READERS’ PAVILION
SQUIB
The Editor,
I love the Squib very much and you know it. However there are far too many mistakes in the last edition that I read (Vol. 9 No. 5). The mistakes, are editorial and are unpardonable for a magazine of the status of the Squib. You should not supply the fuel to those who want to incinerate you with blunders such as these. You should pay more attention to editorial details to make the magazine error free. If the problem is that you don’t have enough time to do proper editing, you can turn the magazine into a bi-monthly instead of a weekly.

Editor’s Note: - Thanks for your concern, we’ll improve.
NEW SANS
The Editor,
We thoroughly enjoyed your discourse on the New List of Potential Senior Advocates of Nigeria. I agree with your observation that a lot of money is involved in scaling through hurdles. And, of course, connection matters, it is because of connection that you see some children of judges and senior advocates on the list. On their own they are not good even for mention. I believe you know our boss Clement Obi Okwusogu but you didn’t mention or discuss him in your write up.
Editor’s Note: - But it was some gossips at work in that write-up and not me. Well it’ll be nice for Bros Obi to become a S.A.N, I have been told by more than one witness that he is a fine advocate. Besides, that’s one more silk one feels free to horse about with. But he should stop contesting with me, for the attention of pyts especially during NBA Conferences and NEC meetings.
FAKE LAWYERS
The Editor,
The recurrent issue of persons who are not genuine lawyers and undetected for such a long time is another instance of decay in our system. It is high time we re-visited the stamp and seal suggestion made by Mrs. Funke Adekoya SAN some few years ago in addition to signing all legal documents with date of call to the Bar of the Legal Practitioner.
I have already indicated my year of call and admission number on my letter headed papers!
G.O.A Ekisola Esq.
Editor’s Note: - Good idea.

22ND SEPTEMBER 2008 EDITION
THE EDITOR’S SPARK
Hi friends,
Most likely this morning (Monday 22nd September 2008) one Mr. Sampson Abimbola Bamgbose will face a court of law, for among other things, unlawfully practicing the legal profession in Nigeria. The man is not your rum of the mill impostors. For 19 years, Bamgbose has been at his trade, fooling everybody as it were, until nemesis eventually caught up with him.
The story of this clever rogue whose last bus stop is Ikorodu, Lagos makes our cover. It is a story that indicates that there may be many other Bamgboses, even in the upper exhelon of the profession. So cleverly did this fraudster ingrained himself in the profession that the possibility of having even fake judges in our country exist.
The leadership of the Ikorodu Bar which unmasked Bamgbose paid a courtesy visit to the head of the Lagos State Judiciary, His Lordship, the Chief Judge, Adetula Alabi J. in his office on the 18th of September 2008. That visit makes up our Bar & Bench News section of this edition. All your ‘Sweet Regulars’ but two- the Book Excerpts and Art Quake are in the house, talking of the Learned Squib, Squib Society, Art Attack, Monitor, Readers Pavilion, Case-law and Diary. They all are as usual simply ‘squibicious’.
Well, until when next the parliament opens, do not take it easy. Do not take your songs to the grave unsung. Give life your best shots. The Heavens will not fall!
