REFUSAL TO REDUCE CONFERENCE FEES: YOUNG LAWYERS, KNOW WHO YOU VOTE IN JULY, NBA 2024 ELECTIONS *By ~ METI MONDAY UKPEH ESQ. Uyo-based Human Rights Lawyer Verily,  it will be sympathetic for us to still tie ourselves to the cleaves of the Cliché,  that it is "TOO EARLY TO RAISE CONCERNS" about the leadership styles of our present crop of NBA "leaders". In a nation where leaders sleep in taverns of comfort, with their protruded bellies stuck to the Western world and their anuses farting on the already fainted masses,  our NBA should stand out!  In our country  where the executive is self-bedeviled with barons and baronesses of incompetence,  sleeping over the cries of security and people-oriented programmes,  our NBA should stand out!  In a same nation where our Judiciary is wrapped in a life-draining executive imposition and dependence,  hence churning out godforsaken lapses in Orders,  Rulings and decisions; yet again, our NBA should stand out!  But comfort is not ...

Dear NBA President/NEC, Please Perish the Thought of Implementating N50,000 2024-AGC Fee   For Young Lawyers: An Appeal for a Review In a country where perilous times permeate the fabrics of every sector; in a country where an economy digresses, hunger, high cost of living, fuel, gas, transportation, et al, yawn on the emaciated faces of every countryman and the air of vices gainfully breathing on the throats of all; in all these, what a time for Nigerian Bar Association(NBA) to plunge and confine its members to worry, particularly younger lawyers whom have become the worst hit, the worst targeted and the worst affected even when they are a viable and the acclaimed hope of the profession; what a time to be a young lawyer! What a time!  As tongue-bittered as it is, it is no longer news that the media space has been awash with publication of the upward review of the 2024-AGC Registration fees sadly approved by the NBA-NEC with young lawyers paying a throat-choking and neck-strangling sum...

GOODWILL MESSAGE May we begin by congratulating the Chairman of the NBA, Uyo Branch together with his Executive Committee Members and the Bar Week Planning Committee for this exquisite and excellent Bar Week 2024 laced with tapestry. Permit us to say this Bar Week is the best of its kind and history has just been updated. Ceremonies like this show our resilience and commitment as “Good Bar Men” to upholding justice even though it means running to catch up with the changes the world had already embraced, in terms of the emerging technologies. The theme of the Bar Week 2024: “Facing the Future: Justice Delivery, Technology and the Bar” using the Gen-Z slang; the organizers “ate and left no crumbs”, as it is well thought out for our today’s reality. Judges/Magistrates are humans, Lawyers are humans, Judiciary staff are humans and can only work to the extent to which their human capabilities can carry them which may not be in tandem with the expectations of the men on the other side of the...
