Lol...if this is true, then a lot of women should be ready to marry themselves or start paying groom price. Inukwa!!
You don't the logic, many married women will easily claim their husband's state of origin to seek political position. That clause has hindereds many from contesting political position(/husband's state) in the past but now that it is amended, they now have legal right

That is it infact that is the main reason many of them were lobbying those senators. Most of the bills passed by our senators favours the elite more than the poor

This will increase Fornication in this country. Well, some of this people giving the laws must have been sampling some private property in hands of one "M U M U" called sweetheart.

So they can't seek political position if they are claiming paternal origin?

It's a very welcome progressive development, and has nothing to do with surname, feminism or submission to the husband. I guess most of the men boys here are feeling threatened because they don't really understand it.
Don’t flatter yourself: no woman, who really understands what marriage is would chose her father’s state of origin instead of her husband’s. A woman sure of her self and her place in life would willingly align with her husband. It is always the insecure ones that are eager to prove a point. Either a woman is married and act it or remain single like Oprah Winfrey.

But I think that there are better policies that needs urgent attention for amendments, why this one? Going to stay in my father's house, not a problem especially when there are justifiable reasons for that and as long as I don't become a nuisance to them. So what's the big deal?

You need to understand the reason for that law before making this type of comment. Thanks.
I eud love to know the reason for this before commenting. Can u explain better to me pls? Thanks
Re: House Of Rep' Married Women Can Now Choose Their Origin From Father Or Husband by amaks: 10:29am On May 10, 2019
I understand. It's so as to be able to give wives of politicians the ability to seek elective office in their husbands state. That's the hidden reason. Anyway all good, freedom of choice. We are all Nigerians. Advanced countries have even "abolished" state of origin "rights", good move but I don't think we're fully ready for that yet in Nigeria, the abolishing.

thank you for your clear understanding of this.
it is obvious most do know the reason for this law.
by default a woman under Nigerian system has no right what so ever from the husband state of origin.
for me my mum is deltan, my dad from ogun but my mum still sees herself as deltan due to the natural law and constitutional law of indigenization.
but with this law a Yoruba woman, an igbo woman and Hausa married to any other tribe of ethnic group is by default recognized as being part of her husband extraction.

Don’t mind them. Most persons already practice this. My mother claims her father’s village and LGA. Though I’m married, I currently claim my dad’s village and LGA.

It is a stupid law that is not well thought out .

Whatever law is made should not undermine the equality of women

Why should their state of origin be the state of their father. Why not the state of their mother

That is not progressive and is actually anti-women.

Equally it should apply to men. If a woman can claim state of origin of husbands then husbands should be able to claim state of origin of wives. So they have only thought about it superficially.

What they are saying is women are not equal to men.

The spirit behind the law is good but the details are wrong.
Also if the claim is to be by marriage it should include a residency clause. eg live in the state for 3 years.

For parents it should be automatic mother and father and that would go a long way to fostering national unity

Finally this is a constitutional matter and not something that can be effectively dealt with by a House of Reps bill because the constitution
