CORRUPTION IN THE JUDICIARY WILL CRUMBLE THROUGH DIVINE ANOINTING OF FEW NIGERIANS!

All through its early national history, the Israelites, - especially during the Old Testament Bible times, - had an arch-enemy in a Semitic warrior race called the Philistines, who were as numerous "as the sands of the sea shore"; always over-bearing, proud and arrogant in attitude towards the Jews for their sheer intimidating population! There was a time during a deliberately provoked war, that the Philistine soldiers broke the ranks of the Israeli forces and stole from them, their most priced and treasured protective divine symbol, "The Ark of the Covenant of God", which went up before every battle they ever won. However, it turned out that the Holy Ark was divinely fortified and too powerful for the pagans to keep in their custody in that, when they placed the Ark of God side by side with their human-fashioned idol god called "Dagon", the idol fell and broke its neck at the first instance and at the second, when it was repaired and set up again, it fell heavily and broke into smittens! (Read I Samuel. Chapters 4-7).
There was another time when they provoked another war in which they besieged the entire nation of Israel and challenged the Jewish soldiers to choose the strongest among them to a duel with their giant warrior called Goliath; 13 feet, 4 inches (5.4 metres), tall man-mountain, who had mighty helmet, spear, sword and shield! After weeks of bragging without any opponent in sight, God chose a young shepherd boy called David to call the Philistines' bluff! He did not only kill the Goliath with a smooth brook stone, slung from his sling, but also cut off his head with the mighty sword which he inherited as war souvenir! Seeing that their giant was killed, the Philistines fled but were pursued by the Israeli soldiers, and great was the slaughter! And throughout David's latter years of reign as King of Israel, the Philistines were totally routed! (Read I Samuel Chapter 17). The import of the preceding narrative is that every creation - especially Nigerian ATHEISTS who are replica of the biblical ungodly Philistines - should believe that GOD is sovereign over all of His creation and that He and He alone, Has the power over all the affairs of men and can achieve His purposes through very FEW individuals like a small nation as Israel and a young lad like David! Nigeria's common wealth like the "Ark of God” is too precious for rogues to covet, steal and keep!  If God could defeat evil and aggressive nations by few groups through His supernatural powers, would it be difficult for Him to set up a righteous government in Nigeria through a few group, arrest all those who had broken into the coffers of this nation and embezzled all of its silver/gold and recover from all of them, the loots in their custody? It is no longer news that many corrupt Nigerians who benefitted from illicit wealth had made restitution by returning such to government; and it will be in the interest of the others to follow suit before the divine whip strikes them with incurable plagues as reprisal for their greediness! Naked, they came into this world and naked, they would depart! There was also a Hebrew youth named Gideon, who defeated the large army of Midianite oppressors, which men of war dominated the centre of Palestine in their millions with only 300 at God's command, out of the initial 32.000 men, he initially amassed for war! (Judges. Chapters 6-7). In today's modern world, Israel stands out as a World Power Block, in its own right, militarily, industrially, and economically through righteous/diligent national institutions! Roundabout the geographical land scape of modern Israel, are the ruins of all nations that at one time or the other had waged war against the small but divinely powerful nation of the 21st Century!

Since the ungodly introduction of MONEY POLITICS into the Electoral system in Nigeria, millions of unpatriotic Nigerians now openly canvass that the nation, (in spite of all strategic economic innovations being meticulously shored up to increase revenue and ease the burden of cost inflation on the citizenry), should back-pedal into the era of national corruption that characterised past administrations! Some very aggressive, modern and ungodly Nigerians like the biblical PHILISTINES and MIDIANITES, have consistently and in large numbers boldly asserted that the Jonathan Administration was better than the present Change Government because a "status quo" of institutional corruption was more acceptable than an era of economic recession and hardship! Money politics was not limited to the Executive and Legislature but was also extended by politicians to the Judiciary which WAS regarded as the last hope of the common man because since the latest accusation of large-scale corruption against members of the revered Bench, the entire population of fraudulent Nigerians have defended the judges' integrity and chorused that they were innocent and untouchable in spite of the avalanche of physical, material and incriminating evidences amassed by the Department of State Security (DSS), for their prosecution in court!

On 4th May 2014, in our No. 38th Edition of the Zion B-BC NEWSLETTER, we published the following excerpts under the title: "CORRUPTION IN THE JUDICIACY! WHERE REST THE LAST HOPE OF THE COMMON MAN"? Please read: "Three quarters of Nigerian prisoners are AWAITING TRIAL DETAINEES, most of whom have spent over 15 years in detention! Comptroller General of the Nigerian Prison Service [NPS], in a shocking revelation, recently said, “….of 50,601 inmates in the various prisons, 36,934, are awaiting trial. Majority of the detainees, not including those held in the various Police cells across Nigeria and who have been refused bail, are charged with capital offences, such as armed robbery and many have since died incarcerated! “The slow process of trial of inmates by the courts is also responsible for more than 90 per cent of prison population in urban centres.” These awaiting-trial detainees are the poor masses of our societies, as no rich man or woman ever waits for any trial since favourable and pre-determined judgments are courier-delivered to their homes, in some cases, by crooked judges! The Rule of Law specifies that  every suspect is presumed innocent until found guilty by a competent court of jurisdiction, but what obtains in Nigeria’s prison system is “the RUSE of LAW”, where suspects, with the deliberate connivance of the COURTS are refused bail or prosecution, and are condemned to dungeons and early graves! "Judicial powers of the Nigerian State, both at the Federal and State levels, are vested in the JUDICATURE, which consist of the superior courts of record, established for the Federation, according to Section 6, subsection (5) (a) to (i) of the 1999 Constitution. These consist of the following: the Supreme Court of Nigeria, the court of Appeal, the Federal High Court, the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, a High Court of a State, the Sharia Court of Appeal of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, a Sharia Court of Appeal of a State, the Customary Court of Appeal of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and a Customary Court of Appeal of a State. According to an insider, a retired President of the Court of Appeal, the Nigerian Judiciary harbours corrupt elements who are politicians and government apologists who attend all manner of social gatherings and frolic even with litigants with pending cases before their courts! How can judges decide cases against their political parties and people they wine and dine with?
"As a guest speaker at a recent lecture titled, “Nigeria at Centenary: A Nation In Bondage”, the retired President of the Court of Appeal said that the noble efforts of the incumbent Chief Justice of Nigeria, to sanitize and rid the judiciary of corrupt elements were being frustrated by “the crop of people calling the shots at the Nigerian Judicial Council [NJC],” adding that some dishonourable people, “not fit to be judges and senior lawyers, get into the system, make it to the highest level of the judicial career and subsequently frustrate the common man’s quest for justice and equity!” He also claimed that it was an open truth that, both serving and retired judges act as the “arrangees” or couriers, who reach out to “purchase justice on behalf of crooked litigants” and concluded that the problems with the Nigerian Judiciary might be compounded or unresolved for a long time because Nigerians naturally hate the truth and whoever dared voice the truth was marked for destruction! "We salute the courage of this fearless retired President of the Court of Appeal whose entire professional career at both the Bar and the Bench, remained untainted and impeccable like the likes of Justices Chukwudi Oputa, Bobakayode Eso, Ayo G.Irikefe, John Idowu Conrad Taylor,  Ovie Whiskey, Chiefs ‘Tunji Braithwaite and Gani  Fawehinmi etc; because what we have today are judges who have made Nigeria’s justice system by itself very criminal.

“ The story was told of Late Justice John Idowu Conrad Taylor, a Chief Judge of Lagos State during the military administration, who turned down his Governor’s official invitation to a State Dinner on the following grounds:  “ Lagos State Government has several pending cases before me……I find it inappropriate to honour the invitation”. At his demise, Military Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon eulogised him for his sterling qualities. Do such Nigerian judges exist in today’s 21st century universe?
The Federal Government should be more pro-active in funding the EFCC to pursue to its logical conclusion, all vital allegations of graft against these judges and publicly bring them to justice in order to purge and cleanse the judiciary, restore her reputation and establish a deterrent to others of their ilk! "Of the late Supreme Court Judge, Bobakayode Eso, (1925-2012), were the following WORDS ON MARBLE crafted: “He was an Icon even in death; Nigeria may never have his replacement – a very rare breed. Justice Eso was an untainted Judge with high integrity; one of the great Nigerians, incorruptible, academic, intelligent, serious-minded patriotic, scandal-free. A courageous judge and a consistent advocate for an independent judiciary whose long and exemplary life was dedicated to the service of law and order and the dispensation of true justice, equity and fairness to all.” We need more of the Eso’s, Conrad Taylors, Gani Fawehinmi’s, Oputas in our modern judiciary to re-build and restore the lost confidence of the COMMON MAN in Nigeria’s judicial system. We have a crop of patriotic legal minds, men and women of proven integrity who are ready to serve our great nation without soiling their hands and names! Will the corrupt politicians at the helm of affairs give them the opportunity to serve their Fatherland? Let Nigerians be assured that if they fail to make the necessary RESTITUTION now, GOD WILL REMOVE AND REPLACE THEM ACCORDING TO HIS SOVEREIGN WILL! AMEN." (End of excerpts).  Because the Change Administration expressed its distaste for a corrupt Judiciary, Nigerians who were averred to perverting the cause of justice ferociously condemned the DSS Sting Operation, which exposed seven allegedly corrupt Judges and from whose homes operatives also allegedly recovered, about N93 million in both local and foreign currencies which would be tendered at their trial which should commence soon! NJC had always favoured past indicted judges to retire with full benefits and enjoy their illicit gains unmolested, but that must not happen this time around!

THE LONE VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS, RETIRED JUDGE OF THE APPEAL COURT, JUSTICE AYO SALAMI, HAS BEEN VINDICATED! The NJC is the enemy within the Third Arm of Government! They have no choice than to follow due process by asking the accused judges to step aside and face prosecution! NJC must be purged for righteous persons to take over and dispense justice against erring judges appropriately when necessary!    GOD HAS A COVENANT OF RIGHTEOUS GOVERNMENT WITH THE PEOPLE OF NIGERIA AND PRESIDENT BUHARI WHO HAD BEEN DIVINELY CHOSEN FOR THE ANTI-CORUPTION CRUSADE WOULD SUCCEED LIKE DAVID AND GIDEON IN SPITE OF ALL ENEMY INTIMIDATIONS! AMEN.
