PAEDIA EXPRESS!!EDITORIAL COMMENTARY ON THE POOR DELIVERY OF COURT JUDGEMENT BY THE NIGERIAN SUPREME COURTS OF JUSTICE

NOT IN MY WILDEST OF IMAGINATIONS ,NO MATTER HOW FERTILE THEY WERE WOULD I HAVE THOUGHT EVEN FOR A SECOND THAT THE TEMPLE OF JUSTICE OF OUR GREAT NATION:NIGERIA WILL BE GIVING OUT YAHOO-YAHOO RULING,HOW WE GOT HERE I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN,HOW VERY SAD....
WITH WHAT HAS BECOME OF OUR SUPREME COURT,NIGERIA IS ALMOST DEAD....

AS I READ THROUGH A COPY OF THE DAILY TRUST NEWSPAPERS OF YESTERDAY AT MY HUMBLE APARTMENT WHICH ALSO DOUBLE AS A LIBRARY AND A STUDY I WENT INTO A SHOCK ,I CANNOT BELIEVE THE CONTENT OF THE JUDGEMENT,EVEN AN ALHAJI WHO IS GOOD FRIEND OF MINE AND HAIL FROM KOGI STATE WITH ME AND A MEMBER OF THE P.D.P WHO ORDINARILY SHOULD REJOICE FROM THE RULING SINCE IT FAVORED HIS PARTY AGREED WITH ME THAT THE RULING WAS VERY POOR

THE LONG AND SHORT STORY OF THE BAYELSA STATE GOVERNORSHIP RULING WHICH GAVE VICTORY TO THE P.D.P AS AGAINST THE A.P.C IS THAT THE SWEARING OF A COURT AFFIDAVIT IN CHANGE OF IDENTITY IS KNOW LONGER TENABLE IN COURT AS IT COULD BE CALLED A FORGERY,WHAT A RULING AND WHAT A COUNTRY ,CAN SOMEBODY WAKE ME UP FROM THIS NIGHTMARE

WE WERE STILL TALKING OF IMO STATE AND HAD NOT GOTTEN OVER IT AND ITS ATTENDANT CRISIS AND NOW THIS ONE,WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE,LET THE POLITICAL CLASS WATCH IT SO AS NOT TO TAKE STEPS THAT WILL TRUNCATE OUR NASCENT DEMOCRACY

 THE BAYELSA GOVERNORSHIP TUSSLE FROM MY UNDERSTANDING OF STATES CRAFT IS A CLEAR CASE OF CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY AND A RAPE ON DEMOCRACY ,THE JUDGEMENT CANNOT STAND ANY SERIOUS SCRUTINY AND I DOUBT WHETHER ANY SERIOUS MINDED LAWYER WHO KNOWS HIS ONIONS WILL QUOTE FROM IT IN THE FUTURE,SIMPLY PUT THE JUDGEMENT WAS DUBIOUS

EVERYWHERE I GO,PEOPLE SAY THAT RULINGS ARE NOW BEING DONE FOR POLITICAL REASONS IN NIGERIA AS AGAINST BASIC COMMON SENSE WHICH IS NATURAL JUSTICE ,A PLATFORM ON WHICH THE JUSTICE SYSTEM GLOBALLY IS BUILT UPON.

OUT OF RESPECT FOR THE JUDICIARY ,WE NEVER CRITICIZE THEM IN OUR REPORTS AS A HOUSE STYLE AND NO MATTER THE FACTS AND FIGURES WE HAVE IN ANY CASE WE NEVER TRY TO PREEMPT THEM AS THAT COULD CAUSE CONFUSION FOR A CASE BEFORE THE COURTS AS WE UNDERSTOOD THE CONCEPT OF SEPARATION OF POWERS FULLY BUT IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE JUDICIARY WE THOUGHT WE HAD IS DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE ARE NOW SEEING,UNDER JUSTICE TANKO MAY GOD HELP US,AMEN
