It is indeed a great pity that Nigeria of all country had to lose out of the ICC elections for six vacant post of Judges which took place on Tuesday, January 20 2009 in New York.
Yes it is true that the candidate for Nigeria during the election in person of the honourable barrister Chile Eboe Osuji who is presently the head of chamber of the International Criminal Tribunal on Rwanda based in Tanzania is a renowned scholar of international law and well respected but that does not mean he is the right candiate for the job.
I think it is high time the Nigerian government start mixing fresh faces for position in the internationalarena and I believe we lost that election due to the present state of our image as a highly corrupt nation with the Harllebuton and Siemens bribery scandal and not so good human right record.
