NJC should go to hell. What have they done about all the justices issuing orders in Abuja for matters outside their jurisdiction?

We need a very serious revolution in Nigeria that would sweep away all corrupt judges, police, INEC officials. Nigeria can never progress with this set of rogues in high offices.
