If Nigeria truely want an atmosphere where security of life we be maintained and be accountable the Security review must be included in Constitutional amendment on going. In my opinion every Security in each state be it Army or police should be headed by Indigines of that state and should be elected base on his or her good record. That person should be nominated base on constituency by traditional heads and elected by the people of the state. The same goes to Security head of the Nigeria which must be nominated by region and will be elected by people. This person must be recalled when security is bad. 

Why do we have to review security arrangements? In Nigeria today we are more divided than before and all fingers pointed at those in Authorities for sponsoring insecurity going on in Nigeria and the same people impose or appoint Security head to us without any objection from the public. We have obligation as a citizen and indignies to play a role on who head the Security that protect us in Nigeria. 

The issue of Abuja appointing a security head in State has made many Governors incapacitated to carried any security challenges affecting his people if Abuja did not approved such move, even when is obvious his people see such incidence as a crime that should be treated asuch. Take the issue of killer herdsmen ban in Southern Nigeria but refuse to be approved by Abuja. Today they are still going there normal destroying business without no security arresting them.

Some security men and women are religion extremist and this is one of the implication when such person or individual appointed a security head in a state where his or her religion is not present. The protection of life is beyound religion.

Most of our young innocent men and women are killed by triggered happy men and women in Security uniform ( police&Army) and when a report of such incidence are made . The head of Security will covered it up simple because the Security man or woman who committed such crime is from the part of Country he come from. It need to stop any criminal have to be deal with wather security or civilians. 

There are alot of negative implications happening in Nigeria as a result of Security arrangements in this Country. Take look at Benue, Ebonyi, Borno and imo there Governors have cried helplessly to no avail. Our innocent citizens have being murdered without regard to the Authority. We need to stop this by holding any security head in our state responsible by electing him and able to recalled him when he is not performing as expected. 

Federal security should be in stand by to assist a state when insecurity is out of hand. This is my opinion and for interest of peace and justice in our security system should be included in ongoing constitutional review.

Constitution review without political restructuring first, an exercise in futility aimed to massage the ego of Fulani.

The constitution was created by Fulani loyal soldiers.

Why not an odd number to at least avoid a tie if they need to vote?

All of them cannot seat on an appeal panel. The maximum number of justices hearing an appeal at the Supreme Court is seven. However, five justices can also hear a case.

It is interesting you said this. But when Sharia law offers stuff like this you all threw tantrums and floated the idea.

In the Sharia law, a citizens who steals loaf bread is given beans or tea or butter to eat with it. This means Sharia law understands the fellow is hungry.

But a politician who steals is given maximum punishment under the law because his loots are "qintar" i:e voluminous. It is however unfortunate that many of you people have been brainwashed to think Sharia law is "barbaric". This is why politicians, especially SW are pushing you to reject it because they knew the consequences.

It is also unfortunate that the North did not live up to the standard of the Law. Their "Sharia law" is political Sharia not ISLAMIC Sharia.

They are blinded by hate for Islam. Nigerians don't read or research ,always basing their opinions and judgements on hearsays. It applies to every aspect of their life. They are also very hypocritical. The same person that support jungle justice will condemn Islam for cutting of the hand of a thief found guilty smh.

I simply do not understand the rationale for a reduction when he ought to clamour that the number be increased. Appeals at the Supreme Court take years to determine due to shortage of manpower, as the few available hands are overworked.

I was also hoping the CJN will clamour for a decentralized Supreme Court, so we do not have to go Abuja all the time.

Misplaced priority if ask me.

It is well.

Exactly.... Their hypocrisy stinks.

And they need to be told and understood that, every person that participat(ed) in jungle justice killings are guilty of murder in this world and Hereafter but majority of them don't know. To them, they think they did the right thing and they die like that without knowing grave consequences until they enter their graves and face real consequences because God doesn't forget.

They strip alleged thieves nake.d and still claimed Islam is "barbaric". But Islam doesn't approve of jungle justice or stripping even convicted criminal in the court of law. NIGERIANS are so lazy that they do not research as you rightly said. They do not think or think things out. It is so unfortunate.

Yorùbá that portrayed themselves to be "elites" and "enlightened"are the worse when it comes to this. They have been extremely brainwashed.

Hausa Fulani are doing everything possible to make this country their own. They want to be the sole decider of every judgement even to the detriment of other tribes. I'm very sure they will constitute 80% if the supreme judges are reduced to 16 like they are insinuating. In fact, the next president will have a lot to do if there is ever election in this zoo called a country. Buhari is truly a calamity

Agreed totally and completely. If the US, as big in size and population and with many regions only have nine(9) Supreme Court justices, Nigeria doesn’t even need the 16 proposed by the CJN. We copied and bloated it up consuming a lot of money to meet the bureaucratic needs.

The present system where all appeals, regardless of quality, find their way to the Supreme Court is unsustainable. The workload is immense and this creates the much hated delay. Simple debt recovery matters can find their way to the Supreme Court, thus leaving the court with little time and attention on the real unsettled areas of law.
