This is not the way to speak of your country at an international forum.

Making unguarded and unqualified statements that denigrate the entire judiciary is ridiculous.

So all children and spouses of judges appointed into the judiciary in Nigeria are unqualified. And Nigeria is the only country where offsprings tend to follow their parents into their parent's professions. It doesn't happen in other countries

Do citizens of those countries go to international fora to demand intervention of external international agencies in their country's internal affairs?

Every little thing, some Nigerians will shame their country on the international stage, calling on the UN, USA, UK, EU to intervene. Is it down to colonisation-induced inferiority complex or what. You end up giving foreigners the impression that black people are unable to govern themselves.

Painting the entire judiciary as corrupt is disgraceful. Many judges are some of the hardest working and most poorly paid professionals in Nigeria. Many of them are not corrupt. It is so unfair to paint them all with the same brush.

Just because you're contesting as a Labour party candidate in a forthcoming election, you took to running the image of the entire judiciary through the mud before an international audience.

Are there no corrupt judges in America, Europe, South America etc. Do you see their lawyers running their country 's name through the mud at international conferences and calling for external intervention.

Challenges within the judiciary are not unique to Nigeria. Like other countries we have to find our ways of addressing them locally.

badoh:

His disgrace at the polls would be monumental.

casualobserver:
He is a lawyer, so I guess he knows the judiciary better than me. However you go abroad to rundown your country and you wonder why no one takes your country seriously? He wants to be governor, tommorow he will go back to these same foreigners after trashing Nigeria saying come and invest.

maasoap:

He made a lots of sense. Many Nigerians are selfish and just open their wide out, waaah! And say anything that comes to their mind, they don't bother to think about implications of their comments and they don't pause to think whether they are committing error of generalisation or not. Very shameful, unpatriotic elements.

Are Nigerian judges more corrupt than Indian judges for example.

The country desperately needs investment, both local and international. How do you think potential international investors will feel hearing your unguarded, unjustified generalisations.

All because you are a Labour Party politician.

You are a disgrace Mr Akpata.

That is not the point. When you go telling all your friends my father is a bad Mann , my mother is a bad woman, my uncle is useless, my cousins are useless. You or your children will want to marry one day and people will say don’t marry from that family o, they are all useless.

You don’t use your own mouth to confirm bad things about your own to outsiders. What was he hoping to gain by ribbishing the Nigerian judiciary internationally? Can they fix it for him. So what was the point?

The same abroad judges that give unbiased judgements ?

Imagine ekweremadu in Nigerian court, he would be free today. You are pathetic.

Truth is bitter, and better said. Countries if they find themselves corrupt, they resign, even up to football executives.

Even South Africa president resign after small corruption challenges. Jacob Zuma.

Nigeria is Nigeria. It need drastic action.

Youths can’t be behaving like this. They need to take it to them if you want change.

TheOldGods:
Why would I allow another useful person to come and inherit the uselessness of my parents cousin's and sisters. Am I mad or something. Untill we start saying the truth, and have integrity nothing will change. By this your comment you're the same with all of them corrupt judges and politicians no difference. They see the truth, die on it cause of sentiments, nepotism and all, and would rather keep quite than saying the truth. Nonsense

MEGAWATCH:





The most important question you should be asking yourself from your example is;

IS YOUR FATHER A BAD MAN?

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF HIS BEHAVIOUR TO THE REST OF US?

Hiding his wicked ways so that people will think all is well maybe the most useless mistake you can make.

maasoap:

Are they not, the SANs corrupting our judges as we have seen in the past?

stuffs2002:
Olumide Akpata, a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), is a horrible anti Islamic bigot who sees Muslim as people who shouldn't exist

Housing:
Olumide Apata is an accidental Lawyer, and a bad one. He wants to be political correct because of his political ambition hence the need to satisfy the populist Movement.

He is not a good leader nor an intelligent Advocate how can any patriotic individual condemn with bringing solution. Was the platform the proper forum to dance naked ? Is he going to get what he wanted (Edo State Governor)? Definitely NO,

Apata tenure as the NBA President witnessed the lowest as Lawyers were seen fighting for souvenirs and show crass irresponsibility during NBA annual conference.

It is high time for the NJC, the Bar and the Bench to see him in his true colour. He had indeed justified those that against his candidature as NBA President back then as to they described him as an accidental Lawyer, who rarely go to Court as his a property Lawyer hence lack of deep Legal knowledge, Constitutional understanding and very low ethical conduct.

What a shame to the Legal Professionals in the Country

How does reporting your father to your neighbour solve the problem of your father being a bad man? Are you not your fathers son? For good or for bad you inherit anything ascribed to your father. So when you go exposing your father, you are cursing yourself. You think other families don’t have their own problems?
