The OP said to ensure equal representation across six geopolitical zones ...

But I'm only seeing one judge from southeast...

There's no equity and balance in this thing ooooo

There's only 1 Justice there. So, they want to appoint more justices to increase the number of the SE Justices.

To be honest, you really need to work on your mind cause its obvious u rarely see positivities in every situations and that could somehow affect your perspective about life...Everything isnt about trolling and being bitter, dont become mentally troubled for the rest of your life just cause of some self-inflicted, mind damaging thought processing


By the way, Seems NW and SW are dominating everywhere with SS giving them a wild impressive chase. Others should come on board as healthy and fair competitions is needed in all sectors

The guy made a good point. The supreme court is the highest court. Any decision made by it stands.
Politics is a dirty game.
Everyone knows Ariwoola is a paddy of the president. He needs judges of like minds to win case for who ever they want to win it for.

It is obvious the Election matter will reach the Supreme Court finally.

Do the maths

The US only have 9 Supreme Court justices, so what workload are they talking about to justify 21 judges.

Every NBA President, they will say bring list.... Later they will still go back and pick from the Appeal Court.

Every State in the US have a Supreme Court, infact some States have two (one for Civil cases and another for criminal matters).

The 9 judges in the SCOTUS only handle cases that has to do with the Federal law or their Constitution.

In Nigeria, it's different, almost every matter go up to the apex Court.

The cases handle by US supreme court is different to some irrelevant cases handled by the Nigeria counterpart. It is just that there are cases that not to get to supreme court. Like cases that involve individuals and does not generally affect the general masses, they ought to stop at appeal court

The SE is under represented in every arm of government and the reason is not far fetched. The are not straightforward and practice emotional politics. This makes it almost impossible for PO to reclaim any mandate if there was one.

Well said bro. The emotional politics is just too much.No substance at all.

Just look at the number of their lawyers that were supporting interim government because of the 25% in Abuja... Joining their tribesmen to protest against Tinubu's inauguration.

I pray they succeed. This is long overdue actually.
Well done Justice Ariwoola.
God bless Nigeria for ever!
Check my signature for free stuffs!

Actually, what’s “long overdue” is REFORM…

The Supreme Court only supposedly “needs” 21 justices because every SINGLE case in Nigeria could theoretically make it’s way to the Supreme Court. Reasonably certain there’s no serious-minded nation in the world where that is the case. What should be done in Nigeria is primarily two-fold: (1) operate a REAL federal system, where the states have their own judiciary up to state’s highest (or “supreme”, by whatever name) court ans whereupon cases involving state law and emanating therefrom should terminate; and (2) a Supreme Court of only ONE panel constituted by ALL of the Justices of the Court (preferably not to exceed 11 or 13 members), with the power of certiorari, which means that they can decide which cases they can hear and which to decline on a case-by-case basis (except for cases of original jurisdiction under the Constitution, such as cases between the states or between the states and the federal government).

Having 21 (even 50) MEDIOCRE JSCs will do nothing to improve “efficiency and effectiveness”…
These days the position has become like a civil service promotion, with political “representation” considerations.
