Eboe-Osuji recorded 102 votes, while Howard recorded 72 votes out of the 117 votes to meet the two-third required majority of votes before a candidate could be adjudged elected as a judge of the court. Eighteen candidates contested the six positions. The first round of the elections produced two judges, while at the second round, only one judge was elected. Other rounds, from three to eleven, did not produce any judge, until the 12th round when another judge emerged. Eboe-Osuji and Howard were elected in the last rounds. The six judges are Carmona Aquinas - Trinidad and Tobago; Defensor-Santiago Miriam- Philippines; Fremr Robert - Czech Republic; Herrera Venecia - Dominican Republic; Morrison Howard - United Kingdom and Eboe-Osuji Chile - Nigeria. Aquinas recorded 72 votes, Miriam; 79 votes, Robert; 77 votes, Venecia; 77 votes, Howard; 72 votes and Eboe-Osuji; 102 votes. Speaking to NAN shortly after his election, elated Eboe-Osuji said: `` I am happy that Nigeria won a position in the ICC. He, however, expressed appreciation to the Nigeria Mission in New York for the support given to his candidature. http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/Home/5749595-146/nigerian_elected_judge_of_international_criminal.csp |

Congrats Mr Osuji. |
Re: A Nigerian Elected Judge Of International Criminal Court by Onlytruth(m): 5:50am On Dec 19, 2011 |
Congrats to a great Nigerian and a son of Igboland. Don't know, but maybe this guy can help Nigerians file cases of war crimes against some Nigerian war criminals who commit gross human rights violations and extra-judicial killings. It is time Nigerians start dragging these men to that court. Maybe this guy can help. |
Re: A Nigerian Elected Judge Of International Criminal Court by Nchara: 5:57am On Dec 19, 2011 |
Onlytruth: If he is ''biafran'' enough.lol. He may have forgiven Adekunle and the other murderers. He is from Imo as the MASSOB leader Uwazuruike, so may be that one can influence him. |
Re: A Nigerian Elected Judge Of International Criminal Court by Onlytruth(m): 6:33am On Dec 19, 2011 |
Nchara: I always believe that as long as this world keeps changing, anything is possible. I don't hold much hope for trial of some civil war actors (it may happen though ), but I am more interested in making sure that more recent and current civil rights criminals in Nigeria, those responsible for extra-judicial killings in Nigeria, are brought to justice. It is very important that we stop the culture of impunity and "God" syndrome in Nigerian leaders. I would never be happy until some Nigerians are dragged to that court. If that court is honest enough, it must host some Nigerian war criminals very soon. |
Re: A Nigerian Elected Judge Of International Criminal Court by dayokanu(m): 5:03pm On Dec 19, 2011 |
Onlytruth: Maybe he would exhume the body of Ojuku to be tried for war crimes and general brainlessness of leading people to a war armed with Catapult and stones |
Re: A Nigerian Elected Judge Of International Criminal Court by Onlytruth(m): 12:47am On Dec 20, 2011 |
dayokanu: My friend your uncle (Adekunle) is still alive and may well be dragged to that court. His genocidal exploits are well documented. The onus is on his victims in SE/SS to drag is old dark @ss there. Pray they don't do that. For me, I am more interested in seeing recent and current war criminals, genociders and extra-judicial killers in Nigeria today dragged there. All these so called civil society groups in Nigeria are so dumb that I wonder whether any of their leaders ever saw the four corners of any university. It only takes dragging one or two of such people to that court for Nigerians to earn the right to gather and march like in Arab countries. Nigerians will NEVER be free to gather and march anywhere in Nigeria, until some Nigerian men in authority are sent to ICC. Mark my words. |
Re: A Nigerian Elected Judge Of International Criminal Court by dayokanu(m): 12:56am On Dec 20, 2011 |
Onlytruth: For them to take Adekunle there, they would need to first wexhume the rotten carcass of Ojuku there and try him for leading a senseless war thereby causing the death of many. If found guilty maybe a Sulphuric acid bath would take care of the rest. You know Felas deaddi body get accident Yeepa? |
Re: A Nigerian Elected Judge Of International Criminal Court by philip0906(m): 1:03am On Dec 20, 2011 |
dayokanu:Ojukwu died a brave man and so would be granted amnesty unlike awolowo and m.k.o who died as cowards with poo in their pants and brought d yurumba race 2 a state of comatose |
Re: A Nigerian Elected Judge Of International Criminal Court by dayokanu(m): 1:07am On Dec 20, 2011 |
philip0906: We all know the one who ran from the warfront to Abidjan and let his people to be killed like roaches How much cowardly can a man get? Its like a father on seeing robbers scales the fence and run leaving his wife and children to be molested by Robbers What a Kunt |
Re: A Nigerian Elected Judge Of International Criminal Court by dayokanu(m): 1:09am On Dec 20, 2011 |
read what Effiong a real leader had to say about Ojuku When Biafra's military resistance collapsed, [size=28pt]Ojukwu fled to Côte d'Ivoire[/size]. The b1nch fled the war front and left the populace to die What a shame to war generals. God bless Effiong a true general who waited not the biatch who fled |
Re: A Nigerian Elected Judge Of International Criminal Court by philip0906(m): 1:14am On Dec 20, 2011 |
dayokanu:I am not going in2 d technicalities(whatever dat means ) of d war,I am only letting u know one SIMPLE TRUTH,Ojukwu died a brave man(if u doubt,go figure) unlike Awolowo and M.k.O who died with poo in their afonja pants. . . |
Re: A Nigerian Elected Judge Of International Criminal Court by Onlytruth(m): 1:15am On Dec 20, 2011 |
dayokanu: Dayo, you are not an intelligent person at all. Why are you this daft? Assuming for a moment that you have a devilish hate for Ojukwu and Biafra, what about other Nigerians who are dying daily from extra-judicial killings, and their killers are continuing in their trade, denying Nigerians of the right to gather and protest? Do you ever think of them at all? I am resolutely taking this argument far above your level (morbid fixation with Ojukwu). The ICC has MANY potential culprits in Nigeria, and I won't let one individual stop me. If I can't get Adekunle, there are others and I am focusing on them. Grow a brain for once in your miserable life. |
Re: A Nigerian Elected Judge Of International Criminal Court by dayokanu(m): 1:19am On Dec 20, 2011 |
Onlytruth: Go get other people but just include the worst of the worst Dim Ojuku who led his people to war armed with Catapult and stones? Did he think this was Chaka the Zulu era? I cant help you if you decide to be a m0ron. Best advice is to flee to Abidjan like Ojuku |

philip0906: How can a man who live a cowardly life die a brave man? A coward who ran to Abidjan and left his people to die? he only heard the sound of Adekunle guns he fled like a binch The real general Effiong waited and would not leave his people like the bearded fool Ojuku |
Re: A Nigerian Elected Judge Of International Criminal Court by dayokanu(m): 1:26am On Dec 20, 2011 |
philip0906: Sources reveal that Bianca the wife of Biafran Warlord, Odumegwu Ojukwu is currently in a sizzling romance with Uju Robert Okonkwo. The wife Ojuku left behind has become the national bicycle that everyone is nyanshing even Ojukus brother and son are now alternating her between themselves Brother on Monday, Son on Tuesday, Na wa for Biancar the National carrier. |

Re: A Nigerian Elected Judge Of International Criminal Court by Onlytruth(m): 1:41am On Dec 20, 2011 |
dayokanu: Obviously, you are a pure m0r0n who cannot think. Why am I even responding to this m0ron? Steps over the piece of crap. @Nigerians, we will never be able to march in Nigeria or conduct "Occupy" anything in Nigeria, until we drag mass murderers to ICC. [size=16pt][b]ALL Nigerian civil society groups take note! [/size] |

philip0906: How can Ojuku brother and son be nyanshing biancar while Dim was a vegetable in a London hospital? Is that kind of thing not an abomination in Igbo land? |

You mean the Ojuku that commited suicide after being infected with HIV from the village bicycle Biancar? Ojuku what a wasted life. In his prime he was bullied by Adekunle that he had to leave his father house and run to Abidjan In his old age bullied by his brother who collected his wife. On his sick bed even Jonathan and his son dey alternate i mean do tag team on top his wife What a useless existence ojuku must have had |
