Nice write-up Don.

But the question to discerning minds is why was there no southern solidarity from the Tinubu-led SW in 2015? Afterall, the south was in power.

It'd be a tall order reconciling the SW and SS masses - with Tinubu being publicly humiliated atm ironically by the man he fought to bring to power against his fellow southerner - after the bitter contest of last year. Should the south miraculously unite though, it will be a very, very powerful block. Afterall, they have more or less similar ideologies, are educated and progressive minded.

Interesting times ahead.

Because his eyes were greedily fixated on riding on Buboos back to Aso rock and failed to realize that Fulanis don't share power with anyone.

Only a southern unity can challenge Fulani hegemony but unfortunately those selfish willing tools amongst the elite/political leaders easily fall prey to the divide and rule tactics from the north.

Southerners misused the opportunity presented by GEJ presidency to change their political destiny forever and the likes of OBJ, Tinubu, Ameachi, Rochas, Oshiomole e.t.c aren't innocent of that blunder due to their selfish interests.

Lessons:
Do not sacrifice your people on the alter of political exigencies and personal ambitions.


Awolowo is the best SW politician of all time cos he never betray his people for personal self aggrandizement in whatever form.

It is worthy to note that NEVER in the history of our Country has any President attacked the Judiciary in such a manner. Even the late dictator - General Sani Abacha, whose regime is remembered by many as the second worst regime in Nigerian history, did not carry out such Gestapo style attacks on the members of the Judiciary.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Constitution in Section 153(1)(i) and Part 1 of the Third Schedule thereto establishes the National Judicial Council (NJC) and empowers same to regulate and discipline judges across the Country. The proper path to follow to discipline erring judges will be to forward a petition containing any wrong doing to the NJC along with any evidence in support thereof.

When a man continuously bites more than he can chew he'll likely choke to death of his greed and foolishness.

Tyrants always have their day of disgrace in full measure.

simpleseyi:
Please can you give us an idea of what the NBA can do to DSS/ FG? Can NBA too arrest Director of SSS or head of FG which is Buhari? Beside boycotiyng the courts, what else can NBA do? I begiii, go and sit down. More corrupt lawyers and judges will be arrested in the coming days.

Just wait and watch.

Shebi you are one those that keeps praising the unrepentant tyrant to high heavens don't worry but when he sends DSS/EFCC after Tinubu don't cry witch hunt o.

ALISMILE:
what if the judges re crooks?

That's a possibility but the manner Buboo is going about fighting corruption won't result in bringing lasting solutions.

Impactful institutional reforms and deepening of present laws to further checkmate corruption are needed not media trials and trying to be Hercules show-offs by DSS/EFCC.

Such antics will never help this administration no matter how they try and confronting the judiciary head on will backfire.

kiev002:
It's sad only 10% of the people above me read the post. Everybody thinks the post was primarily about Tinubu.

Follow Nigerians, we can't be lazy and expect our children to be hard working.

Please it will not kill you, go back to the first page and read the full post.

Abi o. I tire for some nairalanders sef.

The moderator or OP purposely derailed the thread with that sensational headline abnitio for whatever reason that's best known to them.

Na WA O.

See people displaying foolishness on a topic they didn't bother reading the whole interview.

It's all about Buboos' attempts to muzzle / witchunt the judiciary after they helped him to attain power through technicalities of law at the courts.

patriotic9jaboy:
Buhari can jail anyone he wants. He is the commander in chief of armed forces. He answers to nobody. I support midnight raids on judges and other corrupt members of the country. God bless Buhari. May he clean the rot in the Nigerian system successfully

Stop displaying gross stupidity / ignorance.

Buboo is biting more than he can chew

freeze001:
I have always known that buhari cannot function within democratic tenets. It is the goats that re-branded him a reformed civilian democrat and the zombies that swallowed the lies hook, line and sinker and bayed to high heavens in obeisance that I look at and wonder.

One of those that played a major role in re-branding him has started wailing in Lagos.

As for those zombies hunger is seriously resetting their brains now whilst majority of them have realized their mistake some still live in self-denial.

Has military option stop the bombings of pipelines

Banking on crocodile smile is never a solution.

Dialogue is the only way out.

Izonpikin:
exactly..there should be a balance to tame any dictator tendencies from the executive..a country can not run like this..

These judges aren't Pablo escobar or bin laden...

There should be sanity in this country..our economy is a mess and this is happening..

Every action/body odour of this government since coming to power tilted to a one party state in favor of fulani hegemony.

And majority of southerners are so blinded and carried away by the charade of Buboo monkey business called corruption fight that they couldn't read between the lines but keeps sheepishly supporting a despot whilst they are gradually being sidelined.

That shouldn't stop the NBA from taking a firm action against the DSS / FG.

If they allow this go unchallenged then it will amount to giving up their right as an independent arm of govt.

The judiciary shouldn't allow itself be muzzled by the executive in the guise of fighting corruption.

After extra judicial killings in hundreds of their members, shooting/abducting their leader and now ban their religious organization

Buboo and his bunch of kitchen cabinet retards are gradually running this country aground.

Good development.

We can't allow any madman with lighter in a fuel station.

LET'S SAY NO TO DICTATORSHIP.

CecyAdrian:
When it comes to Nigeria, I beg to differ, the President (Buhari and no other) can even scrap the NA, judiciary and others posing a threat to the country and make room for a fresh start.

Why are you disgracing yaself upandan

SMH

Buhari received 24.6b and 19b in cash from Ex-Governors - FFK

When fire starts from the shrine there is no need taking precautions again. - Proverb

CecyAdrian:
It happens in every sane country. Nigeria is not the first

ALISMILE:
wailers re jus nauseating. U accuse EFCC of lAck of success forgeting its same judges taking bribes frm thieves re the ones frustrating criminal cases in court.
It is only in Nigeria criminals plead to go to court because they know they ll alws get their way there.
Wailers can wail until their deaths but we voted for Buhari to sanitise nigeriA.

APCmyheart:
Mr man stop yarning thrash, Most of those judges are so corrupt that no matter what they will still favor the higher bidder, Most of them belong to same cult so we need a IRON hand.

APCmyheart:
What is this one saying, Nigeria need a iron hand my dear, Calmness does not solve everything.

So abducting judges in the dead of the night is the way to go about fighting corruption now?

You lots are just too ignorant to understand the dangers of such actions in a democracy.

SMH

Sunnis oppressing Shittes since the death of Mohammed.

The beautiful brides who were the toast of Buboo and Hellrufai during electioneering campaigns are now illegal organization

People of good conscience who believe in fairness / justice and Shittes across the world should stand against this injustice because everyone is entitled to freedom of worship.

CecyAdrian:
You are talking too much, for them to have the guts to carry out such a raid on these judges means they have a concrete very incriminating thing on them. The men their house were raided are not ordinary citizens.

You think it's everything that will be put in the media for your likes blow it off. Just relax and which and stop calling people's views 'nonsense' that's very insulting

So breaking into homes of judges as if they are terrorists made sense to you?

What happens to petitioning the NJC for them to do the needful within the ambit of their powers to discipline the judges if they are guilty?

A dog that will get lost never listens to the whistle of the hunter. Let Buboo continue.

CecyAdrian:
Do what exactly??

Did you or any member of your household commit a crime?

What nonsense are you yapping about?

So it's of no concern to you that after series of media trials by this govt and EFCC with little or no success it's the turn of judges to be hounded because govt prosecutors failed to build thorough and iron clad cases against those accused of one crime or the other?

Aren't you aware we are in a democracy or if tomorrow these security arms goes after supreme court justices you'll think its cool too or for the sake of fighting corruption we should give up our rights and endorse dictatorship?

However I hope it ain't true cos it will only spell doom for this government.

PaulIdu:
The good thing about Buhari's Crudeness and incompetence is that no Nigerian dead or alive, rich or poor, partisan or non partisan, home or abroad is spared

If the OP is right then the man is worse than we thought. And Nigerians need to do the needful asap lest he brings the whole house down on us all.

Haba..DSS raided houses of judges and broke down gates to access a home like armed robbers?

Add your source asap.

drss:
na to go buy suya siddon for fence watch free drama. d fight is about to go dirty

Me na chicken breast and asala I wan go buy and to come top am with chilled action bitters.

Really

Me too I pray you'll know the meaning of being fair cos divisiveness, insincerity, insecurity and nepotism that pervades the land shows you don't know jack about fairness.

sarrki:
My bro

Like I said it's not about tinubu now

Coming days will show how united we are on this

But when a man rides on the back of a tiger he shouldn't be surprised to end up in its belly. So whatever Tinubu is going through has the handwriting of the presidency all over it.

I wish you guys the strength to fight the battles ahead cos I have said before the elections that Buboo is not what Nigeria needs at this point in time but Tinubu / Buhari followers claimed otherwise and voted him to power.

However I quite agreed that there ought to be honor even amongst thieves.

sarrki:
The way north deserted pmb ?

The way SS & SE deserted Gej

Listen carefully bro

We are with Tinubu either pdp or apc

We are with him

Ok Na continue.

But you guys ought to have seen the hand writing on the wall like some of us did and didn't get carried away with Buhari body odour.

Tinubu dined with the devil without a long spoon and shouldn't blame others but accept it as politics cos it's not personal.

Tinubu over to you.

More grease your elbows/ink to your pen as you or your minions write a swift WAILING rejoinder

No matter how anyone whitewashed a tomb and named it a sepulchre does it change the fact it's meant for dead bodies

All attempts on distorting the truth and painting demons as angels of light never hold water.

History/experience are there for all and those are the best teachers.

madridguy:
I'm sure the FG are preparing a new formation with counter attack. Good for our democracy.

sarrki:
If pmb failed on this I will be the first to attack him

I respect him

Let him live my his words and actions

I see him as role model

Religion and culture may differ

I respect him

Baba Pls follow all thru

You guys ain't seen nothing yet.

Your disappointments are just loading and if you don't believe me ask Tinubu.

HungerBAD:
What is he saying?

Its ironic, that a man that muscled the Federal Government,to build the Federal Polytechnic ,in his Village OKO, instead of more developed towns in Anambra is throwing jabs at this Government.

As the Vice-president of Nigeria then,what marks did he leave in Nigeria?what are his legacies?and when he came back the second time and could have redeemed himself,he helped found the biggest kleptomaniac political party in the world,PDP.

Make this man sit down joor. Our people make proverb say,them dey call Meat,Kpomo sef come dey show face.

He lost the right to say anything meaningful a long time ago,when he gave us the PDP.

Why can't you address the message instead of foaming at the mouth like a usual lapdog

Can you sincerely say we have a nation considering the level of divisiveness, nepotism and insincerity since the present government came to power

Neither do we have a nationalist at the helm of affairs.

Ekwueme is on point but zombies will always have a contrary opinion in support of their fake hero who has turned NERO.
