Real Talk For Lawyers

Lois and Dinma continue with the discussion on the arrest of the judicial officers. In this episode, the topic of the discussion is the corruption that prevails within not only the judiciary but in all government parastatals. In light of the buzzing news of the syphoning of funds between the Chief CR and officers of the finance department in the supreme court, corruption is engrained into the very fibre of the Nigerian system and no one is held accountable, so it poses a BIG challenge and we wonder can this country be cleaned out of this disease? Lets hear your views, what can be done? how can we fight this DISEASE called  CORUPPTION? please share by placing your comments in the comment section below or by sending a mail to podcast@legalpediaonline.com Thanks for Listening!

In this episode, Lois and Dinma discuss the recent invasion of the houses of several judicial officers by officers of the State Security Service or Directorate of State Services (DSS). In the course of the said invasions, the homes of the judges were searched and some of them arrested and of course it was also reported that the search led to the discovery of huge sums of money in local and foreign currency. The argument Lois and Dinma have is, do the DSS have the statutory powers to arrest the judicial officers? what does this act imply to the judiciary? what institution is really currupt?

Unfortunately, violence against women has been part of the fabric of many societies and cultures worldwide but its so predominate here in Nigeria. It is so commonplace that it is often going unnoticed. It has also failed to earn the level of concern it deserves in light of the devastating effects on children and the family as a whole.

Lois and Dinma discuss on the continuous rise in domestic violence in Nigeria. They focus especially on kids used as house keepers who are maltreated by their employers. What is really painful and shocking is that these kids  are terribly hurt either physically, emotionally and even sexually all in the name of discipline. Its quite unfortunate these cases  un noticed and no justice is brought to these children because they have no one to turn to. They discuss different laws and policies that have been put in place to help protect the children and how they can find help.
