THE EDITOR’S SPARK
Hi friends,
In this edition, we strayed just a little out of normal home grounds, if you know what I mean, to the office of the incumbent Commissioner of Police Lagos State, M.D Abubakar to get an interview. As you’ll find out, the straying may not actually be a frolic after all, since the C.P’s views and comments on issues raised with him should not bore any legal practitioner or even any enlightened mind.
We have two guests this week; Mrs. Tejumade Oke and the Squib Professor of Law, Ademola Adewale Esq. Oke, the Director of Centre for the Rule of Law reflects on the rights of women in her write-up while ‘Professor’ Ademola takes a critical look at the role of individuals vis-à-vis institutions in the crusade against corruption in Nigeria.
You do not have a full compliment of your Sweet Regulars (SR) this week. For example the Cartoons are still absent, likewise Book Excerpts, Squib Diary, and Squib Kudos. Nonetheless you will, we trust, find that the remainders of the SR, to wit, Readers’ Pavilion, Monitor, Case Law and The Learned Squib are great compliments to the main items. PLEASE CLICK IN THE BRACKETS BELOW TO READ THEM:

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

Hi friends,
Last week, the NBA Ikeja Branch held the 4th Chief Gani Fawehinmi Annual Lecture. The lecture, a festival to celebrate the ideas and life of Chief Gani Fawehinmi, since inception bears the tag “FAWEHINMIISM”
The Squib however chose to dub the 2008 edition of the Gani festival “RIBADU-HINMIISM.” In case you are curious about this appellation, you’ll do well to go and read our Cover Story.(www.squibcoverstory.blogspot.com)
Starting from this edition, Your ‘Sweet’ Regulars’ gets a new member. This latest member goes by the name ‘SQUIB KUDOS’ and is dedicated to recognizing the positive acts and conduct of the personnel of the Judiciary at any level, as well as those of counsel and litigants.
This we believe, will encourage the continuation and emulation of such positive deeds and attitudes. So, we’ll be glad to hear and read from our dear readers about the “good deeds” of our judges, magistrates, court registrars, counsel etc. (www.squibkudos.blogspot.com)
For this edition, we have the Monitor, Readers’ Pavilion, Case Law, (www.squibcaselaw.blogspot.com) Learned Squib, (www.learnedsquib.blogspot.com),Diary(www.squiblogg.blogspot.com) and SQUIB KUDOS, making the Sweet Regulars.

Hi friends,
Where are my cards, wines, chickens, turkeys, rams (live or roasted), etc? I asked you first, so dear readers should not bother the Squib about their new year gifts. Am I glad to see all of you again in the lawyers' parliament after all these days and weeks of sundry festivities?Well, the New Year is already on the move and things are already happening. Our Cover Story is about the latest silk addition to the Ikeja Bar - Dele Adesina Esq., SAN, particularly, how he, from a struggling background made it to the top of his profession, and still rising.Your Sweet Regulars are not all in the house. The Cartoons, Monitor and Book Excerpts are absent. Please bear with us for this week. But even at half-strength, you'll certainly find your SR quite a delight.While we pray for a prosperous and triumphant year for all men and women of goodwill, we serve notice that your darling Squib will not repent of its hard-hitting and daring style and methods.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!
