Lawyers in Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory have reported to the courts despite an order by the Nigerian Bar Association for them to boycott the courts.

The association called for the boycott at the end of its emergency National Executive Council meeting on Monday, which discussed the suspension of Walter Onnoghen as the Chief Justice of Nigeria.

Onnoghen was suspended in controversial circumstances by President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday.

The suspension is deemed illegal and has drawn strong condemnations. The NBA ordered court boycott in protest, amid concerns over the violation of the independence of the judiciary.

Reporters who visited the headquarters of the Federal High Court and FCT High Court in Maitama reported that normal businesses went on as lawyers reported to the courts.

Many courts at the federal high court were filled with lawyers waiting for sessions to begin.

WHY AMBODE'S TRAVAILS SHOULD BE SANWOOLU'S 'WORRIES'...

NINE months ago. Yes, NINE months ago, most of the so-called "exposed and enlightened" Lagosians did not know there was a guy called Babajide Sanwoolu. But today, he is their man.

In 2006, they didn't know one Babatunde Fashola as such but he became their governor. Why? Tinubu anointed him!

Sometimes in March 2014, the name Akinwunmi Ambode just came up from nowhere. A year later, he was Governor-elect. Fashola wanted someone else. But his master had other ideas.

One thing is common with these three guys: THEY HAVE NO POLITICAL STRUCTURES OF THEIR OWN.

In Nigeria, with our politics of Prebendalism, no matter how good you are as a technocrat going into elective position, you need to have your own political Men and Women Friday.

Tinubu usually goes for those he knows don't have political lives of their own. So he could whip them to line when they start to "misbehave". Since he has the party in his grasp, he just moves against them using the party apparatus. Which was EXACTLY what he did with Ambode. And also Fashola.

So as Sanwoolu is being addressed as 'Governor' and Ambode practically reduced to a lame duck, he should remember one Yoruba saying: "Pasan ti a fi na iyale o n be ni aja fun iyawo."

Meaning: the cane used to spank the senior wife is kept in the attic for the new wife.

Sanwoolu, as you gallivant around, beware...

Lies , the compliance nation wide has been very commendable

We told them that Onnoghen was history, they thought we were joking

Does this man below looks like someone you can intimidate with blackmail?
