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.
