Igbere TV reports that the court presided over by Justice D. E. Osiagor, also held that only the local government marriage registries are empowered to do such by the provisions of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

He submitted that the conduct of marriages and issuance of certificates were statutorily the job of the local governments as provided by the law.

The judge added that the acts of the federal government through the Ministry of Interior, operating marriage registries was beyond their powers and all marriages conducted by federal marriage registries or through their agents were illegal and invalid.

And to think it was the most recognised for japa things

That ruling is nothing but judicial rascality. The judge loses nothing by saying that effective from the day of ruling that any marriage done at Ikoyi Registry is null and void.

In any case, I am sure a stay of execution will be secured while an appeal is pursued very shortly.

If in a reasonable society, those affected will sue ikoyi magistrate court and huge damages will be awarded to them. But here, they’re still going to challenge the decision that it’s their right to conduct it in the first place. Nigeria, the giant of Africa indeed

Why is the Judiciary just saying this!!!!!!!!

This is Nigeria. Everything is fvck3d.

Damnnn niggar

This is a simple problem.

All federal mariages already conducted should be ractified by local governments. A grace period should be given.

The sooner it's done, the better. This can give 2nd wives and concubines the opportunity to usurp the 1st wife by conducting a local government registered wedding during this limbo stage.

This country no just follow. Make una Catch cruise jare
