3RD WEEK JANUARY, 2010 (18TH - 23RD)

SQUIB DIARY


MONDAY 18TH JANUARY 2010
Was at the Tafawa Balewa Square, Onikan High Court. For a matter that did not go on. Courtesy of the absent prosecutor.
Later went to the Court of Appeal. For a matter that went on, Guess what, at 4.00p.m!
One would have flown to Madagascar in the morning and come back and still caught up on the case.
This is a story for another day I guess

TUESDAY 19TH JANUARY 2010
Was at the Lagos High Court, Igbosere. Specifically in the Chief Judge’s court. What a full court. Well almost full. Saw a brisk, efficient if hard hand at work. An interesting court, I tell you. Much to my relief the suit that was already struck out, was resuscitated by the court.

WEDNESDAY 20TH JANUARY 2010
Was at the Ikeja High Court. For a matter. The matter went on but not after some drama and anxious-moments. The commendable flexibility and understanding of the judge saved the day however even though I was teased in the process by milady sorry, milord!

THURSDAY 21ST JANUARY 2010
Was at the Ikeja High Court. Before my favourite judge. Yes that calm judex. By the way, who is your favourite judge? Did my case and left. Spent the rest of the evening at a pleasant haunt, geckoing seriously.

FRIDAY 22ND JANUARY 2010
Was at the Ikeja High Court. Then ‘sailed’ to Victoria Island in search of money. Came back to Ikeja and saw the Disciplinary Committee of the NBA Ikeja branch at Work. In the “Temporary” Secretariat of the Tiger Bar.

SATURDAY 23RD JANUARY 2010
Was at the Police College. For the Tiger Bar Sports Programme.
Dozens of other people also there, engaged in diverse sports, games and exercises. There were some sights that you could not but marvel at like that of a track suited trekker I saw marching all over the place. What abundance! What a spread! What an upheaval! Haba! “Ile Eru!” If a devout Muslim had seen what I saw, he would have certainly intoned “Allahu Akbar,” while a devout Christian would have exclaimed, “Glory be to God on High” and a Yoruba traditionalist, “Iba tooto Iba!”

The three Tigers who turned up enjoyed themselves thoroughly.
