Monday, June 6, 2016, I at once wished I am an English Teacher. I would have tasked my students, the next day to write an essay on topic: ‘The Day I Saw an Unjust Judge’. Trust me, I already have in my hand, a  scanty, disjointed, untyped and ill-arranged judgement paper  that would be my ideal marking guide.

Honestly, I had always thought the work of a judge is a cerebral thing. But I now know better, that even I can be a judge too. Even if my brain is porous, even if I am idiotic. I don’t even need to go to school. I don’t need to know how to write, someone can always write my judgement for me and bring it to me at the gate of the court on judgement day. I only have to know how to read a little. Fluency is not important, after all I don’t have to be coherent or read aloud.

I can now be a judge, because I have no more need to read the law books, law reports, journals and reference book to determine a case. Yes, after all merit is no more a necessity in judgement. I can always sleep off when lawyers are defending their cases. Yes, I don’t need their submissions. I already know where I am going.

The happiest thing now is that, I don’t even need a conscience to be a judge. Even when my conscience begin to prick me and make me shiver, I can always lie to the public that I have fever or better still ‘lakuregbe’.

I can now be a judge, All I need is a goggle that can cover my eyelids and make me shameless. I also need to be conversant with figure to be able to determine the highest bidder.

It is easy to be judge, I have no need to fear God, neither have I need to regard men. My job is to do the bidding of the wife of Oga at the top.

The bible says in Luke 18:1-2  ‘

Luke  18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;

18:2 Saying, There was in a city (Abuja) a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:

Please, tell me the name of the Judge.
