Not in Nigeria

This is the case in many countries in the world
In many cases getting a SIM card implies entering a contract and under-18s cannot enter contracts without parental consent or supervision whether it be opening a bank account, renting a house or even hotel room

Nickisindigo:


18 years can't work cuz it would render some other policy null and void

1. Waiting till you turn 18 years in order to go to a higher institution
2. In other to open a bank account
3. In other to get a passport

To do this three things you need a nin, and to a get nin you need a phone number

Nigeria is using the English law system, you might have to find out provision for contractual capacity of a minor

OlujobaSamuel:

It's like you don't get it.
Using of a communication gadget is a necessity, contract under such circumstances can be entered into by a minor without the parents consent.
You might have to check for the legal basis under contract law of various jurisdiction.
If there should be a SIM loss while the child is in school, who retrieves the SIM?
If the parents are residing in another country but wants their children to imbibe the Nigerian culture, hence sending such child to a Nigerian institution, who registers the SIM?

You are asserting boldly without any evidence and then telling us to accept it.

Where did you get "Using of a communication gadget is a necessity"? And, under what "circumstances" please?

You might have to lookup what constitutes a necessity under a Contract of Necessity and tell how communication gadget isn't one.
NB: not talking about luxury gadgets which might be exempted in certain circumstances.
The question you should ask yourself is why communication, including wire communication which telephone falls under is protected by the constitution as a fundamental right.

For those quoting me without bordering to find out if their opinion is a fact or not, you can look up this screenshot. A strong opinion doesn't negate a fact, someone even mentioned earlier that a minor can't enter into a contract of employment.

Lawyer telling counsel to go and find evidence to prove lawyer's case?!?

Smh!

How can a mentally incapacitated person enter contract of any sort?

How can a mentally incapacitated person enter contract of any sort?

Is that your understanding of the word *mentally incapacitated* as put in that article? Is the mentally incapacitated referring to an insane being?
In law, minors are seen as generally mentally incapacitated, however, there are exemptions. That is the meaning of what is written there, if you are a counsel as claimed, you should know that.
Now as a counsel, tell us what meets up to be classified as a necessity in regards to a minor under contract, or you want to claim such is not in existence or in existence but not in existence in Nigeria?

I hope you read my question.

You seem to be asking me what you've been asked and failed to answer yourself!

You never saw an answer because you picked up a response in the middle of a conversation. There was a prior response before to that which answers your question.
We are just dragging what is not necessary. Are you saying owning a SIM card can't be classified as a necessity or it's not applicable in Nigeria?
What would you have defined as a necessity that is covered by a contract law in respect to a minor?
Kindly state your argument

OlujobaSamuel:

No. I have not said, "owning a SIM card can't be classified as a necessity or it's not applicable in Nigeria".

You will note I asked, 'what "circumstances" please'?

OlujobaSamuel:

I have not made claim to any argument OlujobaSamuel. I have merely asked questions to acquire more information to determine further course of discussion if any were required.

You must forgive me. If you can not show enough courtesy to answer my questions I do not understand why you'd expect any in return.

Please note that I am at, "Using of a communication gadget is a necessity". I am not fast at all.

So NCC had to make this clarification? Nigerians sha ah ah. Are we dull? This is what they meant all along.

Then you should have looked at my response which prompted your question in relation to the context I was speaking from. There was an initial answer of mine that answered that. You only came in midway through the discussion.
Anyway, thanks for your time.

Imaginary division what did you smoke? You better stop it cause even a blind man can tell Nigeria is already a divided country all thanks to those dumb mallams up north who are taking our money to fund terrorism and develop Niger republic abi that one too na lie?

Okoroawusa:

Must everything be seen from imaginary divisions for you people? I weak for una o!
Are there no under 18 youth from the south born, brought up and living in the north? Or are there no under 18 youth from the north living and working in the South?

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE??


AAAAH!!!.... THIS IS SO FUCKINGGG! GETTING ON MY NERVES!!!

Do Nigerians abroad just send their children to Nigeria without a guardian to look after the children in Nigeria?
