Judicial Coup D'etat In Nigeria, By Femi Aribisala - Premium Times Opinion

The upshot of all this is that it is a waste of time casting votes in any future presidential election.

At its most fundamental, the verdict institutionalises mediocrity in Nigeria. To some extent, that was the message of the presidential election. A do-nothing government that presided over Nigeria degradation to the status of the poverty capital of the world used this very deplorable credential as the springboard to declaring itself re-elected by an even greater majority than before. In effect, if the result is to be believed, Nigerians voted for government failure.

I did all this because I understood what is apparently lost on the judges of the PEPT: education is a passport to success in life. If, like me, you have been dismayed that Nigeria has not yet come near to actualizing its potential, then the news from the courts is that things are going to go from bad to worse. Just for the sake ensuring that President Buhari remains in power without having to satisfy the statutory requirement that he has a school-leaving certificate or its equivalent, the judges have declared that, henceforth, educational certificates are inconsequential in Nigeria.This is simply unacceptable.

Mohammed is supposed to be a lawyer, so you wonder where he ever heard of a litigant issuing an apology for losing a case in court. But in the headlong attempt to ingratiate himself to the president, Mohammed has apparently forgotten about his legal pedigree, in the same manner that the eminent jurists of the PEPT threw all legal reasoning out of the window.Observe the flowing. Atiku pointed out that the president committed outright perjury.

Nigeria's inflation reduces again - Premium Times NigeriaThe headline inflation reduced from 11.08 per cent in July to 11.02 per cent in August. This is a good news, a very good one. But why are Nigerians not feeling the effect ? Maybe only the leaders are feeling it 🤷🏽‍♂️🚶🏽‍♂️ Scam.. It's very simple. Once there's not as much free money in circulation, the little people see if spent wisely. That affects total sales which means sellers are forced to lower price. On the edgy side, we gain because our inflammation is more of artificial.
