EMELIFONWU PIUS BLOG

 My jewel of inestimable value is a year older today and I just cannot pretend, it is not worth celebrating. Patricia Omotoke Emelifonwu from Awe in Oyo State. She stole my heart at St Mary's Catholic Church Isolo. Then I was a chorister and I remember being told her dad of Blessed memory had to inquire from members of the choir about my suitability. I think I passed the test, because I was in good standing with those from whom, he inquired. I am happy, I passed the test, otherwise there would have been no need to write this piece. Aladukemi, like I call her is a woman of many parts fit for my foibles. She is tough and tender, fierce and feeble but above all, the one I am very pleased to pass off as my wife. My wish for her is that she keeps being there for the kids and I till death do us part.

                      Femi Falana, SAN Femi Falana SAN, is no doubt a sound Lawyer. It is on record that he once contested for Governorship of Ekiti State but lost. What I do not understand about him is his inconsistency on issues. I know, it is said that Law is flexible. This should not explain why Femi Falana, SAN would take one stance today on an issue and tomorrow he is turning 360 degrees. It is often said, that no man is a saint, but Femi Falana has so far not been found out to follow the highest bidder. Sometime ago, the highly respected Lawyer of Blessed memory, Rotimi Williams, SAN, drafted a Finance  bill for the Joseph Wayas led National Assembly. Then Bendel State, challenged the Bill in court and leading their Legal representation was non other than Rotimi Williams. Joseph Wayas gave him the full length of his tongue. There were more like that from the late Legal icon, but this piece is about Femi Falana. Not too long ago, it was discovered, that in the past he had argued
