Dear Nkereuwem Udofia Akpan, Esq, sir, with due respect, please try and calm down to understand what is in issue, before you begin to write ✍ so that you don’t focus on complete irrelevancies as is seen in your article under reference.
The issue in the Baddest lawyer trending discussion is whether a lawyer who is not in law practice is at liberty to engage in conduct unbecoming of a lawyer, conduct incompatible with the status of a lawyer.
In your article, you’re busy discussing whether a lawyer can engage in other trades or businesses — with due respect, such is completely irrelevant, having absolutely nothing to do with the issue being discussed in re Ifunanya, the Baddest lawyer.
For your information, sir, neither NBA nor any Nigerian lawyer has argued that Ifunanya does not have the right to engage in other trade or business other than law practice. Indeed, no one is interested in whether she is a model, musician or anything. All that the NBA and lawyers are concerned about is, whatever trade or business she’s engaged in, because she’s a lawyer, she must not engage in conduct unbecoming of a lawyer or conduct incompatible with her status as a lawyer.
I have a question for you, learned friend: is going stark naked and advertising it to the world part of modelling or singing or other businesses?
In the case of Ifunanya the Baddest Lawyer, she is alleged to have posted online photos and videos of herself naked/nude without any clothes at all — not even pants or bra. Absolutely naked!!!! And you’re comparing her to Kenneth Okonkwo, Falz, etc.
Please, my humble advice is, go back and read the NBA’s allegations against the baddest lawyer, and thereafter re-write your article to focus your opinion on the issues at stake, and not on the irrelevant issues you’re discussing.
Thank you🙏
Respectfully,
Sylvester Udemezue (udems)
