Some things baffle me. I just do not understand.
For example, people who are educated, yet just cannot reason logically.
Listen to this crap. A graduate calls me up and informs me to be careful. Of what? Receiving calls from strange numbers because there is gist/rumour/idle talk that people are simply dropping dead by receiving calls from.certain numbers.
So the phone rings, you pick the call and bam. U drop dead.
Yeah, me too. SMH.
BIG TIME lawyer

in LEGIT!!!!
Yup, today was one of those days when the profession makes a bit of sense, well it gives some fulfilment.
Still broke ass and at my age, being broke is kinda like a curse. But then i digress.
I had to go listen to a judgement in a matter i was fully involved in and it was favorable to me.
Well, not a judgment per se, lets say a ruling.. but it ends the matter so………
Actually what makes this kinda special is that i was fully involved in this one.
My client owed a bank, and had mortgaged properties to the bank. Now as it so happens, the bank officials manipulated his account such that he could’nt possibly repay, and set their hearts on getting the property sold surreptitiously to themselves.
Now we rushed to court to forestall the such eventuality and the matter was subjudice, so to speak.
After many years, it turns out that the matter was still not moving forward, then parties agreed to settle the matter out of court.
On my advice, our client paid a lump sum in full and final settlement of the debt.
Lo and behold, the bank after confirming that the payment would be full and final, received the monies and then reneged.
They gave the flimsy excuse that the mortgage/debt had been transferred to someone else entirely and that we would have to go negotiate afresh with that person.!! (Assets Management Corporation)
Then they turned around to try to withdraw the suit from court. I opposed it and and after hibernating extensively, discovered a supreme court authority that says i can apply to the court to ask the court to vary the order to be made to level equities. They were trying to gain an undue advantage, and the court should prevent them.
And the court agreed, and ordered them to let go of the properties within 7 days.
Feels good.
pocket empty still. sigh.

in RANT!!!! I Love it!!, Ubuntu!
why is Ubuntu 11.04 so annoying?
i mean its just neutral. its not too bad to use, but its not flawless either. and its the little niggles that get to me so much. like not being able to create a personal wireless hotspot. something which is routine on earlier versions.
and whats most annoying is its not a major fail, how many folks ever want to do that? but i want to for my also annoying android fone, so as to stop dashing Glo so much cash all the time.
and the unity interface. its different, but not compelling. initially i loved the difference, over time it has become a minor irritation to be endured. i can’t exactly place my finger on whats the problem, but its there………… mcheew
and the greatest annoyance. i cant seem to get freedom software to connect on ubuntu. it works routinely on windows.
so nowi am forced everyday to use windows 7, despite my avowed love for ubuntu. my personal hardware dont run windows anymore, but at work its what i use.
and i dont like it. mchheeew

I’m lonely. short and simple.
i have always been. i love being lonely. absolutely fantastic to not have to consider anyone else for your decisions.
i think its selfish. but not detrimental. come to think of it, its not even that bad…… considering that its not that i cannot consider others or be bothered by tending for them. its just if i have a choice not too, wow i prefer that.
but now i feel lonely, its been a bit more pronounced since i moved out and started hanging on my own. so what do i intend to do about it? nothing.
see, everyone says get a lover, but i really do not see myself as having to live with a woman always. i seriously doubt my marriage credentials anyway. i can barely tolerate anyone for long periods of time. my idea of a marriage would be to be married friday to sunday every week.
else, i would want to be married to the woman who does not exist:
SHE DOES NOT DISLIKE MY MOTHER OR WISH SHE WAS DEAD.
1. she is not needy/clingy
2. she does not need to hear lies to feel good
3. she does not need my money to survive, but takes it whenever i offer it.
4. she will not get fat/ will do her darnedest to keep it in check (beyonce is too fat for my tastes kinda)
5. she wont try to kill me when i get too rich for her liking.
6. likes sex reasonably. (2wice a day on the weekends)
7. forgives my bullSHIT.
8. wont dress like a foolish tart/does not need to be a fashion bimbo especially when she is above thirty.
see. they don’t exist!
but im lonely………………… ** picks up fone and dials customer care***** at least i can get laid
Rain, romeo, legal loff!!

Today was a mixed bag. Typical in the day of a hustling lawyer I guess.
It started out innocently enough. I had to conduct a trial, I was claimant attorney, I didn’t know what my case was! Shocking? As usual. Its not that bad always, but this time, I hadn’t seen the inside of the case file for eons. I picked it up to look through yesterday evening and lo and behold, all I had in the file were photocopies of the documents I intended to rely on to prove my case…… provided I managed to figure out what it was before trial began.
I read through it once, and fell asleep. This morning, im like jeez, WTF. So I put up my legal airs, assumed my swagger, and went to court. Met the client, turns out he knew even less than I knew, OF HIS OWN CASE NONETHELESS!!!!. So I set about a crash course studiously looking at the file like the legal luminary I am.
Court sits promptly, kinda. Just 30 mins late. And away we go. Other cases were called before mine, so I sat there, and believe me, there was a case where the claimant counsel was named Romeo Michael and the defendant counsel was named……… Juliet Nwokoma. Yeah, it’s that type of day. Pronto came out the jokes, and even the taciturn judge could not resist cracking one. As it so turned out, these Romeo and Juliet never heard about the original ones, this loff was HAWT. From throwing verbal jabs to legal bombs they had it all. Plus Juliet had a razor sharp tongue to boot. Let’s just say this loff didn’t go too well.
Then came the big moment, and the heavens opened up, literally. Outside though, much to my disappointment. Still don’t know how I manage it, but I actually have this ability to sound a lot more intelligent and knowledgeable than I am. But then the unfortunate blunderbuss on the other side would make popeye look like john grisham. Oh and the photocopies, I tendered them, after making some wishy-washy foundation and lying that the originals were with the defendants. The Judge cottoned on to my ruse, but hey, she is an arbiter, dumbo defence lawyer didn’t object so she grudgingly accepted them. I’d hate to read her description of the trial proceedings by yours truly. Had to be the shortest ever. Wham, bam, thank you ma’am, all of five minutes. Then the moment of glory, after my client got cross-examined and I was slyly mouthing answers to him, I got up and royally scattered the entire cross exmination by asking a question that totally undermined the defendants, and I also supplied the answer, helpfully. It ain’t my fault if my learned doofus colleague can’t do the job eh!
And I swept out of the court, regally, after parting with N500 bucks in tips to the hailing court officials, hailing the new Rotimi Williams. (truth be told, I kinda prefer my case file not being lost, this is Nigeria).
Got outside and there the illusion ended, mother nature was having none of that crap. So I rolled up my trousers, and dashed for the bus stop, (lord I need a car, pleeeeeaaaaasssseeeee) my trusted jacket doing double duty a parka. A great day all round no?
Nigeria, Boko Haram, the rest of us.

i usually do not bother myself with topics such as this one here in nigeria.
for the simple reason that i know that there are so many angles to whatever it is that is going on, that it would be foolhardy to simply pick a point of view, only to be bamboozled later by the unfolding events.
but this one just gets my crawl on.
Who/what is Boko Haram, and more importantly what do they want? i still do not know. i cannot accept the simplistic explanation that they are an islamic sect with bloodthirst. nigerians do not think in that way. sure they may be reactionary, but coldly irresponsible and bloodlusting? NO. there is an agenda. one we are yet to know, though naturally everyone guesses its political.
but then, this situation remind me of the story of the “concerned neighbour”.
The man whose neighbour’s house was burning, yet kept a safe distance, mouthing platitudes like eeyah!, and geeing up other well-wishers to go put out the fire, all from the comfortable distance of his balcony. ironically a few days later, it was his house on fire, and the neighbours also kept their distance mouthing platitudes whilst he kept screaming for help.
that to my mind is the nigerian conundrum. when the west was boiling a la OPC, every other region only read about it in newspapers and saw tv clips. there was no effort from anywhere to actually help solve the riddle. likewise the MASSOB uprising, the Niger Delta Militants (the much romanticised militants). now its the turn of the north and typically, its a case of commentaries and beer parlour arguments elsewhere in this country.
one thing is clear, the refusal to tackle the issues heads on, that ostrich playing charade has contributed to a situation where things are falling apart, and very fast. matter of fact, i am expecting another region of the country to combust soon.
anyways, do not be decieved, i do not have this country’s interests at heart at all. i dont believe in nigeria. i do not believe that anything can happen that will suddenly change the psyche of the “nigerian”. Nigeria is a failed state.
Therefore, i am secretly happy for the Boko Haram issue. i’m not morbid, i take no joy in the killings of innocent people. but for long i have harboured the notion that the Northern part of nigeria is such a mess because the northern elite had long purposed it to be so, so as to perpetuate their elite status. now the talakawas are biting the fingers that have fed them. The same education that they denied their people strategically, so that they do not gain “harmful” western enlightenment is turning out to be their albatross. how do you convince an illiterate that the education he never had is now the solution to his problems? when all he has known has been abject poverty fueled religious bigotry.
Anyway, i hear that there is a renewed focus to target select members of the northern elite. too bad. they want to kill off the few with any commonsense!!
I actually harbour the hope that this will escalate to the point where the north will begin to agitate for a separate state. i daresay that will be the fastest breakaway state in history. i don’t know anyone in the south who will not be glad to see the parasites go.
i hope i get my wish, quickly.
BTW, Boko Haram, please keep the bombs to the north!! #just saying
i apologise

Sagging
15 Aug 2010 1 Comment
I generally pride myself on being a modern day bloke, you know, the in-guy with moral blurs and a carefree attitude!
but there is a line and this definitely crosses it!!
im talking about the fad called ‘sagging”, irritating among guys even when back in the days when it was really cool in sec schl many many years ago (am not old ooooooo ehen!) but when even the girls start doing it O.M.G, disgusting!!
why would a reasonable thinking woman, put on a pair of trousers and then push it down to the middle of her butt? i mean well it seems desperately attention seeking and makes them look very cheap. tight belt, the butt-meat all accentuated by the belt and so on……. as really do u need men to see u so much as to throw away decency?
even worse, the unfortunate ne’er do well, hungry ones from poor homes who just have to belong and then do it in clothes so ridiculous u wanna weep. sigh!!
or the Okada incidents where the entire bare buttocks (whatever happened to undies these days, scarce?) is in full glare and the mumu keeps tryin use her to cover it up! jeez!! i thot it was supposed to be displayed!!!
most annoying is the stretch marks, warts, wrinkles, blotches, mosquito bites(yes!!) that are on display!!!
well sha woe betide that woman i know personally who i’d catch sagging. i’m pretty sure my tongue has enough acid to do a good job. and im very sure no woman dating me will dare!!!!
