My Only Disappointment is that DSS didnt follow up with more arrests Yesterday....



STATE OF EMERGENCY ON THE JUDICIARY BY NBA?
YES, I AGREE. BUT TOO LATE IN COMING.

THE STATE OF EMERGENCY SHOULD HAVE BEEN DECLARED WHEN:

* A JUDGE GRANTED PERPETUAL INJUNCTION ON EX-GOV. ODILI'S CORRUPTION CASE

* WHEN EX-GOV. LUCKY IGBINEDON RECEIVED A PAT ON THE BACK ON CONVICTION AND TOLD TO PAY BACK JUST N3m AS FINE. THE MONEY HE ALREADY HAD IN HIS CAR BOOTH

*WHEN THE PENSION MEGA THIEF RECEIVED A SCANDALOUS PADDY PADDY SENTENCE

*WHEN JUDGES RANDOMLY GRANT INTERLOCUTORY INJUNCTION ON CRIMINAL MATTER. ACCORDING TO THE ERUDITE RADICAL PROF. BIODUN JEYIFO, NIGERIA IS THE ONLY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD THAT THIS PRACTICE IS DONE. NOBODY HAS DISPUTED THIS.

*WHEN SOME LAWYERS PARTICULARLY SANs WOULD FLAGRANTLY ABUSE COURT PROCESS, FILE FRIVOLOUS APPLICATIONS TO DELAY, FRUSTRATE TO NO END CORRUPTION CASES INVOLVING HIGH PROFILE PUBLIC THIEVES

*WHEN SOME LAWYERS WOULD TELL THEIR RICH CLIENTS TO HIDE IN THEIR CARS, CONTINUE TO HIDE IN THE CREEKS/DESRRT/ABROAD, OR DELIBERATELY ABSENT FROM COURT. AND THE COUNSELS WOULD COME OUT WITHOUT SHAME TO TELL US THAT IT IS NOT THEIR JOB TO LOOK FOR HIDING SUSPECTS. YET THEY KNOW HOW TO COLLECT THEIR LEGAL FEE FROM THE HIDING GHOST SUSPECTS

LAWYER RASCALITY HAS NO OTHER MEANING. CONVENIENTLY FORGETTING THAT AS A LAWYER AND AS AN OFFICER IN THE TEMPLE OF JUSTICE, YOUR PRIMARY DUTY IS TO SEE THAT JUSTICE IS SERVED FAIRLY & SPEEDILY.

*THE NBA SHOULD HAVE DECLARED A STATE OF EMERGENCY BEYOND RHETORICS WHEN CORRUPTION CASES INVOLVING HIGH PROFILE PUBLIC OFFICERS LAST FOREVER IN THE NATION'S COURTS

*WHEN IT IS NOW A COMMON PRACTICE BY MANY LAWYERS TO HIRE ARMED THUGS TO SECURE POSSESSION OF LANDED PROPERTY AFTER A HIGH COURT RULING IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE OTHER PARTY FROM APPEALING THE CASE.
THIS TERRIBLE SELF HELP PRACTICE HAS MADE MANY LAWYERS MORE POPULAR IN MOTOR PARKS WITH THE "TUALE" BOYS THAN EVEN IN NBA CIRCLE.

A NOBLE PROFESSION CANNOT JUST BE NOBLE BY NAME OR HEREDITARY. BUT BY CONSISTENT NOBLE CONDUCT, ENNOBLING ETHICS AND PRACTICE DISCIPLINE IN ORDER TO REGULARLY WEED OUT ROTTEN EGGS.

LAWYERS AND JUDGES WITHOUT SOCIAL CONSCIENCE ARE WORSE THAN ARMED ROBBERS

YES, THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD LAWYERS & JUDGES IN NIGERIA WHO WILL NEVER BE DESPERATE TO BE SUPER RICH BY ALL MEANS NECRDSARY INCLUDING SACRIFICING THE NOBILITY OF THE WELL RESPECTED PROFESSION.

IF YOUR HOUSE IS STINKING WITH LOADS OF DEBRIS AND YOU DO NOT SERIOUSLY BOTHER TO CLEAN IT, BLAME NOBODY BUT YOURSELF IF AND WHEN "WOLE WOLE" POUNCE ON YOU.

LAWYERS & JUDICIARY PLEASE HEAL THYSELF FIRST.

May God Bless Muhammadu Buhari!

Is this still the nigeria that great activities of the 90's and 80's fought to restore democracy and rule of law?

What's has happened to Nigeria and some of her citizens?

Can't believe that the citizens of this great nation are the ones calling for absolute dictatorship., and screaming to hell with the rule of law..
This is not the nigeria I know..
Are they jinxed?

Imagine comparing our institutions with that of a first world country..where institutions ve been built with laid down rules for decades of years.
To compare with ours,that our institution are directly under presidency in power.

From efcc dss,nsa,all are directly under the president. Can we say that of developed nations that we're comparing ourselves with?

Nigeria is finished.

Some time last month..the presidency requested for emergency power tocarry out its imaginary duties, public opinion rejected it,our national assembly rejected it,the president denied it..cos we all know that such power will lead to dictatorship.

Fast forward..

They presidency has forcefully empowered itself...with the emergency power the country rejected...under guise of fighting corruption.

Now every dictator always have an excuse..for being a tyrant...which sway sentiments for them.
Buhari has chosen corruption...and the best option that he believe will instill fear..on the masses..is the rule of law..

sold corruption to his country..invade the judiciary with an unproven allegations. Slander them in public court and let his fans do the. Rest..

The rule of law has just been buried..the judicially caged..and the fans celebrates..he has gotten the power..a tyrant is gradually being given a legit power.

Now this judges..we all may agree they're corrupt..tho no prima facie evidence..all allegations.
Why not follow the process and procedures laid down by the laws..is it too hard?
Why the rush?why the criminality in the action?
No matter au corrupt a judge is..he still represents the law..and can't abscond..why not invite them..through public notices at least..why barbarism ?
And some ovasabi nigerians are hailing this..and even calling out the NBA and. NJC out..haa..this country's finished..

I weep for my country...i know many of these shouting and deriding the rule of law..bet me..have not witness tyranny ..so could hardly understand why well meaning nigerians are against this..

But maybe..there's is a purpose for all..buhari was not and never a presidential option..but they que..reformed and repackaged him.and today we're in recession and dollar is sliding more..

Maybe we allow him to be a dictator..so we will continue with our punishment..yes absolute power.

Maybe tomorrow when there is no nairaland or bellanaija..or media been censored,we will understand,cos they people must be thought au to respect the president and also loyal to the country..
There is and will always be reasons for a dictator.

Welcome all of us to the new nigeria...where democracy is under. Siege for corruption tobe fought.

Allwility:
The cable's editor needs to be re-educated like three times because this kind of thinking is what causes recession. Is the US and the Federal Republic operating the same constitution? No! Then what basis do they have to compare Uncle Sam and Naija?

Look, we arent discussing whether the judge is corrupt or not. We are discussing about the DSS blatant disregard for the rule of law. The cable position on this matter tire me o. O ga. So if China clamps down on the press, we should allow the same to happen in Nigeria abi?? Rubbish analogy.

discusant:
As vulnerable sets of Nigerians get deceived with the mantra of fighting corruption by Buhari government, Buhari himself has refused to do what can eradicate corrupt practices in Nigeria.

Corrupt practices in Nigeria are encouraged by the the Abuja strong, over-centralized government system where a few persons stay in Abuja, collect revenues from all over the country, share smaller proportion of the revenues to the states and local governments; the players in government remain distanced from the governed, no accountability to the governed.

This system has failed Nigeria, it creates indolent citizens who wait for next federal allocations day.
But because soldiers from Buhari clan restructured Nigeria politically and proliferated undue large number of states and local government councils in the north through unjust use of land mass as criterion, and the Buhari clan smiles home from Abuja every federal allocations day, Buhari clan is fighting tooth and nail to retain this failed governance system.
Any other clan that kicks against the system sees soldiers deployed to kill and silence the clan.

Buhari knows well that his anti corruption fight mantra is most deceptive.
No Nigerian was born to become corrupt. Corruption in Nigeria is from the bad governance system which Buhari and his clan have refused all attempts to restructure.

bettercreature:
imagine no high profile politician has been sent to jail since 1999 and youths are here spitting nonsense

Myde4naija:
your argument too doesn't make sense

bettercreature:
Africa will never develop without the use of force,black men are next to animal.Take south Africa for example they are going backward every year ever since their independent in 1991,USA in 1850 is better than Nigeria in 2016

SouthWestBlood:
You see how few your likes are? Because you wrote complete jargons up there. Stop defending corruption! If the judges were acting according to the laws of the country, there wouldn't have been any reason for the invasion of their homes.

They felt untouchable and have been greasing their hands, living luxurious life and buy estates. You guys will only wail, Buhari is 73 years old and y'all can't scare him shitless. Sanity must be restored.

limeta:
Northern muslim judges are saint All the arrested judges are from south Zombie,s take note

Clap for yourself,you try well well your english is good,it seems you studied abroad,Cambridge I presume but I'm sorry to tell you that despite all this grammer you have nothing upstairs(I mean ur brain is malfunctioning)...rule of law my foot,where is the rule of law when this Grand thieves are busy collecting bribes from our fantastically corrupt leaders Upturning judgement to the highest bidder? And turning the judicial system to a mere joke...infact guy no jus provoke me this evening o.

quite interesting you never felt for our jobless, aimless youths when some of them were carrying placards protesting over the confiscation of some millions of dollars from Ex President Jonathan's wife Patience. But now you do. Quite interesting indeed.

ABUZINZU:
..

rozayx5:
very nice tactics by buhari to distract his zombies from his collapsed govt

bighorlus:
i appreciate your writeup. but i have 2 questions.
so we invite these powerful and allegedly corrupt judges to come in for questioning with regards to bribery allegations, corrupt practices, kindly note these monies dont have paper trail.
question 1. would they come by themselves with the monies to efcc?
question 2. if the answer is no how do you recommend the issue would have been approached and yield the desired resuts of catching them red handed with the bribes or alleged bribes (monies they cant account for)

Myde4naija:
you have no reasonable point. All your write up nah wash abeg keep them to urself

ificatchmodeh:
First..they government should be able to establish a fact with a real evidence of corruption..
Channel it to appropriate jurisdiction..that's NJC..maybe monitor the trial or see to the dismissal of the judges.

Not breaking and. Entering..is doesn't speak good of the government...these are judges..not some drug baron...or kidnappers..

bettercreature:
Nigerian youth are clueless reason most of them will never find a job
You guys should be happy I am not the president,would have create a law to allow law enforcement to kill corrupt officials at sight

undigeh:
We're on same page bro You never talk about the overwhelming evidence found against them.
You sound too sentimental about this issue.
The NBA, and the Judicial are not the owner of Nigeria. It belong to all of us.

The demand by NBA for the immediate release of arrested court judges instead of asking for their fair trial, is like Abubakar Shakau of BH asking FG to immediately release its fighters in government custody.
NBA is accusing FG of intimidating the Judiciary.
The truth is that NBA is shamelessly intimidating the Executive.

Their demand betrayed them as conspirators in corruption.
We have said Nigeria system is wholly corrupted and need to be formatted.
It is only the families of members of NBA and Judges can strenuously attempt to argue against.

We are solidly behind Mr president to see the arrested judges tried for corruption.
Those who have suffer injustice in the hands of these corrupt judges are life and ready to testify against them with evidence if the need arise.

Buhari may gain popularity on this singular action.
Since independent, the Nigerian judges remain untouchable in the face of obvious corruption in our country.

Mutuwa:
Not even a tent.

binarymachine:
Oga op the Nigerian DSS is not equivalent to US FBI, the Nigerian Police is. The Nigerian DSS is equivalent to US Secret Service and the Secret Service does not meddle in economic, financial affairs or graft affairs.

SouthWestBlood:
Yes, I know. The poster above you has 100+ likes and I'm sure the same nairalanders who clicked like on his post went through yours.

That's a way to know if your post actually made sense. Maybe it does, but just an element of corruption that needs to be locked somewhere before you ruin the atmosphere with your corrupt posts.

ziga:
What democracy are you talking about?

The one where leaders have enriched themselves illegally.

Their overblown salary packages continue, while the common man dey suffer in recession?

The fight hasn't really happened.

It will happen when the youth in Nigeria storm the homes of our corrupt leaders and start to collect their share.

MadamExcellency:
A lawyer in USA or Britain is not automatically qualified to practice law in Nigeria - Fact.

Nigeria has her laws and constitution and as such we apply it accordingly.

There are no better custodian of Nigerian constitution and laws than the NBA hence the six living past and present NBA Presidents are saying that the DSS acted unconstitutionally against its statutory and constitutional responsibilities.

The Executive is just one arm of the government in a democracy and doesn't make it own laws.


It is time to defend constitutional democracy and as such fight to stop Nigeria from slipping into dictatorship.

Are you getting the crux of the matter and the direction of the debate?
