LongPennis:

What kind of nonsense is this sef? Are all Nigerians daft?

Saint buhari indeed.

Vicadonis:
Buhari should man all the courts since he is the only Nigerian with integrity...

fitzmayowa:
Since everybody is failing integrity test i wonder who will be clean/saint enough to work with PMB, am beginning to see the so called "integrity" test as ploy to give nigerians excuses for non performance...SMH

simeonii:
PMB should head the Legislative, Executive and Judiciary........seems he's the only one that can't fail the integrity test in Nigeria.

BishopMagic:


The committee also used the criteria that judges whose rulings were dismissed by the appellant court were also disqualified.

That means that even where a judge hands down a conviction it isn't ok unless the appeals court vets the same judgement.

Isn't that indicative that Buhari is searching for judges he knows will give him a conviction only which thus implies that Buhari believes that those to be arraigned in future are guilty even before being tried?


This man will destroy not only our democracy but also the courts.

simeonii:


My respect, @ d bolded.....

9jatatafo:
Show me one saint in Nigeria be it a christian, muslim or traditional worshipper and I will show you a 50 years old lady that is a virgin. Nonsense, even PMB is corrupt. APC and their propaganda..

GoldenJAT:
It so baffles me when I see people defending Jonathan just for the sake of it. Make owna wait ooo.... Seems all these problems that nigeria is facing., sum pple didn't witness it. HAHA.. 4 God sake, this country is in a mess. Pdp made a mess of evrtin 4 gud 16yrs.y are u guys so blind 2d fact Dt, Buhari means gud 4dis country... Politicians will continue 2 use u pples head until DE reset sum of owna brain. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!! NIGERIA SHALL AND WILL BE GREAT... mumu set of people.

chukwudi44:
Exercise in futility, Buhari lacks the power to set up any special courts. The constitution would first have to be amended to accommodate that.

It would require 2/3 of both arms of the NASS which we know is impossible

BishopMagic:



You are very right.

APC maggots think we are in 1984

WHOEVER COMES TO EQUITY,MUST COME WITH CLEAN HANDS.S

NAIRALANDERS..TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY...SHOW ME LUV.....

obailala:
So because you believe PMB is also corrupt, so therefore we should not make any attempt to clean the corruption in our system?... or probably we should wait for Jesus to leave his throne to come down and help us fight corruption before you would support the fight right?

Why can we just be patriotic or optimistic for once in our lives?... Ask yourself this question deep down in your heart, are you happy with the way things are in your country?

philips70:


In case you don't know, not every PDP people in that house and senate are against the war on corruption. In fact as it is very few of them wants to be caught openly as one who is against the war.
The bill will soon be sent and it will like likely get 95% affirmative action. If you think people are not fed up with what's happening in this country think again. Even many morally bankrupt people are fed up except you.
One thing I want to assure you is when it starts there will be no APC or PDP. Many of you will feed on your words and know how well Buhari means business.

9jatatafo:


I am waiting patiently for the human and corruption environmental sanitation being carried out by PMB. We all want good for this country but in a situation where PMB thinks he is the only saint then that is dictatorship. How could you tell me that all the lawyers nominated for the special court for looters all failed integrity test? My friend think very well.

AncientJerk:


Oga if not that you don't understand the legal system. The criteria of having had a lower amount of overturned judgements implies that the candidate is more worthy! For a judge to have a high number of overthrown judgement sis extremely bad and is one indicator of corruption and incompetence.

secondly if you people would like to be sincere for a minute, is this not the same Nigerian judiciary that you all make disparaging comments about? why then the feigned surprise and umbrage that few honest candidates have been found within the system?

chukwudi44:


I am afraid the law would never pass!!! It is not just about Buhari or APC but rather about allocating too much powers on one person or office.The principle of democracy or seperation of powers of the executive,Legislature and judiciary is all about check and balances and prevent abuse of power.No law seeking to allot judicial powers to the executive would be allowed to pass at parliament.

ayindejimmy:
Thid clearly portrays the degrading state of our justice system.
Instead of making case for the judges that couldn't make I'll Congratulate those that did.
That we're condemning this Revelation is disturbing.
It's not Buhari’s fault that others didn't past.
Most people charged with corruption are usually guilty but they often get good lawyers to discover the loopholes in the Constitution to exonerate them.
This is what a good judge must lookout for.

obailala:
The report says 'majority' and not 'all,' kindly go back and read with your glasses this time. Besides, why should anyone be surprised at such a development?.... Are you nee to Nigeria?

opendo21:
From all ur comments I can u have nothing Gud to contribute.No sense at all as in no common sense at all..

obailala:




Why would anyone even wish evil for his/her own country?....Are you guys really happy with the status-quo?

Since I was born, I've always known Nigeria to be an extremely corrupt nation of which all sectors have been infiltrated; the executive, the legislative, the judiciary, the military, the police, the educational system just name it. We all know that all sectors in Nigeria have been corrupted over the years and this has led to our economic and social stagnation and backwardness. Even the judiciary we talk about now is the very same judiciary we have always complained about for years of being extremely compromised.

Now for the first time in our lives, we have an old man who is making an 'attempt' to clean the system a bit for our collective betterment, and here we are, mocking and mocking and mocking the old man and his ideas.

Please my people, this is no longer a case of politics of GEJ vs APC anymore. Why can't we kindly put politics aside for just one second?

kingk:
I have a suggestion, let them employ oyibo judges at least, they don't belong to any political party.

MrMcJay:


The courts to be established are going to be of concurrent jurisdiction with the High Courts.
If you think the jurisdictional issue is going to be a leeway, go and ask how the bill fragmenting the NLC was passed.
