Many insulting the retired CJN have not and nay never amount to anything close to a CJN but we all understand the small minded people

Someone whose chargeNbail brother is the most educated person in the family will be insulting a CJN

Lmaooo stop radiating you and your people unto others

If you are not benefiting directly from this APC government I mean at least 50,000 dollars a year and you wrote that rubbish above them your case is beyond help

No neutral person can say the CJN did well absolutely no basis for that

I would have said if you put on your thinking cap you will clearly read that I was not talking about him doing well or not but about him getting to the zenith of his carreer as a legal practitional, But how do I tell you to put on a cap you dont have.
Most of you think and so you talk from the debt of hunger in your stomach, unfortunately you believe that same goes for everyone that is why you assume that because I respect a man who has attained the highest legal postion in the Nation I am being paid.

Unlike you some of us dont need to get paid to speak our minds and let me shock you.
We speak from the debt of knowledge we have, unbiased,logical and rational. We arw not controlled by hunger. And stop assuming everyone is in your shoes.

PS: Hate him or love him you can not measure up to him in anyway and with this negative energy i hope you dont transfer that limitation to your children

CJN is not the top of law career it's a political Position not in any way gotten by merit

So your point makes no sense

1) not every lawyer wants to be a judge
and become top lawyers who help people and win landmark cases that doesn't mean they don't get to their top as lawyers

2) some one to study and become profs of law
That is a Top in the law career

Every Nigerian know that becoming a judge and CJN is mere at the will of the president
