    There's something so profound, so unfathomably wise, so beautiful and unknowable about speeches by CNA. This is classic Adichie: beautiful, gripping, teaching, without being belittling. Amazing stuff, really

      If it is "unfathomably" wise, then it may not be wise at all - If you cannot fathom it. Basic English language logic. ( English is obviously not your first language )

      You obviously haven't heard about the figure of speech called hyperbole. Used for emphasis, for dramatic description, and the like.
      My advice? Don't come throwing jabs at just anyone on the internet, especially not with a language you clearly do not know well enough.

    When are we going to have a conversation about how helpless and powerless even lawyers are becoming in the face of the state of lawlessness and impunity in the country? And how the NBA as a body is not doing enough to ensure that the ACJA is complied with in each and every police station and at law enforcement agencies like EFCC where they are bent on turning lawyers into fearsome beings who are at the mercy of senseless and high handed law enforcement agents?!
