Kneel ke ? As how now ? What kind of humiliation is that? Better you send him to jail than send him to embarrass him in court like that . That is intimidation and unnecessary harassment . The judge should just recuse himself and the judiciary should open an investigation on all parties and mete out appropriate punishment .

Personally I dislike our court systems . The law only works when the executives and the influential Nigerians want . We need an impartial judiciary to move forward.

The judge was lenient to the lawyer. Ordinary kneel down and hands up and NBA is complaining. What if the judge had ordered for him to be remanded in prison for one week and sweep the court premises for another one week?
One day that same judge will ask the police to flog your father with koboko and we laugh so hard while they are flogging your father.

Where did you read that he complied? The lawyer did not comply, and that was why the proceeding ended abruptly.
Can you point to where it was reported in the story that the lawyer did not comply?

That's not true, the lawyer never knelt down. No qualified lawyer would ever have knelt down in such circumstances

Tell him the appropriate anti-graft agency and avoid exaggerating a minor issue. Unless, of course, you are uncertain yourself. I suspect you may be considering the ICPC. Personally, I find this your type of posts, lacking clarity and coherence, rather unhelpful.
Appreciate anti-grat agency?
ICPC as in how?
What's wrong with you people
You mean you have not heard of the NJC!?

Certainly not from my comment.

Ah, even the supposed judges too dey fo this kind of nonsense?

Wait o, did the other so-called lawyer kneel? If e do am, e no know his work be that. Even layman like us know say the judge should be in soup for that nonsense ogogoro behavior.

A judge is not above accountability, and a lawyer is not beneath dignity. If a judge orders a lawyer to kneel, that’s very likely abuse of judicial authority—not normal courtroom discipline.

In many countries (including Nigeria), complaints against judges go to bodies like the National Judicial Council (NJC) can intervene with advice from Nigeria bar association.

Which judge is that ?
Dogalmighty17:
Why won't the judge have the guts to say that when ALL of them have been compromised. The judge whose wife was caught with over 160,000 dollars in raw cash is still sitting in Abuja, sentencing 'criminals' and yet he is a bigger criminal.
Nigeria will not change until the judiciary is transformed.

We really have a long way to go in this country
Is it today you know that we are very diverse in this country? Even in reasonings, we are broadly diverse. Some people will still go all the way to vote their tormentors and still come back to complain for four years.

Nigerians are only existing, they are not living!
