A video has been making the rounds of a disgruntled legal practitioner who has been identified as Okere Kingdom Nnamdi, protesting outside the Federal High Court in Abuja, in which he claims the new CJN is unqualified for the position because "he was never called to bar and is a Sharia court Judge". Upon research from information freely available on the public domain, these claims were however found to be patently false.

His words: "There are so many lacunas in the 1999 Constitution,” he said. “That same constitution will tell you that an Islamic scholar from a Sharia Court of Appeal can be promoted to the Supreme Court of Nigeria, not minding that he was not called to the Nigerian Bar, that he didn’t read law, because he is an Islamic Scholar.”

“That was how the likes of Tanko Muhammad came to the Supreme Court. Let him tell us his enrolment number. Every Nigerian lawyer that is called to the Nigerian Bar that attended a university and the Nigerian Law School has an enrolment number. He does not have any,” he alleged.

THE FACTS

1. Justice Tanko attended Government Secondary School, Azare where he obtained the West Africa School Certificate in 1973 before he later proceeded to Ahmadu Bello University where he received a bachelor's degree in Law in 1980. The new CJN was called to bar in 1981 after graduating from the Nigerian Law School. He later obtained a Master and Doctorate (Ph. D) degree from the same university in 1984 and 1998 respectively


2. He was appointed Chief Magistrate in the FCT High Court in 1989 where he served for 2 years (not Sharia court, but they won't mention this).

3. He was sent to the Sharia Court of Appeal (Bauchi) in 1991 where he served for ONLY TWO (2) YEARS before he was appointed as a Justice of the Court of Appeal (again, not Sharia court) where he served for THIRTEEN (13) YEARS on the bench...before being sworn in as a Justice of the Supreme Court in 2007(again, not Sharia Court) where he has served the country for the last TWELVE (12) YEARS.

THE VERDICT: The new CJN is more than qualified to hold that office regardless of whatever some disgruntled semi-literate ignorant folks say...and he will remain in that office until Onnoghen is able to clear his soiled name if he ever does.

It is also important to note that Justice Tanko Mohammed is the natural successor to Onnoghen as he is the 2nd most senior Justice of the Supreme Court & Vice Chairman of the National Judicial Council (NJC).

BlueRayDick:
Abeg no mind those mumu. Someone who is even more educated than the most educated person some people's local government yet they say he's a mere sharia judge.

He has a first degree in law, masters and even PhD in law yet they he's a mere sharia court judge. Maybe because they don't hear him being called His Lordship, Dr. Chief Imam etc in one sentence before His name.

Mr 'QuotaSystem' (Strangely, you all use monikers that constrasts with your backyard, hateful and divisive views. One calls himself 'Greenland.' Imagine the irony!?

Anyway, that's beside the matter. Was this not bubu's plan and wish all along? After the nightmare of being thrown out of govt house in 1985 by IBB, bubu has never been comfortable until he surrounds himself with his 'brothers' and 'sisters' (and he doesn't give a hoot about merit or quota system - you see the irony of your name, his minion? ).

From the Army to Airforce to INEC to NNPC to Customs to EFCC and now to CJN. Sad, he couldn't remove Senate president to make it complete. Every position that wields military power(army, airforce) or controls elections (Inec, cjn) or brings in money (nnpc, finance ministry, customs), his brothers and sisters must occupy it for 100% trust. You think some of us can't read and dissect his grand pretences well and see through his facade of fake integrity unlike some blind bats?

Bubu has always wanted this Sharia judge tanko. That was why he was prevaricating (that means dilly-dallying or unnecessarily delaying) wen he knew onoghen was next in line. But God intervened, he fell sick and rushed to the UK (the same UK he's issuing s warning to now via Shehu). Osinbajo approved.

Bubu returned from his2 months hospitalization tourism and was angry. He started devising how to remove him and install tanko, his preferred and trusted candidate being an undercover Sharia man like him. Pronto! He whipped out his favorite alibi, corruption . He knows zombies will swallow the bait, hook, line and sinker.

Emefiele has only survived in his government cos he was ready to do anything, including converting to Islam and changing his name to Mohammed.

But it's just 2 weeks and bubu will receive the greatest shock of his life. GOD HAS REJECTED HIM AND THAT'S SEALED AND DELIVERED to manifest on Feb 16.

Will he run to the UK again to treat the shock??

The truth is that all Nigerian Judges are corrupt.
The head of every organization in Nigeria is corrupt in one way or the other.
The reason people like me are worried here is that you don't suspend someone and replace him with your stooge few days to election.

Go and check your fact.
For the fact that the project was concluded during obasanjo administration doesn't give him all the credit...

HigherEd:
What did he study for MSc and PhD?

How do you take a man who is a professional at giving religious considerations and verdicts as the CJN of the highest court in the land which is meant to be non biased. This sort of judge will definitely see the Koran as superceeding the constitution of d land.

Even if the acting CJN is not qualified, you should ask PDP that appointed him as Judge of the Supreme Court some years back. Or did Buhari appoint him? Meanwhile the man is more than qualified for the position. Or maybe you think imPatience Jonathan should have been appointed instead? That is how the senseless PDP appointed Amina as INEC Commissioner and now, they want Buhari to sack her. You are all mad.

More so with the attendant hullabaloo.

First of all, Wikipedia is not the right place to source for authentic information. Anyone can go there and update it, so that renders your writeup null and void. The page was updated one day ago by you.

And the link he gave as evidence, it could be seen that it was edited two days ago.

Can you even be in the supreme court cartel without being qualified? ?
