realstars:So the proposal is a bad idea again? Even if Buhari single handedly alleviate you from poverty, you will ask him why he can't let you suffer in peace. Well, your constant hate is what gives us reason to keep loving him 112 Likes 12 Shares

Mr.President seems to have forgotten that his govt of impunity & lawlessness both as military and civilian dictator has set the judiciary backward that judges mostly have to first look @ the powers that be before dispensing justice or give conflicting judgement. Can he recall the illegal invasion of revered supreme court judges houses in the night by the DSS in the name of fighting corruption? Many of them were acquitted. What about the illegality involved in disposing the former CJN-Justice Onneghen & enthronement of Tanko even it's know that the latter was corrupt? What about the senseless "national security supersedes the rule of law" statement? What about coercion of the judiciary to manipulate & win elections as the courts now decide winners of elections in Nigeria? This is all because of the bastardization of our electoral and democratic processes hence administration of criminal justice is very slow.Abeg make we hear word. 18 Likes 4 Shares |

olaric:It's only in Nigeria that cases lingers for years and even some completely stall without progress. The president have said the right thing and this we need to put in place for judiciary to be on top of their games. Most thorough investigations ends within 2 to 3 months of a case, lingering cases for years has already been compromised with corruption. No justice can be derived from such cases. 35 Likes 4 Shares |

But, the question is: what happens if a case is inconclusive after the 12-15 months? Will the accused be freed or simply fined? If that's the case, it'll lead to deliberate delay of cases till the allowed period expires. 1 Like |

Meanwhile it takes a day to conclude on #3000 case and less than that to sentence someone to death in Nigeria. This is indeed Muhammadu Buhari! |

Superb idea. Judges just postpone cases anyhow. They spend like fifteen minutes on one case and adjourn it to next month. You'll be like, what the hell is this nonsense. Imagine the trial of Florence Anini during the military era, it was swift and his execution was quick. But today, see Evans is still breathing despite the abundance of facts against him. You see those judges and lawyers ehn, lemme just keep quiet. Buhari really impressed me with this. olaric: Which thorough processing? Even eyewitnesses would have forgotten the details of what they saw. LadySarah: You've spoken my mind better than I could. 8 Likes |

Racoon:See ranting! Smart people understand that unconventional measures are needed to correct some people/institutions. And such measures are deployed in almost every society of the world. Go figure out. Lastly, "national security supersedes the rule of law" is a truism anywhere in the world. Go and learn boy! 14 Likes 5 Shares |

Impossible! It is ingrained in our system to use technicalities to prolong cases. I know a company that has been in court with the Corrupt Commission for 5 years! 3 judges have backed out due to the corrupt commission lawyers antics!! 1 Like |
