In Farooq words, a Carpenter can also also interpret the law.

Chai, so many people have stopped reasoning things logically


Why did Peter Obi hire carpenters instead of lawyers to file his case at the PEPT

I can vivdly remember how Donald Duke bragged about being learned when he was still governor of Crossrivers. He was addressing journalists and he indirectly made a statement that lawyers are more learned than journalists.

Ego runs in Nigeria in almost everything. Some that have bsc will say they are better than hnd graduates.
I have been in court several times, and have been disappointed many times by the performance of some lawyers representing their clients.

If what you are saying is true, that means Duke is correct because Law is a professional course and you are not learnered untill you are called to bar and given a license to practice but in jonalism any Rufai, Oseni and Harry can be a jonalist


Other learnered professions are:
Engineers
Doctors (both human and animal)
Architecture
Nursing
Pharmacy
Etc

His conclusion is a subject of robust debate.Is law which is one of social sciences more practical than the real science?

Dis you follow the hearings of the tribunal before the judgement?


DirtyGold:
The funny thing about the legal profession in Nigeria at the moment is that lawyers are at the forefront of deriding and casting aspersions on judges and the judiciary as a whole.

The PEPT judgement was at best a huge embarrassment to all the SANs on parade by the petitioners. One begins to wonder what they went to court to do if they couldn't present the most basic element of evidence to claim victory or demand election cancellation.

If I was Atiku or Obi, I would be thinking of how my lawyers scammed me with their shameful incompetence. Or how the lawyers were secretly working for Tinubu because, all I can see is self-sabotage as that's the only explanation that will make sense.

What's tha business?

Are you sure you are alright? Do you know anyone who voted for the APC or PDP in Peter Obi's polling unit whose vote was not counted or tried to vote for APC or PDP and was stopped from doing so?

Lawyers must chop. Peter Obi's and Atiku's lawyers are not stupid. Their chambers need those election cases to increase their annual profit.

If they tell Obi and Atiku that the case wasn't going to fly, those Politicians would carry their business to other chambers; hence, lost revenues for the original lawyers.

Triplechoice, read this article to know how argument works, he went to the root word and history of those phrases and showed how the word evolve to the modern definition you have in your dictionary, to understand any word, you need go to the etymology of the words not modern dictionary.

This is the part I like most in the article.

"Science literally means "knowledge, learning, application,” and is derived from the root word scire, which means "to know."

Is this in your modern dictionary?

What is the root word of "god" that you are agnostic to?

It is a psychological damage done to Nigerians by the colonial masters. That's why they'd rather die than throw away the racoon wigs they wear in a hot and humid weather like Nigeria. Education in Nigeria is primarily geared towards making people act and think British. Then the Nigerian factor of high titles come secondary. In all, most of them have to be retrained and reprogrammed to be able to function in any developed world. The worst hit are the "professionals"--so much noise with little to show.

Who should challenge a political party that cleared a candidate for primaries who used a stolen identity of a woman when he is a man?. Anybody can do that. Not necessarily even the political opponent. Any random person can get the Identity thief arrested or take the political party to court

Before you become a SAN, you must have gone through alot of hurdles in the professional ladder, so to say that these SANs don't know the possibility of winning or losing a case even before going to court is not but absurd. They just want to earn a living and nothing more. It is good to say they feed on ignorance or gullibility of their clients. Let me use this PEPT as a case study, the petitioners should've known that in the case like this, the judges will put Nigeria stability first before anything. They should've known that if any judge mistakenly nullify election of a president, Nigeria they intent to govern might not be the same again. They should have also asked themselves the possibility of removing a sitting president who has everything under his control.

The reality is that, no court can remove Tinubu or Atiku when they have absolute power at the top. These guys are brutal to let go of power, they can do anything to keep it. Though I believe he won the election base on the fact that oppositions could not provide enough evidences of massive rigging.

We are not under military rule, the best time to stop a civilian president in Nigeria is before INEC declaration.
they has a poor Case nothing like a president having control of anything... Did they present any evidence of winning elections the awnser is no they were after disqualification of tinubu on flimsy ground Obi LP had the worst petition using 25 percent Abuja as if Abuja votes is more important than ekiti or bauchi... In 2007 at supreme Court 3 justice ruled in favor of ANPP and buhari while 4 ruled in favor of PDP yardua... U ll see it ll be different in supreme Court this time around... Obi impatience and I'll advise push out if PDP and he divided votes that ordinarily should have gone to PDP hence APC winning... LP is a regional party if APC should be out if power only PDP can defeat them... So others should unite back to PDP...the tribunal Judgment is a sound one anyone who faults it is just playing to the gallery... Like they were told each party has copy of results at all polling unit nation wide except they refused to deploy agent... So what's the fuse about irev which is just for uploading of snapped results at polling units

"Like the fact that a pre-election matter should not be brought up after the general election, a plaintiff lacking locus standi in a matter, or that only a past criminal conviction could be used against a politician, not a civil one? With my ‘unlearned’ scientific background, I assume that a lawyer should be able to advise a client beforehand, for example, that look, you lack the locus standi to petition about the primary election of a political party other than yours, so let's not go to court over that.”

Dear Kperogi,
You really should have saved yourself the long epistle and narrowed down on the true essence of your write-up which is the above highlighted paragraph.
A tactical reprimand targeted at the justice-seeking citizens of Nigeria tagged "Obidients".
No need for the unwarranted lecture.

Yemi, so if you were the lawyer, you would tell your client 'Oh, you have a case but the judges will not hear it because they cannot remove the president, even though he stole votes'..

Dispute bases of the judgement, don't just close your eyes to what you don't want to see as you support your choice. You need to know what you need, not only what you want.

Two, instead of fighting for politicians - Obi, Atiku, and Tinubu, etc are all birds of a feather
- fight for yourself and your people by asking that we return to the principle of true federalism. The constitution you have now is a bondage.

It was not about tribe, Obi was more qualified than all those thieves. Those people you are calling trialists voted Obasanjo, Yar'Adua, GEJ and Atiku in the same manner. When it come to National election they don't go for incompetent popular candidate, they votes for the most competent one irrespective of his ability to win or not. Buhari was rejected twice.
