The Supreme Say

When the battles rage
it is obscene
When their lordships sit
it is serene
Jungle, the one
Justice, the other

You may rage, fight
or kite
No matter
I may cage, slight
or spike
No matter
Jungle, the all
Justice at odds

All rise!
Once in court
it's courtesy and cut
All matter
C-o-u-r-t!
A judge be a judge
and the judge
Big matter
Jungle no more
Justice da more

In the journey thus on
no stops
much hops
bounce ye all the way
Jungle way down
Justice ya way
Tough matter
As you seek, if you seek
mind how you go
As you grope, all in groan
find thee da way
Grave matter

Stay, come sun
Pray, come rain
The temple so sought
is home and tomb
Clean matter
As ya journey winds
and twists
there be a final gate of faith
holding da fate
of all gates:
The inner sanctum
and saner spectrum
of all...
The Supreme Court
Pray silence
Shrine of Shrines
Grove of Groves
Stay silent
High Temple so ample
Justice alas, Justice at last

All rise!
Be stay risen...in awe
By its word be all call
For its sword be so tall
All rise!
Be stay risen...in awe
By its way may we play
In its say be the stay
C-O-U-R-T!

Our democracy will lift and leap in leaps and bounds when we play by the rules, embrace due process, respect the rule of law, and obey the courts. Our political class, led by the executive branch of government, have not behaved well in this regard. It was the reason why the Nigerian Bar Association went on a Warning Strike not long ago. In that unprecedented act, Nigeria was so badly portrayed as a nation with lawless leaders! Big shame.

Kudos to the president for proclaiming that the federal government will promptly enforce the latest Supreme Court judgment....on the despicable Ladoja Impeachment saga.

Knocks on the pro-impeachment merchants in PDP Oyo State for so blatantly challenging the Supreme Court ruling, and declaring their determination NOT to obey and comply.

Curiosity worldwide as to how our nation can be this degenerate that our courts have become so disrespected within the ruling class, even as we rush around the globe seeking direct foreign investments! Who will go to a lawless country???

Dear President, your image and integrity are at stake......please, redeem both! Fast.

Do so in Oyo, in Ekiti, in Plateau, in Lagos, and in Anambra.

May God guide you, amen.
