Most lawyers aside from their salaries make loads of money through appearance fees paid by clients. Despite the directive by the NBA that all lawyers must boycott the court sessions for 2 days starting from today, some recalcitrant lawyers who refused to comply with the NBA directive were chased out of Enugu magistrate court premises by an enforcement team of the state branch of NBA. Unfortunately, that some states in northern Nigeria decided not to comply with the boycott even when chairmen of those state chapters were present at the meeting where the decision was reached at in Abuja is worrisome.

Buhari and members of the Presidential Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had today Jan. 29 visited Imo state in continuation of the nationwide re-election campaign.

So I took a ride with one of the waste management team truck drivers ASEPA in my state in Abia state, while on my visit to one of the prisons in the state. Haha! I didn't know him but I told him to stop that i wanted to take a ride with him, he obliged and we had an awesome conversation. In the cause of our discussion, he was indeed impressed with Governor and lauded the infrastructural strides of Dr. Ikpeazu. According to him, if all former Governors had done a little of what the Governor had done, Abia State would have been a better state than it is today. I asked him if he had his PVC and was ready to vote, he confirmed that he has gotten his own. I followed him to pick the dirts and to the dump site, hey, my state is safe so no fears. Watch the video which is coming up in bits. Do the maths.

Unfortunately, he was reported and Twitter has deactivated his account. How then could this wicked boy be found? It is not just about deactivating the account but finding a means at getting to this criminal. So sad.
