My man, Tofi Una did not truly ground the legitimacy of this Tiv belief. It was not decided on the merits per se

Legitimate or not.....Adultery isn't an offence in Tiv land...finto

The order you quited does not criminalize adultery...finito

Esentially, that order allowed the Respondent to walk free from the charge of adultery...

If you are a lawyer like myself, you will understand that it is trite that what isn't expressly prohibited is permissible
Agreed this law does not criminalize the act itself as indicated from the facts of the case. Is this technical decision your basis for asserting the tribe permits adultery? How about Sugh vs State (1988) 2NWLR PT 77 475 SC? Or Ahungur vs State (2012) 12 NWLR ( PT 1313) 187 SC ?or just carrying out an empirical study yourself to find out? And no I am.no lawyer , I just happened to have been called to bar in 2005

I am from ukwani of which i ate snail knowingly and nothing happened, what you don't believe will never work for you,

Snails. Ukwuani land.

I've never eaten snails, will never knowingly eat them. If one unknowingly eats them, you're supposed to induce vomiting. If you can't, you're to go for ceremonial cleansing.

If you actually read that case of Tofi v Uba, you will understand that the ordinance was juxtaposed with the part of section 36 CFRN which prohibits a person from being tried much less convicted for an offence not stipulated in a written law...

Good Sir, criminal laws are by their nature prohibitive, not permissive...it is trite that anything not expressly prohibited is permitted...

Sir your lead post said this is a permissible action for this tribe and I will argue that this is a sweeping statement that holds no basis. You have singled out one tribe in your assertion based on a case of an individual..rightly the law cited: section 33 1979 constitution now equivalent of section 36 does not criminalize this action. Does this then not mean that same section is applicable to all other tribes in Nigeria, particularly seeing the fact that the ordinance cited is no longer law in Benue? After all you are making this sweeping statement in 2020 here

I never said Adultery is permitted everywhere...just among the TIV...I Don't know where you got that Sir...

And yes...that ordinance is still in place in Benue...ols do well to show proof of it repealed as you allege..

Adultery is still not an offence among the TIV...#fact

Which fact are you mentioning sir. I am.not even Tiv but I have taken the time to study that allegation and I have found it to be false. Maybe you can let me know where this " fact " is . Empirical study ? You are Tiv yourself ? Beer parlor rumours? Hearsay? Oh to the ordinance unfortunately I dont live in Nigeria at the moment so I am.not in a.position to show you.

Chopping another man's wife is a taboo in my village ...''chopping" as in ''fvcking"....

But i understand that in some parts of Benue State, men give out their wives and daughters as Kola to visitors shocked...as in if you are spending the night in his house, he can delegate one of his wives or daughters to keep you in satisfactory coital company overnight....

Point is....one man's meat is another man's poison cool

I have been getting some mentions telling me the Benue tradition I stated above isn't true...sad

Up till tomorrow, adultery is not prohibited among the Tivi tribe in Benue State..there, you cannot be convicted for knacking someone's wife...

If you think I am lying, please find and read the cases of Apiko V Ikogi and Tofi v Uba, the latter having been decided by the Nigerian Court of Appeal..

For ease of reference, here are the cases' Court citations:

I don't eat:

Dog
Reasons:
Grew up in a Muslim home.
I also don't eat salted ram, hated those from the plenty Ileyas growing up. I don't like catfish anything, tasted bushmeat recently, found out I didn't really like the gamey taste of the meat, will rather not try it again.

Sir, if you are truly a lawyer like you allege, you will understand that my allegation of fact is based on a Tiv Ordinance already judicially recognized by Nigerian Courts...So I have nothing else to prove to you

Since you are alleging that the said ordinance has been repealed, it is for you to back up your claim with facts...if you are a lawyer, you will also know that the Evidence Act provides that he who asserts must prove...you are the one asserting that adultery is now an offence in Tiv Land, the Ordinance having been repealed... it's up to you to prove that...

This is very basic law..at least in Nigeria...if you cant appreciate this, then you are on your own Sir
