Imperial 

You just don't get it.

There are 3 branches of govt in a democracy--the executive, legislative and the executive. These arms are to serve as check and balances to each other. Each arm has the internal process to hold their members in check. In a situation where one arm decided to whittle the power of other arms as we are witnessing in Nigeria today is nothing but tyranny. Where are those occupying the NASS, they will soon be manipulated as usual to occupy the judiciary. A man who occupied the chief executive position, put his kinsmen in all national security positions, his kitchen cabinet members are members of his household means no good. Let those getting carried away that the man is fighting "kwaraption" be romancing their thighs and hoping to get pregnant. As the Yoruba says "Eemo ti wo lu"--"Things fall apart; the center cannot hold:/Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world."-William Butler Yeates

The PMB is using Erdogan/Saddam Hussein playbook

The playbook

1. Whittle down power of the FEC by calling them noisemakers and appointing those with questionable characters as ministers. Hence, yes men--Oga sope--"Oga at the top mindset"

2. Whittle the NASS

3. Whittle the military using Dasuki arms and other means. Getting rid of the non-compliant folks and making their leader a Brutai an ethically challenged man

4. Weaken oppositions

5. Go after godfathers such as Tinubu

6. Fracture the judiciary and turn them to tools to rubber stamp his wants and desires

7. Attack all past administrations as corrupt and incompetent and he is the Messiah 

8. Next phase will be decrees and physical elimination of opponents and opposition.

I hope you will wake up and smell the coffee

Nigerians are gradually throwing away their democracy and freedom. Every group in Nigeria is a reflection of the society. An ethnoreligious nepotic president is not what any reasonable person should rally around. 

"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.-Pastor Martin Niemöller

Idowu, 

Do you honestly think any society with the type of our corrupt judiciary 
can move forward in a century ? 

Why do you always support those who looted the resources of the masses and those hawking justice like puff-puff ?

 If America was as mismanaged as Nigeria, would you like to emigrate to the country ? You are being unfair to the rest of us .

BREAKINGNEWS: One of the arrested judges had $2Million (N960Million) stashed in his house - DSS STATEMENT

PRESS STATEMENT BY THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE SERVICES

The Department of State Services (DSS) in the past few days, has embarked on series of special sting operations involving some Judges of the Supreme, Appeal and High Courts. These operations were based on allegations of corruptions and other acts of professional misconduct by a few of the suspected Judges. The Service action is in line with its core mandate, as we have been monitoring the expensive and luxurious lifestyle of some of the Judges as well as complaints from the concerned public over judgment obtained fraudulently and on the basis amounts of money paid.

The judges involved were invited, upon which due diligence was exhibited and their premises searched. The searches have uncovered huge raw cash of various denominations, local and foreign currencies, with real estate worth several millions of Naira and documents affirming unholy acts by these Judges. Meanwhile, some of them have made useful statements while a few have declined even with the glaring evidences that were found against them in terms of material cash, documents and property recovered pointing to their compromise.

In one of the States where the Service operations were conducted, credible intelligence revealed that the Judge had Two Million United States Dollars ($2,000,000 USD) stashed in his house. When he was approached for due search to be conducted, he in concert with the State Governor, mobilized thugs against the Service team. The team restrained itself in the face of unbridled provocative activities by those brought in by the Governor. Unfortunately, the Judge and Governor also engaged the tacit support of a sister security agency.

The Service surveillance team noticed that upon frustrating the operation, the Judge with the active support of the Governor craftily moved the money to an unknown location which the Service is currently making effort to unravel.

Meanwhile, large amount including foreign/local currencies have been recovered. Summaries of these include:

SUMMARY OF RECOVERED MONEY

1. NAIRA - N93,558,000.00

2. DOLLARS - $530,087

3. POUNDS - £25,970

4. EURO - €5,680

Other foreign currencies were also recovered. This were recovered from just three (3) of the judges.

These in addition to other banking documents, including real estate documents have been recovered. Meanwhile preparations are ongoing to arraign them in a competent court of jurisdiction in line with the laws of the nation.

The Service would want to clearly state that it has never invited Justice Walter NKANU ONNOGHEN for investigation, neither is he being investigated by this Service. In addition the Service would like to put it on record, that it has tremendous respect for the Judiciary and would not do anything to undermine it or its activities. The Service will also join hands with this noble institution in its fight to rid it of few corrupt Judges whose actions is undermining not only the Judiciary but the common bond of our national life.

Ladies and gentlemen, this current operation will be sustained and followed till sanity and sanctity is restored to the esteemed third arm of government and public confidence is regained.

Members of the public are also encouraged to avail the Service of any information which could assist in this drive to rid our nation of corrupt practices and tendencies.

THANK YOU.

Abdullahi GARBA,

Department of State Services,

Abuja.
