The judiciary, universally thought to be the last hope of the common man, is not exactly viewed as such in Nigeria. Based on recent and distant past events, that arm of the modern government is mostly untrustworthy, duplicitous, and shady. This very vital arm is structured to arbitrate in contentious matters. Thus, the judiciary resolves disputes, and that puts its status sacred and somewhat ecclesiastical. But it appears to have squandered that hallowed reverence.
