4TH WEEK OCTOBER (25TH - 28TH OCTOBER 2010)

MONDAY 25TH OCTOBER 2010
The Squib’s out. Cover Story, “A LETTER TO THE SEPTEMBER 7.” Came to the Lagos High Court. For a case. Civil matter. Couldn’t go on. Neither defendant nor her counsel present. Presiding judge did not arrive in court on the dot of 9.00am. couldn’t recollect any apology from him for coming late. Big man show.
TUESDAY 26TH OCTOBER 2010
Hid away. In chambers. For many hours.
WEDNESDAY 27TH OCTOBER 2010
Was at the Customary Court, Bolade, Oshodi. The panel sat almost two hours after the proper hour. From my experience, this court hardly sits punctually. The court, without offering any apology proceeded to hear matters. But when counsel pointed out her error, the court immediately without taking any offence, did the right thing. Great.
THURSDAY 28TH OCTOBER 2010
Was in chambers all morning and half of the afternoon. No rest though. Scribe plus gecko plus lawyer, plus one or two other wahala is equal to perpetual ‘busyness.’
FRIDAY 28TH OCTOBER 2010
In the evening, with some other Tigers was at the burial ceremony of the mother of a Tiger at Ipaja. The mother died at the tender age of 87. Surely the wicked have done their worst. Gbenga Ajayi, (the affected Tiger) now a full blown orphan.
