HISTORY OF THE SAN TITLE

It started with the British legal tradition: During the colonial period, Nigeria's legal profession followed the British model. Outstanding Nigerian lawyers could be appointed King's Counsel (KC) or, after Queen Elizabeth II's accession, Queen's Counsel (QC). These lawyers were regarded as members of the Inner Bar, distinguishing them from ordinary barristers at the Outer Bar.

Then, Nigeria became independent in 1960 and a republic in 1963. Because KC/QC was a title associated with the British Crown, Nigeria eventually moved toward creating its own indigenous professional rank. The QC designation was no longer appropriate for new Nigerian appointments after the country became a republic.

The Legal Practitioners Act of 1975 later created the SAN rank. Section 5 of the Act provided the statutory basis for conferring the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria and established the Legal Practitioners' Privileges Committee (LPPC) to oversee the conferment.

The first SANs were appointed in 1975. The rank was first conferred on 3 April 1975 on two of Nigeria's most distinguished lawyers: Chief Frederick Rotimi Alade Williams (F.R.A. Williams) and
Dr Nabo Graham-Douglas.
They therefore became Nigeria's first Senior Advocates of Nigeria.

The title was called "Senior Advocate" reflecting the idea of recognising lawyers who had achieved exceptional distinction in advocacy and legal practice. It was essentially Nigeria's indigenous equivalent of the British Queen's Counsel system. SANs became members of the Inner Bar and acquired certain professional privileges, including the right to wear the distinctive silk gown.

The title is not simply an award for being an old lawyer. The rank is intended to recognise distinguished professional achievement, rather than merely years in practice. Under the statutory framework, candidates must satisfy prescribed requirements and are selected through a process. The modern framework also sets eligibility requirements concerning years of qualification and professional standing.

It took six years before a woman received the rank. Chief (Mrs.) Folake Solanke became the first female Senior Advocate of Nigeria in 1981, an important milestone in the history of women in Nigeria's legal profession.

Hahaha, hypocrite of the highest order.
The ongoing ethnic friction between the Ibibio and the Oro is far from a spontaneous outbreak of local grievances it is actively bankrolled and sustained by the Ibibio political elites that's made up of over 60% of the state government cabinet.
It takes a remarkable level of patronizing indifference for Governor Pastor Umo Eno to pretend this situation is beyond his control. As an Ibibio son and the state’s chief executive, he holds absolute administrative power to call his kinsmen to order and put an immediate end to this hostility. Yet, he chooses deliberate silence, offering nothing more than empty rhetoric and hypothetical platitudes while refusing to take a single meaningful action to resolve the crisis. If he honestly believes he can shelter beneath political immunity indefinitely, his grasp on political reality is far more fragile than his office suggests.
This strategy of state-backed expansionism is hardly novel. His predecessor, UDOM Emmanuel, established the blueprint by diverting state funds to fabricate an artificial state map designed specifically to validate Ibibio territorial encroachments on ancestral Oro land. Redrawing boundary lines on paper may flatter the egos of the political establishment, but administrative arrogance cannot rewrite history, nor will it permanently erase the legitimate territorial rights of the Oro people.

The day Buba Marwa showed Lagosians he could die for them.

In 1996 Buba Marwa, as the military governor of Lagos, ate roadside akara to publicly prove to Lagos residents that it was safe.

Weeks earlier, a gang of thieves had invaded a Lagos warehouse, looted bags of beans that had been treated with pre-planting chemicals, and sold them at cheaper rates.

In early September, seven people in Agege died after eating the beans. Or at least that's how the rumour went.

The fear of poisonous beans quickly spread beyond Lagos to Abeokuta, Ifo, and Ibadan. Families stopped buying beans, and sellers of akara and moin-moin saw their businesses collapse.

For many Nigerians, beans—a cheap, vital source of protein—suddenly felt like a death trap.

By mid-September, 15 deaths had been linked to the killer beans. News outlets reported that over ₦400 million worth of beans remained unsold that month.

The government had to do something to end the panic. On September 23, 1996, the state governor stopped at a roadside akara stall in Ketu, bought the popular beans cake, and ate in front of an anxious crowd. His message? The beans were safe.

It turned out there was a different explanation for why people were dying, and it had nothing to do with armed robbers looting a beans warehouse.

Investigations revealed the deaths in Agege were caused by cholera, traced to contaminated water from a burst pipe. The government quickly vaccinated residents and repaired the pipe.

Marwa's stunt did not instantly erase the fear, but it marked the beginning of the end of the killer beans scare of 1996.

Meet Shade Thomas, the first Nigeria professional fashion designer

In the early 1960s, Shade Thomas-Fahm returned from London as the first Nigerian woman with a professional qualification in fashion design. She went on to establish Maison Shade, a pioneering fashion house that quickly became a vibrant hub for innovative design and creativity.

Archivi reports that with bold vision, she reimagined traditional attire like the iro and buba for a new era, adding zippers, shaping silhouettes, and introducing the pre-tied gele, all tailored to the life of the modern Nigerian woman. Her designs, crafted from fabrics such as aṣọ-òkè, àdìrẹ, akwete, and okene, brought indigenous textiles into contemporary style and onto global runways. Ready-to-wear lines from her label reached beyond Lagos, landing on shelves at Kingsway Stores and capturing international attention.

NEWS UPDATE:

The Southern Kaduna Youths and Students Forum (SKYSFOM) has condemned the El-Rufai family’s demand that Defence Minister Christopher Musa provide evidence or apologise over allegations concerning former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai.

In a statement signed by its President, Prince Edward Kazachiang Marcus, the group said the people of Southern Kaduna had not forgotten what it described as the “inhumanity” and marginalisation they allegedly experienced during El-Rufai’s administration.

The group said it was troubled by the family's demand for evidence, arguing that the actions and policies of the former governor’s administration remained fresh in the memories of many residents.

SKYSFOM accused the former administration of lacking inclusiveness and alleged that Christians and people from Southern Kaduna were treated unfairly.

The group also raised concerns over several controversial incidents during El-Rufai’s tenure, including the death of an Adara traditional ruler, the demolition of churches and residential buildings, and alleged disobedience of court orders.

Marcus said comments and actions attributed to El-Rufai during his eight years as governor had been publicly documented and could not simply be erased from public memory.

The group insisted that supporters of the former governor should not attempt to rewrite the history of his administration, maintaining that Southern Kaduna people still remember their experiences during the period.

The statement comes amid an ongoing controversy over comments attributed to Defence Minister Christopher Musa, who allegedly accused El-Rufai of involvement in the planning of killings in Southern Kaduna. The El-Rufai family has demanded evidence to support the allegation or a public apology.

As Head of State in the 1970s, General Olusegun Obasanjo effectively banned the use of Mercedes-Benz as official government cars for some reasons:

1. To cut cost and extravagance at a time Nigeria was trying to promote discipline and reduce waste in public spending. Obasanjo believed government officials should avoid unnecessary luxury.

2. After the a$$assinat!on of Murtala Mohammed in 1976, the new military leadership emphasized austerity and anti-c0rruption. Flashy official cars were viewed as symbols of elite excess and detachment from ordinary Nigerians.

3. The policy was meant to encourage local industry. During that period, Nigeria had assembly plants like Peugeot Automobile Nigeria (PAN) in Kaduna and Volkswagen of Nigeria in Lagos. Officials were encouraged to use Peugeot and Volkswagen models assembled in Nigeria to boost local manufacturing and conserve foreign exchange.

4. There was the need for foreign exchange conservation

However, Mercedes-Benz gradually returned as Nigeria’s dominant official car brand from the 1980s onward due to a mix of political, economic, and practical reasons, some of which included:

1. Decline of local assembly plants. By the mid-1980s, economic cris!s and the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) under Ibrahim Babangida weakened the local industries. There was a scarcity of foreign exchange, poor maintenance culture, declining production capacity and inconsistent spare parts supply.

As local plants struggled, government officials began reverting to fully imported vehicles.

2. Mercedes-Benz as a brand had already built a reputation as durable, comfortable, suitable for rough roads and a symbol of authority. Military leaders and top civil servants preferred the brand because it projected prestige and strength. Over time, it became almost synonymous with official power.

By the time Olusegun Obasanjo returned as civilian president in 1999, Mercedes-Benz was already entrenched again in government fleets.
Subsequent administrations continued the trend, making it the default official vehicle.
