Sir Darnley Alexander was once the Chief Justice of Nigeria. He was born in the tiny island of St. Lucia in the then British West Indies. He migraed to England and studied law in the forties or early fifties and later took up a position in Nigeria. Well-known for his integrity, he rose to the position of Chioef Justice, even retaining the position through successive military governments under General Mohammed (?) and General Obansanjo (?).
The above piece of historical information was passed on to me in the mid-seventies by my good friend Joe Clarke, a St. Lucian student that I WA forunate to meet while he was still a student in Jamaica, but now a practising Family Physician in Ottawa, Canada. He is the brother-in-law of Sir Darnley, now deceased, having married Sir Darnley's younger sister Glovanna Alexander Clarke, then a Social Worker in Ottawa, Canada.
Joe Clarke was my House Guest in Jamaica where he studied Medicne while I was Registrar of the Medical Faculty at Mona, Jamaica under Dean Samuel Wray. Joe first started to study Medicine in Ibadan, but later transferred to the University of the West Indies because of his interest in a new program that had just begun to take root under Professor Sir Kenneth Standard and Dr Owen Minott, two Jamaican stalwarts and Pioneers in the field of Community Medicine.
The above was contributed by John Orestes Cato of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, now a practising lawyer in St. Kitts, West Indies, a past student of Sir George Williams University, Montreal, Canada, and of the Law Faculty of the University of the West Indies and Hugh Wooding Law School.
