2ND WEEK FEBRUARY 09 (9TH - 14TH)

SQUIB DIARY

MONDAY 9TH FEBRUARY 2009
Squib’s out. Cover story – Court of Appeal Dams Nigerian Lawyers. Was at the Ikeja High court. For cases. Why are prosecution teams generally lazy or and uncoordinated?
Many of the times they are fond of giving excuses to the court instead of proceeding with their case. Noticed something positive about some leaders of the Tiger branch sartorial elegance. “Everybody” is getting dandy these days. But, em, the way, when will we commence the building of our new secretariat?

TUESDAY 10TH FEBRUARY 2009
Got quite late to court (Lagos High Court, Tafawa Balewa Square. Missing phones, traffic jams, the culprit. Later sailed off the court to Ikeja High Court from there to Sheraton Ikeja to meet a beautiful lady. Well, not in camera. World Bank Project Personnel. Zara by name. Must you know any more? Well the purpose of the meeting had something to do with the Squib. Satisfied now?

WEDNESDAY 11TH FEBRUARY 2009
Was at the Ikeja High Court. Spent long hours at the Bar Centre. Having a leader’s meeting. Tigers’ leadership. Took some “wait and get” passport photographs. Some stories to tell about photographs. Later.

THURSDAY 12TH FEBRUARY 2009
Was at the Lagos High Court. Then very briefly at the Appeal Court. Geckoed freely and widely about. Got to the Ministry of Justice later in the afternoon. For one or two ‘gecko unrelated business. Noticed that offices in the Ministry ’ve gown smaller but neater, even canter. Was bold that the already large Chambers of the Honourable Attorney-General has even grown larger. More people, then, less space. Moved on to the Ikeja High Court. Tied up some lawyers business. Much later in the evening, landed at the Ministry of Justice again. This guy must be chasing something. That, if nothing was chasing him.

FRIDAY 13TH FEBRUARY 2009
Spent some hours at the Bar Centre, Ikeja High Court. Eating, chatting, granting interview. Life in the Tigers’ lair can be fun.

SATURDAY 14TH FEBRUARY 2009
Was at the Police College for the Tigers’ Weekend Sports Programme. Even though all those who turned were 51/2, we still had a good time, running about with our 40 years old plus bodies about, playing a similitude of beach soccer.
