Hottest Parties To Watch Out For During 2017 NBA-AGC

The hottest parties to look out for during the 2017 NBA
annual general conference

No doubt that the AGC is the grand coming together of all
lawyers across the nation to network and learn more about new
practice areas. And even though people may complain about not
getting conference materials or the sloppiness of the organisers or
one thing or the other; one thing never fails…….THE
PARTIES!

There are many privately organised and hosted parties/cocktails/
dinners etc that go on throughout the week of the AGC (even all
night). This is where you really get to relax with senior and
juniors; politicians and powerful lawyers and if you are lucky; you
may even get an advantage by securing a job and other pecks……Let’s
take a look at a few party categories and we tell you how to gain
access into these side-private events

NBA Branch Parties

These are parties hosted by specific branches for their members.
Not all branches can afford to host a party of this nature so while
some of them book a whole events arena others just take their
members to a fast food joint to have a meal at the expense of the
Branch. Let’s however look at a few Branches that can pop the
music:

NBA Lagos Branch – No doubt the largest branch so they can
afford to host their members. However, because of its conservative
nature; the Branch’s party is usually cocktail like with light
music and lots of exotic drinks…..if you want a quiet mature
evening and a good night’s rest then attend the Lagos Branch Party
with a friend……I must say however that the new Social Secretary is
well exposed so we may be seeing a different atmosphere this
time…who knows

Abuja Branch – I would imagine a little bit like the Lagos
Branch so nothing new here. However, they are not known to organise
parties where everyone is invited

Ikeja Branch – Now these guys have only one
mission when it comes to AGC and that is to Partyyyyyyyyy………after
you have attended all other parties, this is where you want to end
up….not for the fainthearted….be warned

Religious Parties

For our more quietly disposed colleagues; the CLASFON Dinner and
the Catholic Lawyers get-togethers are a solemn gathering where you
can relax with your colleagues in a spiritually charged atmosphere.
We have no record of MULAN (Muslim Lawyers) or other religious
groups organising a get together but when we do we will let you
know and keep you informed

NLS Class Sets

It is arguable as to which class set throws the best
get-together but in our analysis; the older sets have an edge
because they are richer and can afford all the pecks of having a
great party. So if you want to crash their party; go with your boss
(or your husband who is in that set…lol)

YLF

The young lawyers are not doing too bad when it comes to
organising parties, although they need to seek for sponsorship to
do this. It is therefore the funds they get that they end up
working with. So if they get some good money; the party may rock
but if they don’t…..it’s doomed.

National Executives /Individuals interested in NBA
Executive Positions

This is the party you want to get into but you have to keep your
ears to the ground and move with the right crew to get an invite.
Usually, the info for these kind of party is not known till the
last moment and it may clash with other parties of the same purpose
so you have to choose carefully. The trick here (if there are more
than one party going on at the same time) is to hop from one party
to the other until you find the one with the best ambience that
suits your taste. But sadly, we are in Lagos for this year (traffic
issues) so you would need to keep in touch with as many as your
friends as possible to find out which to attend as hopping may not
be an option

By and large; after a long day at the conference there is always
the friendship center for others not so connected or who just want
to be on their own. You will certainly bump into someone you know
or don’t know and hit it off……whichever way, you can always have
your own private party at the friendship center or at the Lagos
LOCs mammy market.
