Opinion
By Steve Osuji
THE justices, though they sit in judgement, are the first beneficiaries of their pronouncement, good or ill …
Should they deal blindfoldedly, allowing the scale to be tipped by facts, truth, integrity, good sense and plaindealing, the world will rejoice and all the elements in heaven and on earth shall break into songs…
Should the justices be perverse, should the throne of justice be besmeared with infamy, with corruption and graft, the world would cringe and hold it nose from the noxious odour of perfidy to waft from court and country…
The justices of perdition shall dwell on the dungs of their booty, for ever after.
Their generations shall bear the badge of blood on coats of shame…
Perverters of justice and co-conveners of her rape shall reap the winds.
Their victory shall be pyrrhic for their throne shall be a heap of seething coal…
Stolen mandate is stolen voices.
To steal a mandate is to steal the people, the country and divine sceptre…
A mandate thief is a thief most desperate.
A mandate thief would steal his own soul first.
Then he would steal anything that must be stolen
He would augment even more stealing…
He would not only steal the judiciary,
he would steal justice
He would not only steal the army,
he would steal the armoury
He would not only steal elections,
he would steal democracy
He would not only steal the constitution,
he would steal the constituents…
He would steal joy
he would still hope
he would steal harmony
he would steal the country
he would steal the people and
he would steal their souls …
But justice, one stroke of justice, would remedy everything.
Justice is never late, it can be done, even today, even now …
