The objective is to make the lawyer sound profound beyond even their own understanding The objective is to make the lawyer sound profound beyond even their own understanding and it is immaterial that the speaker, like the person whom he or she seeks to impress, understands absolutely nothing of what they say.
So it was that the “Common Law” evolved. As they travelled around the world on an imperial mission of adverse territorial expansion centuries later, the British exported the methods of the Common Law around their acquisitions. They left it behind as a colonial legacy when they beat their final retreat in the decades after the Second World War.
On April 17, 2024, for instance, Usman Na’Abba, a judge of the High Court of Kano State in north-west Nigeria, issued an interim order without the benefit of hearing the side against whom the order was issued requiring Abdullahi Ganduje, national Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress , to “stop parading himself as a party member pending the determination of the suit.
To translate this into language that is presumably intelligible, the judge, having first issued an ex parte order against Ganduje suspending him from claiming to be a member of the political party of which he was national chairman, thereafter, issued another ex parte order against his first order using the second interim order to suspend the effect of the first one.

The only people rendered naked by these happenings are the lawyers whose claim to the discipline of the Common Law method of precedent is now in tatters. Senior Partner at Kreston Pedabo, Killian Khanoba, has warned that the implementation of 0.5 per cent cybersecurity levy on electronic transactions will affect the drive towards financial inclusion and cashless economy in Nigeria.Armed men suspected to have come from Ukwa Community in Cross River at the weekend killed a woman, Mrs Blessing Kalu Elem, and injured others during an alleged invasion of Isu community in Arochukwu Local Council of Abia State.
