Manners matter in court. There is no place for rascality in the judicial process. Inappropriate behaviours in court are punished.
The court is a place where civility must guide at all times. Whatever is said in court is as important as how it is said.
Whatever one wants to say in court must be said in a civil and respectful way and manner. A man must control his emotions in the alter of justice. But, as the bible says, injustice makes a man mad.
I wonder what has been gained by the much that has been revealed.
The case has been adjourned indefinitely without return date. Which is equivalent to the judge leaving the accused to rot in prison.
Legal argument is not a shouting match. Brave, courageous, fearless yes, but where is wisdom? I am just afraid that the Nnamdi Kanu versus federal Republic of Nigeria is becoming a case of the dog barks, the caravan moves on.
Nothing justifies rudeness to a judge in court. Nnamdi kanu has had his say in court, but where does it leave his case?
When a people have men without scruples who have sold their soul for filthy lucre, you get the kind of situation we have in Nigeria .
Often, we forget that method, strategy and tactics are everything.
The Nigerian government is aware that there was an IPOB which believe in peaceful agitation through political, economic and social route but was hijacked by those who believe bravado is courage and preferred intimidation, aggression and violent confrontation.
It seems the Nnamdi Kanu led IPOB has forgotten that every outcome is a function of strategy. That no one can succeed simply because he has suffered injustice when his methods are unable deliver the result. Just because one is lost does not mean that any road will take him home.
Wisdom is everything , as the good old Bible says, get wisdom, get understanding.
It is unbelievable that Nnamdi Kanu and his legal team are unaware that the Nigerian government is like any other government which can use any method to achieve the objectives of those in power, unless they are stopped by the law.
The first thing any wise person does is respect power and when confronting power, to ensure that the law is on one’s side.
No government will tolerate an insurrection that threatens its sovereignty.
Until the Biafra agitators and their lawyers demonstrate that they understand this, they will continue to focus on the knock on the child’s head and ignore the loud flatus that started the problem.
I feel what Nnamdi Kanu feels. I know what he knows about a prejudiced Nigerian system that is loaded against igbo emancipation. What I would not do is use his language and attempt his method.
Nigerian government should be under no illusion that it can continue to marginalise Igbo land, exclude Igbo land from gas pipeline project, not include Igbo land in the east west railline, deliberately downgrade air and sea ports in Igbo land, continue the military occupation of Igbo land and refuse to accord Igbo land the same consideration accorded other regions in Nigerian and expect Igbos not produce Nnamdi Kanus to fight for Biafra.
Nnamdi Kanu has suffered enough. It is cruel and inhuman to continue to detain him. The continuing abuse of the judiciary to prolong his unjust treatment is unacceptable and wrong. The lawyers and judges doing the bidding of the government in this charade should be ashamed of themselves.
This sham trial is damaging Nigeria’s judiciary and criminal justice system. Where is justice, when the government has to engage in criminal activities to bring those who it claims violent the law to justice?
Nigerian government is now dancing naked in this case and should do the only right thing, which is releasing Nnamdi Kanu to end the IPOB Biafran agitation. It is the right thing to do at this time.
It is time for Nigeria men government to release Nnamdi Kanu and pursue inclusive policy that recognised all ethnic nations of Nigeria as equals.
