U must be an Islamist always praying for war, destruction. So we should fight and kill one another following your example of the US abi.

Wetin be your business whether I be Islamist?

No be only una get Naija. And if the way forward na to scatter everything, so that we fit build better foundation.

Then that is what it will be.

As long as your nyash no dey smell, you no suppose fear na.

Where NBA, ABA dey for this one?

Or he no rich or corrupt enough to get epp?

Bro, I do criticize, I do say my piece of mind whenever injustice is been done. You happen to know about this because some big wigs are involved. When I see someone being accused, my first instinct is that he maybe innocent. I try my best to exploit all possible option that the person maybe innocent.


So bro, I asked. Is there any possibility that what the DSS are accusing those or one of those judges are lies, is there any?? Is there any possibility that they/one of them maybe innocent?? Is there any possibility that the DSS are carrying out personally vendetta??

It is very possible. But it is also very possible that they are guilty of what they are accused.

So, lets wait and see how things go and let us quit the talk about how dare they were arrested.

amjoseph19:
You see there is one thing most people don't get. Nobody is supporting corruption. Corruption is the reason why Africans especially Nigerians are suffering. corruption is deep rooted in our society, we are all corrupt. Yes, we all.
To many Nigerians, we think that corruption is only when a politician embezzled public funds. No, favourisim, nepotism, tribalism etc are all part of corruption which we all tends to exhibit in our streets, community, in school, even in church. So, as we are shouting corruption, we should also have a close look in the mirror.

Most of us are faulting buhari/DSS on this not that those judges are our uncles, father nor any relative of our's. We are faulting them because the are bringing in something greater than corruption, something that can halt a nation progress for a very long time. Something than can divide a nation. Buhari is trying to over power rule of law, he is trying to kill democracy. He is trying to take us back to stone age.

Believe me when I tell you that all politicians in nigeria are corrupt (I don't have any evidence to back it up, it is just a personal option). If I see any of them being accused or locked up for corruption, am not amaze. All WE ARE REQUESTING IS FOR DUE PROCESS TO BE FOLLOWED. If we don't totally and uniformly come against this. Tomorrow, you might be arrested for tweeting against buhari. If a judge is corrupt, there's I due process to go about that. If we boycott it today, tomorrow we might also boycott presidential election because some few thinks that Mr "A" is the right person for president.


Those commeding the DSS should always remember this poem.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me.


Buhari have shown that he belongs to somebody, I don't care if he jail all PDP members, associate. But let him follow due process for fucking sake.

He have been fighting corruption for almost 2 yrs now, not a single soul have been convicted by a competent court. I was even thinking that Dasuki is nailed on with how their media propaganda was going about it. But, only to my greatest surprise that he is still yet innocent. Even ECOWAS court granted him an unconditional release and fined FG.

Buhari trying to fight his so called corruption by overlooking the rule of law is like trying to discipline a child by killing the child.

How about since they have been robbing the common man who voted them in our so called democracy and you did not speak.

Democracy did not always happen the way it is currently in the US.

If you look into their history, many WARS have been fought, MANY LIVES have been lost in the fight to establish their democracy.

Should we only compare ourselves to US and the UK when it conveniently fits the agenda to keep things status quo?

binarymachine:
Oga op the Nigerian DSS is not equivalent to US FBI, the Nigerian Police is. The Nigerian DSS is equivalent to US Secret Service and the Secret Service does not meddle in economic, financial affairs or graft affairs.

So Naija police is equal to FBI

Why all these comparisons to US sef?

They have their system that works for them.

If this is the system that works for us for now, let us use it.

Go and tell phillipinos about their methods they are using to get drugs off the streets!!!

ificatchmodeh:
First..they government should be able to establish a fact with a real evidence of corruption..
Channel it to appropriate jurisdiction..that's NJC..maybe monitor the trial or see to the dismissal of the judges.

Not breaking and. Entering..is doesn't speak good of the government...these are judges..not some drug baron...or kidnappers..

Breaking and entering

If you have a warrant for an arrest, and the criminal locks himself away, he is resisting arrest. And you "break and enter" to make the arrest.

ificatchmodeh:
Is this still the nigeria that great activities of the 90's and 80's fought to restore democracy and rule of law?

What's has happened to Nigeria and some of her citizens?

Can't believe that the citizens of this great nation are the ones calling for absolute dictatorship., and screaming to hell with the rule of law..
This is not the nigeria I know..
Are they jinxed?

Imagine comparing our institutions with that of a first world country..where institutions ve been built with laid down rules for decades of years.
To compare with ours,that our institution are directly under presidency in power.

From efcc dss,nsa,all are directly under the president. Can we say that of developed nations that we're comparing ourselves with?

Nigeria is finished.

Some time last month..the presidency requested for emergency power tocarry out its imaginary duties, public opinion rejected it,our national assembly rejected it,the president denied it..cos we all know that such power will lead to dictatorship.

Fast forward..

They presidency has forcefully empowered itself...with the emergency power the country rejected...under guise of fighting corruption.

Now every dictator always have an excuse..for being a tyrant...which sway sentiments for them.
Buhari has chosen corruption...and the best option that he believe will instill fear..on the masses..is the rule of law..

sold corruption to his country..invade the judiciary with an unproven allegations. Slander them in public court and let his fans do the. Rest..

The rule of law has just been buried..the judicially caged..and the fans celebrates..he has gotten the power..a tyrant is gradually being given a legit power.

Now this judges..we all may agree they're corrupt..tho no prima facie evidence..all allegations.
Why not follow the process and procedures laid down by the laws..is it too hard?
Why the rush?why the criminality in the action?
No matter au corrupt a judge is..he still represents the law..and can't abscond..why not invite them..through public notices at least..why barbarism ?
And some ovasabi nigerians are hailing this..and even calling out the NBA and. NJC out..haa..this country's finished..

I weep for my country...i know many of these shouting and deriding the rule of law..bet me..have not witness tyranny ..so could hardly understand why well meaning nigerians are against this..

But maybe..there's is a purpose for all..buhari was not and never a presidential option..but they que..reformed and repackaged him.and today we're in recession and dollar is sliding more..

Maybe we allow him to be a dictator..so we will continue with our punishment..yes absolute power.

Maybe tomorrow when there is no nairaland or bellanaija..or media been censored,we will understand,cos they people must be thought au to respect the president and also loyal to the country..
There is and will always be reasons for a dictator.

Welcome all of us to the new nigeria...where democracy is under. Siege for corruption tobe fought.

What democracy are you talking about?

The one where leaders have enriched themselves illegally.

Their overblown salary packages continue, while the common man dey suffer in recession?

The fight hasn't really happened.

It will happen when the youth in Nigeria storm the homes of our corrupt leaders and start to collect their share.

teedutch:
It is only in Nigeria that the poor masses support corrupt leaders. And come to think of it most of those people that are against what the DSS do are been bias and ignorant and they lack knowledge. As for me I solidly support what the DSS and the Buhari administration are doing. Please ride on we the intelligent an educated masses are solidly behind u.

Thank you brother!!!

Great countries fought wars to defend their democracy and rights in the past.

America didn't become what it is overnight.

If America was as corrupt as Naija dey right now, Americans will not sit back to watch!!! They will be at war!!!

Confirm.

Which democracy

If the masses truly had power, would our corrupt leaders be here running Nigeria into the ground.

It is time to restore power to the masses.

The arrest of the accused Judges is a threat to all of una corrupt, greedy politicians and Judiciary.

If your nyash no dey smell, why you dey fear?

mazifrankmore:
this government is not after any corruption in the judiciary sector. If they are,why haven't they arrest justice Abang and other judges who dances to there tone and dishes out frivolous judgement?



What the want is to instill fear in the judiciary so the will be sure of winning any case when the start clamping down on the opponents against 2019 election.

Am sorry for lame zombies who fail to see the hand writing on the wall.shebi tinuba has been served Amala? Na ewedu remain

This argument doesn't make sense.

Like when a student gets caught for making noise and he says... " It wasn't only me... Babatunde too was talking. Why don't you catch him too"

They got caught. If they are guilty, why are you angry?

Is it possible to catch all criminals at once. Catch the ones we can now. Buhari wouldn't be there forever to protect his people. Abi him presidency na for life.

Nigerians don't want any improvement for Nigeria. I swear.

Henry240:
It is not an Irony. A thief cannot, does not have the moral justification to accuse anybody of theft.


Lying under oath, falsification of documents does not constitute a misdemeanor, especially when those acts are carried out to get elected into the Office of the President. It is a felony.


We have seen the economy tank because the president is absolutely clueless as to how to handle the economy.

What are we talking about

I thought this was about the corrupt judges that are being investigated. Why do you keep on bringing Buhari up?

And BTW, Buhari did not arrest them or accuse them. The laws of Nigeria did. Just like it is in any sane society.

SMH.

Henry240:
In the spirit of equity and justice. Buhari should take himself to court for falsification of documents and lying under oath. He had a case in court which was thrown out after multiple high level incidences of intimidation.



It is ironic for a corrupt individual to claim to be fighting corruption. Can a corrupt individual empower the law enforcement and Judiciary positively?

The world is full of ironies.

An example is that you are more concerned about allegations of falsification of records vs theft of millions.

Not sure about Nigerias legal system but one will probably be a misdemeanor while the other will be a felony.

oxmale:
yeah.

And also the fig tree did speak to Jesus

Verse 14 says - Jesus answered and said... Meaning there was a conversation there.

May God forgive us all.

O.P only asked a question and did not insult any body's belief.

Some questions are difficult to answer. Even science doesn't have answers to all questions.

Amusing to see so many different convincing "theories" about the fig tree.

Henry240:
If every criminal will have his own day of reckoning, when would Buhari's day of reckoning come for falsification of documents?

Just get your evidence, take him to court.

But let us make sure our law enforcement and judiciary system is empowered.

Henry240:
Funny... How corrupt judges like Okon Agban of the Federal High Court in Abuja who consistently rules in favour of the APC, and threw Abia into a state of confusion, somehow miraculously has been immune to this sting operation.


Our we going to fix Nigeria by selective sting operations?


Are you guys telling me, Nigeria does not require a Sting Operation to capture the Judge who suspended Buhari's certificate case indefinitely. indefinitely concerning buaris certificate?


The President who is fighting corruption when he lied about his qualification? Common guys, we are not all fools.

Even in advanced communities, are all the criminals arrested?

Does the fact that whoever you mentioned is currently free, make the others innocent.

It is like getting caught for being unfaithful to your wife and telling her that your friends are also unfaithful... Very juvenile.

And if we keep making excuses like this, Justice will never develop. We kill it at its infantile stage.

The US went through stages and are still going through stages to develop their justice system. The key is that they keep on building on what is already there ("maintenance culture" ) and not destroying the imperfect system.

For instance, if you are not connected in the US, you are more likely to get convicted for a trivial crime.

If we keep on making excuses for criminals, we the masses will continue to suffer.

Every criminal will have his own day of reckoning. Every day for monkey, one day for the owner. I'm sure you have heard of situations when people don't get convicted for many years. If we develop our justice system, empower law enforcement and the judiciary, everything is on paper. And people will pay for their corruption. They will spend their old age in prison. and this is what makes people more compliant with laws in advanced societies. We are impatient but it has to be a process.

So lets stop making excuses. Please.

Henry240:
Are you crazy? For what reason? Is this the way arrests are carried out in modern democracies?



After all the arrests how many convictions have been secured? How did the Saraki/Ekeweremadu case go?

How can there be convictions when the judiciary itself is corrupt.

Law enforcement - corrupt, Justice system - corrupt. how will anything work when there is a virus eating out its CPU.

A lot of Nigerians don't seem to understand how rigged the system is.

[s]And this automatically makes every case of pneumonia a result of force feeding?
[/s]
I think we have all agreed it is not a feeding method to be encouraged, that comment was directed at the poster sounding like the women who employed such method set out to kill their kids.

So, can you tell me why it is discouraged

Sometimes, people have good intentions but are misinformed about the consequences.

How is this different from rubbing cow feces on a wound in order to heal it.

That is why "educated" people should be at the forefront of discouraging these harmful practices and not defending it.

Sometimes, we cause harm to people we love by the things we do to them.

freecocoa:
If you don't know that force feeding a child, is for the sole purpose of getting the child to eat, then you shouldn't be on this thread or even on NL.

Abeg while trying to sound sophisticated or whatever, let's try to use common sense, insulting a mother who only wants her child to eat, is just really shallow.

Btw, so far as we know, no child has died from getting fed like that, turn on your brain before commenting next time, you talk crap a lot and I say that with no intent to disrespect you.

As far as you know!!!

Force feeding is a very common cause of pneumonia.

This is a link from a study that was done in Cameroon https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12288247

It is astounding to see ignorant comments from "educated young Nigerian folks"

Have any of you tried eating like this. Try it out and tell me how comfortable it is.

Shame!!!

I don't understand how the Governor and other officials are not ashamed.

But na Naija we dey.

ifeanyi83:
Thank you my brother!! You will be surprised that the total contract sum of this project must have been shared into parts, leaving the contractor with very little to execute the project and make profit. Very typical of government projects.

Thank you!!!

With corruption in Nigeria, the masses are the ones who suffer.

We don't seem to appreciate that fact. Dem don share all the money finish.

We go come dey celebrate one yeye road.

Hope plans dey for when oyel finish.

Dem fit plan am so that e go become amusement park when the oyel dry or nobody dey use oyel again.

Uterine rupture is an emergency that sometimes can only be fixed by removing the Uterus.

Unfortunately, healthcare is a sad state in Nigeria and a lot of unsuspecting pregnant mothers end up with unqualified/untrained pretenders during childbirth who lead them into complications.

Husband should go after the initial people that were taking care of him. The case should be investigated and if they are culpable of neglect, then thy should pay damages.

What if the whole African continent would come together and we would all have one common language.

There is power in a language and that's why the world speaks English.

Latin America continues to speak spanish. They have a major economic influence on America and you find a lot of Americans learn spanish as a second language.

Let us bring Africa to the world.

We don't have to unite in culture or country. Let us unite in Language.

OK.

I hope they were really armed Robbers!!!

Anybody who has experienced the corruption of the Nigerian Police will understand.

They were accused, judged and executed in the street.

And then paraded half n@ked.

What happened to giving in humility

Everything has to be publicized so that Nigerians (who are already looking for somebody/something to worship) can worship them.

SMH!!!
