THE EDITOR’S SPARK

Hi Friends,

High Court Igbosere was agog with rather strange, even bizarre news that the Judiciary’s Resource Centre located at the Old Senate Building at the Tafawa Balewa Square was home to native fetish rituals of palm-oil and “akara” balls last week Monday. To make it more intriguing, the stories had it that the perpetrator of the fetish practice was none other than Honourable Justice W.A.E Ayo, the head of the Resources Centre.

But, how true are these stories? Please go to our Cover Story and discover our findings. CLICK HERE TO READ: http://www.squibcoverstory.blogspot.com/

We have three contributors this week. The first, rather surprisingly is our Mr. Olusegun Adara, the Chief of Production. This piece entitled: The Case of the Fighting Judge, is to say the least thought provoking.

The second contributor - ‘Professor’ Ademola Adewale needs no introduction to regular Squibbers. The chronic writer sent in two articles, the first is entitled “Amaechi v. Omehia - Another Land Mark Decision” while the second is entitled “The Waiting Game.” As usual they are not only informative but educative.

The third contributor is Olawale Akoni, Esq. S.A.N. The silk presented a paper titled: “A CRITICAL APPRAISAL OF THE LAGOS STATE MAGISTRCY; CHALLENGES & CONSTRAINTS OF MAGISTRATES IN THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE” at the “One –Day stake holders summit” organized by the Lagos State Ministry of Justice, with the Theme of “Magistracy & Justice Sector Reform” An Appraisal of the First level of Justice in Lagos State.

The summit took place on Wednesday 13th November 2007. The silk’s paper came to us and is hereby presented to the “whole world” in this edition.

Save for the cartoons and Book Excerpts, all your other Sweet Regulars, (http://www.learnedsquib.blogspot.com/ ; http://www.squiblogg.blogspot.com/ ) are so to say, in the house. You will enjoy them. I am sure.

Well until when next the parliament opens, do not take it easy. Don’t carry your music to the grave. Give life your best shots. The Heavens Will Not Fall!
