The NJC and not the president would decide the next CJN

President decides.NJC sends three names to the president to choose from.
He is even at liberty to reject the 3,just has to show the njc reasons why he doesn't like the first batch sent to him.
D only reason why I have my doubts about this is that PMB has shown he doesn't trully av the heart for a true anticorruption fight.He may chicken out,when those related to him or his cabal or that av also given biased judgements in their favour are also indicted,after gaining our initial support.
Since 1999,justice at the courts av been for the highest bidder,particularly in politically exposed persons.
If evidence of corruption is brought fought against these judges,lets support pmb and give him another chance to fight corruption without bias.

Never in the history of Nigeria there been a deliberate attempt to emasculate and destroy state institutions like we are seeing under General Buhari, it appears there is a systematic plot to silence everyone except Buharis cows.

These people are playing a script, the arrest of the Next CJN on trumpt up charges of corruption was well timed to give Buhari the perfect excuse not to present his name for confirmation as CJN as such keeping him incommunicado will allow the current Chief Justice of Nigeria, Hon. Justice Mahmud Mohammed due for retirement by November 10, to handover to The next in rank to Onnoghen Hon. Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad from Bauchi State. a Northern Muslim as acting CJN .

Justices Onnoghen who is the second in rank and has been nominated by the Federal Judical Service commission (FJSC) as successor to the outgoing Chief Justice of Nigeria just last week

Most likely the hawks were taken unawares by the FJSC nomination and decided to strike before the national judical council (NJC) makes the final Nomination


Since after Justice Irikefe in 1985, the North has produced virtually all the CJNs till date: Justice Mohammed Bello (1987-1995), Justice Muhammadu Lawal Uwais (1995-2006), Justice Salisu Modibo Alfa Belgore (2006-2007), Justice Idris Legbo Kutigi (2007-2009), Justice Aloysius Iyorgyer Katsina-Alu (2009-2011), Justice Aloma Mariam Mukhtar (2012-2014) and the presiding deity, Justice Mahmud Mohammed (2014 till date).


No matter what a judge is perceived to have done against the APC whether true or imaginary it does not warrant the kind of criminal treatment been meted out to them, the Gestapo manner in which the homes of Judges were raided and members of their families beaten up points to the fact that Nigeria has indeed gone to the dogs a nation where the only laws that exists are the laws that suits the hawks.

The invasion of the homes of the high & Supreme court Judges at an unholy hour is part of a wider plot to turn the judiciary into a bingo in the hands of Buhari and his gang, initially they plotted to use the courts to sweep the leadership of the the National Assembly into Kuje prison, when it failed the turned on the courts.

Everyone knows the incompetent and clueless Buhari will be the simplest President to be impeached if the National Assembly decides to thus his attempt to plant a stooge as CJN and destroy an institution.

Whether Buhari will be allowed to destroy what is left of Nigeria will be known in the next few days

But onnoghen was not arrested. Two Supreme Court Justices were arrested one from South East, Justice Ngwuta precisely (http://sunnewsonline.com/security-operatives-raid-judges-homes/) and justice Inyang (http://politicsngr.com/dss-arrest-supreme-court-judge-justice-inyang-okoro-akwa-ibom-elections-bribe/) Besides if we go by sentiments, I think PMB won't have a problem picking justice onnoghen as the next CJN. Have you forgotten he was one the three judges that rulled in his favour during the 2007 presidential election tribunal case in which they canceled the election of Yar'adua.

Lol, i thought this clown has grown up? Kanu face his enemies in court all smiles while Tompolo is in exile. Chai, Ijaw cowards

But you people always want Ijaw "militants" to challenge FG while you attach. You couldn't even dare FG and you claim to be brave.

FYI FG is granting Amnesty (settlement) to "Ijaw militants", FG is begging Ijaw militants to "negotiate" while brave IPOB is usually greeted with brutality and hostility.

As for Tompolo, he will sort himself out. But you should sympathise with Kanu.



PS TO READERS: I am not in support of militancy

This is another northern agenda..just watch...they know how to capitalise on the sensibilities and ignorance of nigerians especially southerners and most especially the ever noisy barrels de la empty afonja...they paint up something that looks like 'truth' and strike and bring down their target(s) and carry out the agenda... Sanusi did same to the likes of perceived southern powerful bank CEOs like cecilia ibru and akingbola by painting them in bad light,'exposing' the bank operations which is commonplace in the banking industry...got them sacked,arrested,jailed...practically destroyed them..(SHAREHOLDERS NEVER COMPLAINED OF ANY ABNORMALITIES WHATSOVER)...and sold their banks away to mallams and other cronies..

The target here is the incoming CJN..SOUTHERN NIGERIA,BE WISE..STOP FIGHTING YOURSELVES LIKE YOU DO HERE. Nuff said o...

YouthsPC0:
In a nationwide crackdown, the Federal Government last night began rounding up judges suspected to have aided and abetted corruption in over the years.

But, the arrest of the judges, which was carried out by operatives from the Department of Security Services, was in relation to those who allegedly took huge cash to pervert the cause of Justice before, during and after the 2015 general elections.

Corrupt Judges is the worst form of Cancer that can destroy a nation. A new Sherif is inn town.

TonyeBarcanista:

Who is this one again?

As per first Paragraph, Avengers are HUSTLERS that have been condemned by various ijaw groups, monarchs, leaders of thought and elders. Get used to it.

Secondly, You don't even know what he stood for but he stood for everything good and even insist on a better Ijaw nation within the Nigeria federation.

IYC, INC, IPA etc have all pledged loyalty to Nigeria project while making case for restructuring to allow resource control.

Before I go on, who are you self?

Aprela from Amassoma...southern ijaw.

The last sentence in paragraph is all that make sense..so tell me when and au the intend restructuring to allow for resources control will be achieve in present Nigeria.

Between..why are so mean tryin to protect the interest of the hausa/fulani more..but careless au the ijaw communities has degraded on tothe activities of the same ruling power..thru their cronies companies.

Grundig:

That tonye guy is similar to many nairalanders. They do not read. For those who do, they have honed tbe habit of nitpicking what they choose to read and undetstand.

It is shocking and a pathetic situation these days on NL. Alot of intellectualy lazy, ignorant and bigoted fellaz just full everywhere.

TonyeBarcanista:

Jonathan LOST an election, we Ijaws have got over it. Some of us(late campaigners) of his reelection lost lost of friends but it is politics. You (and your kind) are too bitter and bigoted to move ahead.

Is Jonathan not an Ijaw man? Why has Ijaw moved on and some of you people refused to? kilode!



keep your Good Morning for Kanu

Why did PDP win in Bayelsa and Rivers if Ijaws have moved on and why are they protesting against non payment of GEJ's salary and also in support of PEJ, is this what you call moved on?

Speak for yourself and don't include everyone else in your opinion

You ate a clown but I'll reply you this time...

Election in Bayelsa was GOVERNORSHIP between Dickson(Ijaw) and Sylva(Ijaw). It has nothing to do with Jonathan's loss.

PDP won simply because Bayelsa is PDP stronghold and Sylva wasn't a new face not because of Jonathan or Buhari.

Thirdly, protest against Jonathan's allowances or PEJ's probe has nothing to do with 2015 election. They simply have loyalists that took to the street to show solidarity. It has nothing to do with the election.

We are preparing for 2015 and have left GEJ's election loss behind us. Ijaws have moved on.

you people should worry about your own agitation.
You are not Ijaw but you keep crying more than the bereaved even when the bereaved has long stopped crying.

Ifianfi

Ngwuta and Iyang deserve what's coming back to them. When they were jocularly reading out the verdict of the Kogi Governorship Tussle in line with the aspirations of their pay masters, they forgot that karma is actually a bitc..h abi? Good riddance to bad rubbish....Jail the idiots!

Our destiny is in d hands of these Justices and they hav really toiled wit it...A corrupt Nigerian politician has no difference wit a Judge coz he Loot our money meant for our welfare, money for our mornin, afternoon and evenin food, bribe the judges out of d same money he looted to adjourn d case till 10yrs time, Then we the ordinary poor masses go hungry.....and then I say they are d cause of hunger n hardship in d land

TonyeBarcanista:

Very simple, As an IPOB that he is, He should be concerned about Mr KANU instead of bothering about Ijaw troubles.

kudos bro. Keep knocking sense into these IPOB people. They think they can bully everybody to their submission.

Reread the bolded statement and tell me who is the clown between me and you.

First of all, are you still preparing for 2015 elections?

How come you (one man) has become the voice of the entire Ijaws in Nigeria, isn't this laughable to you?

Back to the topic, which party does Dickson belong to? You know the elections was beyond just the candidates involved, APC had all the money to dole out yet they failed in their attempt to ridicule GEJ in his homeland. Stop acting like you don't know this

It is because of people like you who thrive in division that we are bing taken for a ride by northern folks

What? A leader seek for his people's emancipation not enslavement.

On Militants irrespective of their nomenclature, they are hustlers, we know some of these people. They CAN'T emancipate our people because to them it is personal survival. From NPVF to MEND to Avengers etc. It is about Amnesty, Pipelines Surveillance Contracts, NIMASSA contracts etc.

Secondly, I am champion of Ijaw struggle even when Jonathan was in power. Some of you emergency agitators were silent 5-6years ago, but people like us was never silent.

We are at a point where we must realise the power of strategic and intellectual struggle because no group of criminals can successfully do it.

There's corruption in the judiciary. Whatever needs to be done, should be done.

Firstly, you ARE NOT Ijaw but you carry our matter like food.

While your kind vote out of bitterness, hatred and emotional backwardness, Bayelsans ( Ijaws) voted based on choice. I supported Dickson as a patty man not because he was more Ijaw than Sylva. In fact, the result was very close to show that I jaws voted based on both candidates and not bitterness of GEJ predicament like your kind.

And I am 100% qualified to speak for Ijaw because I am in tune with my people's aspirations.



Will you now face your own group and strategize for your Director's release?

TonyeBarcanista:
The arrest is simply ethnically motivated to give the Fulani nominee the seat of CJN using fictitious indictment to disqualify the SS Justice.

Sometimes when you talk I : st wonder if u have ever been to school...so because he is the next inline he should not be arrested of corruption charges

Leave the mofo to continue saying trash

These judges hav really turned democracy upside down...They have given democracy a "See finish". In their profession, the highest bidder wins a Case. That's why Nearly all of them are millionaires.
If so, what is the hope of a poor man in d society whose case is tabled b4 a judge??
That is why our corrupt leaders wil commit Loot and they wil Easily tell u "Go to court"

I Love Nigeria But I hate it's Laws

If there are damming evidence of corruption against those judges, the arrest is in order.

meanwhile,am new here,I just read all these so called 22 rules to be observed before posting a comment and I noticed that they are all quashed away, no one follows them esp. rule 2 and 22

mazifrankmore:
You are arresting judges who did not rule in your favour but honouring justice Aband who dishes out frivolous judgement like egusi soup?

May GOD help this cesspit of a country.

talk all you want, you and I know how corrupt the judiciary is. thank you.

divinehand2003:


And the dollars in their numerous accounts, both home and abroad are beyond all they could ever get in their life time without any other known source of income.
Abi judges too dey do money rituals?
I beg they should go and answer for themselves joor. Corruption must be thrown out of Nigeria by force.

lol, some Nigerians eh. You mean corruption like EFCC returning Timipriye Silva 48 houses abi Buratai Dubai houses. Look at you, Buhari is clamping down on opposition and you're saying he's throwing out corruption. The one his friends and party member did are forgiven. Well , nothing last forever, Obasanjo did more than this and at the end, he left power and all the people he arrested illegally were freed.

mazifrankmore:
This impunity is getting out of hand.
Soon they will start arresting people on the streets for criticising this government.

North keeps on using yerubas in government for dirty job like this.just check the names of officials who undertook this dirty assignment.

They use and dump them like Tinubu. After using Tinubu to win presidential election, he has been rendered useless. If yorubas want let them continue to follow them like Cows.

Kudos to Fayose for his dogged stance. Tinubu would do better to form alliance with Fayose n PDP now to claim his deserved position as national party leader.

Buhari should tell us who made him judge and prosecutor.

Who determined the fact they were corrupt, I guess it was Buhari's kitchen cabinets

And they are rounding up the judges who don't support bubu. Lol


To escape justice is to start supporting APC
