[quote][/quote]10 strange laws you didn’t know existed in Nigeria. 10 Strange Laws Momany Nigerians Don't Know About. No. 1 Will Shock you In every corner of the world, legal systems are shaped by cultural norms, historical legacies, and societal values, often giving rise to unique and sometimes surprising laws. Nigeria, a land of vibrant culture, rich history, and diverse traditions is no exception. These laws might make you scratch your head, chuckle, or simply wonder at the vast array of what’s considered legal (or not) across the world. So, let’s take a stroll through some of the strange laws you didn’t know existed in Nigeria. 1. Promise-and-Fail Marriage Law Nigerian law permits individuals to pursue legal action against former partners for breach of promise to marry. 2. Wife’s Immunity Under Nigerian law, there is a provision aimed at protecting wives in Christian marriages from being held criminally responsible for actions they are compelled to do by their husbands in his presence. 3. Army Green Ban The Army Colour (Prohibition of Use) Act in Nigeria prohibits the painting of private cars in the colour known as ‘army green.’ 4. Reward for Stolen Property Offering a reward for the return of stolen or lost property without asking questions or threatening seizure is deemed illegal under Nigerian law. 5. Jactitation of Marriage Ever had someone boast that they’re married to you when they’re not? In Nigeria, you can take them to court for it. This law enables individuals to protect their marital status and reputation from false assertions, safeguarding their legal rights and personal dignity. 6. Caning for Minor In Nigeria, a male person under 17 years of age found guilty of an offence may be ordered to be caned, in addition to or instead of other punishments. 7. Witchcraft Representation Representing oneself as a witch or claiming to possess the power of witchcraft is considered a misdemeanor in Nigerian law. 8. [b]Year And a Day Rule In Nigerian jurisprudence, the ‘Year and a Day Rule’ establishes a time limit for determining legal causation in cases of homicide. This rule stipulates that a person cannot be deemed responsible for causing another’s death if it occurs more than a year and a day after the initial incident, reflecting principles of fairness and practicality in legal proceedings. 9[b]. Treatment of Animals in Transit[/b] Nigerian regulations mandate the humane treatment of animals during transit, particularly when being transported for trade purposes. 10. Respect for the Flag Nigerian law requires that the national flag be displayed with dignity and respect, prohibiting its use in a faded, defaced, or otherwise improper condition. 5 Likes 2 Shares

Nigerians are really peaceful people and because of Christianity, we tend to leave everything to God. In abroad, all of these laws are observed and every court proceedings will handle one or two of these laws stated here. My first car was maza3 and it came with army green. I drove the car for a year and passed army checkpoints and I was never questioned. I changed the colour before selling it this year. I'm now using Toyota Camry. 2 Likes |

Do you know that if you are charged to court for breach of a marriage proposal? It requires only three or more witnesses to refer to the lady as your wife to convict you. Police/Court - Do you know Ebere First Neighbour - You mean Ade's wife? Police/Court - We are looking for Ebere Second Neighbour - That's Ade's wife Police/Court - We are looking for Ade's wife who sells food items. Third Neighbour - Let me go and call her, she's Aunty Ebere. You are guilty. 1 Like |

MadamExcellency: Only valid if you have started the official marriage process...especially wedding expenses and marriage rites. The law was to cover financial losses and inconvenience, not to protect you from heartbreak 💔 Heard it years ago on Coolfm midnight lounge with Maxzy |

]Year And a Day Rule In Nigerian jurisprudence, the ‘Year and a Day Rule’ establishes a time limit for determining legal causation in cases of homicide. This rule stipulates that a person cannot be deemed responsible for causing another’s death if it occurs more than a year and a day after the initial incident, reflecting principles of fairness and practicality in legal proceedings. Wise law...if someone hurt themselves due to their bad character others can not be blamed because they had issues with a person of bad character. |
