Your Lordship and the Sanctity of the Bench.
The events around the suspension or removal of the CJN depending on which side of the divide reveals the depth to which compromises has eaten into the Nigerian nation. The what is good for the goose (Ganduje)is good for the gander

CJN argument is raging. The selection to the Bench as a Magistrate,Judge or Khadi signifies elevation to a position of Primus inter pares 1st amongst equals. Men may commit atrocities but Judges should be seen to be and act lawfully always. When MY LORDS or Milord is equated to

Any man,then the scales cease to exist. The weight of the actions of men and women on the bench is the moral compass the Nigerian nation will live with no wonder the furor in the USA Supreme Court nomination of P Manafort. Excerpts from “THE ROAD TO JUSTICE” by

The Right Hon’ble Sir Alfred Denning, (Lord Denning) then Lord Justice of Court of Appeal. Hamlyn Lecture – delivered in September 1955
A JUDGE SHOULD BE BEYOND REPROACH
The sixth principle I would suggest is that a judge should in his own character be beyond reproach,

or at any rate should have so disciplined himself that he is not. I refer not to administrative offences like exceeding the speed limit but to grave offences which carry reproach in the eyes of the people, like being drunk in charge of a car.

If a judge should be found guilty of such an offence, whilst holding office, most people would say he should resign but a very difficult question may arise if a man should have been found guilty some years ago and then afterwards be considered for appointment as a judge.

The weight of the office demands MY LORDS should be leading lights and moral compasses for the Nation of Nigeria. I am not a lawyer just a father who’s children will ask one day what side were you on. The side of Morality
