Supreme Court decision on use of Legal Stamps

SUPREME COURT AFFIRMS THAT FAILURE TO AFFIX NBA STAMP & SEAL ON A LEGAL DOCUMENT RENDERS SUCH LEGAL DOCUMENT INCOMPETENT

In a judgment delivered today in Appeal No. SC/722/15 All Progressives Congress (APC) V. General Bello Sarkin Yaki, the Supreme Court upheld the 2nd Cross-Appellant’s Cross appeal against the decision of the Court of Appeal, Sokoto Division which summarily dismissed the 2nd Cross-Appellant’s preliminary objection which challenged the Appellants’ Notice of Appeal for failure to bear the stamp/seal of the legal practitioner who signed it.

In allowing the appeal the Supreme Court upheld the sole issue formulated by the 2nd Cross-Appellant; ‘Whether the Court of Appeal was right to hold that failure of a legal document to have affixed to it a Stamp/Seal as mandated by rule 10(1) of the rules of professional conduct did not carry with it the consequence of rendering such legal document incompetent’.

A lady worked at a meat distribution factory. One day, when she finished with her work schedule, she went into the meat cold room (Freezer) to inspect something, but in a moment of misfortune, the door closed and she was locked inside with no help in sight.

The One Thousand Naira Note

Two important management lessons I learnt from a 1000 Naira note. 

 1. It happened some time ago but . I was in an audience listening to a motivational speaker. The speaker got out his wallet & pulled out a 1000 Naira note. Holding it up, he asked, "Who wants this 1000 naira note?" Lots of hands went up. Including mine. A slow chorus began to build as people began to shout "Me!" "Me!" I began to wonder who the lucky one would be who the speaker would choose. And I also secretly wondered (and I am sure others did too ) why he would simply give away 1000 naira. Even as the shouts of "I want it" grew louder, I noticed a young woman running down the aisle. She ran up onto the stage, went up to the speaker, and grabbed the 1000 naira note from his hand

Mini-flat / One Bedroom Flat

A Mini-flat apartment refers to an apartment that has a single bedroom. It is also known as a “one-bedroom flat”. Single apartments usually have a full kitchen, either fully apart from the main living room or separated from it by a counter, as well as a dining area, which is typically an extension of the living room.

Self Contained / Studio Apartment

A Self-contained/Studio Apartment unit of accommodation is one which usually consist of a large single main room which acts as the living, dining room and bedroom combined and usually also includes facilities for food preparation, for washing, bathroom and toilet inside it for the exclusive use of the household living within the unit. If the occupiers need to leave the unit to gain access to any one of these amenities then that unit is not aself contained/studio apartment.

A Room Apartment

A Room apartment is one in which the room is separate from other basic needs of a standard apartment, such as the kitchen, toilet and bathroom and doesn't even come with a luxury of a parlour and dining room combined.
