Judiciary reforms is long overdue. Bar and Bench has proven  to be a cog in  govt's efforts on war on corruption..  It needs to  be overhauled just as they are doing in Ghana.

It is sickening to always read how Buhari is giving orders without the deliberation of the two houses of rep. For God's sake, have we accepted to the government of the country away from  democratic govt? Is Democracy still our system of government? If Nigerian system of government has changed, please inform our teachers, from elementary school to University so they could change their teachings on Nigerian System of Government - Civics. If I may ask, why and what do we need the Houses of Reps and Senate for if the President/Executive arm of the govt single handedly makes the call and decision for every legal action as relates to the country? Buhari may mean well for the country, but it's imperative to assert that he is right now, making mockery of the Democratic System of Government. Who are his advisers? Please stop misleading him, because a stitch in time saves nine; It will really be hard to correct the malady he is creating in our system of govt. History will have it that he chose to cure eye sickness with hot pepper.
