In my humble opinion, there is difference between an "attack" on a "Corrupt" judge and  on "Judiciary" as an "institution". A "judge" or "lawyer" is not the "law" itself and as such should and must not be above the "law". Judges are appointed and once they reach certain age they retire. The "institution" of Judiciary remains even under Military regime. Judges come and go while the "institution" remains. There are  honest judges and lawyers just as bad eggs. 

The institution of "legislation" is also different from a "legislator". Attacks on "corrupt" legislators is not an attack on the institution" of "legislation". Since return to democracy from 1999 to date we have had so many Senate Presidents as well as speakers of House of Representatives. The institution of legislation remains while Senators and Reps members come and go. There could be good Senators /reps just as bad Senators/reps members. Dealing with a corrupt legislator does not amount to undermining its Independence. 

There is difference between "crime" and "ethnic" group or "region" or "religion". We must stop the "hypocrisy" that Muslims law offenders are "terrorists" while non - Muslims law offenders of the same magnitude of crime are "attackers". A criminal should and must be treated as such. A corrupt person whether a judge or lawyer or Muslim or Christian or northerner or Southerner must be treated as such. 

Let’s not spare corrupt Military, police, customs, Immigration, civil defense, Road safety, and NDLEA officers etc., let's not spare "corrupt" politicians, public and civil servants. No one should be above the law. We must "clean" our society of the menace of corruption. We must start it now. We must get rid of corrupt now! 

We need "strong" and "functional" institutions not "individuals" or "leaders" or "professions". We must support the fight against corrupt as a deterrent! We Must question judges, legislators, executives who are leaving above there means. The rule of law should not and must not spare judges or lawyers or legislators or members of the executive. 

However, the DSS or EFCC or ICPC or CCT or CCB should and must follow the laid down rules of the law in pursuing the law offenders. There should not and or must not be secret cows. Impunity must stop in Nigeria. 

May God bless Nigeria!

ISRAEL V. PALESTINE :THE HYPOCRISY OF TWO STATES SOLUTION

ISRAEL V. PALESTINE :THE HYPOCRISY OF TWO STATES SOLUTION                             By:                 Nurudeen Dauda                October 19, 2023 nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com "The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict"-Martin Luther King, Jr. Permit me to add my voice on the ongoing massacre of women, children, and armless civilians in Palestine. In my thought, it is not about who triggers the present massacre of the Palestinians , but it is time to talk about the 76 years of massacre of women, children, and the armless civilians of Palestine by the state of Israel which is being watched helplessly by the entire world. Before 1948, the Jews worldwide lived predominantly outside Palestine.They lived predominantly in easter...

INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY ON THE WAY

INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY ON THE WAY                                By:                          May 19th, 2023 nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com Barring any last minute changes a "bill" for the recognition of an independent candidacy will be transmitted to Mr president for his "assent". In my thought, if the "bill" is finally "signed" into law it will largely "checkmate" the "excesses" of "governors" and "moneybags" politicians who often denied "credible" candidates "tickets"in order to pave ways for their "anointed" ones no matter their weaknesses. In our modern day politics, we have had enough cases where "credible", "competent", and "popular" candidates loss primary elections due to lack of "money" or "godfather" or state governor's anointment.  In my thought, allowing independent...

ZAINAB'S ORDEAL: A CASE OF INSTITUTIONAL WEAKNESSES

ZAINAB'S ORDEAL: A CASE OF INSTITUTIONAL WEAKNESSES                         By              Nurudeen Dauda                May 5, 2019 nurudeendauda24@gmail.com nurudeendauda24@yahoo.com nurudeendauda.blogspot.com To begin with, there is now an alleged "drug cartel" in our airports which specialised in planting drugs on unsuspecting airtravellers. Of the six alleged members of the drug cartel arrested in connection with planting of Tramadol in a bag bearing Zainab Habibu Aliyu's name, three were said to be "clearing agents", two were said to be staff of a"security company" and one a staff of an "airline handling company". In my observation, the arrest of Miss Aliyu in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in respect of 2000 packs of "Tramadol" said to be found in a bag bearing her name has nothing , but succeeded in exposing our institutional weaknesses.Heads shoul...
