lawyers in Nigeria only work for the elite, so shameful cos we have so many fellows languishing in jails without trial yet we don't see lawyers fighting for the fundamental rights of the down trodden in our society.

Nigeria is too full of cash and carry lawyers

SalomonKane:
Honestly, I think most of these lawyers should be flogged. The rights of ordinary Nigerians are being violated every blessed day, but you won't see them sue the FG on behalf of this Nigerians, but when it's someone who's 'reputable' you see them suing everything sueable.

This set of lawyers need to get their priorities in place.

u tink lawyers work for free there's no free lunch. if ur rights have been compromised u have d right to hire a lawyer n sue for damages. d lawyer dat is sueing buari n dss is not working for free. he was hired to sue d govt.
d biggest reason why a vast majority of nigerians ar suffering is their ignorance of d law n d constitution. i personally know pipul who ar nobody in society, yet police n oda govt agencies dont mess with dem simply becos they know d constitution like d back of their hand. d way dis individual talk with confidence about d law will make u tink they ar lawyers, yet they ar just common primary skool teachers.
nobody will mess with ur rights if u know d law n constitution.

this keeps more and more getting interesting

This is getting serious...we may not have seen an end to this.

Lawyers work for free my friend. They're required to do some pro bono cases. Last I checked, it's among the prerequisite needed for one to become S.A.N. (I stand to be corrected)

Way to go my learned colleagues. We can't just stand akimbo and watch the illiterates and dullards disgracing our senior colleagues on the bench. Daura and his attack dogs from Napolean must be dealt with.
I wonder what will be going through the mind of the ambulance-chaser Falana

What does ordinary Nigerians have to offer them?

Everybody is chasing their self interest

Greed is what is killing Nigeria

lawyers who work for free do so on their own volition.

The man is just wasting money

''corruption will always find a way of fighting back'', it is a shame that our judiciary is the most corrupt arm of government. little or no attention was paid to the judiciary over the years, rather we were after the legislature and executive arms of government. forgetting that if judges don't sell perpetual injunctions to politicians from all forms of prosecution, politicians wont steal with so much impunity,
i pity the common masses that would support corrupt judges just because they hate buhari...... ''if i hear say Buhari's led FG go pay you and your criminals called judges N50b'' he should have asked for $50b,as N50b will be too small for those thieves, because they sell judgments in dollars. no wonder james ibori was discharged and acquitted by a nigerian court,but the same james ibori went to a london court and pleaded guilty and was asking for leniency, on the same charges a nigerian court squashed. shame...shame....shame to all of you that would support corrupt judges. i pity you because by the special grace of God you will be their victim one day. keep supporting evil just because you hate buhari!

Matters getting complicated,let them prove their Innocence In Court first. Though d arrest may not follow due process but there is need to get things right in our Judiciary.

Too lazy to read in detail but how does homeboy have standing to bring this suit?

Yes he has!


In Fundamental Enforcement Matter, The doctrine of locus standi (right to sue) was abolished ie anybody, organisation can institute an action on anybody's behalf!


This was achieved courtsey of Gani Fawehinmi, Femi Falana et al!

When you see an action from a corrupt lawyer you dont need a prophet to telll you whether he is corrupt or not.But by their fruit you will know them.He wants to go.Court so that he can make money from FG because his business has been interrupted by the arrest of his partners on the bench.Shame to bad lawyers and judges

Attention seeker Lawyer.


End time lawyers.

LOCUS STANDI, locus standi locus standi oga lawyer.

Corruption making noises and fighting bad.
It can never be possible that with the level of corruption and looting in Nigeria in the past years and elections' manipulations that many of these judges will not have their share of the loots one way or another. Even many of the false pastors in Nigeria ate out the loots one way or another. So let these judges be investigated thoroughly to deloot and punish those of them that had taken bribes and overturned justice

the regime of a fuckingg tyrant! bloody tyrant. . . this regime knows nothing about democracy.

I no talk am sey them go sue this useless government.

Fellow corrupt legal practitioners Olukoya dey sue...Some of these so called legal practioners need to be handled in the most brutal manner...

akindele91:

Barrister Olukoya Ogungbeje, must be one of
those corrupt-lawyers who are benefiting
hugely from looting,stealing and
embezzlement of our national commonwealth
by displaying an audacity to sue president
M.Buhari and his Attorney General,N50b naira
on behalf of those corrupt-ridden suspected
judges/justices whose raid on their residences
produced bribery evidence;of USA-
dollars,Euro-currencies and British pound -
currencies.Or were those judges bureau-de-
change-speculators?

Zombie!did u see the dollars and euros?
