Sanchez01:
Ikoyi is indeed a market place. You tend to see so many to-be couples waiting to be attended to and you get to see the registrars play God. This is way after they have 'taxed' you unnecessarily. The best thing to do is to have the church work on your behalf by bringing a registrar to the church. This doesn't happen with every Tom, Dick and Harry getting married in the church though. It's mostly exclusive to 'mouthed' folks in the church.

SO why stress and go to IKOYI then when you can have it done anywhere in Nigeria

TheMyth:
I hope you realize prenups can and have been overturned on numerous occasions .At the end of the day it isnt "legally binding" but up to the judge whether to adhere to it or throw it under the bus. So you are not totally safe . All the lower earning party needs to do is to claim the pre nup was signed under duress or forcibly and the judge overturns it immediately. Nigeria isn't like this yet but you better hope the judge is incorruptible if you are a billionaire

NO IT CANNOT,there was a reason for it.
Prove me wrong plz with citation.
There is a case in the US where someone is not paying child support cos it was in the prenup.

vislabraye:
Definitely !! But some people like fooling themselves.

I heard APC won, is this true?
me I pot go village till nxt wk

Bro £50.000 is not cheap, that is the least you need to have in your account before thinking about applying for tie 1 visa.

Polish people don't need to worry about that because they are not under any visa restriction.

If anyone has £50k why go Uk

Eyoh01:
court marriage? I think that is done in the local governments hqtrs. they are the one that choose the day, most in Lagos choose Thursdays they're always many ppl wedding that day so you just we'd and go I once heard court don't wed they ply dissolve marriage

I heard that IkOYI is like a mkt place, I have never been there but that must be packed.
For those of you still getting it twisted,
when you hear the word COURT and Marriage in one sentence, it usually means Marriage is over
But REGISTRY and MARRIAGE Means Marriage has just legally began.

FastShipping:
Fantastic stuff. This should cost a lot less than regular decking we do in Nigeria. It all depends on machinery to move so much of these stuff to site and crane to lift it up and set on the decking.

This makes a lot of sense than what is entail in Nigeria.

Abdulwastecx should look at this and tell us his view on something like this.

Im telling you, not only save cost but time as well,
But to hire that craine nah B the koko

gfullmoon:
Grow up sunny boy.
Alimony is also enforceable in church marriages gone sour. So if any man who married through the church should divorce his wife and leave her with lets say 3 kids, do you think the church will just tell you go your way good man, let your ex wife only take care of all the kids?

What makes marriage fail is not Tradition, church neither is it Registry wedding (what most people ignorantly call Court Wedding) but the people involved and how able they were in managing the circumstances leading up to divorce. They are men /women whom have seen 10 times what most divorcees saw and went their separate ways but are in still in their marriage and had worked their ways through such trouble waters through perseverence etc . Please note that Church /Tradition /Registry don't make marriage work, people /couple do, they can only help .

Well said.

OBAGADAFFI:
Well most Churches in Nigeria are smarter.

These Churches assist their members to the registry and they issue the Government Certificates right in the Church.

These are big Churches, like Catholic, RCCG, Methodist etc

yes that is very correct, I have seen that happen.A good friend of mine got married in one of these Big churches and two weddings where going on same time.The Registrar was in church that day.

CarrotAndStick:
He said the truth, biko. Just that court marriage in Nigeria is not too strict. In the Western world, a woman can easily run you down using court marriage as a bait. Why do you think Kanye West and Kim are living as partners and not as husband and wife even when they have kids?

cos they chose to, They might not be bothered about getting married, to them lot ,marriage do not mean a thing.Check the laws in teh US and the UK, once you have kids and have lived together for xyz numbers of years you have same right as couples who are married
Also you can chose to sign a prenup where both parties value what they have and sign an agreement to go away with such if they do go apart, so as you can see its not a big seal.

prenuptial agreement (redirected from Prenup)
Also found in: Dictionary, Financial, Wikipedia.
prenuptial agreement (antenuptial agreement)
n. a written contract between two people who are about to marry, setting out the terms of possession of assets, treatment of future earnings, control of the property of each, and potential division if the marriage is later dissolved. These agreements are fairly common if either or both parties have substantial assets, children from a prior marriage, potential inheritances, high incomes, or have been "taken" by a prior spouse. (See: antenuptial agreement)

OBAGADAFFI:
Oga, don't blame them, most people here are kids.

In the context:

Courts are for Divorce
Registry are for marriages

Irrespective of the type of marriage, all Certificates most come from the registry.

yep I guess as much, but you see them assuming all sort instead of just listening and learn from people who have been fru that system.

OBAGADAFFI:
What is the confusion here.
If had Church, Mosque, Traditional or in Court premises.

All Certificates most come from the Marriage registry.

There are Two (2) types of Marriage Registries in Nigeria

A. Federal Marriage Registries

a) LAGOS – Ikoyi Registry (covers all those resident in Lagos, South-South, South East and South West)
b) ABUJA – Wuse 2 (covers all those resident in the Northern region)

B. All States have various Registries at the State and Local Government level.

Great stuff, however churches do issue certificate .I had that issued to me at the church I got wedded in but that was not law binding as I had to go to a local registry to obtain one.My friend however arranged for teh registrar to come to church and have it signed there and then but that was for a not so busy Registrar in a quiet and small lGA.
In the Uk the church of England issues wedding certificate and teh Home office are finding it challenging not to accept it cos teh Queen is the head of teh church of England and teh registry is under her royal highness.

byvan03:
Meaning you never wedded in court . Note that bringing your parents along is not compulsory . No parental consent is needed once you are above 18 .

This is very correct, who is arguing about this

HARDDON:
Action word: cud hv......

Or they have been living together like Man &Wife,probably with kids, without performin any marriage rites.
She just moved in. Now they wiSh to straigHten tins

Exactly so nothing new.

fados4sure:
Go & ask a lawyer & don't ask me silly question

Why are you being silly,,you are here to learn and you are refusing to learn, there is no such thing as court wedding, its called Registry,this is how it is across the world, for Uk to US to Russia to south Africa.
Lawyers go to THE REGISTRY as well
I do not understand why you are finding this difficult to understand.

Maxvasia:
Only a fool still does court marriage. Court marriage is just a trap for the unsuspecting man. Mayb when he pays alimony taya and can no longer recover financially or psychologicallly from it, he will learn. Court marriage is not romantic, its sheer stupidity. Let the wise take heed. Let the stupid ones criticize.

you are l iving in the dark ages still
Advantages of Registry
#your kids are protected to all both of you own
#Anything happens to you,your wife and kids are protected
#Anything happens to her,you and kids are protected
#If you are Dangote and scared you might lose your money to your wife sign a pre-nop if spelt right.
#For legal reasons that little paper is the only thing that gives you the right to call her your wife where marriage laws are enforced.
#The world is changing and its all global, both of you might want to spend xmas in Rome, the only thing that will tell you interviewer you are both married is that marriage certificate signed by the registrar at the registry
#last but not the least. stop saying COURT MARRIAGE for crying out loud

HARDDON:
Tot i was d only one that noticed....
Maybe she is well advanced in age n dont want no publicity Stunts.

Why do i feel they wud deprive us of Our most cherished Pre Wedding Shots?

i also feel we might not see any pixs from d Trad n even d court.

Howeva it is, MAy God perfect all that concerns them

You two are missing the point
Someone could have done traditional marriage and Church wedding 25 years ago and they now want to legalize it for reasons best known to them do you now understand why she might not give out that exciting vibes you described as missing

byvan03:
Did you wed in court ?

Good question ask am again plz

gfullmoon:
People should say what they know and stop musleading or discouraging others.
So long as you are 18years and above, no parental consent is required. All that's required is two witnesses, one for yourself and one for your wife to be whom can be anybody including your friend. And as many other witnesses who will not sign as your budget can carry. Two passports each of you are required to publish your intention to be married, after 21 days and noone come around to give reason why both of you should not be married as husband and wife which few of the ground it can affect the union is if one party is still legally married as of the time of the of contracting the new one or having an undisclosed health challenge which the Petitioner thinks might affect the other party etc

The price is for Court Registry Marriage is between 10-30k depending on the Court Registry. As for your 20 guests, if you take them to a fast food joint for reception after the brief marital vow where a plate of food is #2500, 50k will take care of that. It must be on a working day Monday - Friday. Saturday and Sunday are out of it.

Legally both party are protected equally, but upon separation or divorce, property are to be shared according to each others contributions to itself emergence. Even when one party did not, a consideration is given to him/her for providing the peaceful atmosphere or psychology for its emergence. This is only applicable if one party appeal for them. Some might say they are not interested in most cases depending on what leads to the divorce. And the ground for divorce include - adultery, threat to life, undisclosed serious health challenge etc which are also probable ground for divorce in a church wedding.

Most Church issued Married Certificate is not acceptable in most Embassies unlike Registry Certificate that's acceptable everywhere.

The choice is yours. The most important thing is to study your wife character and attitude well and make sure she is a good person. If your wife is the type whose only interest is your property church wedding /traditional wedding might be a better option.

Everything you said is right however two are wrong
#The registry are opened on Saturday as a matter of fact majority of them Do Saturdays
#church certificate is not Legally binding anywhere the laws of marriage are enforced.

teetee123:
I am confused about the difference between local government registry and court weddings. Is it not the same thing? I want the legal experts to clarify this.

Its same thing, that person is confused, or their phone is on predictive text.

Janedera:
I had my two months ago
you only need a witness, anyone can be your witness.
concerning refreshments.. i bought a fanciful nylon, ordered for 3O snacks from a fastfood and drinks with chocolates... i arranged it and shared it immediately after the wedding and everyone went home from there

Thats it, most people here are just saying waht they dont know and the sad thing is they ave never attended one or done one.

friedcorn:
ok. But who will collect her bride price and is it like i will just drop any amount as bride price? Will there be need for me to get other lists as demanded by her tradition?

Lastly the traditional marriage, since nobody wants her to be with you, will u guys still perform traditional marriage ceremony?

Traditional marriage is up to both of you, teh only Marriage recognized by a state is the one you both sign a register in front of a registrar in a LGA Registry.

fados4sure:
You are wrong sir
Witness is for local government marriage registry not court marriage

Define court marriage plz.Who goes to court to get married?

UrennaNkoli:
We are thinking of going for a court marriage (registry). Please tell me the advantages and disadvantages from the male and female point of view.
Also, can I achieve these things listed below with a court wedding?

# I don't like too much crowd and noise which are common with owanbe's

# Can a little reception be allowed to hold in the court premises without prohibition?

# low Kew wedding in which after the ceremony, everyone goes back to their respective homes

# At most 15 or less number of guests. I don't want too much crowd and paparazzi

# A budget of 150k probably for snacks, cake, food and drinks.

# Time : I don't think it should take more than 5 hours and all will be over.

I brought this to the family section as I believe there are more mature minds here compared to the romance section.
Lalasticlala and farano can help move to front page so that perspectives can be broadened.

# Stop saying Court marriage as no one is going to court here
#you only need one witness each any other person is a guest
#the compulsory money you need to spend is that to pay for the registry and the photographer any other money is pocket specific
#You only need time to exchange vows and sign the register plus perform the ceremony of exchanging rings, any other time spent is up to you.
#Reception in court premises ,Again No one is going to court, you are going to you local government council registry.Some might have venues for reception which they might charge you separate or inclusive of the initial cost to marry there.
#HAPPY WEDDING

I believe we talked about using pre cast slab previously and how we can apply it in the Nigerian context.

KolaShangOne:
Sir, Making use of sharpsand was the right decision.. Sharps and setttles and leaves zero void spaces. Although I would have preferred 9 inches if I were to use solid blocks for foundation of a storey building.

I thought as much, but if you come to my Endz, we all build with 6 inch solid, no hollo, Im talking of sapele and warri, we use hollo for commercial buildings and govt projects

justwise:
That is because it's not cheap route

You might be suprised, if we go pound for pound, it might work out cheaper plus you have JOB!
Polish people do this very well on Trades ie Builders,electricians, Shops etc
I do not think it would cost more than £10K to set up a shop, waht do you think?
