Racoon:

You are full of darkness and that's why there's no light of God in you.

It is because of people like you who commit crime like criminal defamation that God ensured that He placed people like Chief Justice Kekere-Ekun in authority to curb your ungodliness and keep criminals away from polluting the society.

Except you repent, there is no way that you will still not be put in the place God ordained that people like you should be kept(prison) according to Romans 13:4

fergie001:
She is the second woman to be sworn-in as CJN

Landmark decisions
Kekere-Ekun upturned the decisions of the lower Court and tribunal, thereby preparing and delivering the judgement that sacked Emeka Ihedioha and affirmed Odidika Hope Uzodinma as Governor of Imo State.

She also prepared and delivered the judgement that affirmed Yahaya Bello as Governor of Kogi State following the imbroglio between the APC & Yahaya Bello against James Faleke after the death of Abubakar Audu.

She prepared and delivered the judgement that affirmed ex-Osun Governor, Gboyega Oyetola against Ademola Adeleke in 2020, citing the absence of the Tribunal chair in one of the sittings.

Kekere-Ekun also prepared and delivered the judgement that affirmed PDP's Nyesom Wike against Dakuku Peterside in 2016, after the tribunal and Appeal Court had nullified Wike's victory and called for a fresh election.

May God bless her and give her good health to perform her duty diligently.
No evil will befall her and anybody who wish her evil will see evil in her life and family.
Congratulations Mama Daadaa.

Nothing IPOB terrorists will not complain against. Even with this envious profile carried by this woman, they still think one chukwodi was the right person to occupy the CJN. Soon, their messiahs Obi and that old fool Prost will write to the UN, ECOWAS, and COMMONWEALTH on how they are being shortchanged.

A list of five decisions pronounced by Kekere-Ekun at the Supreme Court bench, which have been cited by the National Industrial Court:

Courts must rely on their records
In a case between the Peoples Democratic Party and another against Barrister Sopuluchukwu E. Ezeonwuka & another (2017), Kekere-Ekun held that “in order to do substantial justice between the parties, the Court is entitled to look at its file or record and make use of the contents.”

This implies that courts are expected to rely on their records (or court files) in reaching a decision. The court’s file usually contains all documents and exhibits associated with a particular case.

Affected parties can sue
In a 2019 case between the Centre for Oil Pollution Watch and NNPC, Kekere-Ekun held that a party directly affected by development can approach the court for redress.

In that case, she held that the appellant, by its pleadings, had shown that some of its members and the general public were affected by the destruction of marine life, water, streams/rivers occasioned by the alleged negligence of the defendant.

“I am satisfied that it has shown sufficient interest in the subject matter of the suit to clothe it with the necessary standing to sue. It is for these and the more elaborate reasons ably advanced in the lead judgment that I would allow this appeal,” she stated in a concurring judgment.

The burden of proof rests on the claimant
In a 2018 case, Kekere-Ekun held that where a claimant seeks declaratory reliefs, the burden is on him or her to prove entitlement to those reliefs on the strength of their own case.

“A declaratory relief will not be granted, even on an admission. The claimant is also not entitled to rely on the weakness of the defense, if any. It has been held that the rationale for this position of the law is that a claim for declaratory rights calls for the exercise of the Court’s discretionary powers in favour of the claimant. He must therefore place sufficient material before the Court to enable it to exercise such discretion in his favour,” she said.

Courts can quash their own judgments
Kekere-Ekun held in a matter brought by Citec Intl Estate Ltd that the most obvious condition for setting aside a judgment is fraud when the judgment is obtained by fraudulent representation to the court.

In the case of Citec Intl Estate Ltd and another against Josiah Oluwile Francis and another, Justice Kekere-Ekun states the exceptions as follows:

“The Supreme Court and any other superior court of record possess inherent power to set aside their judgments in appropriate cases, including when the judgment is obtained by fraud or deceit when the court was misled into giving judgment under the mistaken belief that the parties had consented to it, or where the judgment was given in the absence of jurisdiction.”

It’s a nullity for a Court to preside over matters it lacks jurisdiction
“The settled position of the law is that the issue of jurisdiction, being so fundamental to the court’s power to adjudicate, can be raised at any stage of the proceedings, even before this court. It can be raised orally. It can also be raised suo motu by the court. This is because, no matter how well the proceedings are conducted or how erudite the judgment arising therefrom, it all amounts to a nullity where the court lacks jurisdiction,” Kekere-Ekun, held in the case of Buremoh versus Akande [2017].

Congratulations ma. We consider it a privilege that in our life time, our state and we the eya Yoruba stock produced both the sitting President and Chief Justice of the Federation. This is the Lord's doing and it's marvelous in our sight. We are truly humbled that we found favours before God and Nigerians.

Thank you Nigeria for believing in us. Lagos will not let you down. God is behind us all.

Yes, it would be out of place. That assumption would need a series of thorough research to validate, and would still come with too many limitations to reach any valid conclusion.

They jubilated that a financial saviour had come
