The following ensued between a lawyer whose client's case was struck out for lack of merit and the presiding judge.
LAWYER: My lord, you acted in contradictory to the reality of this case based on the overwhelming evidences before the honourable court.
I expected you to decide the case in favour of my client.
JUDGE: From the records before me show that you are 46 years old. Your client is 52 years old. The defendant is 56 years old and l am 63 years old.
Now this case was filed on the 4th of January 1647, about 377 years ago.
Now, it is said that a child doesn't bear witness to what took place before his or her birth.
Those who filed this case are now about three generations ancestors. Don't you know that if this case is decided in such a way that the ancestors are not pleased, then l bet you that we can't withstand the invasion by the ancestors soldiers.
All these that we are crying that our soldiers are invading communities and killing people is just a mere child's play.
If the spirit armies come now, you and l and the entire Court and the furniture Will been seen flying in the air.
I will advise you and the defendant to come together so that each of you can erect a building on the land.
This is the only way to avert a spiritual catastrophe.
