Run, if possible, faster than your normal pace. Your sense of urgency will decline with time. And then you start to settle, pinning it on the outcome of fate. You are unlikely to be an outlier, so exert all energy since you have it in abundance. If you feel it now, do it.
Saw @mrfestusogun’s WhatsApp status and I have been laughing so hard.😂
Festus made a post of his appearance in court with his colleague. In the caption of that post, he eulogized the colleague and described the colleague as “his best friend at the bar”. Apparently, the colleague works in the office.
In the next post, Festus posted where the colleague responded to the eulogy post saying “F.O I cannot work overnight o😂”.
I am guessing oga was trying to lay proper foundation but the associate caught it.😂 Very cool stuff!!
Saw @NwagbaraIzuchuk’s video playing football in China. He made very two deadly assists and I thought to myself, he might be a better footballer than Rashford if properly equipped. You will know he actually understands what football is all about with the game play.
You see that respect you were accorded because you are a lawyer - it is the same way you will be accorded respect abroad. Almost anywhere you travel to. Everyone subtly adjusts the moment they become aware and you don’t even need to be qualified there. That is the kind of prestige that comes with the profession globally. And maintaining that status quo should be every lawyer’s goal.
It is why I will not extend grace to any lawyer who consistently conducts himself like an Mc Oluomo publicly. You can only be one - either a lawyer or Mc Olumo. But if you think you want to be Mc Oluomo as a lawyer and reap the benefits of the profession, I will strongly oppose you.

Looking through my old emails, I saw that I wrote TOEFL in 2003 at Abagbon close in Victoria Island for my study abroad application.
My parents knew nothing about the process, we just had some egbon adugbos and Google.
No social media.
Facebook started in 2004
Youtube 2005
Twitter 2006
You need extra grit as a poor young African.
Your journey is full of turbulence, but with the right guidance, you go make am.
Bro, nothing has made me laugh today like Galatasaray’s fans crashing out. I really don’t know Barca did to them. Lmao
What a guy! All the best with this, my bro.
Today we're launching useABI, an associate built for M&A teams.
In under three years as an M&A associate at Greenberg Traurig in New York, I worked on 45+ deals worth $15bn+. On deal after deal, the client wanted to move faster and the best partners I worked with wanted to take on more. I started useABI to give M&A teams the capacity to do both, especially when the stakes are high and the timeline is tight.
useABI gives every lawyer on the deal an associate their firm owns and teaches. You brief it the way you'd brief a midlevel associate, and it works the deal with your team from the seller's draft to closing, in your firm's own positions and drafting style. Your lawyers review every piece before it goes to a client.
useABI is being deployed at a leading AmLaw 100 firm. Starting today, M&A lawyers can request access at useabi.ai, and clients can request access for their attorney on the same page.
Thank you to @bobambrogi for covering our launch on LawSites this morning (link in the first comment), to my co-founder @F_I_L_S, and to every lawyer who has given us their time and honest feedback this year.
Do more M&A. useABI.

Independent thinking matters. Even when you’re wrong, you can understand where your reasoning went wrong. Rather than simply moving on to the next popular opinion.

There’s a lot to be said for developing independent, well-thought-out and grounded views on issues. Too often, I see opinions that contradict principles the same people have previously accepted.
Rashford played a whole season with the most talented football players on earth. He came back to Old Trafford and became even worse. How can you be so interested in running aimlessly?

Faithy, I agree entirely. But what you describe should concern every lawyer, not only those who aspire to the rank. The Rules of Professional Conduct bind every legal practitioner, from the newly called to the most senior silk; adherence is not a qualification for SAN but a condition of practice. Colleagues selling their souls here for cheap publicity will pay for it eventually. Everything counts. This is the same pool from which our future judges, State Attorneys-General and AGFs will emerge. As a practising lawyer, your public life will always be under scrutiny. We must be measured.
In a few years, a new generation of lawyers who have used social media, including this platform, either responsibly or irresponsibly, will apply to be conferred with the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria.
In the legal profession, that includes ensuring that the additional prestige reserved for exceptionally distinguished practitioners is not conferred without proper regard to character, professional ethics and personal conduct.
