I see Igbo people already laying claim to the man. But sorry to disappoint you, Edirin Okoloko is an Urhobo name.

Nigeria Amaka!

A United state governor, Jay Inslee governor of Washington state, has appointed a Nigerian man Edirin Okoloko, as judge as the Snohomish County Superior Court.

“Edirin has a clear dedication to the legal profession and a successful history of bringing justice to some of our state’s most vulnerable crime victims,” Inslee said.

“He will be an excellent addition to the bench in Snohomish County.”

Okoloko will replace Judge George Bowden who is retiring.

Okoloko, who bagged his Bachelor of Law from the University of Benin in Nigeria and received his law degree from the Seattle University School of Law, has worked for the past 13 years in the Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, where he is a Deputy Prosecuting Attorney working on homicide, sexual assault, child abuse, and elder abuse cases.

He has also worked in the office’s violent crime, property crime, and District Court units, and he represents the office on the Snohomish County Multiple Agency Response Team which investigates incidents of suspected excessive force by police officers.

Okoloko has successfully prosecuted four murder trials and has been recognised by his office for completing a high volume of jury trials.

Before working as a prosecutor, Okoloko served as a judicial law clerk for former Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Michael Downes.

Meritocracy is the reason. If you merit it then you will get it. The reverse is the case here, no level playing ground. One day Nigeria will be so sha.

Because they go for best, not like what we experience here in Nigeria. Everything here is about who you know or where you come from.

Developed and civilized countries do the right things. If it were to be in Nigeria they will deprive the competent ones the opportunity on the ground of state of origin.
