2ND WEEK OCTOBER 2010 (11TH - 16TH)

SQUIB DIARY



MONDAY 11TH OCTOBER 2010
The Squib’s out cover story-“Bazooka Hits Aondoakaa”. Was at the Ikeja High Court. For Bar and Gecko duties.

TUESDAY 12TH OCTOBER 2010
Was at the Lagos High Court. For a matter. Didn’t go on. Because the honourable trial judge couldn’t pass the “Red Sea” that had separated Ikorodu and other surrounding areas, since about a fortnight ago from Mainland and Island Lagos

WEDNESDAY 13TH OCTOBER 2010
Was at the Family Court (Magistrate) Ikeja for a matter. Interesting court – family court. After my case, repaired to the Tiger land lair.
Met the remnants of a fight that broke out, at the Bar centre during a compulsory conference between parties in a matrimonial matter at the High Court.
While the brother of the wife offered the husband a sharp slap to the cheeks, the husband did a vampire on the neck of his brother-in-law. By then counsel to the petitioner and respondent had jumped ship. Serious.

THURSDAY 14TH OCTOBER 2010
Spent all my day at the lair of the Tigers. Doing the business of the Tigers

FRIDAY 15TH OCTOBER 2010
Just like yesterday. In the afternoon. But in the evening, things looked up much better. Attended a law undergraduates dinner.
Nice enough fare, although my hosts alias “lawyers-in-equity” would need to do better in some areas like imbibing the culture of the profession as it pertains to taste, dressing and language use.

SATURDAY 16TH OCTOBER 2010
All day retreat at the Bar Centre for Ikeja Bar Executive Committee. Was there. Happy and useful deliberations, I assure you.
