NBA President labels judges, lawyers worst bribe-takers, calls for judicial reforms
Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), has accused members of the judiciary and legal profession of being the most corrupt Nigerians, asserting that many judgments in the country now depend more on the “fatness of envelopes” than on evidence.
Speaking on Friday at the Ralph Opara Memorial Lecture organized by the National Association of Seadogs in Enugu, themed “Judicial Corruption in Nigeria: A Menace to Democracy and Social Justice,” Osigwe described the situation as a “moral crisis and a democratic emergency” that threatens the foundation of Nigeria.

In an age where online platforms are often used to divide and spread harmful stereotypes, creating a moment where thousands of people simultaneously push a positive, unifying message has significant impact. The Tweetstorm on October 17th aims to trend at #1, amplifying a wave of hope, awareness, and solidarity. This visibility does not exist in isolation, it serves as a bridge that drives people to our patners ongoing education programmes and resources.
In times of violent conflict and massive flooding, realities faced by many in Nigeria, mental health support is not a luxury; it’s a lifeline. Displacement, loss, & uncertainty can leave deep psychological wounds that require care and attention.

NATIONAL CAMPAIGN AGAINST DRUG ABUSE & HOMELESSNESS
Nigeria faces a dual and escalating crisis of widespread drug abuse and growing homelessness, particularly among young people and vulnerable populations. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) reports that 14.4% of Nigerians (14.3 million people) aged 15–64 have used psychoactive substances, well above the global average of 5.6%.
Meanwhile, urban centres like Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Kano have seen a sharp rise in street-dwelling youths, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and the urban homeless, with limited access to shelter, rehabilitation, or mental health services.
Homelessness, driven by rapid urbanization, economic hardship, and insurgency, affects millions and exposes individuals to further abuse, hardship and stress-induced mental health conditions.
This campaign, themed “Pathways to Dignity”, will go beyond statistics to confront the human realities behind these crises, shifting public perception from stigma to support. By fostering empathy and understanding, we aim to build a more supportive environment for rehabilitation, recovery, and reintegration.
Combating drug abuse and homelessness also requires a national dialogue on socio- political accountability and citizens' welfare. The campaign seeks to catalyse that dialogue, demanding action from government and urging private organizations to fulfil their corporate social responsibility (CSR) in addressing these pressing issues.
The campaign aligns with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including:
· SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-being
· SDG 1 – No Poverty
· SDG 10 – Reduced Inequalities
· SDG 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities
· SDG 16 – Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
Join us on Saturday, October 4th, 2025 to address this escalating crisis in Nigeria.
For decades, the Pyrates Confraternity has stood at the forefront of Nigeria’s sociopolitical transformation - championing the rights of the disadvantaged and challenging oppressive regimes. From resisting military dictatorships in the 70s, 80s, and 90s to shaping democratic ideals today, we remain unwavering in our mission.
The struggle continues.
Are you motivated enough to #JoinHandsWithLikeMinds and be part of the legacy?

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
Our Youths Are Dying - One Hit at a Time.
At our just-concluded 49th Annual Konverge, we delivered a clear, urgent, and unified message: Nigeria is in the grip of a DRUG ABUSE CRISIS, and we must act now!
We stand firm, united, and unapologetically committed against this scourge destroying the future of Nigerian youths. We call on all stakeholders -
parents, schools, religious bodies and CSOs, government and policy makers, the media, and the country at large, to JOIN US, SPEAK UP, and TAKE ACTION!
Drugs don't empower - they enslave.
Addiction isn't rebellion - it's bondage.
This is not a trend - it's a trap.
The youths are the custodians of Nigeria’s future, and the future will NOT be lost to substance abuse.
