Well Chidi:
Don't be too fast to celebrate, for in Nigeria's current climate of executive branch proclivity towards general disregard of court rulings and court orders, ranging from the highest point to the lowest point of the political spectrum, this Supreme Court ruling, important as it is, may also fall by the wayside. I understand that this political ill-wind of general executive branch disregard of court orders has eaten so deeply into the arteries of the political system that even parastatals and other governmental entities also routinely disregard court orders. One electrical power distribution official ruefully narrated to me how a state governor (now a senator) ordered the destruction of one of their facilities when the power distribution company disconnected electrical power supply to that state's government entities on account of debts owed by the said state government. I also learned that military barracks and police stations also disregarded court orders for them to pay up! I understand that governmental entities are among the highest debtors to power suppliers despite court orders to pay up. That's is the Nigeria that exists today? When the rot starts from the top, this is the kind of inevitable trickle down outcome that you should expect!
