The case now is like that of Tinubu Versus Atiku...😭😭😭 Or Buhari Vs Atiku...😭😭😭 Aha you’re republican 🤔😄 that’s a first, most Nigerians usually are dems. Pence would have really made an awesome president, i really loved his demeanour as VP. Bliken on the other hard seems like an extreme hardliner lol. Well I’m hoping Trump wins though 🙏 |

Bulldozer90: we know Lagos is your UK. It's the same Lagos that a church headquarters raised to rubbles on a Sunday morning and their firemen were literally peeing at it. Stfu where’s the pictures of the rubbles? Didn’t the firefighters put out the fire at C.E? Try not to tribalise everything nwanne. Anambra is far far far far behind to Lagos in these kinds of things. |

Rather he was fixated on the border all through which happens not to be the only issue. What did you make of Joe Biden’s performance on the night and who will you be voting for come November? |

lastpage: @Liger
You've done a very good job up there! It was incisive. One line l will like to clarify/take issue with is the part l emphasized in 'red' color.
If l correctly understand, "Polygamy" is when one person is married to more than "one spouse" concurrently (Be it man or woman though its more common among men)?
Question l will like you to clarify is "How does a statutory marriage (Registry Wedding) protect a woman (most especially) against polygamy as defined above? I do understand "Bigamy", which is punishable by 5yrs imprisonment, to be when one spouse deceives and pretend to be a 'Bachelor/Spinster', i.e. unmarried and then engages in another marriage. The legal offense in Bigamy is "lying to be single, when you are married and contracting another marriage as a bachelor/spinster, under such guise.
A lot of people confuse Polygamy and Bigamy Polygamy is a culture, just like monogamy (whether true monogamy or serial monogamy as practiced in the West) while Bigamy is a statutory prohibition.
By my own understanding, whether you're married according to "Native law & Custom" or in a "Registry/Statutory marriage", you're still governed by the Nigerian constitution and l am yet to see any "section" or any Act which prohibits Polygamy in that constitution (Now, l stand to be corrected by anyone who can state the relevant section so l can be more informed) AS LONG AS THAT MARRIAGE WAS CONSUMMATED UNDER NIGERIAN LAW, IN NIGERIA.
I have seen the statutory provisions against bigamy but NOT against polygamy!
Caveat: this is not an inducement or encouragement to would-be polygamist, l am only doing this as an academic exercise so, dont get frothing in the mouth for nothing!  You cannot be married under the Act and have another husband or wife on the side. The Law is “one man one wife” Polygamy is alien to the Act and a crime. Look at the provisions of sections 46 of the Matrimonial Causes Act and 370 of the Criminal Code Act. FYI the constitution isn’t the book as were, where all the laws that guide the country is provided.
