Probes are not substitute for governance - Kukah

Bishop was right, let govt begin to deliver on her mandate, Nigerians can keep waiting for stolen money to enjoy dividends of democracy.

who knows when the probes will end, as US ambassador revealed, it will take time to recover loots, even Abacha's loots have not been completely recovered

I don tire 4 this media government

Una never start. You think this primitive approach to fighting corruption by Buhari can succeed? It would be a spectacular failure.

Jonathan's approach and vision remains the best. You have to block loopholes and strengthen institutions in order to reduce avenues for corruption in the long term. Anything else is nothing but a wild goose chase for the simple reason that there are not enough people who can come to equity with clean hands. If our judges, law enforcement agents, lawyers and everyone else in the jurisprudential ecosystem are all corrupt, how can we claim to fight corruption in this draconian Buhari Way? Who would do the 'fighting' , and would such a person have the moral authority to do so?

Virtually everybody is involved in - or has benefitted from corruption in one way or the other. Those who haven't yet done so are patiently and secretly longing for such an opportunity to arise.

BishopMagic:


The committee also used the criteria that judges whose rulings were dismissed by the appellant court were also disqualified.

That means that even where a judge hands down a conviction it isn't ok unless the appeals court vets the same judgement.

Isn't that indicative that Buhari is searching for judges he knows will give him a conviction only which thus implies that Buhari believes that those to be arraigned in future are guilty even before being tried?


This man will destroy not only our democracy but also the courts.

It's one of the first criteria used in promotion of judges, if the Appellate court overturns almost all judgements made by you, it shows nothing but incompetence on your part.

Wasted generation

Hmmm, will our almighty, can't do no wrong, hero of opiate democracy, destroyer of PDP, benevolent Supreme Leader Mohammadu / Mohammed Buhari put those who failed the integrity test under his favorite new word? #Probe?

Oh so even judges fail tests? I thought they knew everything.

This clearly portrays the degrading state of our justice system.
Instead of making a case for the judges that couldn't make it I'll Congratulate those that did.
That we're condemning this Revelation is disturbing.
It's not Buhari’s fault that others didn't pass.
Most people charged with corruption are usually guilty but they often get good lawyers to discover the loopholes in the Constitution to exonerate them.
This is what a good judge must discern in order to pass judgment

chukwudi44:
Exercise in futility, Buhari lacks the power to set up any special courts. The constitution would first have to be amended to accommodate that.

It would require 2/3 of both arms of the NASS which we know is impossible

It is clear that"impossibility" is the first word in your dictionary! Unfortunately for you gran pa, we believe in "possibility"! Keep on ranting "impossible" as this country moves to greatness.

Show me one saint in Nigeria be it a christian, muslim or traditional worshipper and I will show you a 50 years old lady that is a virgin. Nonsense, even PMB is corrupt. APC and their propaganda..

Just like Buhari looking for a saint as ministers yet has been appointing here and there. Who are they? Angels!

Nigerians always the first to draw line at the end cry fowl play wasted brains. u all remotely control to believe stealing is not corruption but lotting is. pls if you are paid by your master to come and poison our mind pls and pls u no try course we no buy your story
wailers political stunt P D PIGS election is over now we have oga at the TOP

You claimed "gej's method is the best."
Yet you said, " virtually everybody is involved. "

But if gej's method was successful we won't be here in the first place

Because all these corrupt case is mostly about the last PDP government

BishopMagic:
Buhari wants his special courts to be no different than his military tribunals which did not conduct any trial but was A sentencing court for those arraigned before it.

Welcome back to 1984 all over again.


If Buhari is serious on fighting corruption and not witch hunting opponents he will know that only a thorough investigation yielding solid facts backed by a competent team of prosecutors who can prove beyond doubt that a crime was committed in a court of law is what is needed most as this will also serve to unravel and prevent such crimes from being perpetuated in future.


All I see here is a despotic man bent on throwing any opposition figure into jail to make way for absolute rule.

From all ur comments I can u have nothing Gud to contribute.No sense at all as in no common sense at all..

In case you don't know, not every PDP people in that house and senate are against the war on corruption. In fact as it is very few of them wants to be caught openly as one who is against the war.
The bill will soon be sent and it will like likely get 95% affirmative action. If you think people are not fed up with what's happening in this country think again. Even many morally bankrupt people are fed up except you.
One thing I want to assure you is when it starts there will be no APC or PDP. Many of you will feed on your words and know how well Buhari means business.

Jonathan's method didn't purport to be a quick fix. With the level of corruption in Nigeria, no quick fix will ever work. Buhari is wasting his time and at the end of the day, his hypocrisy and sheer cluelessness will be made evident.

What he is doing is a futile task. When he gets tired or gets pushed out from there, things would revert to normal because the processes and institutions have not been enabled to prevent, reduce or discourage corruption. Everything is based on the so-called "body language" of Buhari. What an unsustainable joke.

Only a long-term strategic vision based on strong institutions and processes rather than on so-called 'strong individuals' can help contain the problem of corruption.

These are people who will never applaud the man even if his wife is the first to be jailed.
Their mind is made up and their hands have been tied by ethnic and religious sentiments.

Since all judges are failing test. Buhari should invite foreign lawyers to come and take charge here.

It so baffles me when I see people defending Jonathan just for the sake of it. Make owna wait ooo.... Seems all these problems that nigeria is facing., sum pple didn't witness it. HAHA.. 4 God sake, this country is in a mess. Pdp made a mess of evrtin 4 gud 16yrs.y are u guys so blind 2d fact Dt, Buhari means gud 4dis country... Politicians will continue 2 use u pples head until DE reset sum of owna brain. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!! NIGERIA SHALL AND WILL BE GREAT... mumu set of people.

LongPennis:
Since everybody is failing integrity test in Nigeria, let buhari be the president, minister and judge too naa.

What kind of nonsense is this sef? Are all Nigerians daft?

Saint buhari indeed.

Igbo man. If u r sensible, you should have question the integrity of our judges and entire juciary instead of attacking buhari.

A boy in my town was caught in arm robbery, all his gang members died on gun battle, shown on TV crime fighters with bullet wounds, today he is a free man after spending only 3 yrs in custody.
The family sold all their properties to bribe judge that set him free.

I WILL ADVISE OUR BROTHERS FROM THE EAST TO RISE ABOVE HATE AND STOP BEING ADVOCATE OF CRIME AND CORRUPTION.
we should be happy that we have govt. That care about integrity test before appointment. After all is not him that screen them, the judges were screened by concerned Nigerians not buhari.

SLIDEwaxie:
pls, where is the non performance?

Is that the point here? If it is, then there is no non performance. Even without ministers, buhari has outperformed Jonathan in many ways.

Must he appoint your corrupt fathers by force?

Why the tears sef?

I guess you have issues with comprehension, by the way why are you crying this early morning

S. 6 of the CFRN 1999(as amended) is succinct and explicit without any ambiguity. Buhari lacks powers to create or nominate and post Judges to any Court. I think he should constitute a cabinet immediately to put a stop to all this gossip and rumour trailing his government. He should shed his Military mentality and disposition to governance.


If everyone fails the integrity test to Buhari; it is time we put him and his family under such scale he applies to others. I am sick of hearing this.

I hope the very respected Professor Sagay is not part of the plan to 'put something on nothing' cos he knows 'it cannot stand'.

Vicadonis:
Buhari should man all the courts since he is the only Nigerian with integrity...

Exactly

talk is cheap, can baba dullard even dare jail his wife?
He have to jail himself first before jailing even his child.

The same Jonathan that bastardized every institution in Nigeria? Wow...even Jonathan himself would be startled. Nigerians sha...

Bros try understand, Buhari is not a saint, neither cn he wrk alone, but he needs 2 be sure of a better judiciary....nt d one that tell a 60billion naira thief to pay 500million and be free...guy think am, pple sey suffer because of dis thieves..

This would have been very hillarious if it wasn't downright emberrassing. . Not sure if the president will make the cut if he is to go through the same tests. .

chukwudi44:

That committee has no powers to select or screen Judges,Only the national judicial council is empowered to do such. Am suprised a constitutional lawyer and SAN would be part of such frivolity

I thought Buhari chose a professor of law and a SAN as his vice so that he will be well briefed on matters of this nature. And I believe he was well advised. Or was he?
