President Jonathan has nominated Justice Aloma Mariam Mukhtar as the new Chief Justice of Nigeria. If the senate approves her appointment, Justice Mukhtar, 68, will become the first woman to occupy the office.
The current Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Dahiru Musdapher, will retire on the 16th of this month.
That is interesting, i prefer her to others.

ReplyDeleteThank God for women.
ReplyDeleteWell she's the next most senior after musdapher,that's how it's done
ReplyDeleteYup!
Delete@anonymous 5:05, its not a matter of the Northerners ruling Nigeria. The law provides that the most senior (in terms of years) Justice of the Supreme Court is on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council to the President and subject to the approval of the Senate appointed the CJN.
ReplyDeleteSo no need being sentimental about it or bringing regional dimensions into the matter, and besides, nothing suggests she's a Northerner
i'm not sure who she is but okay then. :D .

ReplyDelete@ anon 9: 07pm...am not sure ur a lawyer cos u dont sound like one that went past the gates of any of the 4 law schools in Nigeria. It is irritating enough to hear that ur a self-acclaimed lawyer and ur ignorant of her, her feats and her steady rise to the apex of the judiciary and u feel it is "political masturbation" to appoint the most senior member of the bench as the CJN?? seriously mr. lawyer??? U had better remove that your self-imposed appellation (Legal Oracle) and replace with ABIJA or LUKULUKU cos ur an impostor....mscheeeew>>>Its uninformed people like you that ridicule the legal profession (if u ever graduated with LLB let alone getting a BL)....non-lawyers here are more enlightened than u...for those who talk about 68, the official retirement age of supreme court judges is 70 so she has 2 jolly years to make her mark....Wish you a successful reign Mi Lord!
ReplyDeleteHow could he put a northerner in such a position? They are anti-progress even when they are in power and especially when they are not in power, i.e., boko haram.
ReplyDelete@Libero Ʊ b better mumu,d fact dat she climbed the legal lada of d judiciary is not a yard stick for appointing her,you talk •̸Ϟk a layman not just lay,but a dolly incapax am sure u are an hausa man.any way no need †☺ exchange words with you,you ɑ̤̥̈̊я̣̣̥ε benit me. Legal oracle says so form GH
