This is not the way to speak of your country at an international forum.

Making unguarded and unqualified statements that denigrate the entire judiciary is ridiculous.

So all children and spouses of judges appointed into the judiciary in Nigeria are unqualified. And Nigeria is the only country where offsprings tend to follow their parents into their parent's professions. It doesn't happen in other countries

Do citizens of those countries go to international fora to demand intervention of external international agencies in their country's internal affairs?

Every little thing, some Nigerians will shame their country on the international stage, calling on the UN, USA, UK, EU to intervene. Is it down to colonisation-induced inferiority complex or what. You end up giving foreigners the impression that black people are unable to govern themselves.

Painting the entire judiciary as corrupt is disgraceful. Many judges are some of the hardest working and most poorly paid professionals in Nigeria. Many of them are not corrupt. It is so unfair to paint them all with the same brush.

Just because you're contesting as a Labour party candidate in a forthcoming election, you took to running the image of the entire judiciary through the mud before an international audience.

Are there no corrupt judges in America, Europe, South America etc. Do you see their lawyers running their country 's name through the mud at international conferences and calling for external intervention.

Challenges within the judiciary are not unique to Nigeria. Like other countries we have to find our ways of addressing them locally.

When you run the judiciary, and by implication the Nigerian legal profession down before such an important international audience, is it any surprise that education and work experience obtained in Nigeria is often not recognised abroad?

Do Ghanaian, South African, Kenyan, Indian, Sri Lanka etc lawyers also run to international forums to condemn their country 's judiciary is such generalised way?

Are Nigerian judges more corrupt than Indian judges for example.

The country desperately needs investment, both local and international. How do you think potential international investors will feel hearing your unguarded, unjustified generalisations.

All because you are a Labour Party politician.

You are a disgrace Mr Akpata.
People like you are the ones that enhance and abhor corruption. Mr. Akpata is saying the gospel truth. Who doesnt know that Nigeria institutions are dead corrupt. From the judiciary to the executives to legislative are in deep ocean of corruption. It better to say it to world so that they can come to our rescue because who is going to help us anyways,is it the same president that emerged in a scrupulous manner. Abeg rest Nigeria is beyond redemption with people like you

This is the problem with you APC supporters. You leave substance and start attacking the messenger. The retired supreme court justice said the same exact thing recently. You think his audience was only Nigerians?
While you're attacking Akpata, your federal judges were flown to UK recently for a "judicial retreat" all expenses paid by NNPC or one of its subsidiaries. You think the UK and other European countries did not see that aberration?
You only deceive yourself not others. A man set free by our supreme court pleaded guilty when he appeared in a UK magistrate court.
Keep defending nonsense and attacking those who speak up. It will reach you soon

Re: Akpata: Good Judge Emerging In Nigeria Is By Luck, Says Ex-NBA President by Housing(m): 9:00am On Nov 18, 2023
Olumide Apata is an accidental Lawyer, and a bad one. He wants to be political correct because of his political ambition hence the need to satisfy the populist Movement.

He is not a good leader nor an intelligent Advocate how can any patriotic individual condemn with bringing solution. Was the platform the proper forum to dance naked ? Is he going to get what he wanted (Edo State Governor)? Definitely NO,

Apata tenure as the NBA President witnessed the lowest as Lawyers were seen fighting for souvenirs and show crass irresponsibility during NBA annual conference.

It is high time for the NJC, the Bar and the Bench to see him in his true colour. He had indeed justified those that against his candidature as NBA President back then as to they described him as an accidental Lawyer, who rarely go to Court as his a property Lawyer hence lack of deep Legal knowledge, Constitutional understanding and very low ethical conduct.

What a shame to the Legal Professionals in the Country

Oh shut it!!
When you and your fellow APC maniacs carried BBOG on your heads even up to the doorsteps of the White House, why didn't you preach your empty sermon then?

When your Boko brothers in APC were bombing UN headquarters while leaving state govt Houses and Aso Rock, why didn't you remind them they are disgracing Nigeria? Were you hypocrites not milking those situations to your political advantage then?

In case you're too obtuse to understand English, what Akpata is complaining about is how it has become a fashionable trend in Nigerian judiciary to see spouse and children of politicians become judges while not qualified and not only that, worse still, to be elevated to CoA at least, you need a governor or big shot politician to sponsor you.

Can you tell us how you plan to address these anomalies locally?

Just recently the Chief Judge of FHC visited the FCT minister in broad daylight to beg for lands for him and his colleagues in Abuja. You think only Nigerians are in Abuja to see that nonsense?

Oga keep quiet!!

He prefers his country men staying in prison awaiting trial for several years due to the incompetence of the judiciary than speaking the truth out about the ills in the judiciary.

His speech is nothing but bad publicity, I'll conceived and very unfortunate. The forum wasn't, the platform was wrong and the total message was in bad faith. He was the President of NBA in the past what was his attempt to right the wrong? We all witnessed how shambolic his tenure was, fighting with his then General Secretary.

He was at there as Nigerian Ambassador of Legal Principle and Image not otherwise he really messed up and represented his Country (Nigeria) badly

As bad as PDP was they were getting better with each election, with each judgement

But APC seem to be getting worse and worse

And there is only one way it always end military take over, might not be today, or tomorrow or even in 5 years but that's the end if we continue like this
You all just keep capping, if 2023 elections where held under pdp, the elections would have been over before it started. Apc has given up better elections than pdp. Do u see 2million votes coming from kano?
Did u see 1.4million coming from port Harcourt.

You gross should be at the lack of preparation on the part of the opposition parties. For instance Labour party going into elections without party agents.
Pdp and Lp challenging elections without proof of rigging and couldn't even provide an alternate result showing how they won.

The edge apc has over them is in how they prepare for elections. Leave beer parlor gist and ask any politician you know.
For example even knowing they had a 70% chance of winning the elections, they had instituted a legal team months before elections and the legal work began then.
Look at kano, they had gone through all the ballot papers and picked out the ones not signed and this single act is pushing apc to reclaim kano.
Opposition at the moment is a joke they are more about internet sensation and emotions over putting in the real work.
Apc in 2015 didn't take power by engaging in frivolity. They put in work and matched their works with action.
