The media houses in Nigeria are playing around, and not ready to understand that what happened to Daniel Ojukwu, a Journalist locked up for conducting investigative journalism, may be the beginning of the end of media houses in Nigeria, especially those serious about journalism. Daniel Ojukwu's face should be on pages of @channelstv, @tvcnewsng, @NewsCentralTV, @galaxytv, @ARISEtv, calling on the office of the Inspector General of @PoliceNG to drop the ridiculous charge against the journalist, so that it gets the attention of the AGF and the @NGRPresident. Investigative journalism into politicians and public officials happens globally, and this is what aids accountability as a country. Some examples: MPs' Expenses Scandal (@dailytelegraph The Daily Telegraph, 2009): The Daily Telegraph obtained and published leaked parliamentary records detailing how hundreds of British Members of Parliament used taxpayer funds to claim expenses for personal items. The Pentagon Papers (@nytimes The New York Times & The Washington Post @washingtonpost, 1971) The Pandora Papers (@guardian The Guardian & BBC Panorama, 2021) And a host of others. More recently, major U.S. television networks and press organizations suspended their shared White House TV pool coverage in solidarity after President Donald Trump's administration barred journalists from CNN, MS NOW, and Politico.

Our Judges are letting incompetent Police prosecutors and other security operatives control their remand powers. These incompetent security prosecutors prosecute any Charge, whether Freedom of Speech, Investigative Journalism, Civil Matters, Boyfriend and Girlfriend matters, etc and get remand orders from judges. This is absolutely ridiculous. If the Security prosecutors and security personnels are so daft to question a matter brought before them to prosecute, our Judges should not just order the remand of anyone in those congested prisons based on the fact that a mere 2 page Charge was read to them in open court, in most cases without any Proof of evidence. Citizens are being remanded based on ridiculous charges, and we need to stand up against this. Understand the nature of the alleged crime before ordering remand. Not just to send people to prison all the time. Absolutely ridiculous.

Effective Case Management of Arbitration When I spoke at the Center for International Mediators and Arbitrators (CIMA) Summer School, on Arbitration Case Management under Institutional Rules, I addressed how effective case management is important to manage the duration and cost of arbitration. There is no universally accepted definition of “case management” in international arbitration. At its simplest, however, case management may be understood as: The process by which the arbitral tribunal and the parties, within the limits of the arbitration agreement, applicable law and institutional rules, design, direct and control the procedure by which the dispute will be resolved.
