The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad,has warned Chief Judges and all judicial officers in the country over the granting of frivolous ex-parte orders in matters brought by politicians.
He gave the warning at a crucial closed door meeting held at the National Judicial Council, Abuja with seven Chief Judges over the granting of conflicting exparte orders within their jurisdictions.
According to him,the NJC will no longer condone any order that will ridicule and expose the country’s judiciary to public distrust.
The CJN vowed that the NJC will not hesitate to sanction any Judge found wanting in the discharge of his adjudicatory duties.
He said:”We must therefore put an end to indiscriminate granting of exparte orders, conflicting judgments or rulings occasioned by forum-shopping. Your job as head of courts is a sacred one, and it therefore includes you vicariously taking the sins of others. There must be an end to this nonsense. You shall henceforth take absolute charge in assigning cases or matters, especially political personally. We shall make example with these three Judges and never shall we condone such act”.
He cautioned the Chief Judges to avoid unnecessary assumption of jurisdiction in matters with similar subject and parties already before another court, protect the court from lawyers that are out for forum shopping and work in line with all their Judges to salvage the image of the judiciary.

We’re Bridging Knowledge Gap In Crypotocurrency – Adegunloye
Founder and Chief Executive Officer of House of Olympus Limited, Victor Louis Adegunloye has said his company is bridging the knowledge gap around the ban of cryptocurrency transactions by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
He said Nigerians are taken advantage of the ban and announcing a pilot scheme for creating a new government-backed digital currency.
He explained that the development paved way for his company to host weekly seminars to educate people on the opportunities while working on creating a tech hub to train Nigerians on financial technology and blockchain applications.
“We have trained more than 30,000 people with at least five per cent currently earning anywhere from 100 dollars to 1000 dollars a week. The Nigerian Government, through the CBN, after banning Cryptocurrency transactions through licensed banks in July, announced a pilot scheme for creating a new government-backed digital currency. This ban, I strongly believe, was because a lot of people were being taken advantage of as a result of the knowledge gap, which we as a company have bridged.
“We have 2000 active users on our platform holglobal.team, it’s all organic at the moment and we’ll be launching our dashboard within the next quarter. We also currently have users from over 60 nations across the globe, especially in African countries like Nigeria, Ghana, SA, Kenya and Uganda.
“We want people to be empowered by taking advantage of new emerging technologies.In all, the company plans for people to make money, also educating clients with knowledge and information to take advantage of opportunities in the blockchain technologies to make better financial decisions and build a better life for themselves and their families.
He added that his company has financially educated and empowered thousands of people to make money and take advantage of investment opportunities, with a catalogue of several training videos on their financial training platform holglobal.team.
