The Absence of A Working Nigerian Supreme Court And Anarchy. by KanwuliaExtra: 6:04am On Oct 16, 2023
I don't understand. . . .

What exactly is the function of this NIGERIAN supreme court?
It is no secret that the Nigerian Judiciary is not a defender of Democracy in Nigeria.

Comparing to the American Supreme Court.

The U.S. Supreme Court
The Supreme Court plays a critical role in protecting American democracy. The ABA is committed to educating the public about how the Court works, engaging lawyers with professional development resources, and providing context on notable cases that could have a lasting impact on society.

Most and least democratic countries in the world.

In the simplest terms, the most important ingredients of a democracy are:
In a truly democratic society, everyone is treated fairly and equally, and has the right to have a say in how society is governed. When the state respects that their power is dependent on the continued support of the people, they are more likely to find shared solutions to the issues we raise, and make decisions that are in our best interest.

1. Citizenship participation
Citizenship participation is a key ingredient of a democracy. By expressing their opinions, through voting in elections, attending protests or speaking to their political representatives, citizens are actively involved in the government’s decision-making process.

2. Equality: Equal Participation & the Rule of Law
Under a democracy, everyone is treated equally. This means everyone is given equal opportunity to take part in democratic processes and their opinions are given the same weight, regardless of their background. It also means that everyone has to abide by the laws, including those in positions of power like lawmakers and government officials. This is known as the rule of law.

3. Protection of Fundamental Rights
Respecting fundamental rights and civil liberties is a definiting characteristic of a democracy. When people are free to express their opinion, demonstrate on the street, practice the religion of their choice and marry who they choose, this allows citizens to enjoy their personal freedom. It also keeps the power of the state in check by helping to prevent abuse of office.


4. Accountability and Transparency
Under a democracy, the people are seen as the true source of power. The role of our elected politicians is to represent our best interests, and they are accountable to us for their actions while in office. Access to information and transparency in what the government is doing allows citizens to meaningfully participate in the democratic process and make politicians answerable for their decisions.

5. Peaceful transfer of power
A peaceful transfer of power is a key ingredient of democracy. The willingness of leaders and political parties to give up power if the people don’t choose to re-elect them, or they have already served the maximum term, is strongly indicative of whether a system of governance is a true democracy, or an autocratic state performing democracy. In a healthy democracy, a peaceful transition of power happens through periodic free and fair elections.

What is the Democracy Index?
The Democracy Index is a way of measuring the health of democracy across the world. In existence since 2006 and compiled by The Economist Intelligence Unit, it provides an overview of how well democracy is faring in 165 independent states and two territories. Countries are ranked numerically and categorised based on their democratic score. It is a useful tool because it allows for year-on-year comparison globally, as well as making it possible to track the progress of countries working to become a full democracy, as well as those who are veering towards authoritarianism.

How can democracy be measured?
Quantifying democracy may seem like a fool’s errand. The spirit of democracy is surely an intangible thing, like that rush you feel when you are one of thousands demonstrating on the street. Or maybe it’s found in the everyday things, like walking through streets that are well taken care of, or bringing your child to school, so they can use their education as a springboard for their bright future. While it may not be possible to accurately measure how democracy impacts our daily life, it is possible to assess how well the systems which maintain democracy are upheld and respected. After all, Liberties does this in our annual Rule of Law Report. Similarly, the Democracy Index examines 60 indicators related to the following democratic processes of a country in the following broad categories: electoral processes, civil liberties, political participation, functioning of government, and political culture. These categories take the temperature of the relationship between the state and its people: citizens’ ability to express their opinions and have their needs considered in decision making, how well the government performs and whether it is transparent and accountable, and the strength of public trust.

In addition to relying on expert assessments, public opinion surveys are relied on when scoring countries, particularly for the indicators of political participation and political culture. Each country is assigned a score based on each of these factors, which is used to determine their overall democratic score and their placement in one of four categories: Full Democracy, Flawed Democracy, Hybrid Regime, or Authoritarian Regime. Each category reflects the degree to which democratic principles are respected and the health of democratic checks and balances.

Nigeria don't practice democracy. Everybody can be bought. Nigerian men on white wig, forgerit.
If mogs can do it, army, police, it is men on white wig. Remember for you to be successful man on white wig, you must belong and when you belong, you abide by their code. That is exactly what they are doing.
What Nigeria is begging for is just 30 to 40%, they can share the rest but we no even see 5% and they added minus on top.

The reason the Supreme Court just like the Election Tribunal Courts are all a big farce.
How can you dispense justice independently when you have judges that have been bought?

INEC bought
Military bought
Security agencies bought
Air force
Police bought
CBN bought
Judiciary bought
Legislatve bought


The executive branch has bought all other aspects of the Nigerian works of life and claim that elections are free and fair. cheesy

What is the purpose of going to vote?

I think people should stop going to collect their PVCs, since the whole election exercise is a total scam.

Let the corrupt powers that be start fighting themselves.

When Peter Obi petitioned the Tribunal, IPOBidient's were jumping up and down telling us how Obi has never lost in court and President Tinubu was a "goner".

He loses for the first time in court and suddenly it is because the court was compromised.

IPOBidients need to learn to lose gracefully, the immaturity is nauseating.

And your point is?
Because the crop of APC criminals you have now are the same you had 16 years ago abi?

Whether Obi wins or not, TIEFNUBU remains a goner! Your corrupt Supreme Court can never erase all the STENCH that has engulfed him. cheesy

Like I stated earlier, APC was not in government and your criminal ring was only perfected with Buhari and now TIEFNUBU.

Nigerians DID NOT vote for APC. It remains an ILLEGITIMATE government!

Sour faced IPOBidients did not vote for President Tinubu, agreed.

Thankfully those sour faced IPOBidients were not as many as those Nigerians that decided to cast their vote for President Tinubu.

Obidients lack of ability to comprehend that others can have a different opinion to them without having to be subjected to abuses and insults is why they are where they are, reduced to digging up watery conspiracy theories here and there in other to topple the legitimate government of President Tinubu.

Even after the Republic of of Biafra is formed, Obidients and their man will still lose elections to more placid candidates.

Una go cry tire. You will weep blood. When the same Supreme Court removed APC governor of Bayelsa State and gave the position to PDP, you did not cry then. When Supreme Court removed all APC winners from House of Assembly to the Governor and all Senators and House of Representatives members who won election and replaced them with PDP, there was no weeping
