For want of a nail in Rivers State...

"For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail".

Oh dear Rivers State, shall the above rhyme remind us of thee come May 29?

Thy brawl in thy parliament and thy slaughter of thy judiciary have brought thee this ignominious recognition.

Now we need a chief judge to swear in a new Governor but none is found.

And in cometh Adoke the law, directing or ordering Bayelsa chief judge to proceed into a different jurisdiction an act to perform.

And I ask Adoke the law, 'quo warranto?'

Should such order not have come from the National Judicial Council (NJC) or the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) rather than from a partisan law officer?

Hmm...the very thing the loss of a nail can cause, all because we cared less for the city though we claim otherwise...
