Lagos State High Court
Settlement Week begins. No court session all week long. Isn’t that interesting?
But what will the judges be doing? Oh, don’t worry about that; they are off to a
foreign land (some say Gabon, some say Canada) for “further education.” I hear
you.
One Lagos State Judge
did not go for the “educational trip” for he needed it not again. After all
he’s just been elevated to the Court of Appeal and sworn in today as a judge.
His name? Habeeb Olawale Abiru J.C.A. The Supreme Court just round the corner .
Tigers monthly meeting
today. Lively and interesting as usual. A member who advertised drugs to
prevent prostate enlargement and enhance sexual libido in men was asked whether
her confident sale pitch was from point of experience.
TUESDAY 6TH NOVEMBER 2012
The high courts are
shut. No judge around. Went to the Tigers lair in the noon. Spent useful time
playing the arbitrator. No fees, sha O. Received a gift from Tiger Chief who
just returned from the U.S. The gift? Just “Agege Bread.” Later went to chambers.
To do chambers work.WEDNESDAY 7TH NOVEMBER 2012
High court, Lagos
State, still shut down. The judges, abroad. “Settlement Week” in progress. The
court rooms turned to “Settlement Rooms.” A graduate of the Nigerian Law School
is said to be a “Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.” He
is no way described as Mediator and Arbitrator of the Supreme Court. Something
is seriously missing. There is a lot to question about the imposed nature of
the MEDIATION
PRACTICE in the Lagos state Judiciary.
In the afternoon, went to Ogun State. Over a land
issue between a client and “omo onile.”

Landed in the Tigers’ Lair
quite early in the morning. Did much of gecko labour and a few Bar matters till
late in the afternoon. The Squib professor of law brought to the lair his new
car. Joined in a drive-about celebration.

Squib production in
full throttle.
