Education / Re: Since When Did Nigerian Law School Bar Finals Turn Waec? by jayjagz: 3:21pm On Oct 19, 2014 |
Nickydrake:I'm sorry o. I don't want you to be offended but what you said didn't make any sense to me; not even a letter not to talk of a sentence. Without prejudice to the fact that laziness has eaten deep into our generation, are students who wrote the exam one, two, three...years ago not part of this generation? In fact, I stand to be corrected, this set of student might be better than a particular year. Is it not the same set of universities producing law students that produced them? Why is it that this occurred immediately the new DG took over? Evidence even showed that the man had threatened them earlier. Have you read other posts about the incidents in which some people lamented that some of their roommates and friends who read for about 12hours everyday also failed? We are not saying students should not take responsibility for their failure but the point is that this particular result is questionable. Also, your sentences are too fallacious to be considered as a comment on a post like this and I strongly believe you must have spoken from an utmost level of ignorance. And I have every reason to believe, if you had been part of the candidates, you would not have been better. Once again[b], YOUR COMMENT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME.[/b] NB: read Blackbeauty's comment. That's a good example of comment by an intellectual. Not that you just come here and pour down rubbish #Gbam!, like tipper. |

aboyaji:Abegi! For me to think like this is mediocre because if the intelligent is truly intelligent, if given a car, she will sell it and buy a land as well as the laptop you claimed will give her the opportunity to read more. Be that as it may, what do we make of ultimate search, BBA etc rewarding with millions while winners of quiz competitions are given a meagre amount? Don't get it twisted! The fact is that our "leaders" are not celebrating education in anyway. |

majekdom2:I've mentioned it earlier on, statutory marriage does not guarantee a monogamous marital union. Under a survey conducted by Aguda in Lagos Area alone. Out of 120 men married under the Act, 22 agreed that they have other wives outside and the hand of the law has not caught up with them. But isn't it better to be on the safer side? 2 Likes |

ArtistA:This is another very good question. I salute your sagacity. There is something called double-deck marriage. This is when a monogamous marriage is superimposed on a potentially polygamous marriage. In Nigeria, it is common for couples to undergo traditional wedding, in order to be recognised in the community as husband and wife. They later go to the Registry to contract a statutory marriage under the Act. The question is this: "which one supersedes?". Actually, there are two theories on this namely the co-existence theory and the conversion theory. The co-existence theorist believe that the two marriages exist side by side why the conversion theory believes the court marriage converts the traditional marriage into a monogamous marriage. It must, however, be noted that the theory that has been upheld in Nigeria is the conversion theory. In short, the statutory marriage supersedes the customary law marriage. 1 Like |

majekdom2:We are not disputing the fact that not everyone wants the so-called court marriage. Our point is that most women don't want a polygamous marriage and men take advantage of them because they think by going to church alone and all prohibits the man from marrying another wife. If you know you want a polygamous marriage and your wife-to-be wants a monogamous marriage, then you should marry her instead of hiding under the pretence of "we will go to church" when you know it's still the same thing. As regards the fact that some other marriages last more than statutory marriage, I won't want us to be fallacious by digressing. The point is that woman should be on the safer side by going through a statutory marriage and they should ensure that all the formalities are carried out so that they won't be decieved. Thank you. 1 Like |

majekdom2:That is why we have the Legal Aid Council, NGOs especially those for women like the Women's law Clinic at University of Ibadan etc and some lawyers are ready to do pro bono if the wife has a good case. Although I'm not encouraging aiding their husband's death but you too see what you typed "cheats". I repeat, "we" Men are the major cause of this problem and we only put up useless defence mechanisms. 1 Like |

majekdom2:that is a very good question. I raised the question as well in one of my papers in that the law seems to be a decoration. But the question is this: "how many woman have claimed their right in court?" like you said, they believe in long suffering and pain endurance. The court is not a father Christmas and obviously, everyday is not christmas. Therefore, you can't be given what you've not asked for. Concerning inheritance, I believe "we" men are just being unreasonable because the issue of inheritance is also an effect of marriage; if you know you don't want a woman to inherit your property then don't marry her. It's as simple as that but it's visible even to the blind that most men just want to play on the woman's intelligence, use her and go searching for a fresh meat. I stand to be corrected, over 90% of marital problems are caused by men!!! We just use the issue of property or inheritance as a cover-up. 2 Likes 4 Shares |

Sweetlemon:I think I need to make some things clear here. It may seem long but it's very helpful, ignorance of the law is not an excuse. There are two types of marriage recognised under the Nigerian law. Statutory Marriage(popularly called Court Marriage) and Customary Marriage( Islamic marriage is sometimes categorised as customary marriage). Customary marriage is a marriage according to the native law and custom; for it to be valid, it requires the payment of bride price and the handing over of the bride to the groom's family among other things. It is potentially polygamous and that's why the man can marry more than one wife but it is valid and recognised under the Nigerian law. Thus, anybody validly married under customary law(traditional wedding), cannot contract a valid statutory marriage(court marriage) but the man can marry another woman. On the other hand, Statutory marriage is a marriage according to the Marriage Act. It is the union for life of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others during the subsistence of the marriage. Marrying another wife when married to a person under the statute attracts a punishment of 5years imprisonment. A statutory marriage can be conducted in a Registry, a Licensed place of worship( a church authorised by government for court wedding) or a place stated in a special licence. It is very important to note that mere church blessing does not constitute a Valid statutory marriage(court marriage) nor does it add anything to an existing civil marriage. Therefore, all the preliminaries to the statutory marriage must be done such as giving notice of marriage(publication of banns), obtaining registrar's certificate or special license etc. In other words, the fact that a couple just went to church and the pastor prayed for them does not mean the man cannot marry another wife(i.e ordinary going to church is not tantamount to statutory marriage). The woman must ensure that all the necessary formalities are carried out. However, it is a reality that statutory marriage does not guarantee a monogamous matrimonial life but don't you think it's better to be on the safer side? I would stop here for now but my advice is that it's better to consult a legal expert and conduct a statutory marriage to be on the safer side. I'm will entertain questions. 2 Likes 3 Shares |

Romance / Re: On Nigerian Women And (lack Of) Future Ambition by jayjagz: 11:53pm On Sep 22, 2014 |
safarigirl: If you're one who has stayed within the female hostel of any Nigerian University, you'll find that most of it's occupants share similar hopes and dreams- and no, it's not to excel in their chosen career paths.Another thing I know about some is that even when they see a guy that's ambitious and futuristic, why would decline. It's that dubious and mischievous guy pretending for them they want. Well, I can't blame them; most of them don't think for themselves, friends and relatives think for them and they suffer alone. |

jennylove7575: yes because the negative part is the cache of the story and its her supposed misfortune or rather testimony.... My point is, its very wrong to enter into marriage with a guy because of pressure or desperation. It is insane to spend the rest of ur life with a man u don't love. Op just talked about how she missed out on better men because of her born again looks or dressing..the clause I detest in the story is accepting the proposal of the man she didn't love out of desperation. The story is thoughtless.Well...I believe the story is best interpreted this way "don't do all these extremes so that you won't end up with a stranger" |
