DesChyko: Just one question. Knowing what you know about sentences and what signifies the end of a sentence (full stop in text, extended pause in speech). I just have to ask, Was the sentence he was making complete as at when the video was cut? Why was it not allowed to complete? Why did they omit 'as long as there is no corruption involved' which ended that sentence in particular? Why did they carefully screen out the evidence he attached to that sentence which would have even made Nigerians in the know to expose the corrupt practice if there was any like what is going on between Funtua, Keystone and 9mobile? Say no to dirty propaganda and politics. Oh pls, I watched the full video, (2mins+) there was no questions asked, he was not even answering questions about enriching anyone when he included that statement, it's what's in his mind that he said, do you know what it means for a public office holder to come out and say he will enrich his friends? Is it Atiku's money? Am shocked the length you guys are willing to go just to get ride of PMB, you guys forget what happens when you think you can fvck with the devil. |

DesChyko: Now let's do a proper analysis of this video. When he said that, there was a general laughter in CHANNELS audience...knowing how Channels TV's political inclinations are perceived. I expected condemnation instead, akin to what VP Osinbajo received when he kept droning on about PDP 16 years instead of sticking to the debate  There is a reason this video was kept at 10 secs. It's left for well meaning Nigerians to find out. Could it be that he must have referred to the entire citizenry as his friends at some point during the programme? And someone is selling us a 10 secs video with the act of misleading?
MODIFIED: I found the full video. I've got to say whatever propaganda these people are selling, they are damned evil.
For those determined not to be misled, here it is: https://www.channelstv.com/2019/01/16/im-not-going-to-enrich-members-of-my-family-but-my-friends-atiku/
A counter thread is advised. Nigerians should not let themselves be misled by dirty politics of these desperadoes in power. His statement was as clean as they come. But selfish elements cut just 10 secs out of the full video. Thanks for the full link, But saying he will enrich his friends is not necessary, it only shows he has started favoritism even before entering office. And for the part he said that he or OBJ did not make any money in the privatization of various sectors is a brilliant white lie. This guy or PMB are not fit to rule a country blessed with smart intellectual people, how this is happening is beyond me. With that said I prefer PMB's integrity to this guy's. |

docadams: Upgrade please. I am not a lawyer, but having the opportunity to listen to some of the best in the profession, there arose one unanimity amongst them. That issue is members of the bench are categorized either as either judicial officers or public officers as the case may be. Offences committed as a judicial officer goes to the NJC, while those committed as a public officer goes to the courts. Ngwuta committed an offence in the course of dispensing justice i.e he comnitted an offence as a judicial officer. This falls under the NJC. The CJN offence wasn't committed in the course of dispensing justice but while performing a function as a public officer. All what you staked your life on yesterday never came to pass. A govt can't bring Sometimes you wonder how these lawyers become SANs, If more than 80 SANs can tell you that the CJN is untouchable as it stands then you know we need a complete overhaul of all judicial officers. That's why I hate law, too many Grey arrears, and twisting of the constitution. |

You must be another daft oyoruba hypocritical clown.

Time for total constitutional reform or you get to have your oyoruba proxy president to Sokoto. And insulting the Op makes you look smart now? The Grey areas in the constitution is what lawyers use to defend their case, the same constitution that says a judge can only be dismissed by the NJC, is the same constitution that empowers the law enforcement agencies to prosecuted and arrest anybody committing a crime, apart from the President, Vp, Governor and Deputy Govs. So while you chase the NJC side of the constitution, the opposition will chase the No immunity clause side of the constitution. And both of them are right, that's the sad part. |

lexy2014: We aren't in disagreement as 2 who enjoys immunity and who doesn't enjoy immunity. D bone of contention is that despite d fact that judicial officers don't enjoy immunity, d constitution clearly states how they should b handled if they run foul of d law in d discharge of their duties as judicial officers. This is 2 ensure separation of powers& guarantee d independence of d judiciary. But when u now come& say there are exceptions 2 due process, how do u expect me to agree with u on that? That's y I asked u is there anywhere in d constitution that says there are exceptions 2 due process? Immunity against prosecution for sitting governors is due process. Going by ur argument, y has Ganduje not been prosecuted by EFCC using ur argument that "there are exceptions to due process?" If u support d executive waving due process cos of judges misdemeanor as it did in PH, then it should wave d same due process and direct EFCC to prosecute Ganduje. That will b seen as fairness& equity Ganduje is a sitting governor that means he enjoys immunity, that means even if he commits a crime he has immunity, but how ever if a judge commits a crime he will be arrested and investigate, why? The need for evidence, it's the evidence that even the NJC will ask for to kick them into making investigations, which can lead to the prosecution and arrest of the judge, this is were I said there are some exceptions in due process. However if you like present evidence as big as a house against a sitting governor, you won't get him arrested, until he leaves office. |

Now if u say there are exceptions 2 due process, y has d EFCC not arrested Ganduje despite damning evidence against him? Y didn't they wave due process?
4d fact that a judge doesn't enjoy immunity doesn't mean that d executive can arrest them like they did in port Harcourt. D constitution doesn't make provision 4 that. Going to the constitution, Section 153(1) (i) created the NJC, when it provided: “There shall be established for the Federation, the following bodies: inter alia National Judicial Council”. Section 158(1) provided, in the exercise of its power to make appointments or exercise disciplinary control over persons, the NJC shall not be subject to the directions or control of any other authority or person. Do judges enjoy immunity under the Nigerian constitution? This is what I hate about law, too many Grey areas. Because people will interpret the constitution to back their argument. For the fact you asked why a sitting governor has not been prosecuted tells how you see the constitution. Am done arguing with someone that thinks a sitting Governor and a Judge should enjoy the same privileges |

The CJN was never accused of stealing money. He was accused of not declaring some domiciliary account in 2009. It is important to note that he eventually declare all these accounts in 2016 The people who deliberately misadvised the president are only interested in causing more problems for him. Pls follow up the story in its entirety, the same CJN you are talking about has admitted to this claims, that he "forgot", the question we should be asking is why a whole CJN will make such a dangerous omission. While you people may be thinking it's the FG vs Justice Onnoghen, I believe there is something we are not seeing here something is afoot, cause am yet to understand why a whole CJN (with years of experience in Nigerian politics) will leave himself so exposed for these attacks.

wirinet: That's the crust of the matter. How is it possible for the NJC to judge on matters against it own members - especially it's chairman. It is like asking executives of a club or an association to preside of matters of their chairman or president. A typical example is the justics Salami vs Justice Aloysius Katsina-Alu feud, The NJC automatically took sides with its chairman. They ordered the suspension and investigation of Salami, but did not do the same with Justice Aloysius Katsina-Alu.
One of Nigeria's greatest problem is corrupt judges, their damage to society is far worse than corrupt politicians, most of the people supporting the chief justice have never had the trauma of facing a corrupt judge. Men don't get me started with corrupt judges, I witnessed a judge gave a land that has been in the family for ages to a complete stranger, just because this stranger is a billionaire. |

nawebco: Hello all. I feel that I need to put in my two bits in the Onoghen CCB debate. First let me tell you where I stand. I am for strong institutions & the rule of law. I believe that the law should be no respecter of persons. With that foundation, please follow me on this journey
Facts only: a) Has the CJN been removed, answer is NO? b) Can the President remove the CJN, the answer is Yes/No c) Can the CJN be arraigned before the CCB? The answer to me is inconclusive, but I will be rooting for YESS and I will explain as we go on further.
Can the President Remove the CJN? Yes he can remove the CJN but on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council (NJC) and the NJC itself is advised by the Federal Judicial Service Commission. Please see the following images which are excerpts from the Constitution
From the provisions it is clear that the President must receive recommendations from the NJC before he can appoint or remove Onnoghen & if fact other S.Ct Justices /Justice of Federal Courts. This is in consonance with the principles of Separation of Powers with checks & balances
You will observe from the provisions of the Const. that the CJN is a member of the two bodies that have a say in his removal. This very fact again offends another very key maxim of equity which is "nemo judex in causa sua" meaning that "you cannot be a judge in your own cause"
What can propel the FJSC and the NJC to start proceedings against the Chairman of their respective boards? The Attorney General must send in a petition to the NJC and ask them to investigate their own chairman and recommend him for removal. We can all see the legal conundrum
Who will nominate the judge that is next in line to the CJN to start the process of investigating the CJN & what is there to investigate? The CJN has admitted all charges brought against him by the CCB. From this point of view, the NJC need no further evidence? CJN is wrong.
So what should happen? How does the FGN go forward on this. Judging by all the conundrum of the NJC, should the FGN do nothing when it is obvious that the NJC will likely do nothing? How does the FGN which has the right of initiating the prosecutorial process go on?
The FGN through the CCB initiates a trial before the CCT? Was the CCB right or wrong? We again go to the Constitution. What are the functions & duties of the CCB? The Constitution tries to entrench transparency & accountability in public servants by requiring asset declaration
The CJN is a public officer who is caught smack at the centre of this misbehaviour. It is important to note that the CJN HAS NO IMMUNITY. So nothing stops CCB from arraigning him before CCT on false declaration of assets. I believe the case of Nganjiwa Vs FRN can be distinguished
Before I distinguish the two situations let us look at what awaits the CJN at the CCT. Again we look at the Constitution.
If the CJN is found guilty (& in this case he has admitted guilt anyway) the CCT can remove him from office, ban him from future office for 10 years, confiscate assets & other punishment which the NASS has prescribed. Has NASS or will NASS ever prescribe additinal punishment?
Now to distinguish Nganjiwa Vs FRN to this CJN scenario, mind you this is what I shall be arguing if I were the FGN's lawyer. Nganjiwa J, was arrested and arraigned on charges of corruption under EFCC Act
The charges are strictly criminal. In CJN's case he is arraigned under a specific law -Code of Conduct which is what it says a rule for public servants that guides their behaviour. It is not stricto sensu a crime but a failure to act judiciously & for which the punishments...
are also not stricto sensu jail term. Is there a need of recourse to the NJC in a case where another govt constitutional constituted body has powers to decide on a specific infraction? I would submit no. The FGN should have this issue decided as a preliminary issue because
there seems to be a judicial protectionism which is sneaking in Immunity that the constitution has not granted to judicial officers. The CJN has been arraigned, let us test the constitution and the powers it gives and where there is need for a reform in law, let us do so.
The administration of justice in Nigeria is being rubbished if the CJN continues in office knowing that he has lost credibility to preside. We as Nigerians do not know the damage we do to our own institutions when we carry on with the prism of ethnicity & politicking
Every single decision of the S.Ct on corruption that had Onnoghen as a member of the panel is under a hue, from now onwards he is impotent. It is similar to @HMKemiAdeosun's case. He needs to resign since he knows he cannot be sacked. That is the right thing to do.
As for me, I would continue to urge the FGN to bring all these issues to the public, not minding the times or seasons. We need to hold public officers accountable & they need to hold themselves accountable. The CJN, having admitted wrong doing needs to resign honourably. Thank you for this elaborate piece. Unfortunately 150 SANs that want to defend the CJN don't see things this way. I was carefree when I was not educated, but I became angry when I was, because you wonder how can people that were educated in the best schools can be so daft, like they were never taught these things you know in school. Now the Children of hate are blind to the fact that the CJN has admitted he erred. They will never see any sense in what you wrote. |

Shikini: Abiodun Nejo, Ado Ekiti
Legal luminary, Chief Afe Babalola (SAN), has described the proposed trial on Monday of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, at the Code of Conduct Tribunal over alleged failure to fully declare his assets as “denigration of the country’s Judiciary and Constitution.”
He also noted the constitutional provision which stipulates that any infraction by judges must first be investigated and then resolved by the National Judicial Council, “to the exclusion of any other body or authority.”
Babalola, in a statement on Sunday entitled, Proposed arraignment of the Hon Justice Walter Onnoghen: Again, I say two wrongs do not make a right, said the law had made clear the processes for the trial of judicial officers and as well their removal, hence the need to desist from “contempt and denigration of the judiciary.”
He said: “I am of the view that the Constitution requires that any infraction by the said judges be firstly investigated and resolved by the National Judicial Council, to the exclusion of any other body or authority.”
Babalola, who stated that the decision of the Court of Appeal in Nganjiwa v Federal Republic of Nigeria (2017) LPELR-43391(CA) “still subsists and has not been set aside,” said: “I therefore see no justification for the decision to arraign the CJN before the CCT.”
Continuing, he argued, “Again, the point must be made clear that the Constitution clearly provides for the procedure with which the CJN can be removed from office.
“Section 292 (1)(a)(i) and 292 (1)(b) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (As Amended) addressed it.”
According to him, given the clear provisions for trial and removal of judges, “It becomes more worrying to learn that, aside from laying the proposed charges, the prosecution has also filed an application for an order directing the CJN to recuse himself from office pending the conclusion of the trial.”
The senior advocate said: “By proceeding as proposed, the government is unwittingly or, perhaps, deliberately, creating a wrong impression in the minds of millions of Nigerians that the Judiciary is a criminal organisation.
“For the sake of our democracy, this is a misconception that must not be allowed to fester.
“No country, no matter how well intentioned its political leaders are, can aspire to greatness if its judicial arm is denigrated and held in contempt.
“While the Judiciary itself must be awake to its huge responsibilities, its efforts in this regard will surely not be helped by the erosion of its independence,” the SAN stated.
https://punchng.com/onnoghen-constitution-says-erring-judges-must-be-investigated-by-njc-only-afe-babalola/ And what if the NJC decides to drag their foot or ignore the prosecution till after election, only to offset a credible election because there will definitely be election cases taken to tribunals. Justice Onnoghen is from Cross River, we know that Cross River is a PDP state. That aside, How many corrupt Judges has the NJC handed over to the EFCC or DSS or AGF for investigation and prosecution, the last ones that where arrested where retired with full benefits by the NJC. But if it a common man or someone that is not a judge the NJC will open their law books and met out sentences they see fit. The NJC is just as guilty as the FG on this one, because they have bastardized the due process of prosecuting a siting Judge that is corrupt. |

Senior Nigerian lawyer, Femi Falana, has called for withdrawal of President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to withdrawn its charge against the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Samuel Onnoghen.
The Federal Government will on Monday, January 14, 2019, arraign the CJN before the Justice Danladi Yakubu led-Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) in Abuja on charges of failures to declare his assets as required by law and for operating Bank Domiciliary Foreign Currency Accounts.
The charges against Justice Onnoghen were filed and served on him on Friday at his official residence in Abuja preparatory for his appearance at the tribunal.
Falana, speaking to Premium Times described the move against Justice Onnoghen as a “prosecutorial misadventure.”
He, therefore called on the justice minister, Abubakar Malami, to immediately withdraw the charge.
Falana said: “The charge against the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen ought not to have been instituted at the Code of Conduct of Tribunal in view of the case of Nganjiwa v FRN (2017) LPELR 43391 wherein the Court of Appeal held that a judicial officer who has not been investigated by the National Judicial Council and sanctioned for misconduct cannot be arraigned in any criminal court in Nigeria.
“As all authorities are bound by the Court of Appeal verdict the case should be withdrawn by the Attorney-General of the Federation without any delay because it is likely to be a prosecutorial misadventure.”
https://all-gists..com/2019/01/buhari-should-withdraw-charge-against-justice-onnoghen-femi-falana.html Before the sting operation on Judges, there were countless petitions against the Judges submitted to the NJC, yet those petitions were ignored by the NJC, hence the DSS took matters into their hands and choir boys started singing, so are you saying a corrupt judge is free to preside over sensitive matters like the election tribunals till when ever the NJC feels the corrupt judge is due for investigation? And come to think of it who is the chairman of the NJC, This is why corruption thrives because democracy is easily manipulated in Nigeria. Nigeria is not ripe for democracy. |

OEPHIUS: Buhari Trying to Illegally Remove CJN
Earlier today, the Federal Government in a desperate bid to forestall democratic process on the countdown to Nigeria's Presidential elections, asked the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, Walter Onnoghen to immediately resign as Head of Nigeria's judiciary over a very weak allegation of false asset declaration.
To further display their desperate tactics, the FG is planning to arraign the CJN before Justice Danladi if the Code of Conduct Tribunal in Abuja.
Sources close to the CJN have revealed that the Chief Justice is unfazed by the theatrics of the Federal Government and will not resign, instead would rally the support of the body of benchers behind him and face the Federal Government which he is a part of, head on.
The Federal Government, led by a machiavelian Cabal within the Presidency have already named Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammed as the CJN's possible replacement.
A source has confirmed to reporters that the planned removal of the CJN is in line with the APC's long term plan to make all sensitive positions in Government especially the Judiciary Northern in order to control election tribunals which have become a ripple effect of elections in Nigeria.
Now regarded as an affront on Nigeria's democracy and an act of desperation, the planned arraignment of the CJN by the FG is a last trick in the book as an imminent defeat looms in the February 16 Presidential polls where the President's ruling party is not campaigning.
This tactic was once used to try and bully the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki over a period of 3 years where there were constant abuse on the institution of the National Assembly.
While Nigeria awaits a turn of events on Monday following the trumped up allegations of the FG, it would be interesting to see how Nigerians would react to this recent attack on the Institution of the Judiciary which is the last hope of the common man.
https://thepunditng.com/buhari-planning-to-remove-cjn-illegally/ But I have not seen anything in this your post that exonerates Justice Onnogen, I also read he operates a domiciliary account, the FG has a case here whether it's a winch hunt or not. |

XhosaNostra: I need to drop 10 kgs, so I told myself no more junk food or colddrink this year. I had pizza & coke just yesterday! I'm not really pressed though, I still got 11 more months to lose the chub  10kg? That's huge, be careful you don't loose too much fat that will leave your immune system open to sickness. |

lonelydora: All of you bashing Igbos with their list, are you people aware there is something called Tradition?
Could it be these lists is why Igbo women stay in marriage no matter the situation. They don't cheat, they don't run away when the situation goes wrong.
Igbo amaka. Marry an Igbo woman and have absolute peace in your marriage.
IGBO AMAKA! In other words buy are daughters and have peace of mind. It's people like you that will give their daughters to mad man that even if he wants to kill her, people like you will ask her to endure and stay because of the price you collected on her head. I personally will do what a man did, after spending more than 2.5m for all the marriage rights he put the newly wedded wife in the trunk of his car, the woman is now his property so he can do what he pleases with her. When people are emancipating them selves from some stupid traditions your are still stuck with yours. |
