I want to thank everybody for the short reunion I share with you all.
I have read most of our thoughts ,I have seen our headway and I have shared some thought with you within a short while after so many years .
thank you for complaining about everything i do, making me more head strong.
thanks for showing me how to "not  the tie" amidst of difficulties .
i appreciate you all for never being there for me; making me even more independant, so i know that people won’t always be there for me & i’ll always have myself. thank you for complaining about everything i do, making me more head strong. thank you for leaving me when i needed you the most, so now i know to never expect people to stay with me forever. you make my life a little more easy, because i’m never disappointed anymore. so… thanks.

The First Major Casualty of Section 83 of the Electoral Act 2026 May Have Emerged

Ochili Michael
The recent decision of the Federal High Court in Fubara Dagogo v. All Progressives Congress (APC) & 3 Ors., Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/591/2026 delivered by Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, represents a significant development in Nigeria’s pre-election jurisprudence. In that case, the court struck out the suit challenging the APC National Congress and proceeded to award punitive costs of ₦10 million each against the plaintiff, Mr. Fubara Dagogo, and his counsel, Chief Sir O.A.U. Onyema, for what the court considered a frivolous and non-justiciable action. The court held that the dispute arose purely from the internal congress and nomination processes of the political party and therefore fell outside the jurisdiction of the court by virtue of Section 83(5) of the Electoral Act 2026.  Justice Abdulmalik maintained that there was no allegation or proof of any breach of the Constitution, the Electoral Act, or the party’s constitution and guidelines capable of warranting judicial inte...

Justice Delivery and Prevailing Conflicting Judgments: An Imperative for Urgent Judicial Reforms

Ochili Michael
I had the rare  privilege of participating as a panelist at the Biennial Law Week of the Nigerian Bar Association, Anaocha Branch, Anambra State this weekend,  where distinguished Professors of Law, Justices of various courts, Senior Advocates of Nigeria, and legal scholars gathered to interrogate one of the most pressing challenges confronting the Nigerian judiciary today: "the growing menace of conflicting judgments and the urgent need for judicial reforms". The topic was not only timely but fundamental to the survival of public confidence in the administration of justice. A judiciary that speaks with contradictory voices weakens the rule of law, undermines democratic stability, and erodes citizens’ faith in the courts as impartial arbiters of justice. Conflicting judgments occur when courts of coordinate jurisdiction issue inconsistent decisions on the same subject matter, thereby creating uncertainty and confusion in the legal system. Unfortunately, this distu...

The Value of Legal Practice and the Dignity of the Profession.

Ochili Michael
The statement by that “Do not be a lawyer who charges so low that your clients do not understand the value of the profession” is not merely a comment about legal fees; it is a profound reminder about the dignity, value, and integrity of legal practice. Law is a noble profession built on years of rigorous academic training, discipline, sacrifice, and continuous learning. Every lawyer invests enormous time, resources, and mental energy in acquiring the knowledge and skills required to represent clients effectively. Beyond the years spent in universities and the Nigerian Law School, legal practitioners daily bear the burden of advocacy, research, drafting, negotiations, court appearances, and the responsibility of protecting the rights and interests of clients. Unfortunately, the increasing trend of underpricing legal services has continued to diminish the perceived value of the profession. When lawyers charge excessively low fees merely to attract clients, it sends a dan...

Otu Oka-iwu, Abuja congratulates the Judges of the FCT High Court and Justices of the Court of Appeal sworn in today by the Chief Justice of Nigeria; Hon Justice Ariwoola.

Ochili Michael
The President of Otu-Okaiwu Abuja made the statement as follows; The appointment is commendable because the increase in the number of Judges and Justices will help with the challenges of work load and the time lag it takes to conclude a case in the respective courts.                          Chief Chidi Udekwe,                President of Otu-Okaiwu Abuja. While we felicitate with the appointees, we note that in the FCT High Court, each State is represented at the Bench. However, our attention is drawn to the fact while other states are represented, Ebonyi State has no representation to reflect the federal character system as required in the composition of the Judges of the FCT High Court. Ebonyi State undoubtedly has produced fine legal minds in the country. We are therefore concerned that the state is not represented in the FCT High Court. For fairness and equity, we he...
