BA LAW PERSONALITY OF THE MONTH

CAN WE MEET YOU :
My name is Ezenwa Nestor Ibegbunam. Hails from Orlu, Imo State. I was a law graduate of the University of Nigeria, and after that, I attended the Nigerian Law School, Enugu Campus and was called to the Nigerian Bar in 2010. Did my NYSC in Kano State, where I was posted to the Chambers of C.A. Adolor & Co. Ever since then, has been inactive law practice, first with the Chambers of Olumide Ayeni & Co from 2011 to 2015; before joining B. Ayorinde & Co (now BA Law LLP) in 2015 till date.
FIRST COURT APPEARANCE:
My first Court appearance was in a criminal matter before a Magistrates Court in Kano while serving as a Corp member. Like every beginner, it was not very pleasing to me as I was thoroughly frightened and had to memorize what to say in advance. But in the end, I only succeeded in obtaining an adjournment due to the absence of the Prosecutor; instead of applying for the striking out of the Charge for lack of diligent prosecution based on the hint of the Court which I did not take.
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU ARE NOT A LAWYER:
Apart from law practice, I have a particular interest in football. I like playing football with my friends or watching my favourite club, FC Barcelona. I also enjoy hanging out with friends and meeting new people.
HOW DOES YOUR DAY BEGIN:
My day begins with supplications to God and, after that, reconsidering my daily tasks to see how best to meet up with functions.
WHAT ASPECT OF LAW DO YOU LOVE:
I am particularly attracted to Constitutional Law for the simple reason that it sets the framework for governmental powers, civil rights and liberties; and also defines the role, influence and structure of the State.
IF NOT LAW, WHAT ELSE:
Politics and business.
HOLIDAY DESTINATIONS:
I love seeing the countryside of Northern Nigeria and the mangrove of Southern Nigeria such as Oguta and Obudu and the coastal towns of Calabar and Oron.
ADVICE FOR YOUNG LAWYERS:
Young lawyers should know that success in the legal profession comes with obligations such as dedication to work, diligence, and honesty to the Court and Client.
Itís difficult to find educated people in this particular topic, however, you seem like you know what youíre talking about! Thanks
