Democracy is the best form of government everywhere in the world because it is the government of the people, it gives us lots of values and also to express our views when our rights are being denied or violated but in as much as we are practising this system, we should not forget that in order to achieve a peaceful and beautiful platform to operate this free system of government, we should clear some obstacles that may be inhibiting us from doing the right thing as specified by this beautiful system of government which we are running. It also told us that when the system is going wrong, we/the government in power should back it with force, this is the importance of democracy but it is unfortunate that some Nigerian lawyers are not aware of this fact even when an alleged corrupt individual (s) who may have ruined the economy of a country is being held and at the same time being tried by a competent court of law, still some lawyers would be protesting to have such individual (s) freed all in the name of human right just like we have seen in Nigeria. Recently some Nigerian lawyers were protesting to have some individuals in the Nigerian prison released, these lawyers are missing the point because what those individuals allegedly did in the past is more than enough to have them in detention until their cases are decided upon. Another fact is that most of these lawyers work as agents for some of those corrupt judges in Nigeria, the truth has to be told for the country to move forward and any country of the world that have a corrupt judiciary system would always lack behind. Even majority of those Nigerian lawyers protesting now knew that the judiciary is corrupt but instead of saying the truth by exposing those that are corrupt within the system, they would prefer to seal the truth from coming out which is wrong. No country of the world would succeed with such act of deceit which is being practised by some corrupt lawyers in Nigeria. Somehow the only language some of them understand perfectly well is how to enrich themselves through corrupt means, nothing more than that. Such attitude has been going on for so many years and no leader in the past as far as Nigeria is concerned has ever raised the issue until when president Buhari came to power and now you all are screaming and protesting. Honestly, these lawyers are protesting for the wrong reasons, therefore we (Viewers Corner News team) are appealing to you (lawyers) all in Nigeria to remember what you were taught before beginning the practise of this beautiful profession, you all promised to say the truth at all times. We advise Nigerian lawyers to keep to that rule and allow president Buhari and his government to carry out their duties as it should be without interference. Again we would like to remind some of those lawyers that may not be aware of what democracy told us to do when the system is being violated or has been violated, it stated that when serious violation is noticed somewhere in the democratic system, it should be backed up with force to get the system corrected and that is what president Buhari and his government are doing. Viewers Corner News and the advisory team would give lectures on this topic in our next article.
President Buhari and his government are doing what is right for the country (Nigeria), therefore we plead that Nigerian lawyers should support president Buhari and his government to put things right instead of protesting for the wrong reasons.
