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.

I understand your point but it doesn't hold water.
People are being killed in America everyday especially through guns, what has their government done?

Brain absent.

May Musa rest in peace

Anambra is gone.

No one is crying foil that they didn't do the traditional marriage at Chioma's village 🤔

Pdlog:
Why do the governors want to control everything one including the traditional bodies in Nigeria ?

They have the constitutional backin

Abegi jare. He just come back and retire in Nigeria. What’s he globetrotting for 😒😏

Amen. The world is a dangerous place from America to Asia to Africa.

Who goes to war with a shot gun? Infact it will be suicidal facing an ak 47 armed heardsman, soldier, armed robber, policeman or security agency personal while you are holding a shotgun.
Those weapons you see there are for personal protection or atmost vigilantes.

I have to agree Dane guns and pump actions looks like a private business man at work.

I’d have said it should be donated to the NPF but maybe it should just be destroyed.

Looks like a digital picture 😄

🤔

Tell the judge how an attempted armed robbery was an intended prank.

Very sure if the prosecution are diligent, the guy is gone for life.

Bandits, ISWAP are killing their people up North
IPOB shedding innocent blood down South yet the FG plays dumb

They will pay.

Am sorry I can't help you understand further. The king of England controls the affair of city of london and its bank. This dates back to the era of the Roman empire. Do some more findings and leave Wikipedia

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️🙆‍♂️

You copied Wikipedia verbertim and you're capping 🤣🤣🤣🤣

P.S. he said I should leave Wikipedia and use what 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 People ehn.

Blaze14k:
The City of London has a special status: it has its own government, its own mayor and its own independent police force. The City of London Corporation operates from the Guildhall and is composed of the Lord Mayor of London, the Court of Aldermen and the Court of Common Council. While the Lord Mayor of London may have a fancier title – and outfit – the Mayor of London wields significantly more political power.

One of the main functions of the City of London, is representing the interests of Britain’s financial services. The City is home to the Bank of England and has traditionally been considered the financial heart of the UK.

You're absolutely wrong. See the Wikipedia picture you copied.

The city of London is the business district with the London. That is like saying the city of London is what Victoria Island is in Lagos. It is not the whole London area that has that status.

Please be honest, were you doing those things without blemishes, like no fornication, masturbation, or any other thing, contrary to God's will??.

Nobody is without flaws but I heard Oyedepo say that he told god that if he committed pre marital sex that he should be struck with leprosy, you know what I made my own vow ?

I asked that I be made childless. I was almost to be made a pastor in LFC, my zonal pastor a whom I had a very good relationship with was really pushing. i had scaled all the interview process, every one was dreaming seeing me as a pastor minus me.

I told them I read law and I have never seen myself as a pastor. I didn't follow through. Thank God for that singular decision.
