‘One of the greatest things that can happen to a father is to see you replicate your like’, oh what joy such is the expression on the face of ace lawyer, Onyekachi Monday Ubani as his first son, Obinna Ubani joined him. in the legal profession when he was called to bar recently.

The thankful father was full of praises to GOD for the success of the boy’s academic programme when Trek Africa Newspaper Team visited him at his Ikeja corporate legal office, ‘It wasn’t easy but to GOD be all the glory. He is the One that saw the young man through. He schooled there in ABUAD, traveling by road to and fro Ekiti state for five solid years, GOD took him to Kano campus for law school. The same God will take him to wherever he will do his service.’

On whether he uses his high position in the society to influence decisions on the son’s path to become lawyer, Onyekachi Ubani retorted: ‘It is about GOD all the way. I don’t influence anything for him. When they posted him to Kano if I had restricted him to Lagos, he wouldn’t have known the things he knows today. One thing I always do is to hand him over to GOD’s Hands and whatever is put in God’s Hands is completely protected. This is absolute confidence that he will also go and come back after the mandatory NYSC year.’

He also declared the prayers of a father on the new lawyer, Obinna Ubani as he awaits another son graduating as an engineer next year. ‘Obinna will be greater, richer, popular and blesses than me. The offices I never entered, he will enter there. What I couldn’t achieve he will achieve double.’

‘Today I can claim I have a lawyer in my house and that’s my first son’, said the excited Onyekachi to Trek Africa Newspaper’s Oki Samson and Sidney Nwachukwu.
