23-Year-Old Lady Becomes UK’s First Blind Black Barrister

A young woman has end up Britain’s first blind and Black barrister, in an achievement that has been described as ‘truly remarkable.

23-year-old Jessikah Inaba qualified last week after studying for five years at a university in London. She finished her entire course using Braille and also credits her friends as well as her tutors for helping to fill in the gaps.

Jess is absolutely blind and needed to use Braille during her time at the University of Law – London Bloomsbury. She commenced her accelerated law degree in September 2017 before starting a master’s two years later alongside a professional training course.

Braille can be read on a unique display that usually gives one line at a time, or from specially printed books. She said it took seven months for her university to obtain one of her two key study texts so she could read on her computer, and five months for the other.

And, because of pictures and tables in the books, her Braille screen missed huge chunks of material, she said.

She says she got through most of her studies by making her own Braille materials from her lecture notes, or from friends reading books to her.

On her achievement, Jess told Mirror UK: ‘It’s been crazy – I still can’t really believe I’ve done it. One day I’ll wake up and realise how amazing this is.

‘It was difficult and I often thought of giving up, however my supportive family gave me braveness and strength.

‘I always believed in myself from the start – there’s nothing about me which means this isn’t possible.

‘I know I can do this job really well, and the more people like me who go through training the easier it will become.

‘It’s a really excellent feeling, I know I’m giving hope to others in similar situations to mine. There’s a triple-glazed glass ceiling.

I’m not the most common gender or colour, and I have a disability, but by pushing through I’m easing the burden on the next person like me.’

She added that the university organised one-on-one tuition to support her when the lack of books held her back.

Jess said: ‘I was spending more time preparing my own learning materials than I was studying.

CBN Insists it Followed The Law, Due Process for Naira Redesign, Says Exercise is 12 Years Overdue.

Management of the CBN, in line with provisions of section 2(b), section 18(a), and section 19(a)(b) of the CBN Act 2007, had duly sought and obtained the approval of President Muhammadu Buhari in writing to redesign, produce, release and circulate new series of N200, N500, and N1,000 banknotes.

The CBN urges Nigerians to support the currency redesign project, which is in the overall interest of every citizen of the country. The hoarding of significant sums of banknotes outside commercial banks’ vaults should not be encouraged by anyone who means well for the country.

CBN had tarried for too long, considering it had to wait 20 years to carry out a redesign. In contrast, the standard practice globally was for central banks to redesign, produce and circulate new local legal tender every five to eight years.

Ogun State PDP Faction Suspends Governorship Aspirant, Four Others

The Ogun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party on Tuesday, announced the suspension of its governorship aspirant, Hon. Ladi Adebutu, the acting Chairman, Hon. Taiwo Akinlabi, State Secretary, Hon. Sunday Solarin, state publicity secretary, Mr. Akinloye Bankole, and Ogun East senatorial chairman, Arc. Kayode Adebayo, on the ground that they acted in flagrant disobedience of the subsisting court judgement which produced the current executives of the party, thereby, betraying the terms of settlement entered by the two warring factions in the state.

In a statement made available to newsmen in Abeokuta on Tuesday and co-signed by the Financial Secretary and Assistant State Treasurer of the party, Hon. Bola Odumosu, and Mrs. Akibu Oriyomi (a.k.a Irorun) respectively, the party said the suspended members were found guilty of contravening the terms of settlement entered in the consent judgement that birthed the current executives of the party in the state.

Aside that, they were also speculated to have connived with some individuals within the party to control the delegates’ list used in engaging in the primary election of the party in Ogun State which consequently led to the multiple court judgements nullifying the party’s primary elections in the state; a situation that reportedly led to the party not having candidates for the 2023 general election unless the courts come to the rescue of the party.

The statement partly read, “It is a known fact that the current executives of our party in Ogun State are a product of the consent judgement which was obtained after both parties (Adebutu & Kashamu faction) agreed to the terms of settlement.

Clearly, a part of the judgement indicating security of tenure reads that, ‘The parties agree that persons nominated into positions in the Ogun state executive committee in pursuant to these terms of settlement SHALL NOT be REMOVED or SUSPENDED until the expiration of the term of the current Executive Committee of the PDP in Ogun State in April, 2024.

“To our greatest surprise, some lawless individuals gathered themselves to announce the suspension of members in doing the bid of their paymaster. This is totally against the position of the terms of settlement.

“Also, these bad eggs connived with an aspirant of the party to manipulate the delegates’ list used during the primary elections which led to the nullification of all the elections, leaving our party with no candidates as of now, despite the short period to election.

“This is absurd, senseless and unacceptable. We have never had it this bad in the Ogun PDP. They will soon be cited for contempt of court having acted in flagrant disobedience of existing court judgments and orders.

“In the light of the foregoing and having been found culpable of acts capable of threatening the peace and unity of the party, Hon. Ladi Adebutu, Hon. Taiwo Akinlabi, Hon. Sunday Solarin, Mr. Akinloye Bankole & Arc. Kayode Adebayo are hereby suspended for a period of 30 days. They are to appear before the State Disciplinary Committee of the party to explain why their suspension should not translate to expulsion on or before the expiration of the one-month suspension.”
