Where do we go from here? This is the bait of the erstwhile hope of the common man.

Federal Government Uncovers Monumental Corruption In The Nation's Judiciary

THE presidency appears to be in a dilemma as to the nature of its intervention in the judicial arm of government, following the submission of a secret report

which indicted a number of judicial officers of monumental corruption.

Investigations by the Nigerian Tribune confirmed that the government is in possession of the document which detailed lots of underhand dealings in the judiciary.

It was confirmed that unethical practices, such as judgment procurement and actual instances of corruption were probed by the secret committee.

According to investigations, the report, which detailed incidents in the judiciary from 2006 to 2011, confirmed that a number of judges have been named as “living above their legal means.”

It was further confirmed that a number of judicial officers were linked to what was termed “judgment procurement,” which was said to have gulped about N106 billion in recent years.

“The bulk of that sum has been salted away in foreign lands to procure properties in the name of fake companies, fake children, schools and fake associates,” a source privy to the document quoted the submission.

“The last has not been heard of the development in the judiciary, as far as corruption is concerned. A report in the hands of the state has confirmed that some properties were bought globally, especially in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), South Africa and London. Some of the real owners are judicial personnel, whose total emoluments cannot in anyway justify the purchases.

“Some of them have been found to send their children to some of the most expensive schools in the world, without taking loans. These are mind-boggling discoveries,” the source said.

A source said that the government was worried that a sacred arm of government was being desecrated by certain forces and that some of those making the loudest noise about the situation in the judiciary were “mere poster images of corruption.”

Though the source said that the government was working to ensure that its actions in the judiciary were not misconstrued as political moves, it was learnt that a decision had been taken to ensure that the guilty did not go unpunished.

“The comprehensive report detailing the rot in the judiciary is in the hands of the highest authorities. I can confirm to you that those mentioned in the report as having been linked to improper conduct cannot go unpunished. The offences vary from judgment procurement to undue influence on judges. It dates back to the Obasanjo/Atiku era,” the source said.

“It has become so embarrassing to the government that judgments of Nigeria, which were readily cited in the United Kingdom and other lands are no longer regarded. Law students outside the country no longer see the judgments from Nigeria as worth the paper on which they are written. It is a battle the government must fight to ensure a proper demarcation between politics and the judiciary,” the source said

@Tuma any deal on black iphone 4 factory unlocked 32gig as exchange for a white 4s? jeffphilips@gmail.com

THAT MAN IS A GRAMMATICAL [b]BOKO-HARAM [/b]YOU DONT WANA GO DOWN THERE

They might want to since they can't just see any good in the way Tu Face expresses himself. Let them go and have a contest with him. That was why I said they might not come out alive

I just wonder why Nigerians will be hating on those who can't speak good English very well. Very few English people speak good English. Check very well. Tu Face have never pretended to be fantastic in this regard but he has been more than fantastic in his chosen career. Isn't that enough for you to applaud? I f you know how to speak good English go and challenge Igodomigodo and let's see if you will come out alive.

Beaf is recruiting more foot soldiers into Nairaland with the assistance of Were to fight the Nairaland battle their master appeared to be loosing on daily basis. Reno is holding tweeter and Abati is on the dailies. It's a shame!

Memory size and factory unlocked?

Why is this not making front page early?

It is obvious the Federal government is totally handicapped in this maiming and killing of innocent Nigerians going about their normal duties. Meanwhile our security forces are using all their force on protesters fighting for the good of them masses. What is Ringim tone still doing in power eh Jonah? What is Jonah still doing in power eh David Mark/Tambuwal? What is Jonah/David Mark/Tambuwal still doing doing in power eh Iheanacho? RIP Enenche

I doubt if you know the meaning of low life.Piss Off!

The meaning is not far fetched. Just stand in front of your mirror and you will see it yourself. Okpe I of Nairaland

jodeci:
You are a bloody noise maker.My question was straight and simple.

You do not deserve attention. Your low life is obvious. You should be in a rehab. That is where you belong. Traitors!!!

jodeci:
I hope you and everyone related to you will be there,it is not enough to be an internet activist.

History will not be a good friend to people like you when the time comes. You will have your children to contend with because they will hold you responsible for their wasted generation.

Kobojunkie:
Not really. I would rather wait as I said earlier for tommorow to come and clear things up. If you look at the ChannelsTV article, the Associated Press report from the last couple of hours, and the other article I linked to, there seems to be a lot of inconsistencies with the reports from Tribune and TheNation. I mean how can Labor agree and then disagree with the very same? Even dem doppleganger no even fit do something that silly.

I think I should go back to what I suggested we all do earlier . . .

[size=13pt]Those of you busy spreading false news should know that you aid in ruining the chance this country has for real change. Instead of constantly creating threads with conflicting reports. . . .most of them UNSUBSTANTIATED rumours. . .  rather than allow ourselves be used to derail the efforts of the people, why not stay your hands until we get real reports on changes occurring, or not occurring.[/size]

We have tried all we can to help you. Anyway you have some few hours to clarify things yourself. But I personally watched the obviously dazed Omar himself speaking himself. He looked defeated and I guess he didn't even know when he mentioned the suspension of street protests, cos he didn't start those protests.

@kobo hope you will be cleared by this link.

Kobojunkie:
Really? Cause that happens to be the same ChannelsTV I have been listening to all evening myself and I heard no such. The Channel has been repeating the same lines it had during it's political show earlier in the evening, before any meeting was even confirmed with Labor. Matter of fact, till the 10pm news, there was no confirmation on an actual meet with Labor, by the President, this evening.

Channels Tv spoke to the labour leader on camera after the meeting and was aired some moments ago. The labour leader look subdued and unconvincing when announcing the suspension of street protests.

Kobojunkie:
Confirmed by whom?  

Same means information has been flowing since the whole issue began, print or electronic including online media. Full text of the speech is on saharareporters.

Not a rumour but confirmed news.

toluxa1:
All the N65 or nothing people are just wasting their time. This is a final, I repeat FINAL decision by Government. I will suggest anyone who protest this infact to be arrested.

You will be the first person to be arrested in your home framed with trumped up charges of robbery and murder.

Wily1Wily:
very nice, Jonathan should arrest those Stuupid Yoruba guardians of Yoruba Fraudsters, Ugly Kekere Bakere failed fake Prophet that specialize in ripping his congregation off.

Little minds

A dog destined for destruction does not hear the mater's whistle. I want to believe this is a rumour emanating from the SSS itself. It is a political suicide if it's true.

That Fashola voted for or against the removal is not the issue in contest here. Even if he is the chief proponent of the idea he has displayed an uncouth maturity for allowing the protesters have their way. It goes a long way to show how matured and democratic he is. A virtue most other political players do not have. And in a real democratic presidential system of government he is in no way answerable to the President.

Phone number and pictures if possible please

You need etiquette when you came here to spew poo? If ever he deals on oil, does that automatically mean he is part of you people's cabal? Please leave this forum if this is all you came here to do.

Another fake carnival, in this part of the world we do festivals and not carnivals. Anyway, at least it's better that the one that was done in port:hacourt.

Not necessary, learn how to appreciate even little things.

Pictures would help, I think

Both GTmobile and internet access platform still not working at the moment. Just tried them.

werepeLeri:
Its obvious - so, agree to it - You hate GEJ, you hate his balls, you hate hearing his name, you hate anything GEJ, - so, deal with it - he is still your President, so, keep hating, while he keeps ruling you. Someday, you will keep quiet, because you make no sense.

Here he comes, assistant Voltron to Beaf!!!

coded guy:
All this talk.

Some people need to die, how its gonna happen is what we should be talking about.

Am very sure say if you hear knockout this Christmas you go run fall many times. Where the liver when you want take fight godogodo? The only people when fit talk all these revolution matter when I go listen na all those muslim fundamentalists like BH and the rest. No be we Christians when fear to even sick talk less of die nowadays. The next thing you go hear be God go help us!

"I was not born ris!!!, and in my youth, I never imazined that I would be where I am today, but not once did I ever give up. I was raised by my mother and father with zust enough money to meet our daily needs. In my early days in school, I had no sus!!!!, no school bags. I carried my books in my hands but never despaired; no car to take me to school but I never despaired.

There were days I had only one meal but I never despaired. I walked miles and crossed rivers to school every day but I never despaired. I did not have power, I did not have zenerators, I studied with lanterns, but I never despaired"



I bet many of us complaining here now were moved by those words and voted massively for the erstwhile "suless" man and are scared stiff and angry anticipating these below words from him.

"But now am living in  multi million empire buildings, riding on bomb proof vehicles. You too can make it"
We must continue to enjoy this fresh air till he leaves no matter how much we rant and complain. All those talking here about revolution know too well they are just speaking from their bottoms cos we know the truth WE CAN'T

Nice doing biz with you Cashcard, service delivery was perfect and more booster to Nigeria i-business. Another trustworthy Nairalander bizness dude here,

Your phone is switched off.

lagerwhenindoubt:
Sadly the middle-class (evidently from the several affordable postings on Nairaland) are the ones leading the country down the path of repugnant poverty and . @Beaf and co (other dissenting opposition ACN, CPC, APGA shitshitshit) you clearly show your fervent and fiercely loyal affiliations to symbols of decadent corruption who have wallowed in unhallowed disservice to humanity, openly parade blatant and decidedly evil/cruel will and purpose for self-interests rather than nationhood. Hypocrites whose only joy is the sustenance of this Evil Government and the seemingly ever-lasting injustice to the dis-franchised masses - may your graves be 1ft closer to the sun 

Absolutely seconded
