Is Buhari above the laws of the land? If he disagrees with the court order, doesn't he know how to file an appeal? African leaders are just so stupid.

I think, the Nigeria case will serve as a warning to other African nations, governance is for active brains, civil servants go on retirement around 60 or 65, simply because, they have come to the climax of their active years, but a whole nation can be trusted into the hands of a 70- plus yr old to handle....no wonder, the kind of results we are getting

Sympathies of this Cardinal lies. But running a church is not akin to steering the affairs of an entire nation!
On the balance of probabilities, I will commend the Nigerian President for working tireless to recoup billions of public funds that had been 'spirited' away from that country's national coffers.
He[the Cardinal] should be bold enough to openly declare his support for subversive elements working to break up the country!
We should all be weary of these so-called vocal champions of the ' RULE OF LAW',(DEMOCRACY),who are using this worn-out cliché,as a convenient cover to support saboteurs and nation-wreckers who seek to undermine the unity of the nation.

Laws? Even the dictators use laws to effect their orders. Kings or military governments have their own laws. Gaddafi government was giving free acomodations, yet did not mess with his laws like no prostitution, stealing and gay lifestyles. Foreigners without wives had to vacation on weekends in Malta for pussy. I know something.

If the law executioner is not obeying the same laws, how does he expect others, hence, he might be democratic operating in Dictators mode or means. Dr. Kwame Nkrumah was elected president, and saw the need to use dictatorial modes to settle some difficulties. USA after 9/11 was operating in dictatorial ways to the extend of ruling almost the whole world in dictatorship.

Law. His problem with the law men was about the law men using laws cruelly, wickedly, while they themselves by their cruell ways abused or breahed the laws. Strict laws refuses grace and mercy that the creator God had extended on us human beings throughout our lives, since we were able to seek Salvation way, truth and the lives of the New Testament. If only we have!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Ments into love, by adding grace and mercy to it for a better understanding to the jews. Taking or seeking Salvation brought the ten commandments into scriptures, instead of making the law to stay by itself. He admonished His followers to obey them. Thy shall not fornicate, 11th commandment. I wonder how some religious men think, when they say it, it is true, but others like me says it, it is not true. There are too much of this thinking in USA. Hmmmm.

Buhari is setting a bad a example by disregarding court orders demanding the release of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu. He cannot choose which laws to obey. This sort of intransigence is the trait often exhibited by the typical African bigmen who have no respect for the law.

All Igbos must relegate Civil War to History. That requires that they use the Biafran War as a source of lessons to move together with the rest of Nigeria.

Having said that, it behooves the other parts of Nigeria, especially, the Northern Parts, to exercise restraint in any urges to claim supremacy because they and the rest of Nigeria won the War.

It is always tempting for a victorious side in a Civil War to impose on and subjugate the other side. But the wisest thing to do is to encourage the losing side to feel more part of the whole.

Any efforts of isolating, discriminating or cheating the losing side in the share of National opportunities like infrastructure would be both morally and politically wrong.

The leaders of the Igbo folks therefore ought to use the Court system more often to seek prompt redress of issues long overlooked by the Central Government, rather than taking to the streets and threaten violence. Such is what led to the Biafran War. And I do not wish that on the younger generation ever again.

Losing a Civil war does not mean losing any of the Citizen's rights to the National cake. So, both Buhari and the Cardinal must tread carefully not to give any side the impetus to deepen any suspicions and irritations between the two sides.

I hope the Cardinal would rather appeal to the President in a more ecclesiastical manner than blatantly insulting the President. Being a Priest does not confer any special rights on one to so crudely confront the President. If the President disobeyed the Courts, and the Judiciary does not seem to have the clout and legal force to get him to comply, the third Arm of the Government, the Parliament (Congress) ought to be employed to break the stalemate.

If the Parliament rules as the Court did and the President still thumbs his nose at the Nation, then he could be processed for impeachment.

But for, now, calm ought to be encouraged for heads to confer with one another.

Long Live Nigeria!!

Long Live Ghana!!!
