M-NET last week in Lagos formerly launched its newly revamped flagship programme, Studio 53 Extra at a party held at the Rehab club on Victoria Island.

In the 90’s these two women were hot cakes as they reigned both as Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria and Miss Nigeria respectively.

But we arrived at Ado Ekiti to a Mecca of some sort. His office was a beehive of activities, scores of people gathered outside his office taking turns to see him. Clad in a checked shirt over a pair of jeans and matching canvas and kangol hat, he presented an image far removed from the Litigator Supreme who has made Emmanuel Chambers a place for the high and low seeking justice.
