Poem
The year that is about to make its last appearance before it dies and is buried to be only given a place in the history of our existence has brought ?e joy, l° shall therefore, out of obligation rather than leisure acknowledge its fairness and generosity. It began on a high as l° aimed to make it through the Bar exams and to be successfully called to the Nigerian Bar. This singular goal, controlled all others and made them seem less important. In the end, the story ended greatly, we all do love happy endings, l° am a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria. To God be the glory. Yet, the most important aspect of the year wasn't the fact that l° became a Barrister, rather, it is the fact that through the demanding and rough journey of reaching and achieving that goal, along came people of great personality, people l° knew had the character to spur you on and literally uplift you both psychologically and in every other positive way possible. For the first time in my life, l° was opened to the richness of the earth's diversity, both in religion as well as in culture. l° even spoke new languages and danced to new tunes. l° was given a new eyes, l° did see the world from another perspective, it was thrilling and l° came to see the blessing in the cultural and ethnic differences. But, the crux of the essay being friendship. The year 2012, gave ?e the most supportive, reliable and cheerful individuals to work and also relax with. These people not withstanding their different social, religious and academic background did with ease find a common ground and built a strong fold for friendship. There were moments no doubt during the year when it would have been quite impossible to move ahead without the support and undying motivation of these individuals, as l° do stand at this bridge, about to cross to the other end of the journey, l° would take a few minutes to say a very hearty thank you to all of you. From my parents, without whom there will be no Barrister attached to my name, words fail ?e. l° do say a big thank you. To my siblings who went out of their own financial obligations to support ?e through the difficult but productive year, l° am ever indebted to all of you jointly and severally. For a friend like no other, master Chinasa Orji, let your heart desires become reality unto you bro and the same gratitude goes to the entire Orji family. l° will now try as much as l° can, to mention a few of those whose friendship, alleviated the burden of the journey through 2012, and l° say the list is not quite chronological, l° just add to it as l° do remember, these persons include but not restricted to: 1. Mazi Ezegamba Esq. 2. Mr. Frank Somto Esq. (Ajo anu) 3. Okpara Chinedu Esq. 4. Mallam Abubakar Lawal EsQ 5. Mr. Yage Bamiyi Esq. 6. Adesola Adelusi Esq. (Miss) 7. Amarachi Esq. 8.

Forster Eneh Esq. 15. Kingsley Chime Esq. 16. Mr Magnus Akabueze 17. Emmanuela Oraegbu Esq. 18. Nonso Nzedebe Esq. 19. Orji Ukah Agwu Esq. 20. Chinedu Ezeokoronkwo Esq. 21. Emmanuel Okoroji Esq. 22.

These and many more people that l° can't put all here for the lack of time and to make it less boring to read really and honestly contributed to my success in making this year count and l° pray that the year we are about to witness and explore will bring us more reasons to celebrate, love and share. Do have a great NEW YEAR. Love. Magnus
