Before the date of my retirement, I had wound down mentally from the work. My frame of mind was that the work was coming to an end. But, as of today, I do miss the camaraderie with my colleagues. When I joined the bench, I think judges in Lagos State at that time were somewhat stiff to one another. But along the line we started going on retreats. We were spending between a week to 10 days out of the country, in another location, going through some legal matters and also having a laugh with ourselves. It has engendered a comradeship within the Judiciary and I think it has been good for the Judiciary. So, on that note I have missed my colleagues.
