The runners were divided into various age categories as follows: under 30, 30 to 45 years, and persons 45 years and above. The race was well-organized with observers stationed at designated points to enforce compliance with all regulations. The ambulance and health professionals deployed for the race also trailed runners from start to finish. The finish line was a festive scene, with music and refreshments available for the runners and guests. As the runners crossed the finish line, they were greeted with cheers and applause from the spectators, and a sense of success and accomplishment filled the air. Winners emerged from the different age categories, while the top 3 winners for both male and female categories, received cash prizes and medals for their victory.

SLEEP!
One of the longest “weekends” in the year is upon us! We’re excited and we’re sure you are too! To be fair, going to have a good time with friends and family seems like the logical first step but we want to make the argument as to why it shouldn’t be. For a change, we should be more intentional about rest and relaxation. One study found that when people average four hours of sleep a night for four or five days, they develop the same level of cognitive impairment as if they’d been awake for 24 hours—the equivalent of being legally drunk in some countries. Within ten days, the level of impairment matches that of going 48 hours without sleep. Sleep deprivation greatly lengthens reaction time, impedes judgment, and interferes with problem solving. Not sleeping enough makes it impossible to pay optimal attention. We are cognisant of the fact that this is easier said than done as our realities may differ, but it is important for us to make out time to rest, because when we do eventually exhaust ourselves, our bodies will decide for us that it has had enough. We can integrate rest into our daily routine. Research shows that power naps of 10-15 minutes aids productivity in the work place. Hence, our emphasis on sleep. Sleep is the way our body recharges and repairs. Good sleep is critical to lifting our mood and improving our mental health. It also strengthens and solidifies memories. During certain stages of sleep, the part of your brain associated with learning and forming new memories works closely with another part of the brain to encode and strengthen long-term memory. Scientists recommend an average of 8 hours of sleep each day. It is not our intention to bore you with a long lecture on the many benefits of good sleep, We only seek to encourage you to seize this opportunity to kickstart a new habit of mindfully resting and sleeping well. Sleep isn’t a luxury or a time-wasting event, it is a necessity for our collective well-being. On a lighter note, salaries have just been paid, so the temptation to go out and have a good time is ever greater. Another benefit of sleeping is zero debit alerts.

ANOTHER LANDMARK VICTORY AT THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT
Compos Mentis Legal Practitioners in upholding their continuous reputation of delivering sterling legal services have consistently continued to break newer grounds. The firm has always committed itself to giving life to dormant letters of the law, in achieving client goals. Recently, the Dispute Resolution Unit of the firm won a landmark case at the Federal High Court siting in Asaba, in SUIT NO; FHC/ASB/CS/32/2021- LUCKY OKPERI, ESQ. V. ECOBANK LIMITED & CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA. This victory is spectacular for the following reasons; The team tendered and the Court relied on printed phone screenshot of the Facebook page of the adverse party. The team tendered and the Court relied on printed phone screenshot of the Twitter page of the adverse party. The Team relied on a call log generated from MTN NG to prove its case. All the above pieces of evidence are electronically generated, and as much as the Evidence Act had made provisions for their admissibility, this would be the first time they are tested in court. Another very beautiful contribution this case has made to the Nigerian jurisprudence is that it has become an authority to the effect that banks have a right to end the relationship of banker-customer, with reasonable notice given to the customer; what constitutes reasonable notice being a question of fact, dependent on the kind of use the customer’s account is put to. The Team had to rely majorly on foreign decisions to move the mind of the court in creating this precedent.
