Ubani, who is the current Second National Vice President of the Nigeria Bar
Association, wrote: “Truth must be told at all times,
irrespective of whose ox is gored. That Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN) was booed
yesterday at an event organized by NBA Ikeja to celebrate late Chief Gani of
blessed memory was very unfortunate. It is condemnable and clearly
unacceptable. We should not degenerate to that level despite the situation on
ground. Every one accused of crime today in Nigeria is presumed innocent until
the contrary is proved in the court of law and therefore such a defendant is
entitled to be defended by a lawyer of his or her choice.
“That is the current jurisprudence in Nigeria. It is the duty of the
Prosecutor to assemble and marshall his facts and evidence to convince the
court of the guilt of the Defendant and the proof must be beyond reasonable
doubt while the Defendant is entitled to be heard and defended by a lawyer of
his or her choice. That a lawyer should be booed, jeered at because it is
alleged that he defends "corrupt persons" is unacceptable, bad,
uncultured and reprehensible.
“It is not the route for us to go because it will mean criminalizing
a professional duty which we all condemn when doctors are not allowed to treat
armed robbers. Please, please ladies and gentlemen we must not degenerate as a
people, it is a plea. That Ubani chooses tomorrow not to handle matrimonial or
criminal cases, it will be by choice. Chief Ozekhome (SAN) may have his
excesses but he is still a human being and not God. Lawyers should not be made
endangered species in the line of duty biko”
Hmmm!!! Folks, have you ever
imagined how the financial status of your firm will be when more than 20,000
CEOs and other key decision makers of blue-chip corporations pay for your
products and services or even give you very juicy deals. The link below will
tell you more: http://www.tectono-business.com/2015/07/tectono-business-review-in-conjunction_21.html
Have you heard this? Many
Nigerian exporters have been defrauded of huge amount of money in the process
of exporting commodities to foreign countries. Do you know why? They were not
trained on export operations, management, documentations and the best methods
of payment in export trade. This is terrible!!! Nigerians cannot continue to
lose money to foreigners in the course of export business. Exporters, why don’t
you get a practical manual that teaches the stages of export trade from
processing and packaging of commodities to receipt of payment by the foreign
buyers. It teaches export operations, export management, export documentations
and methods of payment in export trade? It is a contemporary step-by-step guide
to export trade. It tells all the contemporary dynamics in export trade. To get
it, click on the link below:
