The National Judicial Council has asked
the senior seven judges arrested in October
by the DSS for alleged corruption to step
aside.
In reaction to this development,
Comedian Ali Baba had this to
say:
I had the last laugh!
We are a bunch of people who
are easily swayed by sentiments.
That is one of the reasons that
we are where we are in a society
where the courts have failed us.
How can you have people who
are bigger than the law? The
same law that they are supposed
to protect? How can we let the
last hope of the common man be
eroded by injustices? People
have been shouting quietly, that
the judiciary was stinking to
high heavens.
That young lawyers were being
frustrated by senior lawyers who
use their connections to win
cases rather than the articulation
of their arguments.
Yet some idiots, yes, idiots, call
themselves learned, and come
out to say calling such judges to
order is overstepping executive
powers!!! How?!!!
Do you know why judges are
called “my lord”? They are gods!
They can give and take life! One
wrong ruling and you will see
your life crash! A former Chief
Justice of Lagos told me that In,
2001, a woman went to court to
get her marriage dissolved, and
the husband begged the judge
not to dissolve it.
That he will change since the
wife meant the whole world to
him. The judge adjourned the
case and invited the couple to
his chambers.
He asked the man to win back
his wife. The man was lying
down in his chambers to beg the
wife. This said couple just
celebrated their 25th wedding
anniversary. The judge can
destroy lives. They are like
doctors. One single error of
judgement can mean the whole
world will come crashing down
for the person denied justice.
Even the lawyers in NBA, who
initially protested, later saw
beyond the smoke screen of
sentiments to make a U-Turn!
Some of those who were
shouting politicized arrest, had
not even seen the case files. A
drowning man will grasp at
anything. So if the Justices were
Innocent, they can exonerate
themselves, get lawyers to stand
in for them, and make some
killing.
And since they know the
judiciary is infallible, they can be
sure they will win. So what is
the problem? Is it not in this
country, that young lawyers with
promising future, face up to
SANs, and when the elder fellow
sees he is about to lose the case
will be adjourning till the
defendant dies out of frustration
and case is struck out?
