 From leadership, to mentorship, court room advocacy, public speaking, human relations, internship and branding to mention (but) a few, these were the antecedents for this year's iLearn virtual college of the Justice Udo Udoma Chamber,
an innovation poised with strengthening the academic footings and personal development of individuals even outside the classroom.

Being maiden the Chairman Board of trustees, Mkpoikanna Nsikak Aniefiok MBOHO, SAL in his address stated thus,

"I cannot but express my thankfulness to God and surely my joy. Having borne the dream to establish an arm of the Chambers that would cater for the lifelong need of enlightenment and education, we had put all hands to work to ensure that that dream was given physicality and activeness. And today, we can boast of the reality of this dream."


One highlights of the program included the Inaugural service which took place on the 18th of April, tutees got to familiarize between themselves, members of the board of trustees and the ILearn team, followed swiftly was the launching of the info-brochure an insight into the calender, structure, and courses for this year's college.




The first lecture which officially begun on
Monday, 20th of April had Busola Ajala, a business savvy and founder strictly law business, a law premier academy founded to teach and train lawyers on law business management during lectures said most lawyers do not believe that the LEGAL INDUSTRY is a business industry like other industries which absence of this knowledge has deprived us from exploring the businessman approach in our legal practice. She further made mention of branding being very essential as legal sales personnel.


Also, Barr. Grace Kalu a first class graduate of the Nigerian Law school and owner Swift careers, a graduate of the host institution took on human relations where soft skills like communication, cooperation, empathy, understanding temperament amongst others are inevitable to one's progression.

DENIAL

BY JESAM IBIANG Life often presents us with circumstances that challenge our core, moments where the ground beneath us seems to crumble. It is in these instances of profound hurt, overwhelming challenge, or urgent need for help that we frequently encounter denial. Denial is not merely ignoring a problem; it’s a profound, internal choice to cling to “what is not,” even when we know, deep down, the stark reality of “what is.” The truth is, there is no shame in acknowledging vulnerability or fear. Denial is a form of fear and it is often difficult to acknowledge fear. Denial, blurs the truth, offering a distorted lens through which to view our circumstances. I am not saying that denial is altogether a terrible thing. Denial is not inherently malicious. It serves a primal, protective function. Imagine the immediate aftermath of a sharp cut—a knife or a machete. For a few crucial seconds, there’s a numbness, a strange void before your brain registers the trauma and sends in the searing pain...

ANOTHER CAUTIONARY TALE

BY KAMSI MAFO Her head rests on his lap. His hand runs through her hair. She looks at him, a smile on her face. He seems not to notice, his brow furrowed with thought. She reaches up and touches his cheek lightly and his face lightens. "What smart thing are you thinking now?" she asks. He laughs gently, his baritone voice causing a vibration at the back of her neck that makes her tongue tingle. "Bits and pieces, here and there… nothing much," he responds. She looks at him funnily. "A funny anecdote or a paradox? Perhaps it's another story about another mad man," she says, laughing too. There’s a bit of quiet, and the only sound they hear is the night. "Tell me one of them," she says. "One of your stories." He smiles and tells her that it's not as easy as she thinks. "It comes and goes… like a whisper in the wind," he tells her. "There's a lot of breeze about," she responds. "Listen—perhaps it'll ...

LOSING HUMANITY

 BY TREASURE EKANEM “I think I’m losing faith in humanity.”  I get too engrossed in the things I do sometimes, and my roommates and friends have gotten used to repeating statements before I get to hear them. So, when I looked up at Sandy, the look on her let me know that she had made that statement to me more than once. I was piqued cause Sandy is one of the few friends I have that wholeheartedly lets me be the talker. She doesn’t voice out her thoughts and issues words sparingly. I knew whatever made her come all the way to my bed to say this must have burdened her a lot. So, I put my PC down, and asked, “Why do you think so?” No one truly loves any more. No one truly cares any more. No one gives selflessly anymore. No one trusts wholeheartedly anymore. We hate ourselves and we let it show in everything we do. We have become so self absorbed that as far as a concern doesn’t directly affect us, we wouldn’t care if it all goes to hell. We are so consumed in our own interests th...
