Wow!! From the archives. Mum & Dad surprised me with this memorabilia yesterday. How sweet 🥰🥰
My first job as a professional and my first ever business card. 🤩✨ And boy did I work that thing !! I loved my job. But how could I not with DGB as my Pupil Master. Such a blessing. My family and friends know I talk about it all the time. Been talkin about it. And yes, y’all’s bes’ believe I’ll be talking it. Been 20 years now. Because it was one of the best experiences I have had as a professional.
One thing he instilled as a Pupil Master ?? Confidence in one’s self. DGB will throw you in the deep end, and👏🏾you👏🏾will👏🏾swim👏🏾. One of the days I was in a panic about an upcoming matter. To calm me down and ground me, he told me something so simple and yet so profound, which has been with me in all my years of practice, “We all read the same law books.” So, if you’re read and prepared, you go right in, and you will be ok. It does not matter who or what you’re faced with. Indeed, faced with very Snr. Council from one of the then intimidating Law Firms, against one of the SOEs, I argued the case (more like fought with everything my tinny, winny, baby lawyer self had 😂), and we won. The euphoria !! 🤩💃🏾🙌🏾
So, DGB, Duma Gideon Boko we’re watching you and cheering you on. I have all the confidence in you and cannot wait to see what you have for our country. It has been long coming. 🇧🇼♥️🇧🇼
