Did you not read the post? Last year,the njc forwarded 4 names and 3 were southerners.this made the supreme court to have 4 more judges than northerners,buhari has appointed four northerners to make it equal

Your explanation is even better than the news report. So the president is aware about balancing positions yet he doesn’t do so in appointments. Buhari issue is not lack of knowledge but hypocritical and tribalism motivated.

These judges have nothing positive to offer and they won’t give boko bois death sentence by hanging or electric chair

The appointment of these judges are evenly distributed. Check your facts: south west already has 3 , south east 3. The recent appointments are to filled up the vacant slots of other regions.
SW 4

So you don't know the constitution and you always claim that pdp will win edo? Stop talking impulsively.the law says the maximum number of judges in apex court is 21.now,they are 20 judges,south 10 north 10.

The process of appointing judges start with the njc drafting names and forwarding it to buhari who forwards it to the Senate for screening.buhari now approves and they are sworn it


Oga he is talking about the independence of the judiciary at that level.

For those saying, when a Southerner becomes a President .... I can assure you that no Southerner has the interest of fellow Southerners at heart. Southerners will always developed and empowered Northerners for relevance. The antecedents are there.

My brother,buhari is unfairly accused.various reports and statistics have actually shown that the south has benefited more appointments than the north.54% of all buhari appointments are from the south with the west leading.ogun and lagos has more appointments than katsina.cross river has more appointments than kano.I can post the link if you want

My point is that Buhari or whoever sits there should never have any input on how or who becomes the judge. That is supposed to be an independent arm of government for crying out loud.

Why does the president not approve who sits in the legislative houses?

A Nigerian president controls a lot, even other arms of government that should out him in check. This is wrong!

Mind you, I have never commented on Edo election. You people always think that anyone who criticizes the system is a PDP members who is against your Buhari and APC.

Buhari is creating enemies for the North. He won't stay there forever but the effects of what he had created will be there for a long time. When a southerner tolls this path all Northerners should remember that Bihari did it first. Enjoy and wail later
Let's stop receiving ourselves. No southern president is bold enough to repay back the nepotism Buhari is executing now because of this inherent cowardice mentality in us. Jonathan was there, instead of him to be brave enough to focus development in the South, he was busy pleasing the same north who were against him because of the inherent cowardice mentality. Just watch! Another Southerner will enter there and will start preaching national unity and may even appoint more northerners into his/her government.

It is the constitution that empowers buhari to have a say in judicial appointments not his own making.it is still part of checks and bslsnces because the judiciary and legislature also have some control on the executive.before the leaders of nass are sworn in,the president usually reads a proclamation letter...

This is Africa,we are still evolving.our traditional system was mainly monarchical and dictatorial,oyibo brought this Democratic system.it doesn't fit us,we are struggling to adapt it

Stupid bigots like you are the problem of the south. Until people like you realise that your tribalism here will not get the south any where.

North is quite aware that we wont be have unified voice against any stupid decision by them.

That's exactly what I was thinking

One day power will leave north

No matter how much they try to hold on to it

And when this happens

Any future southern president that try that will not be reelected for second term that i assured.
