The people of the East are strong at heart!! Against all odds, we keep pushing.

Despite decades of economic and political blockade against the East, am yet to see any zone within this contraption that is truly better than the South East on real indices of development!!

One day, we shall gather in hundreds of thousands, singing the songs of freedom on the streets of Enugu!!

They will do all these and expect Igbos to love Nigeria by fire by force and I heard one of the Christian swore by Allah instead of God to show where his loyalty lies.
But didn't Igbos still continued loving Nigeria so much that they invented the one-Nigeria slogan when they were already being slaughtered in their thousands in the North beginning from 1945? Didn't Igbos choose to align with the Noth against the other Southern tribes at independence which was just seven years after another massacre of them in Kano in 1953? So what later changed? I still don't get this overnight Igbo hatred for Nigeria.
If a Yoruba, Hausa, Edo, Urhobo, Esan, Afemai and Ijaw claim to hate Nigeria, it is easy to understand because these tribes never chanted one-Nigeria but even once attempted to pull out of Nigeria but were stopped by Igbos. So where is this sudden Igbo hatred for the very one-Nigeria they created now coming from? Honestly I don't get it.

The Court of Appeal in Nigeria is constitutionally required to have at least 3 Judges each who are versed in Customary Law & Islamic Law.

It is carved out as English Law, Customary Law & Sharia.

The likes of Uche Onyemenam from Ebonyi State came in from the Customary Court of Appeal to the Appeal Court on 30/11/2010.

The present CJN went to the Court of Appeal through this route as well.

Ignorance is a terrible disease. Just like CAN that is not ignorant but mischievous, almost all the commenters above can not use goggle to find out that government only replaced judges that have left service as a result of death or retirement.

*CAN’S CAMPAIGN OF CALUMNY ON THE SHORLISTED JUSTICES
OF THE COURT OF APPEAL*

The attention of the Nigerian Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) has
been drawn to the insinuations and vituperations that trailed the shortlisting of 20
Justices-designate by the Federal Judicial Service Commission (FJSC). It would be
noted that except it is compelled to do so, the Council has often resisted joining issues with the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) as a matter of principle.

This is because CAN has proved, times without number, its morbid hatred for
Islam and Muslims, its remarkable capacity for destructive mischief, its dexterous
use of scurrilous propaganda and its predilection for always being economical with
the truth as part of the sinister strategy of heating up the polity anytime a Muslim is at the helm of affairs.

It would be recalled that not too long ago, the Council was forced to expose the
marginalisation of Muslims in the successive Boards of the Nigerian Television
Authority (NTA) after CAN made one of its wild and mendacious allegations of
Christian marginalisation. It is actually a wicked strategy and unholy tactics to
accuse Muslims of marginalisation though Muslims are the ones being deliberately and systemically marginalised by Christians, who continue to consolidate on the colonial agenda of emasculating Muslims. However, NSCIA would not allow the serial falsehood of CAN and its propensity for character assassination of people on the basis of their religious identity to stand because truth is irrefragable.
To wit, the intransigence of CAN is playing out again in the deliberate distortion of the issues surrounding the shortlisted 20 Justices-designate. The grouse of CAN, as amplified by some hagiographers masquerading as opinion leaders, is that 13 of the 20 recently shortlisted Justices are from the North and are Muslims. Though the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem, on her honour stated unequivocally that the procedure of the appointment followed “due and
usual process” and that the recommendation “was done without any preference for tribe, creed or association”, mischief makers, ethnic jingoists and religious bigots resorted to blackmail. In venting their spleen against the development, CAN especially and its apologists choose to ignore the fact that Muslims are a minority in the religious composition of the Court of Appeal. In a statement filled with bile and bigotry, the so-called religious body expressed its “feelings of sadness, disgust and anger at the insensitivity demonstrated by the FJSC in compiling the list. It seems undeniable that the recklessness displayed by the FJSC suggests a steady and gradual descend (sic) to (sic) a process of Islamising the Judiciary of Nigeria.”
The unassailable truth is that Justices of the Court of Appeal (JCAs) are 70 but the North with 19 States has 34 while the South with 17 States has 36. The South thus has more JCAs than the North. Meanwhile, out of the 36 JCAs from the South West (where Muslims are a majority), South East and South South (in both of which Muslims have considerable indigenous populations), all the JCAs are Christians except for Justice Habeeb Adewale Abiru of Lagos state and Justice Mistura Bolaji-Yusuf of Oyo state. But in the three geo-political zones of the North where Muslims are predominant, there are 34 JCAs out of which 15 are Christians. In other words, the North East has 4 Muslim JCAs and 7 Christians, the North Central has 6 Muslim JCAs and 7 Christians while the North West has 9 Muslim JCAs and 1 Christian JCA. Of the 36 from the South, only 2 are Muslims.

*The names and details of the Justices are as follows:*
*NORTH EAST*

68 E. O. Williams-

69 Joseph O. Oyewole Osun South West Christian
70 Gabriel O. Kolawole Osun South West Christian

*Total South West: 11 Christians, 2 Muslims*

*Subtotal (Southern States): 34 Christians, 2 Muslims*

*Subtotal (Northern States plus FCT): 16 Christians, 18 Muslims*

*Grand Total of all JCAs: 50 Christians (71.4%), 20 Muslims
(28.6%)*

However, the three geopolitical zones of the South have only two Muslim JCAs
while the three geopolitical zones of the North have 15 Christian JCAs! Who is
wickedly intolerant?
The cacophony of Christian marginalisation that constitutes the sing-song of CAN
is a blatant lie, a deliberate distortion and a devilish strategy of shedding crocodile
tears or crying while flogging Muslims with bare-faced oppression and systemic
repression in Nigeria. Though religion preaches love, honesty, sincerity, tolerance,
good neighbourliness and kindness, among other virtues, CAN has succeeded in creating a Nigerian version of Christianity which is anchored on morbid hatred, undisguised dishonesty, caustic insincerity, religious intolerance, perennial hostility and outright wickedness. If CAN has its way, it would annihilate Muslims from Nigeria but one billion CANs of calumny unleashed against us cannot extinguish the light of Islam here and elsewhere, even if they try it!
This is the same strategy underpinning the needless hubbub over hijab in Kwara
state and elsewhere. It is given that the right to hijab is constitutionally guaranteed.
However, to CAN, constitutionality does not matter where intolerance festers and it has resorted to toe the path of violence. Section 38, Subsection 1 of the Nigerian Constitution (as amended in 2011) states categorically thus:

*Every person shall be entitled to freedom of thought, conscience and religion*… *(either alone or in community with
others, and in public and or in private) to manifest and propagate his religion or belief in worship, teaching practice and observance;*............

A Federal High Court sitting in Maitama Abuja, had struck out a case alleging marginalisation of the South-East in the appointment of the said judges.

Presiding judge Inyang Ekwo held on June 25, the incorporated trustees of Alaigbo Development Foundation, which filed the suit, lacked competence to appear before the court (locus standi).

They had alleged that Igbos were shortchanged in the recent appointment with just one slot.

The defendants were the National Judicial Council, Federal Judicial Service Commission, President of the Court of Appeal, Federal Character Commission and the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami.

The swearing-in was earlier scheduled for April 29 but postponed following the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) strike.

The thing to look at is, what is the full composition of the Appeal Court judges? The SE already had their full allocation under GEJ as they had filled their quota, so the last one only replaces the one lost by the SE geo-political zone.

So the areas that have higher numbers are just now getting their positions filled. All appointments are to be taken in totality and not in isolation.
