2026 NBA PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION THE HYPOCRISY OF THE OUTGOING AND INCOMING PRESIDENT CONTINUES Distinguished Colleagues, On 19 July 2026, a day after the shambolic election of national officers of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) organised by the Electoral Committee of the Nigerian Bar Association (ECNBA), under the Chairmanship of Aham Ejelam, SAN, I issued a ‘Thank You’ message to all Nigerian lawyers, expressing my appreciation for the efforts they put into the process despite the demonstrable malpractice and incompetence displayed by the ECNBA. In that press release, I also promised to communicate a comprehensive, fully informed and principled position on the next steps, and I pledged that such next steps would be grounded in evidence, anchored in law and above all, driven by a single objective: the protection of the democratic rights of every member of the Association who was denied their vote and ensuring accountability in our electoral process. Recent developments have necessitated the need for me to issue this follow-up message and to highlight the hypocrisy presently on display not just from the proclaimed winner of the shambolic election, Mrs. Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, @MrsBBold SAN, but also by the NBA President, @afamosigwe Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN. To place this statement in the proper context, it is pertinent to recall the reactions of the three NBA Presidential Candidates in the immediate aftermath of the election. @MuyiwaAkinboro Aare Olumuyiwa Akinboro, SAN understandably took the view that the charade that took place on 18 and 19 July 2026 was not an election known to the NBA Constitution and therefore that an appeal to the National Officers Election Appeal Committee of the NBA would amount to legitimizing a body whose jurisdiction has not crystallized. Very importantly too, he called for an immediate independent forensic audit of the entire electoral process to determine critical issues relating to the election. On my part, for the records and for the sake of posterity, I appealed to the National Officers Election Appeal Committee of the NBA in line with the provisions of the NBA Constitution and as a prelude to the next steps that I intend to take, which include exploring all legal remedies under the law to ensure that the NBA as an institution is accountable to its members, and our electoral process is reformed. In line this, I filed a formal interlocutory application to the Appeal Committee seeking inter alia an order directing the ECNBA to immediately release, on a REDACTED BASIS (i.e., with all personal information removed), all critical information, documents and data bases of the electronic voting platforms and domain(s) used for the conduct of the election under the supervision of the Director General of the Nigeria Information Technology and Development Agency to guarantee and verify the integrity of the process. Mrs. Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, SAN, in the course of her celebratory media rounds, pledged to submit herself to an audit and IMMEDIATELY RESIGN, if credible proof demonstrates that the election which brought her into office was manipulated in her favour. One would have expected that Mrs. Badejo-Okusanya, SAN would keep her word and willingly submit to any transparent democratic process that would independently audit the election with a view to ascertaining if indeed the election that brought her into office was manipulated. Ironically, Mrs. Oyinkansola Badejo-Okusanya, SAN refused to acknowledge a message from me, calling for a joint audit and, more importantly, objected to my application for an audit, the essence of which was to ascertain the number of our members who were disenfranchised, on the basis that the release of the information would violate members' right to privacy and their data.

None!

There are some things you’ll say as a Muslim about magic or juju not being real that I’ll have to ask of your understanding of the Qur’an. Allah specifically narrated the story of the magicians who threw their staff on the floor in the time of Moses. You can’t even grow up in

@rraahhmmaattt Just try to push through it. You can start with reading articles just to reignite the habit.

Upskilling? x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@Ice_TheEsquire_ It will….

@Harbiola0709 SMA still reads, he retired 20 years ago.

@PiousGeek This has been my routine for about a year now.

@Abubaka41965675 Money/fame is what determine “principal” now.

My toxic trait is that I act on instructions, every time. If you ask me to do A, I’ll continue to do it until you ask me to stop. You can’t request me to do A, then expect me to do B. My head is too full to add extra stress 😂

@PiousGeek Amin. Funny thing is the predecessors did all that is possible to reverse the trend …

@Abdul_Ajikobi That’s surprising … Mine has been serving for a while now, but if not that I’m already committed to six month … I would have switched to MTN as well.( it’s faster)

@PiousGeek He’s my favorite new find…..

We’re yet to produce a sincere Hadith scholar like Sheik Jabata in Ilorin. If you don’t live in Ilorin, please don’t come and argue with me abeg 😩

Back to the farm….

If your job ends tomorrow, what skill do you have that someone would gladly pay for? That question is uncomfortable, but everyone with a 9 to 5 should answer it honestly.

there is no perfect person, and there is no perfect spouse. i think one of the secrets to a successful marriage is truly understanding this. you know your person. you know their flaws, their weaknesses, their annoying habits, the parts of them that are "difficult to live with". and sometimes, after years of trying, you may have to accept that certain things about them may never completely change. maybe your spouse is forgetful, so you learn to remind them without turning every forgotten thing into a character indictment "you never pay attention", "you're always forgetful". maybe they are not naturally expressive, a little stubborn, slow to make decisions, or simply wired very differently from you. marriage cannot survive if two people are constantly trying to remodel each other into their own image of the perfect spouse. when you say you love someone, it means you know that person has a weakness and you choose not to weaponise it against them. loving them is knowing what "irritates" you about them and learning which things genuinely need to change, which things require patience, and which things you simply need to make room for. again, you will not find a flawless person. and if you spend your marriage fighting every imperfection in your spouse, you may eventually destroy something good in pursuit of something that does not exist. forget what people yap about nowadays. in marriage, you must be an understanding partner. advise them with kindness where change is necessary, but also learn to accommodate the harmless imperfections that come with being human. thank you!

Your dues are in one place. Your CPD is somewhere else. Your practice licence is on a third platform. Your directory profile is on a fourth. To get a letter of good standing, you visit two portals and wait three days. For a document that should take five minutes. The NBA
