Nigerian judges are always compromised because of the much power bestowed on the president, it is important for us to understand this fact about Nigeria, starting from when I get to have knowledge of about the happenings in Nigeria, things has never gone the right track, ranging from appointment and governance itself.
Just imagine a matter that can be decided by an ordinary person, our so-called learned colleagues will still decide otherwise, the Supreme Court needs autonomy starting from a financing and interference, with this, changes will be noticed in our judiciary, this will continue to happen hence the appointment of this judges are been done by the president through (NJC) may God help my country.
I feel like the only functioning arm of government in Nigeria currently is the Executive arm of the government. The rest which are suppose to be a different and independent body are just there answering the name but still taking orders from the executive body. That’s how bad our country has gone, the democracy is not longer for the people, rather some cartel who feel they are untouchables. With money they can buy their way out of any situation they are in. We are really in trouble if we don’t have any judicial.
Our government use their power to suppress other arms of government to even perform in the field, even with the core evidence provided to the court over the misconduct of the previous election, thank God for the internet we all witnessed the unraveling of the last election. We clearly saw how ballot papers were being destroyed some stolen. The court even with all this evidence still had to overrule the case, it is a big shame and they have no atom of credibility and dignity in their honor. We hoped they were going to save us from this dictatorship. Nothing seem right again in the country we are lawless country with constitution.
