Nigerian-born, Kaycee Madu, who was appointed as Canada’s new minister of justice in his appreciation message to Nigerians for their support and message said he looks forward to the “day when Nigeria and Africa become places where hard work and merit are rewarded”.

Madu is the first black man to occupy either Provincial or Federal Justice positions of the Justice Minister, Attorney General or Solicitor General in the history of Canada.

He was born and raised in southeastern Nigeria. He graduated from the University of Lagos with a law degree in 2001. He and his wife moved to Canada in 2005. They have three children. Kaycee Madu and his family.

In an earlier report, Vanguard noted Canadian Premier, Jason Kenney, elevated Madu to the position of the minister of justice from Municipal Affairs in a cabinet shuffle that saw Calgary-Elbow MLA Doug Schweitzer deployed to economic portfolio, according to Canada’s CBC report.

Kenney described Madu as “a man who has experienced racial prejudice firsthand and can bring that sensitivity to this important role,” while saying; “I’m excited to have him in that position.” ALSO READ: APC to Nigerians: Calm down! Restructuring has begun While appreciating well wishes from Nigerians and Africans after the news of him becoming the Edmonton-South West minister Minister of Justice and Solicitor General in a twitter post thanked Nigerians and Nigerians in Diaspora (NiDCOM) for their support and prayers. His appointment was celebrated Canada’s Alberta Black community as a way to bring needed perspective to the nations justice system. Kenney described Kaycee Madu as “a man who has experienced racial prejudice firsthand and can bring that sensitivity to this important role,” while saying; “I’m excited to have him in that position.” Madu, who has practised law in both Nigeria and Alberta, was first elected as a Member of Legislative Assemblies (MLA) in the April 2019 general election. Dunia Nur, president of the Edmonton-based African Canadian Civic Engagement Council, said Madu has become a role model for the community.

Brown-roof dwelling yorubaboons like majole would have claimed 'his people play bad politics' therefore no appointment for him. grin grin

Sophisticated politics breeds 'brown-roofism'... grin

What God put into the Igbo man, these monkeys like majole and others will never fathom till they die. We will continue to mesmerize them with success left, right and center till they bow and agree that meritocracy= Igboism. grin

They have lowered the cut-off mark for entry into the university! Who does that? Just to accommodate folks who have refused vehemently to go to school.. How do you do violence to merit and expect to vigorously compete globally!?! They put up "catchment areas" to make sure that folks from academically active areas don't come to drag university spaces with them. The same people that created "catchment areas" later went ahead to create the NYSC so as to make sure that graduates visit other parts of the country in order to immerse in diverse Nigerian cultures! You don't want them to come and experience your culture as undergraduates because you want your university solely for folks from your area..., but they can come as graduates to teach your kids! Who is fooling who? One anyhow country like that...

The same people that discourages western education by preaching against it, and marrying off girls who barely left their toys, at the age of 11, are they not confused set of animals?

[b]Sadly, the referrence first hand racism which Attorney Mmadu had witnessed must have been in Nigeria, hence he made that statement.

They want a working Nigeria yet they neglect competence under the idiotic pretence of quota system and political correctededness.
That is why NK rightly described you as a Zoo.

the last time we had that igbos dominated and they hate us for it till this day

put up equity and merit and watch igbos dominate most sector in Nigeria ...no body can deny this facts

igbos are the reason we have quota system in Nigeria , in the quest to hold igbos down Nigeria is held down ...that's the truth

they can't let Igbos go because igbos would be a powerful nation with northern minorities can take support from to break away from the fulanis dominance

Let me burst your bubble small small.

The only job this man can get in Canada with his three years legal training is that of legal assistant.

Now politics in Canada demands that he appeals to a political philosophy, in this case as conservative. This was how he got votes to be elected.

No Canadian trained lawyer can get his position without 8 years training to become a lawyer. So he should be the last person to talk about merit.

Now, in Nigeria political election demands conversing and begging for votes just like Madu did. Not by zoning, bullying and blackmail.

Be Frank to your conscience bro.,
The dude have the minimal prerequisite which is a legal degree, canvassed and begged in Canada and they thought he have something to offer (merit) and with clear conscience, they voted for him.
In Nigeria even though you have a lot to offer, bigotry, tribalism, religious fanatism and outright idiocy will still make animals in Nigeria zoo to vote an idiot. In 2023, Bring back Buhari and a Kingsley Mohalu, or a Peter Obi, they wil still vote Buhari again!!

He used to run a small law firm in Canada with his wife before he became elected. He is more qualified than the so called "experienced leaders" that have run down the country and turned it to the poverty and corruption capital of the world.

He saw all the dirt in Lagos committed by his godfather and kept mute when he was Commissioner of Justice from 1999-2007. Same thing he is doing as Vice President, all the fantastical corruption, rule of law infractions and human rights abuses he has also maintained a conspiracy of silence.

You guys are so blinded, you cannot see the irony in your celebration of a legal assistant that was made a Provincial minister that has been elevated to Canada minister even after been corrected severally.

If you are a Canadian black or white lawyer, would you be glad to see an African legal assistant that has only been in your country for a few years, appointed?

You shout merit merit merit at home but once you get what you want by any means, merit can go to hell.

Find out the record of Conservative on immigration. This guy would not even get into Canada.

In Canada you can't just register a law firm, you have to pass the professional exams and be called to the bar. He has been running Tisel Law Office with his wife for the past 7 years.

He is more qualified than all the lootocrats that have plundered the country and turned Nigerians to refugees around the world, fleeing the failed state through the Sahara Desert and Mediterrean Sea.

Just imagine the audience a man like Kalu is being given? Why is Nigeria so backward? Here is a man with a conviction and should be spending the next decade in jail (albeit for a judicial technicality)

And some people are seeing a future for Nigeria? Sorry I don’t!!
