I see a lot of Buhari supporters making insinuating that the trail of the CJN is for a seemingly criminal case of having thousands of dollars in his account. And some misguided lawyers saying that they've practised for years without Up to N50k in their accounts and all what not.

Well lets not forget that Osibanjo as at 2015 declared $900,000 in his account plus N94m.

A statement by the Senior Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu said that prior to being sworn in on May 29, Prof. Osinbajo’s assets are: ADVERTISING ADVERTISING *A bank balance of about N94 million and 900,000 United States Dollars in his bank accounts.

The CCT trial has nothing to do with the monies in the account and how the CJN got them. There was nothing criminal about this, if not EFCC and ICPC would have been involved.

All these trial is all about is the failure to declare the assets in 2009. These same accounts were declared in 2016 by the CJN. Going by the rules of the code of conduct in civil service, the declaration in 2016 should suffix that of 2009.

There is nothing wrong in a lawyer having thousands of dollars in his account. Or are lawyers not supposed to be rich and make the most out of their career? Nobody has come forward to say the monies in the CJN account was for bribe or anything. And EFCC has not come out to say the are doubting the sources of the funds in that account.

I hope Nigerians become smart enough to see this charade for what it is.....an act of tyranny.

Noted

The dullard keeps giving all the important positions to his northern family.. Hate speech is when someone shout 1 Nigeria..

Who didn't know what buhari is up to. Nigerians have been fooled and rendered illiterate with recent developments in the judiciary. As you could see of late, people have decided to keep quiet and watch where buhari is headed. He'd know the Nigerian constitution wasn't written under his roof by the time the consequences stare him in the face. I'd rather advise you take a chill pill. Same punishment he got in the 80s...loading

People always compare stupid and incomparable things mostly. Somebody did not declare accounts he was using for his clandestine deals while still active in civil service employment and you are comparing his account with the declared account of somebody that was running his private business before becoming VP.

how do you know he was using the account for 'clandestine deals' ? must you be foolish? If he was, why not report him to EFCC to investigate same? or since when has CCT start handling financial crime cases?

If your ruse is with him having that much money in his account, Osibanjo had more.

And by the way, those accounts were declared in 2016.

All these flatheaders turning lawyers overnight , una matter tire God

EFCC will probe the sources of those funds and im sure it'll lead back to some politicians

So what will you say then ?

You are too low level in understanding to discuss issues with, if you don't know why government officials have undeclared accounts.
You seem to be too unnecessarily nervous and sentimental about issue you apparently know nothing about, the ex-cjn himself admitted that he didn't know the accounts were not declared, you are saying the accounts were declared. The accounts were personally funded in 2016 by the ex-cjn himself.

God bless you OP for this post, I see a lot of paid empty heads misinterpreting the CJN issue, as one of corruption.

I wonder how people could kill their conscience for selfish gain

Oga stop spreading unnecessary rumored baseless lies, the CJN said those accounts were declared in 2012, otherwise, how then was the account number discovered??

You should be ashamed of telling brazen lies to the world. APC makes a sane mind sick

It's sad to see seemingly sane human beings defending crime (alleged) with so much passion. It is amazing that they cannot correlate these crimes with the sorry state of affairs we find ourselves today. In sane societies, people such as the CJN and others would have since resigned or be forced to resign, but here we have people defending the indefensible.
A judge is not a lawyer.
A lawyer is a private businessman or woman who sells legal services to those who can afford it. Some lawyers charge millions just for consultation.
A judge on the other hand is a public employee, a public servant paid by the state to administer justice. A judge is not expected to engage in business or provide legal services, so how do you compare the earnings of a judge with a lawyer? A judge's salaries and allowances can be determined to the last kobo. Now if a judge is reputed to have billions in his accounts, without any explanation, then something is amiss.

In the UK, and ordinary citizen living beyond his or her means would have some explaining to do to the police, not to talk of a public officer or a judge. Here people are celebrated and some people are prepared to sacrifice their lives to defend such people.

If you insist judges are able to earn billions in Nigeria, then where are his tax receipts, so we can see the businesses that generated the money. If he cannot produce the tax receipts, then he is guilty of tax fraud and evasion. That is how it goes in a sane country.

How can some one who is unable to explain the source of his wealth sit in judgement of a yahoo boy or any one accused of corruption?

Osinbajo was also former attorney general for lagos state.

Are u in your right mind?didn't your brain tell u the judges were successful lawyers before they were appointed judges or u think they were carpenters, there is something in the middle of your ears called a brain,use it.

op, you would have had a stronger position if access to osibanjo's assets pre-99 & post 2007 can be gotten.
