DSS and NCS Hullabaloo

Nigeria is sliding into dictatorship. Rule of law no more in practice. While we operate rule of law in theory we operate in practice despotism and totalitarian regime under the colour of democracy. The show of shame today between DSS and Correctional officers support my position.
I have always said that those in power operate political vendetta and no rule of law. Why is DSS now all over the places. Is DSS above the law of the land. In a country where rule of law holds sway the judiciary is respected and nobody is allowed to subvert judicial orders.
But in Nigeria, the judiciary is held in contempt by those who ought to be in prison. The judiciary itself has refused to assert its supremacy. When it is treated with disrespect it does nothing. When I try to understand the law I was told you should report contempt of court to the court. Try and report to the court that it’s orders are being flouted, the judiciary will fold its arms in piteous state of helplessness.

No sanctions. No consequences. King is law in Nigeria. The executive is lawless. Lawyers aid executive lawlessness. I am wondering where we are going in all of these practical destructions of democracy by political class, they still pretend to be democrats. Let me ask is Nigerian democracy indeed a democracy. I doubt. We are sliding into state of nature. The mighty is right in Nigeria. What kind of system do we operate.
