Thanks for this info. I dont see the big deal, and I cant understand why people are crying for these criminals called Judges.

You are wrong Sir, Justice Liman that was arrested in Porthacourt is from Nasarawa State, please stop this southern vs Muslim things in this matter , They are all corrupt shikenan.

All the arrested judges are southerners
Northern muslim judges are saints

So we gon use the US as yardstick?

You guys are pathetic! Don't the U.S have different laws than ours?

The NBA just said the move by the SSS was illegal and someone's bringing the US into the equation! Pity!!

Do you expect them to say it's legal? when they know for sure that their hands are soiled.

You will cry, but no one will hear your cries, with the judiciary caged and the populace turned into sycophants with no iota of reasoning ability, you will be judged guilty and then killed by a firing squad, alongside your family members, friends and well wishers who were protesting your innocence, no thanks to the stupid law you and the immediate past president made.

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.



Buh it is very easy to compare Nigeria with her overseas counterparts should something else happened ba

Trust me, Nigeria is not finish, it is we Nigerians that are finished judging by the way we twist & jumped into things especially when they are not in our favour.

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?

Pls receive sense; the truth of the matter is that nobody is above the law and therefore protected from being arrested (except those with constitutional immunity e.g. the president & governors) or being investigated should there be sufficient grounds to suspect such person of a crime, as well as conduct search of his/her house/offices etc backed by a warrant obtain from a competent court.
Accordingly, judges are not above suspicion or immune from such legal process of investigation - whoever says the police/DSS etc have no right to make forceful entry into such premises in order secure and protect necessary evidence of such crime needs to have his head examined.
The NBA, like anyone is free to express its views on the matter; but it is still only an association (though an important one) with no judicial power whatsoever and therefore in no way custodian of the law nor does it have the last say on any legal matter - on the other hand, the judiciary comprising of the judicial commission and the supreme court under the leadership of the chief justice do.
It is really disappointing to see how easily the present generation of youths are being politically ill motivated to support what is clearly wrong and oppose what is right on the basis of party or ethnoreligious affiliations.
Corruption is the number one enemy and the bane of this country; yet its primary victims, the youths whose future have literally been stolen (jobs, social and economic opportunities) are among the ones condoning it - such ignorance and counter productive mentality is appallingly sad - I weep for this country.

Olodo... e be like say u no dey watch American films Abi? U never see their police use force to gain entry during raids or Wot? U guys are against this move simply because u don't like PMB

Corruption and Anti corruption, which of the two will improve or lives tomorrow? things had really gone over the roof in our country therefore you must go up the roof to pull it down.
PMB, RIDE ON for the sake of the Nigerians yet unborn.

Mboi2:

From your post, I did not see where you wrote that their homes were invaded at night by the so called FBI with no arrest warrant and their doors pulled down only to effect arrest. What happened in the case of DSS and the judges was ABDUCTION not ARREST. Mr OP, I put it to you that you don't know your right from your left. Sorry not an insult but just a fact.

Mr right and left, ur not updated ooo cos if u are, u wud have read it b4 that they held dia search warrant and dis pple refused dem entry and btw, that u dunno that security agents are constitutionally allowed to gain entry with force only when refused entry is calamitous. U pple are just against this move simply cos u don't like PMB. That's all

ISpiksDaTroof:


No, we usually kick down doors at 5 or 6am in the morning while you're asleep next to your wife (or concubine... or prostitute), detain everyone found on the premises, handcuff everyone behind their backs, conduct a warrant check, then set free everyone thats clean, not on the warrant or isn't/hasnt been observed committing a crime at that present moment. If you act up you'll end up with broken joints or maybe even a slug in your stomach or chest cavity if you become overzealous and are unfortunate enough to run into one of our overzealous officers with a itchy trigger finger.

You sound like a criminal , or at least a potential one (or at the very least, one that condones and has a soft spot for crime). We hate criminals where I come from. You should too.

You have already concluded that they are criminals. Tell me what you did to the one who purchased two houses in dubai with 240million naira. You recently gave him an award.

tinsel:

Then let us go back to military rule where everything is by force and decree.

I personally can't wait for that day.
Way long overdue.

Nigeria isn't democracy ready.
To walk, you crawl first.

For now, having tested military and democracy,
I vote military. In that regime, while some may also have been corrupt, not with the blatant impunity of Nigeria politicians.

'Fear is the key that unlocks doors'
(James Hardly Chase - 'Want To Stay Alive')

If it is force or dictatorship that will sanitize Nigeria, then Mr President, go right ahead.
Arrest them all even while they shiit or fu*king.
Don't wait, No delay.
If possible, hang them all high for the vultures to devour and have a feast on them, then have the dogs feed on their carcass in public.

General Muhammadu Buhari put on your unseen full military regalia and go to work
Do your thing.

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.

Shut up!

which constitution democracy are we defending when the judges to defend it are even more corrupt than the real culprit? Most of our judges are naturally corrupt. This is what me and you know very well. They are more corrupt than police and custom. The best thing to happen to them is what happen to them on Friday night. So I pray a lot of it will still happen to them until when they come back to their senses. They collect money in millions and billions to give fake judgement. They worst than arm robbers.

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.

If the executive is displeased with the constitution and level of complicity and institutional corruptions, the best way to go about it is proposing a constitutional reform or sponsoring an executive bill in line with tenets of democracy and not going about playing hitman and dictatorship.

Please, include Buhari's certificate and integrity as among the frauds that need prosecution and imprisonment.

buhari has lawyers in his cabinet. In fact, Aisha alhassan was once the chief registrar of high court of the fct. They know what's happening in the system. The corruption is between the bench and the bar. Those lawyers protesting are the beneficiaries of the corrupt tendencies of these judges.

And posts like this is the reason why NBA will continue like they're doing, since they know folks like you won't read.

WHAT DID THE ALMIGHTY NBA SAY WHEN THE COURTS ESPECIALLY THE SUPREME COURT WE'RE OFFERING RULINGS FOR SALE. CORRUPTION IN THE JUDICIARY IS WORSE THAN CORRUPTION IN ANY OTHER ARM BECAUSE THEY ARE THE FINAL ARBITRER. THEY HOLD THE POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH. JUST RECENTLY JUSTICE NGWUTA OVERULED THE CONSTITUTION IN THE KOGI MATTER YET NBA KEPT QUIET. MOST LAWYERS KNEW IT WAS A CLEAR MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE BUT THERE WAS NOTHING WE COULD DO.
