Bamidele Aturu (16th October 1965 – 9th July 2014), A Man Larger Than Life.

As man trembles at the sight of your shadows, save your pride, your rage is relief and your captivity is freedom, death woe unto you, for the finest of men have breached your bounds, feasting in your lair and basking in the shadow of your terror, and now to all those still grieving, save your sympathy, wipe your tears, this is not another dirge for Bamidele Aturu, he ridiculed life’s vicissitudes to stand out as a valiant lawyer of rare courage and uncommon discipline, championing the pursuit of justice and equity for sufferers of our nations socio-economic cum political impunity, he was undoubtedly an agent of transformation as he had a unique perspective on how to empathically intermediate professionally with dedication and selflessness. As remarked by a renowned lawyer, Bamidele posed as one of the most dependable, genuine, principled, focused, pragmatic, disciplined and knowledgeable comrade of his generation, he stood for the common man sucked in the vortex of interlocking vicious cycle of poverty, he gallantly put on their albatross through all of his struggle in his quest for a better nation place till his death, as life by itself chose to stay in her default state of dystrophy denying itself of his rehabilitative contribution.
In 1987, as a boy of 22years you recognized oppression early in life, he resisted dictatorship damning the consequences to ridicule life’s ambit, an advocate of absolute supremacy of law over the leader and the led, the rich and the poor, the master and slave. A game changer, against all odds he tirelessly struggled through the obvious pressure for survival in this nation, his unwavering stance on integrity carved a niche for him among folks in the legal profession, all his life was dedicated to the course of legal equity, fought judicial impunity and died in the line of legal contention, his immense contribution cannot be overemphasized, as his treadwheel rolls down the hills of history. Bamidele Aturu challenged status quo, he had a clear vision of his call of duty his emotional intelligence was legendary and so far, his prognostication was as good as it was pronounced, 1n 2014 before his demise he was selected as a delegate to the national conference which he rejected ceremoniously, his instinct perceived another ineffectual indaba.
Dear comrade as I converse here there are many issues still lurking unresolved there are many things to say, the last government you witnessed is now unseated after they boasted they will govern for the next fifty years, now terrorism rages at full blast, people dying in mass and frequent bloodshed flows unabated, it has not fared any better than you left it, the economy heading for doom, our financial system has collapsed, public workers’ salaries remains unpaid for ten months, corruption thrives on every facet of the nation state, impunity reigns as criminals walk away unpunished, the innocent suffering unjustly, the general situation has not considerably improved.
Comrade lawyer, do not get heartbroken if your spirit happens to hover on this piece wherever it is displayed, I implore you to be of good cheer, you have fought a good fight, every drop of your sweat, tears and blood shed for the remission of our national transgression, shall speak for generations to come, though life chose to be unfair and biased to this our very special own, Bamidele ideologically reinvented himself for life lopsided crises, like minded Nigerians are so proud of you, your good works still lurk on the lips of those you impacted in a way or manner, the nation owes you immense appreciation for these your giant strides and how best can they express their gratitude?, than to improve on your legacy, embrace your value system, and by upholding the truth clad with the garment of love, affection for one another, love for our nation, as there is no challenge confronting Nigeria that is insurmountable, the recipe for our progress lies within our collective resolve to actualize the manifestation
As death is no respecter of sacrifice, you remain a national hero immortalized in specimens, you will fondly be remembered by the oppressed, and same is expected living in the memory of men and women you directly impacted, though a brief but eventful one, life was threatened by your size, death did the worst, but I contend valour is superior to death.

Folks describe GEJ in one sentence

vivian chinaza:

Ok, I'm assuming she is already known his name..................and they have been gisting.
1. Start with what he likes and dislikes. E.g, do you drink? Do you play chess? Menh work these days is hectic, how do you unwind? Bla bla bla.........
3. Talk about education and then ask him where he graduated from.
2. Joke about his "imaginary" girlfriend then come out straight and ask him!

The clue, whatever she wanna ask him, she should begin a conversation about that.

Q.1&2
these are typical interview question
Q3 still is a good discuss
you are on point.

vivian chinaza:

Still a wrong move!!!!!!!

Asking a guy a personal question once in a while is not being desperate.

Drop three personal questions here that will cure the curiosity of the OP on this guy state of mind
1.?
2.?
3.?

vivian chinaza:

Wrong move! Too soon!


Baby, hang out with him first (it could be in his car, strolling etc, don't talk much about you. Find what he likes and talk about it. Just throw in some personal question once in a while..................don't be too much in a hurry ok.

Just be his friend first!

that seems desperate too i am a guy, ladies asking personal question seems cheap and unwanted.. she has every natural instinct to be desperate, use my tactics just act u were just following him unemotionally do not force it but if he stops you from accompanying him then he's not proud of you in taste and preference

miekova:

yeah am afraid so.. ouch but that would hurt me anyway i wish there was a way i could find out how he feels about me without asking

here is a good way to know how he feels about you....try accompanying him to his house act like you are just strolling with him, if he drives go home with him... guyz say their mind when they feel at home, but you must be careful he might be a molester, activate ur brains

Guys are very funny people, you may feel he's just like every guy that need whatever, but it may also just be a normal affair and he sees no reason to get your number. he may like you but just not that special kinda like that bring close ties..

The incompetence of the president has never being this evident as it is. Dr. jonathan govt is a mistake and he will be our last mistake. AMEN

Ibanga p: Akpos: madam make we do somtin na,
widow: no its too early am stil mournin my husband nd its jus 3 days now.
Akpos: Dats y am wearin a black condom, jus open ur legs nd accept my condolence. . Anyway madam, sorry 4ur loss but no time is too soon, u nid 2 move on.

how old are u please?

chigurl: I am a Nigerian American. Born in Nigeria to igbo parents moved here at the age of 13. I have attended high school and college and currently in the workforce. I left the state of Ohio to move to NJ to be closer to my family. while in Ohio i go involved with an older black american man. First of all he is 34yrs older than me. I wont say he wasn't nice to me because he was but he insisted on marrying me even with the large age difference between us. He now explained that if he never married me that he was going to find another Nigerian woman to marry. Meanwhile this was the man saying that all his money went toward me throughout our relationship. This man has been married and has grown up children residing in the state of Texas. I refused to marry him and refused to sign a prenujp. He did give me some gifts but i told him that my culture does not allow me to marry men who is my fathers age and really we do not mix with black americans as you guys are just that Americans and will never go to Africa with us. I told him to go and marry someone who is from the Yoruba Tribe or Hausa Tribe since he insists on a Nigerian. I am sure there are thousands of Yoruba women who wants a man who is 34yrs their senior and who are willing to sign a prenup for marriage. I just want to know if there are any igbo men out there in Philadelphia, NJ or NYC. I am back in the market and i am getting older and looking to settle down with the right person. If you have a wife back in Nigeria please de not respond. I am very educated and hold a good job. Thanks and have a wonderful evening you all.

@chigurl lets relate, its kinda important my email; yemmy56@yahoo.com

i understand how uneasy u feel about the whole drama but the only one question is how do define your own love? is it love based on past happy memories of your current fiancee or qualities which u feel he has? the new man in the picture may also be likable later, so i will advise you to do a thorough background check on the new man and weigh the cost and benefit of your choice on the scale of future uncertainties

jstringz: Well it dependz on d angle u lukin @ it from. Diamond payz 165k, zenith payz 109k. Zenith is however d most capitalised bank in Nigeria presently. With GTB reviewing their pay structure and firstbank payin above 200k, am sure they will be considering reviewing their pay structure as well which might likely top diamond. Itz a tough call bt I fink zenith is more respected cause they aint retail banking oriented.

Team otedola was just awarded a penalty for A technical foul/blackmail, it is a goalllllll
otedola -4
farouk - 0

The billionaire businessman appeared before the committee but he refused to testify, submitting in a terse speech that he would only do so if the session would be broadcast live on a national television where Nigerians and the media could watch him.

After 120 minutes behind closed doors, Chairman of the Committee, Mr. Gambo Musa, told journalists, “Unfortunately, he (Otedola) was misguided, either by his lawyer or some people not to talk to us. We did all we could to explain our powers under the constitution (1999), but Otedola refused to answer questions.

“He said that he would do so only in public. He went further to insult us in one way or another but we allowed him.”

Musa added, “We reminded him of the consequences of not answering our questions. We even asked him to produce whatever evidence he submitted to the SSS and the police as proof but he refused.

“How do you solve a problem when someone refuses to talk? He refused to answer our questions and he insulted us; it was very stupid of him because he was just laughing.

“He said he was a businessman and not hungry like us. Are we hungry? Is anyone hungry here?”
