It is the exclusive reserve of the supreme court to decide as final any matter brought before it and it remains final and the law.
The base principal is that a successful litigatant is entitled to the fruit of his judgement Imo case is not an exception Hope Uzodimma as a successful litigatant is the Governor of Imo State. The other contestants slept on their rights. They cannot stay at home fold their hand await the supreme court to make them Governor.
Why are we mayopic the judge ruled in River State case yet her was APC. In this case all justices were unanimous in their judgment.
The resentment over the executive manuver of the dismissal of the former CJN should not used as a parameter for disparaging our erudite jurists. The judgement is sound and respects the legal principle that a party is entitled to the fruit of his judgement and you cannot award to party what he has not asked for. The 2nd and 3rd runner ups decided to give up their rights and cannot complain against the successful party in court.
The supreme court cannot by any imagination award the governorship to a party who is not in court and has no relief before it. That will be a blunder and extravagant abuse of the principles of law.
Let us await the reasons for the judgement.
Political gladiator are all ready conjuring attacks on a field they know little. Leave our judges out this

Nigeria has become a theatre for breaches of every known democratic principles, I am proud of Nigeria when it comes to breaches of theorised and well studied principles of democracy and rule of law. It is only in Nigeria that the right to vote is not in the Constitution and it"s only in Nigeria there is no equality of persons before the law. If you question this, then where does immunity belong to, the president, vice president and Governor is free to loot. In fact he can kill while he is in office and still remain in office. While in office he can hold all electoral officers to write results for him and he can hold anybody ransom in government house and nothing would happen, he can afford to bulldoze any building and nothing would happen and the victims would have to wait for 4-8years before they can get justice. An example of this is in Owerri where the governor bulldozed the buildings of citizens and they watched in agony with no compensation. Until our legislators remove the immunity clause and bring in independent prosecutor and ban any politically exposed persons who is directly linked to rigging of election, we must create strong institution against election rigging and device means of catching them at the scene of crime and our security operative must not operate under fear, INEC must be armed with the power to ban and investigate electoral rigging and security operative must work under them for this purpose. A total revolution is needed against breaches of the law and democratic principles including rule of law. My fellow brothers and sisters I've spoken like though I'm speaking in parables, our researchers, profs, all voters and stakeholders must do their research on how leaders can be elected for the people and by the and so that our votes would count. Democracy is for the people and by the people, that was what I was thought in primary school. A country that does not obey the orders of the court and where judgement can't be enforced at all levels would be making mockery of the judiciary. If we speak out, the solutions would be found. We must find these solutions.

Atiku hope you and good people of Nigeria have articulated that judicial vengeance is sweet to the victor particularly when such victor had suffered such facts in the past.
Congratulations to Bharti for your careful plan for this victory and had work. The strategy may be negative but it gave you the anticipated results.
First you pushed Uncle Jonathan to remove itself by card reader to ensure that his own people's vote did not count and it did not count, he lost. The same smart card reader that brought Buhari to power has been declared to be of no legal consequence. Lying in affidavit is also of no legal consequence in electoral forms. Hail Nigeria judicial system.
Secondly, you refused to sign well articulated electoral Act into law recognizing and legalising card reader in law will rob you like Uncle Jonathan and Nigerians never protested or went to court.
Thirdly, you through good military propoganda destroyed a good jurist in the person of the former CJN convicted him in his court and was dismissed by his colleagues
Why are Nigerians disappointed. Who among Nigeria judges what to be in the shoes of former CJN. We are guilty and have continued by our acts to destroyed the good and upright jurists and statesmen in our country.
President Buhari demonstrated that he is a general in charge of this country and can not suffer the same of lossing as he had said when he lost to Uncle Jonathan there is no justice in our legal system.
In the legal history of electoral cases, President Buhari has had fair share of it. Good man like Atiku should please congratulate him and tow the part of Uncle Jonathan if you continue you be forced to seek judicial revenge you may be swallowed and may in future repeated what our president had done. Buhari is not a bad man he has only fought a system that brought him down. Atiku please consider the suffering of the masses you represent and restrategize.

The duties of the legislature is to control the Executive. Despite court judgements against governors for various constitutional breaches the legislatures in many states had be cowed to remain silent and bury their heads in the ground for fear of the reaction of their governors. Many of the legislators share their salaries and allowance or run away from their homes and offices as they cannot co-op with the gifts to poor condtituients who had not been paid their salaries, benefits and pension and gratuity. They legislate poverty and pass every bill whole sale. This is not democracy. Where in a society the legislature is deprived the power to speak is no democracy. It is pure return to military rule where the legislature is completely absent and fussed in the executive arm. Where the governors use state budgets to keep the legislature quit is unacceptable. He who pays the Piper decorate the music to be played. What is the way out of these problems? Is constitutional provision for autonomy? The judiciary had such provisions yet, it is abused every day. The fight for actual enforcement of the constitutional autonomy for state Judiciary had begun in Kogi State and many other state. Let our governors allow such independence as they like Okorocha may need the services of the same Judiciary they are fighting to extenguish. Late Governor Audu of blessed memory won majority his political battle in court. I pray that the governors learn from history and restore peace in their states. As a governor your tenure will come to an end one day and your last hope will certainly be the Judiciary. It is a temple please keep it holy.

Amassing wealth by stealing public funds is satanic. The effects are non payment of salaries, hunger and corruption. Public funds are like flowers in the garden, admire them and groom them for common good it will blossom.

Do image you are placed in authority by God to take care of the garden and you failed to pay the workers buy water for the garden or maintain the cutters. Obviously the garden will witness gradual death as the flowers are unkept, weak and blossom garden is gone. But the master is very rich. Master tells himself the people do not matter I will remain their master. If they conduct election I will kill them and rigg it. The law had been crafted that I can not be sued. The legislature had no powers I rigged their election and brought my loyalists. The judiciary can barck but cannot bite, I will refuse to obey any order. That is the birth of a tyrant
Sycophants takes over, the weakening of the judiciary is the begining of reign of terror Nigerians should be alert.
1. Immunity for the President, vice President, Governor and deputy Governor should be removed from our Constitution. What make them more special than the other heads of governments; such as Chief justice of Nigeria and State Chief judges or President of the Senate and Speakers of State Houses of Assembly.
2. Immunity clauses are designed by the military and imported Constitution to create powerful corrupt tyrants and must be removed. The President or governor is only head of one arm of government.
3. They should be prosecuted where they have an approved appropriation law to pay salary every month but fail to pay. The civil servant can hold the governor accountable.
4. Non payment of salary and refusal to provide basic amenities are killer virus that had deminished progress as it had multiplier effects. No money to pay school fees, pay medicinal bill, or to feed. Refusal to pay salaries and allowances as appropriated most be made punishable and any person found to be involved most be prosecuted of after Immunity clause had been removed or amended. Immunity clauses Will not protect any corruption in office.
The legislators must raise and leave up to their responsibilities. We must reform the present Nigeria state, the problem is not just in one state but in most states of the country. It is therefore structure. A chance is necessary.

I apologise for long absence. Human rights as we have seen are rights that keeps us human and basic to our existence. In ranking of fundamental rights first and foremost is right to life. Once the right to life is lost all other rights have no meaning. Do we have the right to terminate our life since it is our right and thus our property?

The answer is under normal circumstances no. If you attempt to take your life and you fail you will be charged for attempted su***de and punished according to the law.

Where a person is vegetable and is on life support he may by any sign indicate that he want to be disconnected to die. That is right to die.

The right to life can be denied by ex*****on of sentence of a court of law. Human rights activists view this as unnecessary law death penalty should be abolished as it violent human kind.
It can also be denied where law enforcement agencies are allow to use reasonable force to suppress riot or prevent crime or kill absconding suspect. Join to say no to DEATH PENALTY.
