In future those who want such will have to go to Abuja.

I didn't care if it had the stamp of Ojukwu on it as long as it would be acceptable by the US Embassy and they (US Embassy) said it would and it was.

It has been accepted also by various US government agencies here and also by USCIS as she is now a naturalized citizen. I forgot hwo much it cost but it was negligible.

The background to this is known to true Lagosians

Many people wrongly assume that Lagos State was the former Federal Capital . NOT SO


Lagos City was the capital of Nigeria. Not Lagos State .

SO what is Lagos City?

First remember we have Ondo town,Sokoto,Enugu,Kano,Kaduna,Bauchi,Oyo all named after their states.

Lagos City existed before Lagos State was created and is essentially Lagos Island Victoria Island Ikoyi and Lagos Mainland up to Idi Oro . The rest of the state was in the Western Region while Lagos City was the FCT and had Ministers just like today one of whom was the father of President Yar'adua.
So when Lagos State was created in 1967 Lagos city remained as Federal Capital and eventually Ikeja was settled as State Capital
Ikeja ,Ikorodu Badagry and Epe were not part of the FCT they were in the Western Region under Awolowo who capitalized on the closeness to the port to develop Ikeja as an industrial hub. They were removed from the Western Region in 1967 and added to Lagos City to form Lagos State

It was normal for the FG to have marriage registries within the FCT i.e Lagos City not the entire state.

Now Lagos City is no longer the capital this is not neeeded.

That should expplain why this case is peculiar to Lagos state alone

This is Lagos kicking the government out of town.

The FG does not conduct mariages anyywhere else apart from Abuja

Thank you.
I have always explained this to my friends, but a whole lot of Nigerians are just too lazy to study and research, hence they pay unfairly for their ignorance.

Thank God I don do mine since January 12 best day ever. Love u sweetheart.

Local government issue certificates only, which is even illegal and unconstitutional before now

When you don't know and you are been taught, be patient enough to learn.
What do you know about the constitution?

After Church wedding is it possible for one to get the court certificate. If it's possible how do we go about it.

Gabriel411:
I hope the FG appeals, Ikoyi registry has done well in registering marriages, you don't want the process abused. Imagine if local government offices starts registering marriages, that's absurd.

Absurd you say,local govt.has always been in the business of registering marriages for so long

Got you, were you expecting Christian folami. Funny people.

It has no limitations to me, NONE.

It is a valid government-issued document and is accepted by international organizations. My Wife is here with me here in the US based on that document.

Don't mind them. It is lack of knowledge or call it ignorance. The least local Govt here in Ibadan register marriages and its valid anywhere in the world.

The mentality of Ikoyi registry has corrupted people's mind they forgot no limit apply to other registries.

ofcourse, as a matter of fact the certificates they issue come from Abuja. I didn't go to registry cos my church is registered and have the power to issue certificates. I only go to local Gov secretariat to file notice of marriage for 3 weeks.

Adayoung:

If your church is registered you will get the same certificate from Local Govt. But not all Churches are registered with Govt to conduct marriages hence you will need to go to registry.

Its the same certificate i have too but different local govt.

Many local government offices register marriages in Lagos, and the unions are valid by law. Or you think the thousands of weddings that occur monthly in Lagos is conducted by Ikoyi registry? Infact, only a small fraction is conducted there.
Most people that use Ikoyi do it for visa purposes as some believe the only recognised registry by the US consulate is Ikoyi but na lie .

abeg make they never close ikoyi registry ooo, all my friends don get married for there and na only me remain ooo. I wan carry my babe there when money don rest make me sef pose for there, I no go like to dey see Iyana ipaja, abule egba registry for my back ground pictures

The judgment passed became binding as of the moment it was given, it cannot be backdated. Marriages registered there remains valid by law since it was recognized by it until now.

My bad

Nothing is impossible in nigeria

This is what I have been trying to see since.

That's where I got married oo...... does that mean I'm single

Koolking:
Does it mean all the marriages conducted in Ikoyi registry are null and void? If this is tenable, we will have a lot of common law couples

don't mind the mongers of false news, the declaration is that LG registry weddings are now to be valid just like the ikoyi registry.
ikoyi registry is still valid not nullified. It used to be autonomous, now the LGs are valid as well to conduct marriages.

read the article for yourself and do not give in to false interpretation of news.

Apina:

marriages in ikoyi registry are still valid, as well as LG registries now declared valid... get it?

the issue has been that ikoyi federal registry had autonomy for valid marriage certificates, now the LG's are valid too.
