented NBA digital asset. The e-Remuneration Platform embedded inside NBA One, making the 2023 Remuneration Order a live enforcement tool, not a statutory aspiration. Delivered in three phases over 18 months.

A — Adequate Remuneration and the Protection of Lawyers' Livelihoods. Full enforcement of the Remuneration Order through the e-Remuneration Platform. A living wage framework for lawyers in paid employment incorporated into the Rules of Professional Conduct. Protection of the exclusive legal practice space against encroachment by non-lawyers including estate agents, banks, and accountants performing legal functions without authority.

R — Rule of Law, Administration of Justice, and Independence of the Judiciary. Zero-tolerance posture on disobedience of lawful court orders. Forceful advocacy for competitive judicial remuneration and merit-based appointments free from political interference. A Lawyers' Defence Fund for members who are victims of human rights violations by security agencies.

E — Empowerment, Welfare, Inclusion and Equity. Free stamps on BPF payment. Free Law Pavilion and NWLR for lawyers of zero to ten years. Life insurance increased from N2 million to N4 million. National mentorship scheme. Six-month maternity leave advocacy. Statutory representation for lawyers with disabilities on the NEC.

This is I-DARE. Five pillars. Specific commitments. Delivery timelines. Measurable outcomes. Not a theme. A programme.

Vote LOA. 18 July 2026.
