Amina: Infact, that lead poisoning has been going on for sometime, n I think it is under-reported.

Lola: Congrat
Amina: Amaka hv u ever been to the prisons?
Amaka: Chineke! What for?
Lola: Hahahahahahaha
Amina: This is not a laughing matter Lola
Amaka: Don't mind Lola. Why did u ask?
Amina: You know I'm a lawyer. If u visit our prisons, u will see inmates awaiting trials forever.
Lola: You're right Amina. I did a report on the state of our prisons during my NYSC for a television station. Really sad.
Amina: Very sad.
Amaka: And some of them stole just N1,000 or less.
Amina: What is even disappointing is that some of them don't know what their offense is.
Lola: If u look at it against the backdrop of those looters of our national treasury walking free, u see injustice.
Amina: Gross injustice.
Amaka: Amina what do u think can be done?
Amina: I think we urgently need a reform of the justice system.
Lola: I concur.
Amaka: Me too.
Amina: I think anyone who has spent six months in jail without trial should be allowed to go home without bail.
Amaka: Is that possible?
Amina: It should be possible. Otherwise,the injustice will continue.
Lola: [Sigh]
Amaka: I thot rule of law means every1 is equal b4 d law
Lola: Every1 should be equal b4 the law.
Amina: But the reality is dat every1 are not equal b4 the law in Nigeria.
Amaka: That's a problem
Amina: It is a problem n I hope PMB will address dat.
Lola: It won't be easy.
Amaka: Well, d rich n mighty should be made to respect d law
Amina: And d poor n lowly shouldn't be made to rot in jail without trial simply bcoz they can't afford to hire lawyers
Amaka: You're right.
Lola: I'm huunngggrrrryyyy ooo!
Amaka: Make I hear word jare!
Amina: I'm hungry too.
Amaka: Girls, let's go to the kitchen
Lola: Yezzz!!

Lola: Journalists were not allowed in, but we were addressed later by the chairman.
Amaka: You look exhausted. Lola: I am. I just don't know why politicians can't do their meetings in day time.
Amina: They enjoy darkness.
Amaka: Hahaha! How can u say dat Amina?
Lola: Amina is right. These politicians enjoy darkness.
Amina: Do they find time to sleep at all?
Lola: After we were addressed, I even heard the right-wing members will meet at 1:00am.
Amaka: And some of them are elderly n frail.
Amina: I think our body is created to rest at night, n work in the day
Amaka: What abt those employees in companies that do night shift?
Lola: Amaka, employees who work at night know they will sleep in the day. But these politicians, we will cover their activities day n night.
Amaka: That's partly responsible for why we don't hv many women in politics. How can they attend these mid-night meetings?
Amina: True talk
Lola: We journalists don't hv a choice. We hv to do our job of reporting.
Amaka: I know dear.
