Diswan just retired and his first public comment is throw jab at his ex colleagues.

There are rules that he can't criticize his colleagues or attend to press while he is a supreme Court Justice

Just imaging. Those that desecrated the supreme court are now turning around to advice how the law should be upheld. Rubbish.

When you were there you took bribe to arm twist the law.

Now the monster you and your colleagues alike created doesn't make sense again.

If the supreme court were not laden with corrupt Judges I don't think Buhari would have had the effrontery to put a Sharia judge like Tanko there. He wouldn't even dare.

law abolishment doesnt work in nigeria, they only pass bill that will pay their bills into law..... chikenan....

IMO comes to mind

The entire systems in the country is outdated and they all need to be replaced and renewed

Olatunji1929:
who notice that tanko tried hard to proof that he is not a quota system judge in his speech?but na lie we know wetin dey sup buhari will blow grammar pass obiagbo if wole sayinka can write speech for him

What do you expect from aboki that barely went to law school and his only area of expertise is sharia? Nigeria has long gone to the dogs.

You must be mad...

Imo state gubernatorial precedent continues...

Some of our learned fellows are so corrupt and they are subverting judgement in favour of the highest bidder that is the reason we are having twisted judgement and verdicts

I want to believe the learned judge has been misinterpreted

Stare decisis does not apply to the Supreme Court. It is the only Court that can do and undo and in fact, it is trite principle of legal interpretation, that laws must be interpreted in the context of changes in the climes.

The learned justice could not have made the statement attributed to him.

The points he noted that affected the weak and the poor I liked.
- Convicted persons should be made to serve after being convicted. Many people are locked up in prison without trail for a year or more which isn't appropriate.

- Also the right of Female child to inheritance to their fathers wealth. If possible too the right to inheritance of a child born out of wedlock. ( some call it illegitimate child)

- National security must be visibly threatened before suspending the rights of an individual. If only they can apply this the nation wouldn't have been in this era of insecurity.

just listen to ya self


odili corrupted the supreme court as wat .....as the CJN abi na watin

Justice Vivour is correct.The people of Nigeria should be hailed for swallowing the courts ridiculous judgements without violent reaction.

Especially the one of Kogi state,when they let that guy took over power instead of the runin mate to late abubakar audu.btw he's a coward not to have said it then.

Did he really said that the governor of Cross river is Emmanuel Udom?

The supreme court judge are members of political parties just like the army chiefs. Some are radicals.

Take a look at the court order to enforce hijab in missionary schools.You will understand why some court judgement don't make sense again.

Nobody says the truth about the office he occupies why is in the system. Immediately they are out of the system, they will start confessing the fault of the system because they have nothing to lose....
Shame on you

1.) He, therefore, recommended that the Electoral Act should be amended to shift the burden of proof to INEC to prove that it conducted a fair and reasonable election.

2.) He however made a U-turn on Monday, stressing that national security must be visibly threatened before anyone is denied his rights.

3.) The retired jurist said he had in his verdict in Ukeje V Ukeje (2014) 11NWLR (Pt. 1418) P. 384, held that “a customary law which disentitles a female child from partaking in her deceased father’s estate, is in breach of section 42(1) and (2) of the Constitution, a fundamental rights provision guaranteed to every Nigerian.
“The said Customary law is void as it conflicts with session 42(1) and (2) of the Constitution.
“Female children are entitled to an inheritance”, he added.

4.) On the issue of convicts, Justice Rhodes-Vivour said he was of the view that they should be allowed to serve their prison terms only after their appeals are exhausted.
“The reason being that some convicts serve several years in prison before their appeals are heard and decided.
“Their appeal may be found to be meritorious. They are then released. No compensation paid for the time spent in prison”.[/b]

Supreme court in Nigeria is like the elasticity level of foolishness and stupidity in decision making.... coupled with all those SAN (Senior Advocate of Nuisance) or (Senior Assss wipes of Nigeria)....

the Supreme Court was never handicapped to depart from a previous decision

Especially those precedents set since their cowships took control.

Head or tailed, the supreme court have entered a political culdesac with its judgement on Imo guber case.Hence, whether it reverses itself or not, the reputation of the apex court have been bastardized already.

Justice was badly dispensed thus giving rise to a judicial logjam this case will forever be referred to in generations to come.

Keep quiet.the supreme court ruling on imo state was the right one.stop talking nonsense

A judge worthy to celebrate.

But he erred in mentioning “our dear nation.” Nigeria is a dear country ( not even yet a nation) only to the politicians and civil servants who eat the country dry.

Black man heal thy self. The leaders of old Czechoslovakia saw that their country was not working, they sat down and dissolved the Union into Czech and Slovakia. The two countries are prospering today, and are admitted into the elite club of European Union.

Southern Nigeria’s politicians clutch blindly and helplessly to dysfunctional one Nigeria where the Arewa 12 sharia states had since drawn the boundaries of its sharia country by adoption of Unconstitutional Islamic Sharia criminal justice system.
