I've always heard stories about my grandfather and how he was a well respected elder in the village and many people brought their disputes to him to decide the outcome because he was known to tell it like it is and not take sides for any reason or sentiment.
With the level of corruption that we see in the justice system now, I don't think there are too many people who have faith in any of rulings passed by courts these days.
So I ask, how plausible is it to have an independent governing board, made up of well respected men/women whose reputation precedes them from different regions of Nigeria (Chinua Achebe-East, Wole Soyinka-West etc.) to credibly handle final decisions on strictly "special interest" and controversial matters that affect the majority in Nigeria like the fuel subsidy controversy and other like matters?
They would not have any direct influence in legislation ie. passing laws and such but when it comes to matters that affect the majority of the population we would turn to them to have a heavy influence on the direction the country goes in particular matters.

Your thoughts?
