Literature › Autonomy Or Autotomy? (poem) By Abubakar D. Sani, Esq. by iampeterben(op): 10:54am On Apr 23, 2021
Wonders, it is said
Shall never end
Such is the rot
Nay, dysfunction

In virtually every sphere
Of our national life
That even the judiciary
Is not spared

As is clearly writ large
By the on-going industrial action
Supposedly by the Judicial Staff Union
But, who - strangely - are non-judicial staff

Over financial control – or lack thereof
To use the popular phrasing:
‘Judicial autonomy’
Or unfettered access to funds

An end to the present practice
Where the courts are tied
To the apron strings
Of the Executive

Notwithstanding the clear provisions
Of the Constitution
As severally interpreted
In subsisting court judgements

What does this say
About our belief in the rule of law?
Are the three arms of Government truly equal?
Why is the control of judges pay -

Not under their hand
But, is, rather, subject to the whims and caprices
Of the Executive
Whilst the Legislature seemingly cannot be bothered?

This ‘conspiracy of silence’
Has lent credence
To the suspicion, in some quarters
That the situation suits the other two arms

Predictably, the strike has hit
Counsel and litigants most hard
Prompting the latter to march in solidarity
Which was, unfortunately, undermined by a 'typo' in the banner

Displayed by protesting members
Of the Abuja (the so-called 'Unity') Bar
A cruel twist on the strike's mantra
Achieved simply by switching a letter!

Promptly debunked - of course
As the product of a mischievous photoshop
But, seriously, when
Will this cycle end?

What does it have to take for the Executive
To observe ‘international best practices’
In the funding of our judiciary?
A new dimension? Some fresh thinking?

An elite consensus?
Another Constitution?
What is wrong with this one?
What is wrong with us?

In other words,
Perhaps the problem
Is our mind-set:
Our pervasive obsession –

At all levels – personal and otherwise
With money
And everything to do with it
For us, yes! To others, we deny

It is a sad irony, indeed
That those who wield
The power of life and death
Are – over their own – shockingly helpless

So, when next we grumble
About the so-called rot in the system
All we need do
Is a quick reality check:

Tell ourselves some home truths
Even if in the language of ‘the cool’:
‘Wake up and smell the coffee!’
Perhaps, we are our own worst enemies.

Abubakar D. Sani, Esq.

[quote author= post=101041511]If you use 50 GB data and above monthly,
The Below has a breakdown of the very best data plans in Nigeria at the moment (2020) for heavy users.

Spectranet Unlimited Gold: ₦18,000 and gives you 8 Mbps guaranteed speeds till you consume 100 GB,
after which your speed is throttled to a miserable crawl.

Smile UnlimitedPremium: ₦19,800 gives you 4 Mbps maximum speed till the 80 GB mark, after which you crawl too. To get the 4 Mbps speed back, you have to recharge with another Unlimited plan. Gobe.

Smile UnlimitedLite: ₦10,000. This gives you 4 Mbps maximum speed till you use up 20 GB, and then you crawl.

Ntel Unlimited Monthly: ₦17,500. Ntel does not specify at what point they may throttle you, but says it will happen “If your usage of our unlimited plans is greater than a predefined amount during any 24-hour period (measured from midnight each day)”. It would be nice if Ntel would specify.

Swift Unlimited
: This is the only unlimited data plan that would be worth considering. For ₦19,500, Swift gives you unlimited data for 30 days. There is no mention of a speed cap or throttling. Do your research though. You just never can tell.

Airtel has since introduced a weekly version of their Daily Binge data plan. Airtel Weekly Binge offers users 6GB data bundle for just ₦1,500 for a 7-day vailidity period. That gives you 24GB of data for ₦6,000 monthly, if you renew weekly. To get 30GB a month, you spend ₦7,500. A monthly budget of ₦15,000 will give you 60GB to burn.

Glo has a similar daily plan to Airtel Daily Binge. It offers you 1 GB for N300 and the data is valid for 24 hours only as well.
If you subscribe once daily for 30 days, your bill will come to ₦9,000 for 30 GB on Glo daily Splash. And there is no speed cap. If you do 2 GB daily, you spend ₦18,000 for 60 GB of data.


MTN’s 2.5GB for N500 Bundle

The 2.5GB data bundle from MTN is another voluminous plan that will interest those looking for huge data on small budget.

In view of the volume of data that these plans offer, and the lack of speed caps to slow you down, these two daily offers from Airtel and Glo are the best data plans in Nigeria if you are a heavy user. Even if you consume more than 60 GB monthly, you will still find them to be the best value for money. Those unlimited data plans (perhaps with the exception of Swift 4G), just got real competition.

What may be a little annoyance is the fact that you have to subscribe daily. I haven’t tried them out to see if they offer auto-renewal. But if I were Airtel and Glo, I’d implement auto-renewal on those plans and smile to the bank.

Cows are different from cows now. Different breed for different purposes. I just wish they can cross breed them. Bukola Saraki imported cows many years ago when he was Kwara state governor
