These katakata over Onnoghen is nothing but form over substance. These are the same people that Lynch hungry man for stealing food in their local market but throw all away if a big crook belongs to their village. 2 Likes |

The CJN didn’t declare his assets, agreed, he should be removed, why don’t you follow laid down procedures to remove him? Are you in any chance saying that we should suspend the constitution in order to lynch thieves in our midst? Talking of lynching, have you also asked why Babachir Lawal has not been lynched? When Nigerians united and made a lot of noise after his crimes were discovered, what happened? He was only relieved of his duty, has he been prosecuted? I do not hold brief for any of these thieves who are in position of authority, but one thing everyone of us should note is that our institutions must be protected, especially the Nigerian constitution. Let the CJN be removed but you have to follow the law to achieve that. It’s simple. 1 Like 1 Share |

blujoi: The original Poster is 100% right and posts like yours just prove it. Why people can not see the crux of the matter is beyond me- a man whose only job in life is to be a servant to the law, be it's High Priest by displaying the highest modicums of integrity which then allows him to sit over other human beings that God has created and then judge them- this same man is the one running from pillar to post doing all thing under the Sun to ensure his case never sees the light of day. You scream constitution- but are we made for the constitution or is the constitution made for us? When people around Yaradua refused to do what was right and became mediums to a half dead man refusing to handover to GEJ, was it the constitution that solved that matter or Nigerians who knew this was naturally wrong and refused to allow this happen. When the politicians finally recovered their senses they came up with the "doctrine of necessity" to cover their nyashes. Please tell me where the doctrine of necessity is in our constitution? Everywhere in the Bible, it is says if you see evil and you have power to do something about it and do nothing you have sinned (a la Buhari). Everywhere in the Bible it says you should not judge someone when you know you are just as guilty of those sins (a la Onoghen). Everywhere in the Bible it condemns crooked judges (a la Onoghen) and in the New Testament it tells us Christ came to destroy all those overly fascinated by the Law (a la SANs and NBA) .It is said in the Bible that despite David being a man after God's heart, he did not allow him to build his temple only because their was too much blood on his hand (a direct result of him excelling as a serious wartime King). It is only in Nigeria where people want to take all the glory of the office but don't want to bear any responsibility. Only in Nigeria where the elite insist on eating their cake and having it. I state the below clearly: Buhari is not suppose to be a servant of the law- he is a servant of the people first and foremost-and we will soon get the chance to judge him and if we feel he has not served us kick him out. (Note not many will make this decision based on whether they feel he has obeyed/disobeyed all the laws in this Country) We do not have this chance with Onoghen who serves a different master. Onoghen was suppose to be a servant of the law and decency alone, he is it's ultimate High Priest- however he has only proven to be a servant to himself alone by comparing himself to Buhari and conveniently choosing which laws to obey and which laws to "forget". No sane man can take any ruling from such a compromised Idiot seriously. Just like I would not go to any church where I know the Bishop is a Hindu adherant "Do as i say but not as I do"- that's from the High Priest of blind Lady justice. 2 Likes |

Your problem is not corruption even if you really know what corruption is. Your problem as your name indicates is either you have Nigeria in your pocket or kill it. Dream on. You expect an angel to come and clean up Nigeria like Jonathan? I prefer a devil instead. NigeriaIsDoomed: 2 Likes |

googi:Most of those supporting the lifeless, brainless dullard are as foolish as him, it takes foolishness to support an imbesile. I put it to you that you don't even know the meaning of corruption and that it is farcical to hear a devout corrupt apostle making noise about fighting corruption. |

Sir, the Nigerian constitution is the guiding principle behind our elected servants and each and everyone of them at any level swore to protect the dictates of that constitution. The constitution was not fashioned to fit with the laws of Moses or the Bible. I can highlight a thousand and one cases where PMB failed the intergrity test, I didn’t hear him step aside. Now the crux of the matter is, an officer of the law failed in his duty and the 1999 constitution specifies a way which that very officer is to be removed, the president is sworn to follow those laid down procedures, overriding and ignoring such will lead to anarchy. Yardua situation was similar, the constitution specified that where the presidency is incapacitated the VP is mandated to take over power, a group of people around the then President refused to follow this same laid down constitutional process but at the end of the day, Nigerians let them know they didn’t have a choice. They didn’t do that for the love of GEJ, but to protect the sanctity of the constitution. This is the crux of my argument. samstradam: |

Some of these guys are jokers. Do you really care about the Constitution? Anyway, even the devil can see through you. Just about anything to derail the country until it falls into your hands. Now, repeat after me: IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. Cry blood or shed crocodile tears. |

blujoi: I mean this in the nicest way to you because you have tried to make an argument that could be considered sincere- was the constitution delivered to us by God or by any other Just Entity you know? Are you saying as a full grown man you are unable to decipher the difference between right and wrong unless you read your Constitution? What makes this document greater or on par with any Holy Book, whose authors we can actually identify- or can you give me any name of the authors of the Nigerian Constitution so we can check their morals let alone democratic credentials? I doubt you can and if you don't see the irony of this and that 200 million people are expected to live like Zombies to its dictates, I doubt you question anything in life unless you are told to. Does it not worry you that according to the dictates of this constitution (or should i say the way you all are interpreting it) that any judicial officer could commit something as heinous as murder and 200 million of us have have to wait for those old men in NJC to decloak him before he can even be charged??!! Does that sound civilized or just to you? Or in the bubble you and Nigerian constitutionalist live in you believe judges are immune from those kind of crimes. Here you go: https://edition-m.cnn.com/2018/11/21/us/ohio-judge-ex-wife-killed/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F Kindly note in the writeup where it says he was charged with the first of his crimes while still a sitting judge in 2014. If the American constitution says its ok why does your mysterious one give them unheard of and undeserved immunity ?? I had put up a thread where I had asked all the legal minds on Nairaland to give me one country, just one in the world, where judicial officers must first be judged by their club before they can face normal courts like the rest of us normal nigerians who are not tasked with the security of others lives and properties like our Governors and our Presidents are. https://www.nairaland.com/4959333/judicial-immunity-where-world-nigerian But no, you say I should suspend all common sense and decency because it is not written in the constitution. Are you aware that the UK has an unwritten constitution and has operated with unwritten rules for almost a Thousand years? The cardinal concepts of freedom, fairness, equality and justice governs all their laws and that is enough for them to know how to do the right thing without being told to or asked. Personally I laugh at a supreme court and constitution that makes a man a Governor in an election he did not appear on the ballot sheet for or campaign for (Amaechi decision). I laugh at a supreme court and justice system that loves to hear pre election matters after the election has taken place. (again they want to do this in Rivers) I laugh at a judicial system that takes an average of 10 years to conclude on any top government corruption trial. I laugh at an Appeal court and constitution that says judicial officers cannot be prosecuted for any crimes unless brought before the NJC first. I laugh at a CJN who rules in a case that the CCT's authority is exclusive and enshirned in the constitution and that judges facing trials should be suspended, but when brought before it refuses to be served and accept his own ruling !!! What is right will always be right, whether written in the constitution or not, and an injustice like asking a man to be the judge and juror in his own case will always be an injustice, whether written in the constitution or not. |

googi: We all know the reasons why everyone is screaming "constitution" for Onnoghen. Dasuki has been denied his constitutional rights for years now but no one remembered Buhari was a Tyrant or that they loved the constitution sooo much. |
