How lack of Judicial Autonomy affects the common man

1. It helps to devalue Nigerian courts. Investors insist on inserting foreign jurisdictions in arbitration clauses as loci for resolution of business disputes.

2. Investors insist on clauses that will take all forms of dispute resolution outside Nigerian courts so that they won't hire Nigerian lawyers.

3. Judges adjudicate with fear with respect to any case involving the government, ministries, departments and agencies due to arm-twisting and undue interference.

4. Judges work hard to please the Government so that the Governors will agree to release budget votes to the Judiciary.

5. Court orders are not effectively enforced against the Government thereby turning the Government to a Leviathan.

6. Having captured the Legislature and the Judiciary, the Governor becomes the sole administrator of his State, acting with impunity and above the rule of law.

7. Democracy loses its checks and balances, cascading to authoritarianism, then to totalitarianism, which blossoms to full dictatorship with time.

8. The resultant is that institutions are personalised while the Judiciary becomes aristocratic with their key officials being those having consanguineous relationship with politicians.

9. They stifle professionalism, human rights and good governance.

_Support an independent judiciary today. Aluta continua._

10. It scares foreign investors away as only few people will be willing to invest huge amounts of dollars in a country where the judiciary is forced to bend to the whims and caprices of the executive arm of government — a form of authoritarianism.

Lack of foreign investment is bad for the economy, bad for foreign exchange and the labour market. In short, it increases the poverty level of the country.

I am a lawyer and I stand for the autonomy of the Judiciary.

That's how a govt traffic body intercepted my car for no reason because I dropped off my client along the way. After much drama was taken to a mobile court, the persecutor couldn't present the case properly because they had no evidence, nor proper ground to present the case. From all what they could present they were at fault. The judge asked if I were guilty I said no, then I plead my case, after all the proof I presented to my defence, the foolish judge still charged me with 20k fine just because the govt needs revenue or rather he wants to please those tout. I was ashamed not just of the judge, but of the system. Judiciary in Nigeria is rubbish except you have bags of money to spend

An independent judiciary can only be possible if their fundings are not connected to the government. And how can we do this without any correlation with the government to these funds?

you will need a total overhaul of our political system and modifications on the constitution. Gbam!!!

I heard that the judiciary was fighting for it.... This is one of the many things wrong with our country, it's also the reason why the office of the president is the most sought after because the office has become too powerful....

If only the founding Fathers of these African Nations copied the West but instead they chose the Communism(Marxist) way of doing things. Now see the result.

Who is government. If buhari is government, then God punish buhari. If others before him had the prerogative of doing it but failed to do it then God punish them even in their graves. Everyone who sees the good he's supposed to do but chooses the bad to his own advantage and to the detriment of the masses, may God punish all of una
