judgedredd22:


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.

No that is wrong

Ikoyi registry has to close unless they appeal

judgedredd22:


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.

You don't seem to understand the narrative and the legal implication of the Federal High court decision. The court declared 'unconstitutional' the act of the Ikoyi registry, and therefore (to my understanding of legal decisions) means marriages conducted at the registry are unconstitutional (was never legally sanctioned and therefore never existed). I stand to be corrected though.

It's now left for the registry to go to supreme court to challenge the decision and seek further interpretation. I am watching in 3D

I think you are taking it too far in saying marriages conducted there before now are uncnstitutional.


That only applies from the timeof the judgment.There is nothing in the judgment invalidating marriages already conducted.

Ikoyi registry existed because Ikoyi was part of the FCT and thaat ended in 1991 but the new constitution came into effect in 1999 and has been under dispute until now.
So anyone wanting a FederalRegistrymarriage has to go to Abuja

NwaAmaikpe:



Nice one,
I hope this also nullifies all the marriages consummated there?

Especially Akpororo's wedding and that of Mama Kamarudeen's first daughter.

consummate kwa!!!. . conducted not consummated pls

Marriage registration falls within the jurisdiction of local government as a residual list provided by the constitution. Federal government has no business registering marriages. I have not heard in any other states of federal marriage registry. Federal government usurped that power in Lagos state. It is illegality in all ramification.

WHICH ONE DO WE BELIEVE?

lakefist:


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.

are u saying that registered churches like Catholic or Anglican's marriage certificate are valid and replace the certificates being issued by d LGAs?

Waoh, I love this forum. Its the most educative forum in Nigeria, as I speak, sorry type .

That registry is a PLC, and conduct almost 200 weddings per day usually Thursday and Friday, somebody mentioned being given a number as high as 170 something. I think that's why Lagos state is eyeing that possibility of income coming to Lagos coffers instead of FG.
