BAR TALK WITH OLA!

It's my birthday today and I've had the best birthday ever! 🔥🔥🔥

Growing is indeed a gift from God and I'm grateful.


These are shots from the latest video recorded for Bar Talk with Ọlá which is still being edited.

For my birthday however, I pre-recorded a lengthy expose on public procurement in Nigeria, incidentally I was in Tenders meetings throughout the day.

So what better way to celebrate me than to watch that video here https://youtu.be/xOMJySynX24

The final video for 2025 will be up on or by 31st. Thank you all for an amazing 2025. See you in 2026 in Jesus name. ❤️

Ọlá.

BAR TALK WITH OLA!

The fulcrum of the tort of passing off is the confusion that is being caused in the minds of customers and clients of a particular business by the way and manner in which another business carries on their own business.

In Niger Chemist v Nigeria Chemist the court underlined two things:
1. There need not be an intention to decieve
2. The deception need not have taken place before the claimant approaches the court.

I spoke about it in greater detail here https://youtu.be/jyXER9Ajxg4?si=cwoBB...
