Justice Tanko Muhammad: No Water to Bathe?
My people, during the week, it was gathered that 14 Supreme Court Justices wrote to the Chief Justice of the Nigeria (CJN), Justice Tanko Muhammad. The letter was historic because Lord Lugard’s wife, after a satisfying time in the other room, gave us our name as Nigeria has this kind of thing happen. The justices said they are living like we live in Shomolu. No power, no water to bathe and they are even driving tokunbo cars which will be overheating. They said they have never had it so bad. Even my egbon, Dr Abati follow put mouth. So, you can see that some of these highly respected justices will not be bathing and go and sit down and be passing landmark judgments. Some will be dry-cleaning sef. You know dry-cleaning is when you soak water in a handkerchief and wash your face and legs and armpits, when water no dey. So, as I am writing, the CJN has
responded. Through his aide, he just slammed the whole thing. Two of you have died and the money we paid was not budgeted, he countered. What else can we say but that you people should be regulating how you die o. Have a timetable or something so that it will be easy to plan for. So that we do not spend money that has not been budgeted. Well, he also added that the Supreme Court is also not existing outside its immediate environment. That a budget that was cut at N300 per liter for diesel is now selling at N700 per litre. Do you people want the CJN to go and be driving a tanker so that you can be happy? Me, I don’t like people who will just sit down and be writing letters to embarrass people I like. Can’t they see that he has even repaired the roof of the courts? Is it his fault that just like that they appointed eight new justices, where do you people want him to see money to build new chambers for this Buhari economy? My thinking is that as my oga once advised me, that you cannot have one source of income. If this Supreme Court thing is not delivering the dividends, I think you guys should start looking at side hustle and leave my brother Tanko alone. You can start appearing in musical videos or even turn to football commentary or anything abeg. This thing you are all complaining about is small compared to what we are facing generally so make una let us rest abeg or even migrate to Canada sef. (Every time Bubu travels, me I dey fear say himself don migrate, with the way everybody is running away). Brother Tanko is trying. He cannot kill himself because he is now CJN at this time when things are just going awry in this country. God bless our judges but much more importantly God bless the ordinary Nigerian.
