The condition of magistrate courts situated at Evboriaria in Benin City can be likened to pigs' pen owing to the dirtiness and sorry state of the court rooms and environment where criminal and civil cases are examined.

Side by side with the magistrate courts is the Edo state production centre that house entrepreneurs and artisans. The production centre was renovated by the state government and can be counted as one the success stories of the present administration.

One is forced to wonder how a magistrate can sit in such an untidy environment to look at cases brought before him and expect to get fair judgement thereof. It was reported that when it rains, the court rooms are flooded with water thereby preventing any form of sitting by the court. A magistrate court in Iguobazuwa is worse off in comparison to the ones in Benin City.

Edo state government should as a matter of urgency pay attention to the magistrate courts and the welfare of magistrates as well, as it was also observed that some of the magistrates use public transport to office which shouldn't be looking at the nature of the work they do, their security and privacy should be of priority.

And Obaseki is "working"?

See me that was here thinking Abia was cursed.

All of them are eating the money


Both judges and those in charge of upkeeps

So no disturb my highness this morning with this biko

In which country??

What are those buckets for? Is the roof also leaking?

There's no point singling out Edo government for tongue lashing, almost all public facilities in the nook and crannies of the country are in this parlous condition.

Go to primary schools even in cities, not to talk of remote areas. Primary health facilities nko?
Let's not talk about roads.

Nigeria leaders from 1999, across all parties, starting from the Councilors to the Presidents deserve special trials.

The judiciary is meant to be respected, held in esteem, gracious and perfect in all its ways. Clean and wholesome void of all faults, its an organisation that is supposed to possess a "god-like" aura and respect. But alas the judiciary is faulty, security apparatuses faulty, infrastructural development is faulty, educational system is faulty e.t.c
In fact the only standing social institutions is religion.
The solution is simple.

I don't think Nigeria is on the world map. Nothing works here.

And some unfortunate human will be pronounced guilty in this same ramshackle building ...

Wait till u visit the prison

Where are the pigs?

We can do better. Bro Obaseki, your attention is needed.
