While the Judiciary has continued to play a major role in Nigeria’s democratic journey, yet critical studies on the terrains of judicial independence remains scanty. It is against this background that this article, based on desk analysis, critically examines the health of the Judiciary in a democratizing Nigeria, through the prism of judicial independence. It notes that despite the institutional frameworks, embedded in the 1999 Constitution (as amended) to provide a well-ventilated environment for its existence, the Judiciary, even though still breathing, is still gasping for breath. It argues that this is unconnected to the internal contradictions within the Judiciary and pervasive prebendal culture, which have all interacted to shape the content and terrains of judicial independence in a democratizing Nigeria. The article concludes that as long as the Judiciary in Nigeria continues to be mired in internal contradictions from within, its journey towards achieving institutional independence would remain tortuous.
