Wale Igbintade writes that the influence of close family members and associates in top judicial and political offices on the appointment of judges is increasingly eroding the independence of the Nigerian judiciary. The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, last week swore in 12 judges into the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory. Among the judges was his daughter-in-law, Ariwoola Oluwakemi Victoria. major instrument in the hands of regimes intent on subverting the checks and balances inherent in a democracy. The effect of this could be seen in Plateau State where the alleged favour done to the Court of Appeal President, Justice Monica Dongban-Mensem by former Governor Lalong in her appointment and the appointment of her daughter as a judge of the High Court of Plateau State was alleged to have led to the bias that led to the nullification of the elections of the federal and state lawmakers on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by the state Election Petitions Tribunal and Court of Appeal panel. An investigation by a human rights activist and former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Prof Chidi Odinkalu revealed that among Nigeria’s first eight indigenous CJNs, only the first, Justice Adetokunbo Ademola, had a child, Philip Adenekan Ademola, who became a judge. However, many of their successors since Mohammed Uwais’s retirement in June 2006 have used their positions as heads of the NJC to promote their own children to high judicial offices, disregarding potential conflicts of interest. For instance, a former CJN appointed two sons to the high court bench and another two to positions in the registry of different courts in the country. The only requirement for judicial appointment in Nigeria as spelt out in Sections 250 and 271 of the 1999 Constitution is a minimum of 10 years of enrolment as a lawyer in Nigeria. There are no prescribed skill, character, or integrity thresholds. In 2020, the NJC was alleged to have advertised 15 vacancies for the FCT High Court but nominated 34 persons for appointment, with all of the non-advertised nominations going to the children or relatives of judicial insiders. Rule 8.3 of the Judicial Code of Conduct established by the NJC contains this explicit prohibition: “A judge who takes advantage of the judicial office for personal gain or for gain by his or her relative or relation abuses power.” As a rule under the Basic Principles, “any method of judicial selection shall safeguard against judicial appointments for improper motives.” In 2022, human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), revealed that “two years ago, a candidate who scored zero in the NJC interview was made a judge.” A Professor of Law, Itsejuwa Sagay, (SAN), who chaired the Presidential Advisory Committee against Corruption (PACAC) in the administration of Muhammadu Buhari, once faulted the rate with which “sons and daughters of retired and serving judges and justices are being nominated for appointment into sensitive judicial positions at the expense of more qualified candidates without privileged support and backing.” The point about judicial capture is that it does not pretend to put the institutions of the judiciary to any transcendental or societal goals. Leading judicial figures and political leaders are now insisting on making their spouses, mistresses, children or family members judges. Currently, it is common to see that state governors ensuring that judges serving in their territories receive choice properties and other benefits, which they often do not declare as part of their clandestine plot to capture the judiciary. This is why Odinkalu recently said: “The alacrity with which parents and paramours in high judicial or political office in Nigeria suddenly discover these days that the hidden genius of their scions or sleep mates deserve elevation to the highest levels of judicial office tasks every calculus of probability beyond the realm of plausibility. The only explanation for this pattern is that judicial office is hawked as a transactional token or filial favour, or for genital propinquity.” https://thenigerialawyer.com/nepotism-as-threat-to-judiciarys-independence/

sreamsense:Wow! Look at how "peaceful" and "logical" you are in your argument; throwing tantrums and hauling insults I believe is part of being peaceful in your culture and believe. Oga! even the President of Nigeria cannot query anyone for travelling for pilgrimage; why don't you tell us where he was invested with the powers to decide parts of the constitutionally guaranteed rights that Ogbomoso people can enjoy and those they can't. Is the Imam answerable to him? As a pastor, what's his business with happenings in the Muslim world? Just remember, " injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" I hope when the Sultan of Sokoto queries the archbishop of Sokoto diocese for traveling to Jerusalem without his permission and orders him to return back immediately, you will say the same thing? |
The ultimate goal of education is knowledge and character and you lack both. This tells us about your person and the type of education you have acquired. This is evident in the skewed version of history you have been dishing out to your gullible audience since . Go read the works of Inikori and Walter Rodney and come back here to tell the world between Europe and Arab who turned Africans more into an endangered species. As for when Europeans killed for those who said Jesus was not Lord; again, if only you had the right education, you would have learned from the works of notable African historians the number of Africans killed to have Christianity entrenched here( the sword and the gospel preaching did the magic). Even the works of notable novelists of African origin like Achebe and Ngugi Wan Thiongo is replete with such narations. Always try get your background facts right before coming to display your ignorance in the public space. As for killing in the name of Allah, if and only if you know Islam well will you understand that what these our northern brothers do is contrary to Islamic preaching and a matter of Jungle justice as we experience often across different parts of the country. In as much as blasphemy is a sin in Islam, only the appropriate authorities are vested with the right to investigate and sanction those guilty of it. This is not peculiar to Islam as blasphemy is a purnishable offence in all major religions of the world including Christianity which you earlier referenced. Here are some Biblical verses related to blasphemy: 1. Leviticus 24:16 - "Whoever blasphemes the name of the Lord shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him. The sojourner as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death." 2. Matthew 12:31-32 - "Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven people, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come." 3. Mark 3:28-30 - "Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin—for they were saying, 'He has an unclean spirit.'" 4. Luke 12:10 - "And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven." 5. 1 Timothy 1:20 - "Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme." I need not remind you that your iffah often request for human sacrifices to appease it's anger and those that desecrated the shrine of Iffah are often offered as sacrifices to the gods. Again, your failure to grasp this simple reality of blasphemy across major religions of the world shows the shallowness of your knowledge. When you add this to the fact that you are destitute of character, it becomes abundant clear that you are not a person with culture and education. Finally, please continue to worship your ifah in peace while we worship our ALLAH in peace. Continue to follow your iffah priests while we follow our "pedophile" Muhammad in peace. P.S. if you are not tolerant enough to speak respectfully of others belief system, how do you expect them to be tolerant of your abuses. I will not dignify you with any response again because you have shown that you are not a person of culture and character. Dsimmer: |
Firstly, it's wrong of you to abuse people's believe and denigrate individuals or supernatural forces others revere. This is always the cause of religious violence. If you are not tolerant enough to speak respectfully of people's belief system, how do you expect them to be tolerant of your abuses. On Ifa, you can continue worshipping your iffah and paying homage to Iffa's ancestral place or shrine while we the BELIEVERS OF ALLAH continue to worship Him and pay homage to Makkah(the House of Allah). You can continue to follow your Iffah priests, let us follow the teaching of our respected "pedophile" MUHAMMAD in peace. He is the best of teachers and the most noble servant of Allah to ever grace this earth. |
I think if we are to look at current forms in terms of goals scored and goals conceded, then we can't help but to give it to Arsenal. Arsenal have scored the most goals, so, they possess the attacking quality to hurt all the three teams we see as major hurdles. They have the best defensive record in the league, so, the have what it takes to neutralise the three teams. This notwithstanding, Man City seems to have the easiest run on paper, however, we should be mindful that playing Brighton, West Ham, Spurs can't be described as easy. For me, I wish Klopp the most colourful ending possible |
Can the Mod move to FP please? |
Eight students and three teachers of ASCL Staff Comprehensive Secondary School, Ajaokuta, Kogi State were kidnapped yesterday. This unfortunate incident happened around 3 pm yesterday along Okene-Itobe road as the students were returning from a quiz competition in Okene. The bandits thereafter set the forest on fire to make it nearly impossible for the security officers to trail them. They have since called requesting for ₦20,000,000 per-head ransom. Urgent intervention of the state government is required. |

Hello all, I am to present a paper on "2023 Elections As A Litmus Test Of Democratisation in Nigeria" at the up coming International Political Science Association (IPSA) conference in Argentina come July. My application for funding from TETFUND was turndown by my institution on the ground that the school is not having enough to support me at the moment. This conference is very important for me since I am also to meet three different scholars from three different countries to discuss my Doctoral thesis (proposals) with them and see if they will be willing to supervise me and secure funding for me in their various institutions. Please, kindly help me with the name of any organization (locally and Internationally) that you know fund this type of travel. Thank you for your help and consideration. |
mistilink1:Bro, two wrongs can't make a right. He should have anointed a Kabbah man. That would have earned him the respect and support of all even that of his worst critics. |
EeyanMayweather:The reality bro is that there are three major ethnic groups in Kogi just like Nigeria, the Igala's like the Hausa-Fulani are in majority, however, not the kind of majority that puts you in a cruise position. The 2006 census put them at around 45 or so percentage. Any other figure any one dishes out is a lie concocted from the pit of hell. So, the other two senatorial districts are more than the Igalas combined. The foregoing notwithstanding, in other to win the trust of the Okuns and creat a solid basis for future negotiation, Yahya Bello should have anointed an ally from the western senatorial district. |
ACCURETE:Audu actually spent 4years before Ibrahim Idriss defeated him. However, your argument that three Igala governor's succeeded one another is right. |

Hello Zubby, please, can you avail me your contact details or reach out to me at 08105086604.. I just want us to discuss an issue privately. Thank you ZUBY77: |
Firstly, I must acknowledge that I am a Ronaldo fan and till tomorrow, I will be. The reality I acknowledged after Argentina made it past Croatia was that 'might' be Messi was a better player to Ronaldo. And even today, something deep down tells me, probably he is the real GOAT after all. However, with all sincerity, if Argentina made it past Round 16, Quarter final and now the final, it is not because of Messi, it's because of the Goalkeeper. I feel FIFA should have acknowledged this fact and recognize the Keeper's contributions. Again, if we truly want to be objective, we will realize that compensating Messi in 2014 with player of the tournament even when he wasn't deserving of it and denying Mbappe similar compensation after his lawfully earned Goldenbooth amounts to double standard or speaking with both sides of your mouth. Again, Messi might have accomplished more than CR7 and probably is even the GOAT, the fact still remains that I remain ever sympathetic to CR7 because all his awards were duly earned without pampering or unnecessary sympathy from any body. This is evident in FIFA acknowledging that XAVI should have won the 2010 Balon d or. Again, for winning Copa America while Ronaldo did not enjoy similar privilege for winning a more prestigious title in Euro. Moreover, Lewa should have won it that year. This not withstanding, Respect should be given to whom it is due and MESSI deserves nothing but that������������������������� |
