The impoverished masses getting married is a cause for concern seeing that they end up littering the country with unproductive and angry human beings. Na war ooooo!

so that justifies this power tussle between the different arms of govt? If i recall our population is not up to that of America.

Let me even ask you,whose fault is it that 98% of the country is improverished while 2% live a standard life , or na me wan build railway and power plant? Or because the country is improverished people should not move on with their lives?this is a registry where adults are getting married not child brides or something ,i dont see the how your comment relates to the issue on ground here.

And people are angry and unproductive because the environment doesn't provide much. If you want to debate on the bolded ,lets do that but justifying confusion in the arms of govt to punish the masses is rediculous.

If Okon and Uduak in Calabar wants to marry, they must find their way to Port Harcourt in River state.
Abasi, nsi woro Buhari ntem!

sometimes i do ask my self will marriage registry makes me to re marry her in the world beyond.

GistCaster:
In a new development to the disagreement between the Federal Government and some local government areas over who has the right to conduct marriages in the country, the Federal Government has published the marriage registries and places it has licensed to conduct statutory marriage across the country.

The Federal Government, through the Ministry of Interior, re-emphasised its position that it was the only tier of government permitted by the constitution to regulate and conduct marriages.

It added that formation of statutory marriages was within the exclusive legislative list and that it was the regulatory body for the conduct of statutory marriages and the issuance of marriage certificates.

On its website, the ministry named the 12 registries in 11 states. They are the Federal Marriage Registries in Ikoyi, Lagos State; Abuja, Federal Capital Territory; Benin, Edo State; Owerri, Imo State; Port Harcourt, Rivers State; Kano, Kano State; Jos, Plateau State, Enugu, Enugu; Kaduna, Kaduna; Ibadan, Oyo State; Ikeja, Lagos State, and Makurdi, Benue State.

In an advertorial titled, ‘Public notice on conduct of statutory marriage’, in a newspaper on Wednesday, the Interior Ministry said, “The attention of the Ministry of Interior has been drawn to the publication in the PUNCH Newspaper of Friday, 13th September, 2019, page 42 under the caption, ‘Marriage: Ignore FG’s directive, LGs tell organisations’.

“The Ministry of Interior is therefore constrained to issue this notice in order to properly guide the public on the issue of Statutory Marriages under the applicable law in Nigeria.”

The ministry explained further that it had the responsibility for granting licences to qualified places of worship as well as LGAs that compiled with the provisions of the Act (Sections 4(2) & (5) of the Marriage Act), adding that the ministry had the responsibility to appoint officers to serve as registrars in the Federal Marriage Registries.

The public notice added, “It is observed that the local governments have deliberately misinterpreted powers conferred on them by item 7 (1) of the Fourth Schedule of the constitution.

“For the avoidance of doubt, item 7(1) states that the functions of the Local Government include: registration of all births, deaths and marriages. This provision is clear and requires the local government councils to maintain registries to register births, deaths and marriages for record purposes and planning.”

The ministry, however, warned that any statutory marriage conducted in breach of the Marriage Act, CAP 218, Laws of the Federation 2004 would not serve the desired purpose.

v. There are many marriages in Nigeria with different marriage certificates especially in the local governments .Only the federal government is empowered by the law to produce marriage certificates. The federal government won the case in lower court and the appeal court.The federal government can delegate places of worship to conduct marriages with the certificates from the federal government. millions of Nigerians did not marry legally while other millions who married have fake certificates which cannot be tendered in any courts of law because it is not from the federal governments. We must do things properly in our country

nice and welcomed development

Why should FG be dragging marriage registry with LGs.so only 9 registry for the whole of Nigeria not even one per state.

Nature naturally balances itself out ,if you think we will end up like Japan if we in your words "stop creating more people" then you are delusional ,the population in rural areas is not much compared to urban cities yet these areas are the least developed sometimes not even a primary school in a full village.

Now, let me ask you these questions

-do you think discouraging marriage is what will aid population control?

-Why is America more developed than Nigeria even with a population almost twice as ours?

And they decided to name only 11 centers for a country of 200 million people, so if someone from delta wants to get married, the person will have to travel to edo. Does That make sense to you?
Keep defending rubbish

How much does it cost to register a marriage in any of this centres?

Just one center in states,this is just not fair to the masses in terms of convenience.

Imagine having to travel three hours to get to registry within your state lets not even talk of states where you don't have federal marriage registry at all

imagine oo not even a single state from North East

Hiss's unserious government

You started your response well but you ended it on a disappointing note...Learn how to ask questions before you reach conclusion as an informed person.Nobody knows everything. On marriage matter The federal government has federal marriage registries in the country like the one in Ikoyi Lagos.However thousands of places of worship have been licensed too for statutory marriage.The places of worship issue same certificate from the federal government..Any interested worship center should apply to the federal ministry of Interior too. Nigerians should follow the law not Short Cut every day.If statutory marriage is difficult traditional marriage is also tenable under the Nigerian constitution.This must have clarified your hasty conclusion if you care to know .

capitalzero:


There are two types of marriage recognized by law in Nigeria -customary/traditional and court/registry/statutory marriage. Local govt, places of worship can be licenced by fg to conduct statutory marriage. traditional marriage need to be registered by local government and evidence of registration is given to couple. customary court can dissolve traditional marriage while high court can dissolve statutory marriage.

Where can a marriage registered by a local govt be dissolved

All those zombies that voted for APC e nor go better for una. Why is APC at par with progress? 12 places? When we have 200million Nigerians. Assuming 10million Nigerians are eligible for marriage Nationwide, how can 12 places manage them. Me I nor fit talk. The other day CBN governor said it's good border was closed.emplhasing that it will force people to face agriculture. How many of his kids are farming? Yeye apc. Them nor even deserve my capital letters

Iscoalarcon:

Only a wicked evil person will not see anything wrong in this.Its just absurd that only 11 centeres across the entire country just because some bunch of incompetent power hungry faction of less than 0.001 % of our population decide to show dominance of who is boss.smh

And you think everyone is religious? There are people like me who prefer to skip the shenanigans of church weddings and go to registry.

Why una too dull for this country? Those 12 centers are the FG centers.

The summary of what you just read now, if you actually read and understand is that local govts ati churches derive their rights to conduct marriages from the FG.
So your local council will still conduct the marriage registry as long as they're following the regulatory guidelines.
