NBA as the foremost professional association of lawyers must not be seen to offer free legal services to institutions that refused to obey its own laws and regulations in the conduct of elections in Nigeria. INEC cannot be exonerated from blame in electoral rascality in Nigeria.

When the judiciary dances political music on fabricated facts you will see the nakedness of the revered masquerades. I am not a prophet of doom. But the future is bleak. To get justice on good fact may be hard. Pollution everywhere. Truth without colored facts can't get justice.

Today, I may not make sense in this write-up. Please bear with me. God is gradually answering my prayers in Nigeria. I am happy that the vast majority of Nigerians are finding life tough. Prices of everything have gone beyond the reach of many homes. The poverty level does not

For Nigeria to have free, fair and credible elections, we must do away with the culture of irresponsibility rooted in the theory of “substantial compliance” with the provisions of the law. It is either we comply with the law or we do not. We should not breach our laws.

Most people in politics in Nigeria are like fish.They cannot survive outside the water of plundering/stealing of Nigeria resources for personal and selfish reasons. That is why they jump from party to party or belong to a party but work against their parties for selfish interest.

Nigeria’s road to unity of purpose is still too far. I said this against the background of the reactions of Nigerians home and abroad to the JAMB vs Mmesoma episode the alleged forgery of jamb scores. Already some people are seeing ethnic agenda in the whole drama.

I don’t think Nigerians need to fast and pray in the churches or mosques for our rulers to succeed. No. All we need now is to hold our leaders accountable. In all developed countries the citizens hold their leaders accountable. The citizens too are accountable.

You get court orders it is disobeyed by those who have duties to obey it and nothing happened to them. No one come to your aid. Impunity everywhere. We preach rule of law but we have no respect for the rule of law. Everyone is lawlessness. Everyone is law unto themselves.

Nigeria has potentials to be great.The leaders and the led must be ready to pay the price for the greatness of Nigeria. The best price is for all of us to accept to be bound by law and nobody should be treated as more special than the others. Let us respect the rule of law

The way politics is played by the old and the young in Nigeria there is no hope for vast majority of Nigerians. It is stomach politics. No interest of the people. Just check the ministerial nominees. Apart from few it is those who put us where we are that are coming back.

As long as those who put us where we are now are not punished according to law, the next generations will continue to emulate and copy the examples of yester years. Today those whose tomorrow are being destroyed joined hands with those destroying their tomorrow to destroy Nigeria

Nobody respect the law of Nigeria. Nigeria is a lawless society. Like satanic agents, it gives people and institutions joy to be lawless. There are no consequences for disobedience. That is why impunity regns in geometric proportions in Nig. Nig needs help and deliverances.
