NIGERIA'S 2015 GENERAL ELECTION MY SHRINKING CONFIDENCE IN THE RULE OF LAW!

After carefully, taking a look at the Political Terrain in preparation for the forthcoming general elections in Nigeria that will make or mar the Country (Nigeria). I was forced to also look elsewhere, amidst the talks, the rallies, the stories, the controversies, the fights and the insults, i was forced to look at the Judiciary to see how they are prepared to help curb the excesses of these desperate politicians and those going to be used as thugs during this election.

After taking a careful perusal at the Judiciary in the country, i discovered that we are not ready. Why? it may surprise you to know that they are on strike at the critical moment. Strike? yes, they are on strike!

Then we will be forced to look at the Law Enforcement Agencies, but they are not meant to prosecute defaulters, their job is to make sure law and order is maintained. Hmnnn. I hope this strike trend is reverse if we are ready to make sure we want to do the right thing. I set out to discuss with one of my former boss, the man i worked along with with for three (3) years as a Publicity Secretary in a Law Firm (Oforma Ikenna & Associates) a passionate Attorney and a learned and vision filled lawyer.

Hear him, "Nigeria shouldn't be witnessing a Judiciary Strike at this stage" even is what they are asking for is a tall order for a country like Nigeria, i think they deserve it. (Judicial Independence).

Truth be told, i know and have this filling that things will go well and Nigeria will be peaceful once more and so will our faith, even as Latter-day Saints wait to see the outcome of this election, we hope for a better treatment of the Nigerian Judiciary and the consideration of the rule of law.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA!
