The Supreme Court got this wrong because every Nigerian has a right of appeal regardless of the frivolity of the suit. The Constitution confirms it. There are many times that a litigant sweeps again the current of adverse laws and authorities yet in a landmark decision the entire law in that area is changed in a ground shifting manner by this same Supreme Court.

If the Supreme Court does not want frivolous suits coming up to it then it should remove all rights of appeal and make them conditional. But not strike fear amongst other members of the bar. Such a fear might inhibit a proper representation of their clients.
