3RD WEEK NOVEMBER 09 (16TH - 21ST)

SQUIB DIARY

MONDAY 16TH NOVEMBER 2009
The Squib’s out. Cover Story- “Will the Trial judge, suffer for convicting Chief Olabode George?” Was at the Ikeja High Court. Regular People. Regular Sights-including the Excreta filled frontage of Justice Alogba’s court.
Expectedly, there were some talks about on the loss of the finals of the under 17 FIFA World Cup tournament by Nigeria to Switzerland by 1-0 yesterday. At any rate, there was some consolation in the air - Nigeria qualified for the World Cup for the 4th time on Saturday 14 November, by beating Kenya 3-2 and topping their group ahead of the more likely winner Tunisia.

TUESDAY 17TH NOVEMBER 2009
Was at the Ikeja High Court. But for a brief while. Moved on to the Lagos High Court-For this and that legal preparation, for a serious case, coming up tomorrow.

WEDNESDAY 18TH NOVEMBER 2009
Busy, busy day. God knows my bones too. Did three cases in two courts, in two high courts all in a space of three hours. After finishing the first two cases at the High court at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Onikan, literally sprinted to make the third in good time, at the Lagos High Court Igbosere, more than half a kilometer away.

THURSDAY 19TH NOVEMBER 2009
Woke up to find that the Lord of the Dry Air, a.k.a harmattan had arrived town. Got to the Ikeja High Court and spent a few hours there, particularly, at the new “out-going” secretariat of the Tiger Bar.
In a matter of weeks, or even days, the bungalow would be pulled down, after more than twenty years of service, to pave way for the Tiger’s new office edifice.
All eyes will behold it. Amen!

FRIDAY 20TH NOVEMBER 2009
Was in the chambers all through today. It’s like that sometimes, you know.

SATURDAY 21ST NOVEMBER 2009
Came to the Police College Ikeja grounds for the Tigers Bar Sportif Programme. Only two other tigers turned up. No problem though. We still had our exercise and fun.
