Gosh. We now have kids on nairaland. Warbish

Just take a look at the list. It is populated by the southerners. I believe that most of these guys stand out in their profession. Why is the bench especially the appeal court and the supreme court populated by the northerners? Is it quota system thing?

I dont know other opinions, but I want SAN scrapped. Its not useful in any way, instead justice is on hire purchase. a judicial cult whose devotion is for the super rich and against the poor.
