Although the arguments JackBizzle brings up doesnt represent a good understanding of the nature of law, I must agree with him that a legal section might turn out in some ways dangerous (especially when its used for obtaining legal advice). Unless you appoint a serious moderator (lawyer with a good reputation) who keeps an eye on the quality of the contributions.

The fact that a section for discussing laws/regulations on its own merits (among which human rights) is lacking at the moment tells us everything about the current role and place of the rule of law in the country. Everything is here about sex, business, politics or religion...which all boils down on one thing: power. Laws are meant to distribute power. So you understand why they are easily subject of manipulation.

Trust me, this is the answer. I know, highly annoying, right?

If this is true, there's no better case than for having a legal section than your first point. Nigeria has no strengthened legal system. Police and the military operate with impunity violating fundamental Human Rights and the population accepts it as normal. They pay bail money without knowing their rights and you say there is no need for a legal section? We can have a sexuality section but a legal section is not necessary?

Property owners take advantage of people who don't know their rights and we don't need a legal section?


I'm not sure how this makes sense or what point it's supposed to illustrate. At best it shows your limited understanding of the operation of the law. Cases are won by proving with evidence and backing up your position with the law. There is never a "draw" in a case. If two lawyers feel they have proof, they go to court to establish it and the judge listens to both and gives a decision one way or the other. If all lawyers agreed there would be no need for court appearances. Besides there are little instances of procedure and technicalities that are not known by the layman.

We have a pet section and a sexuality section but somehow we don't need a legal section?


Doctors, mechanics, Engineers, etc only understand their professions to a certain degree. What is clear however is that they understand it better than the layman. No point here.
We have a dating and meet up section, a pet section, a sexuality section but there's no need for a legal section?


In medicine, there's something called a second opinion. Contradictory assurances are not unheard of. Try giving your car to two mechanics and watch them contradict themselves. Law is application, and that's what the court is for: to settle issues of the law. If all lawyers agreed with each other there would be no need to go to court. You might as well settle issues in the beer parlour or family meeting. No need for judges either.

We have the whole nairaland and no legal section?

I'm not sure what you think but the legal section isn't for soliciting for clients. It's for people to come ask questions about legal issues pertaining to them and to get them solved. For instance, how many times have we seen on front page "look what I found in an unopened bottle of coke/malt/beer" etc. Go to the property section and look at people who don't know what to do to prevent being scammed by land vendors. Look at the auto section and see people being scammed by Cotonou car agents. The list goes on.

Also lawyers could hang out in the legal section and discuss their cases , seek and share advice. In the end, nairalanders would benefit.

When you come here all small minded talking about legalese, I wonder what you're on about. DeepSight, Enigma, Kay17 are all lawyers on this section. They have different styles of expressing themselves but I cannot remember anytime any sort of legalese came up in discussions. Caveats are important when arguing against people who are great at building strawmen. Caveats don't count as legalese.

I am just presenting stats and facts, why are you so hyper?

It is christianity that is a dead, defeated, destroyed thing in the Europe, U.S, and Latin Americans with no respect---a humiliated, defeated relic of the past and nobody cares about it. No one really cares about it or its teachings and sex outside of marriage, hedonism, living together without marriage, revealing clothes/bikinis, not-going to church, greed etc is mainstream culture of these lands. It has been proven by scientific studies as well that Christianity is a dead, defeated thing in majority of the "christian" world. Everybody threw christianity out of their society and countries are based on godless non-christian laws where homosexuality is legal, sex before marriage is legal, children are born out of wedlock, there is no christian values in education system, divorce is rampant, drugs are legal, and so on.

Islam on the other hand is thriving globally--even in Western world.

I don't write frustrating paragraphs like you. I back all of my claims with data, evidence, and credible sources. Look at post#6 of this thread to see how I've demonstrated by points by using credible data from world organizations such as PEW, Gallop, and so on.

And regarding your point of migrants--there are MILLIONS of Muslims already living in West--why haven't they left Islam til now? LOL

fedex01:
Most credible statistical analysis by the best independent demographic organization of the United States (and the world) reveals that Islam is the fastest growing religious force not only in the world, but it is also the fastest growing religious force in sub-Saharan Africa as well (Mashallah!).

Moreover, the data reveals that the notions of mass Muslims conversions to Christianity or mass Christian conversions to Islam are myths and non-existent. The conversions account for only 0.3% of the total religious growth in the region (including both Christianity and Islam). So that puts to rest the idiotic myths of pastors and imams about conversions.

Very detailed and authentic report by PEW once again! Kudos to such a brilliant organization for doing its job better than everybody in the world. PEW is known as the "Fact Tank" in the United States. Hopefully we have such good organizations in Nigeria as well.

Tufanja:
Please check the structure of your reasoning ... use the same structure to make empty statements about atheists...maybe that will make you see the light about what is wrong with your reasoning structures, forumwide. I expect more of you, sweetheart .

"Law is a profession" ...brilliant...never knew this

Listen to yourself.

I only answered your question with a rhetoric question. All you could do is, in riverstate-style, attack me with bragging melancholic nonsense.

And now you end with silly emoticons, nice chap you are.

jayriginal:
The world doesn't revolve around you.

jayriginal:
It looks cool.

You might want to add a legal section to it, something this place is in dire need of but Seun can't see.

Mr Eizy are u among the officials that shall judge and reward Christians in Heaven? I am very sure if ur pathetic life(since u were born) is displayed on Channels TV, nairalanders would quickly identify so many sins attached to u and the ones u won medals for.

Mintayo:
I was expecting this from you, I am sure your tone and your conscience will say something else if Nigeria is rule by sharia law (God forbids )when people will be killed and maimed for different reasons instead of showing them the way of repentance through Jesus Christ the Lord.
Sharia is Islamic and the Quran supports it, but it's okay if you deny it now!
Jesus said all power and authority has been given to him - I am sure true Muslims does not know that!
Then true Muslims need to identify the Jesus they know because Satan also disguises as an agent of darkness.
Jesus preaches and brings love, peace and life. So far true Muslims have really failed in that area!

Rilwayne001:
There is nothing to explain here. I believe this is insane in a sane society.
