judgedredd22: 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 2 Likes |

Koolking: 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 2 Likes |

aribisala0: 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. |

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. 1 Like |
