May God not let anything take Me to the court of (IN)justice, whereby I will go and be addressing one smelly ass hell-bound high profile criminal and a liar in Wigs as “MY LORD“, when actually, he or she is NOT. And be bowing down to him or her while saying that. Amen.

3. HON. JUSTICE CHIOMA EGONDU NWOSU-IHEME
Justice Nwosu-Iheme was born in Port Harcourt on 02nd February 1959. She hails from Nkwerre LGA of Imo State.

She began her educational career at the Methodist Primary School, Ogui, Enugu and completed primary school during the Nigerian Civil War at St. Paul’s Primary School, Nkwerre. Her secondary education and Higher School education was at St. Catherine’s Girls’ Secondary School, Nkwerre and later Idia College, Benin respectively.

She obtained her LL.B at the University of Lagos in 1981 before proceeding to the Nigeria Law School for her BL the following year. She started her legal career in the law firm of S. N. Nwala & Co in Aba, Abia State between 1982-1983.

She joined the Ministry of Justice Imo State as a State Counsel, and rose up to the rank of Senior State Counsel between 1983-1986, joined the Magisterial Bench in 1986, and rose up to the rank of Chief Magistrate in 1993.

She was appointed a Judge of the High Court of Imo State on 13th November 1995.

- Justice Nwosu-Iheme cut her teeth at the Judiciary when she handled the case involving the ritual murder and beheading of a groundnut seller, Okoronkwo that took place at the "infamous" Otokoto Hotel in 1996.

In February 2003, she sentenced all 7 suspects to death by hanging, an order that was partially carried out.

In 2021, she upturned the tribunal decision and sacked Stephen Odey as Senator representing Cross River North Senatorial District. She affirmed PDP's Jarigbe Agom as the valid Candidate and winner.

She also overturned a High Court decision and affirmed Chukwuma Soludo as the valid Governorship Candidate of the APGA in 2021.

Justice Nwosu-Iheme obtained an LL.M in 1991 and later a PhD from the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus in 1998, Nigeria's first female Judge to do so.

She was abducted in October 2019 and remained in captivity for 2 weeks until her release. A similar situation happened to her son who was kidnapped in Owerri in 2010.

She is married to Chris Uzoma, a former Commissioner for Education in Imo State and blessed with a daughter and four sons, one of whom is married to a Judge of the FCT High Court, Justice Njideka, daughter of a retired Supreme Court Judge, Mary Ukaego Peter-Odili.

In 2005, she was one of 27 ad litem judges elected for a four-year term by the United Nations General Assembly at its 59th Session to oversee the International tribunal mandated to prosecute and try persons responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in the former Yugoslavia since 1991.

Justice Nwosu-Iheme was elevated to the Appeal Court on 15th February 2008 and is ranked 8th in the Seniority list of the Appeal Court.
She's the best ...

Surprised, Shuaibu missed out. He is 1960 like the 2 NWners. Except, they are prepping him to be PCA, I don't see the reason for his exemption.

HON. JUSTICE JUMMAI HANNATU C SANKEY OFR

So she graduated from the university at the age of 20.
This is quite uncommon back in the days. Especially the days when your hand has to go across your head to the head as a criteria to be enrolled in school.

Although I have no evidence to back my claim, but I strongly believe she has a falsified age

I believe you know who Lt Col yakubu Pam. At least, she did nursery in London.

People like you sugar coat the truth.

Maybe your father is a legal luminary, much respects to him but, what's the function of the judiciary?

When are they called to test? Do they really stand or function to the truest sense of their calling in Nigeria?

The last election presented itself as the very best test for the judiciary to live up to it's name.

What dis you see? Tell yourself the truth.
Don't insult nobody. You won't gain nothing in so doing.
Let me ask you who follow politician blindly, do you think for a second that if your candidate even emerged tings would be better? Then think again, you’re are responsible for yourself at the of the day. As for the last election I strongly believe Obi never won. It’s a day dream and funny dream to claim he won. All the emperical figures are clear. That’s not even the argument because it’s not party versus party as you guys are making it. It’s actually the people against politicians.

I'm not even an Obi man. I just don't support injustice.
He never won? As if you didn't see what happened in PH?
Wike hijacking Obi's votes and changing them?
You could deny that. So many did.
That posts a verdict on the Nigerian character itself.
The problem isn't quite its leaders.
From your tone. I could very well sense you are comfortable with the status quo.

Do you have clear evidence to this ? Or just the normal talk here and there. And even if you add PH to Obi’s vote will that make him win the election?

Keep deceiving yourself.

You want to tell me the majority of Nigerians voted for Tinubu in his old age to lead Nigeria?

I don't mean to disrespect his age but, in the light of a younger, capable mind; they'd choose the former?

Isn't it hilarious?
