The pedigree of Adokiye Amiesimaka in the Nigerian story is quite unique and exemplary. He is both an accomplished legal practitioner as well as a sportsman. As a lawyer in the service of his native Rivers State, he rose to become the state attorney general. As a sportsman, he played football for the National team even as a Law student (he was fondly nicknamed Chief Justice) and was a terror to opposing defenders on the left wing. This combination of National service on both the legal and sporting fronts is quite rare and very commendable.
