The representation of "Letitia (or lady justice) is one of a blindfolded women with scales on one hand, and a sword on the other,

Is a clear depiction of the lack of bias that justice is supposed to represent

True Justice cannot differentiate between the state and the populace
She cannot tell who is a peaceful protester or who is a hoodlum

Justice cannot apportion different punishments to SARS or to Youth

Justice's sole concern is to weigh all actions according to the law.

All parties must approach the temple of justice in sincerity

Justice cannot
be used as a whip to flog your enemies

It cannot be manipulated by emotions.

Justice deals with facts.

The govt isn't the arbiter of justice. Which is why the Judicial system is meant to be independent of the executive.

Our justice system in Nigeria is deeply flawed
It is our responsibility to straighten it out

How do we do this?

We need to negotiate what type of society we want to be

We're all victims of the abysmal justice system in Nigeria

Govt & the people equally suffer from the inability of lady justice to keep her eyes blindfolded
We need to stop escaping responsibility for consequences of our actions

Crime must have its rewards

The bogeyman (govt) needs to stop being our fallguy for state dysfunction

We are the govt

She who comes into equity, must do so with clean hands

Enough with finger pointing
***Sorry the Latin name for lady justice is actually "Lustitia" and not Letitia as I wrongly posted earlier***
