newacca:
Welcome bro. I cannot analyse how viable it is to set up a law firm here, but I am sure your colleague in the noble profession are willing to give you first hand information on embarking on such mission here.
This is an emerging city, there are lot of untapped potentials here, but it takes collective effort to make the city a place to reckon with, when we talk about commercial activities.
Looking beyond the Adire market and hospitality businesses, I see a great commercial city.

Ok..i think i'll have to give serious thought about moving over there.. thanks man.
PS: I'll like to keep in touch with you and other Abeokuta based business men. Am i welcome on this thread?

Good morning peeps.. i'm a lawyer and aspiring entrepreneur. I'm seriously considering settling down in Abeokuta. Please, how viable is it setting up a law firm there? I'll also like to know if the business climate is conducive. Thanks in anticipation of your answers.

Timzy234:
Can you please provide your email so that I can send you my work for any possible editing? thanks.

ok...kevinaduga@yahoo.com.. im always ready to help

BREAKING: South African Judge Masipa has sentenced

years suspended for the firearm charge. # OscarTrial

Let me help...
That quote is attributed to an English judge Sir George Jessel in Printing and Numerical Registering v Sampson. The quote is basically an embodiment of the economic theory of laissez-faire, impari materia with the doctrine of freedom of contract, which postulates that persons are free to enter into contracts of whatever nature between themselves and these contracts are protected and enforceable by law, in so far as they meet the essential requirements of a valid and enforceable contract.
Since you simply asked for a guide on how to tackle the question and not a complete dissertation, i would suggest the method i use in tackling essay questions (which this question is).
1. Introduction: cite the authority where the qoute is taken from. The judge who made the quote. And the facts of the case.
2. Main body: Define what a contract is. Define freedom of contract and it's origin. You should make reference to Printing v Sampson, especially Jessel MR's postulations while doing this. Cite other cases where the doctrine was either upheld or ignored. Outline the importance of the doctrine. Outline the inherent problem of strict compliance with the doctrine for example, unequal bargaining power of the parties to the contract. e.t.c.
3.Conclusion: sum up your work and outline the application of the doctrine, especially in contemporary times.
Ensure you cite authorities to support each point you raise.
Also note that there is no water tight way of answering law questions. Just choose a style you are most comfortable with, so far the essentials are present. The most important consideration is to present your ideas in a logical manner.

Hope this helps. Best of luck!

Halleluia!!! Nigeria is 54 and still a unified entity.. despite the predictions of doomsday that have littered our discombobulated existence.. but we have survived...white men came and passed away,we still dey.. the civil war came and passed, we still dey.. military rule came and passed, we still dey.. militancy came and passed, we still dey.. ebola came and passed, we still dey.. boko haram came and is about to pass, we still dey.. religious intolerance came, and it too will pass...corruption came and it too will pass... insecurity too will pass..poverty will be finally defeated.. infrastructural decay will be defeated.. Nigeria will rise, like a Phoenix rising from the ashes, to take our rightful place in the comity of nations.. cos it's apparent that this nation is God's own nation.. we are the lamp of the world, to illuminate the way for other aspiring "third world nations ". I'm proud to be a Nigerian. I'd rather be dead than be something else.

udemzyudex: If your gf is not the lively type, the one that doesn't believe that there is law in the Nigerian constitution that says a guy should be the only one to call a girl,the one that will not ignore you to do something silly when both of you are chatting,keeping you waiting for 10min b4 replying ur msg.

If you understand each other and have a plan of seeing each other every month or 2 months,in fact just fix a day to see each other.

You can go on with the distance relationship..if ur gf/bf lacks all what i listed pls back off now.

we definitely have all what you listed out..my distant relationship rocks, though could be frustrating at times..bt with hardwork nd trust, i believe we can make it work. insha Allah

tosyne2much: hey miss, you had beta stop dis silly act and overcome this pooo... I swear it would do you more harm than good If you are that type that has stopped greeting or holding conversation with your old-time frnds and neighbour as a reason of change in status

Ok..u re saying i should over extend myself in catering for old friends.. when i have better things doing.. like spending time with people that will actually benefit my life..nah..i'll pass..i'm no people pleaser... change is inevitable and the higher we go up in life, the less it becomes practicable to keep in touch with old friends..by the time u end up spending 5 minutes with every old friend, i'm not sure you will have much time left for yourself.. that, of course, doesn't mean you should turn into a snob... when you have the opportunity to communicate with an old friend, you should do so graciously.. but it is neither imperative nor a duty

Breaking Satirical News
– While America is busy injecting defenseless rats with the Ebola virus to systematically extract antibodies that can maybe “cure” Ebola. A group of extraordinary Africans have come together to find a more humane and effective cure for the disease.
Sources confirm that this potential cure does not involve harming
rats, monkeys or any sort of animal and neither was it created in
any fancy or expensive African research University or Hospital
(that is if they even exist). These brilliant scientists…I mean
pastors gathered inside Africa’s most lavishly equipped and
weekly funded medical research facility … the Nigerian church
… where several other cures have been discovered in the past
couple of years. Including the cure for Aids, the cure for Cancer,
the cure for Poverty and even the cure for Boko Haram just ask
Pastor T.B. Joshua!
So while America is still playing around with rats, these
Nigerian pastors are hard at work trying to find a permanent
Human solution for Ebola….and they are close!
Their proposed cure unofficially called Annointing-Oil-Z has
significant advantages over the recent American Z-mapp
serum used recently on 2 American health workers. For starters
it does not need to be administered intravenously … it can be
administered with a simple push I mean touch of oil to the
forehead. Another advantage is that the oil is not temperature
sensitive. Unlike the Z-mappT serum that has to be kept at
subzero temperature and thawed out naturally, the Annointing-
Oil-ZTM has shown significant stability in both low and high
temperatures.
With just a few scriptures and Annointing-Oil-Z patients who
had the Ebola fever or Malaria fever or any kind of fever for that
matter … instantly showed a dramatic improvement in their
condition. Data is inconclusive at the moment on the full
potential of the drug and whether it can be commercialized in the
near future. However, the initial results are promising. And as
more and more pastors from top Nigerian religious
institutions come together to tackle this disease, the chances of
a commercial solution rise even higher.
What is most interesting about this cure is that it is 100% crowd
funded by thousands of worshipers every week. In addition to
that, the Government gives significant tax breaks to these
religious research facilities to encourage their research work.
“Without the Government tax breaks we would struggle to
maintain our research facilities and also struggle to expand our
health and healing ministries,” said Nigerian Clergyman Titus
Theophilus, who explained that the Government tax breaks plays
a significant role in ensuring that the ministry is well funded.
“Thanks to them (The Government) we are able to get our
message across to other parts of West Africa and have
even been able to purchase a private jet for our head Pastor in
case he needs to meet with other top researchers from across
the world.”
So while the American Government is busy spending millions of
dollars to build top University/Hospital research facilities and
killing rats and monkeys in the process. The
Nigerian Governments are instead busy investing in a much
humane and arguably better solution which does not put a
burden on their tax payers. A solution that is powered by weekly
crowd funded tithes with additional but indirect
support via Government tax breaks.
At the end of the day the Nigerian solution is brilliant as it does
not put any pressure on the Nigerian Government to address
consistent University strike issues or even Hospital strike issues.
I mean who needs fully functional medical facilities and top
notch University building when your country has some of the
largest and most expensive churches in the world.
At this rate, a permanent end to Ebola might just be around the
corner and it will shock the world to know that the
solution Annointing-Oil-Z was made in Nigeria!
NOTE: No rats were harmed in the writing of this article.

Went to the high court registry this morning to file a motion. I wz told judiciary is on strike. Na game of thrones sure pass nw

Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) has concluded plans to begin nationwide strike tomorrow, Friday.

This was contained in a communique issued by the union at the end of an emergency meeting held on Thursday.

In the communique jointly signed by the National President of the Union, Comrade Marwan Mustapha Adamu and General Secretary, Comrade Isaiah Adetola, the union also urged the Federal judiciary workers to be at alert because they can be called upon to join in solidarity strike by the National Secretariat. It also disclosed that the national secretariat of the union has taken over the industrial dispute embarked by the River state JUSUN recently over leadership crisis.

 “After the exhaustive deliberation on the refusal/failure of state Governments to respect/implement the Federal High Court Abuja, judgment /orders in respect of financial autonomy of state Judiciaries as well as failure of stakeholders to abide by the decision to set up a technical implementation committee of the FAAC meeting of 17th June 2014, it is resolved by NEC as follows.

“That all Judiciary staff at state level nationwide should proceed on an indefinite strike with effect from Friday 11th July 2014.

“That the National secretariat of the union shall notify Federal Judiciary workers to join the action as events unfolds.

“That the National Executive Committee of the union after a review of events in Rivers state Judiciary also resolved that JUSUN members in the state should continue and sustain their current strike until the major stakeholders, fine an amicable resolution of the leadership crisis in Rivers state judiciary. Meanwhile the NEC in session has announced total takeover of action in River state”. The union stated.http://nigerianecho.com/?p=16286

ceeceeco: U're right. If u must join a confraternity u must have 2 use ur head. Back in 2002 wen i was in 200 level, i joined the supreme vikings confraternity @ Uniport because of a problem i had with one student who i neva knew was a cultist. The problem was because he wore my shoe 2 sch without my permission so i asked him why he wore my shoe without my permission, what he said was i should use my head, so i got angry @ his statement & we had a bust up which led 2 him going 2 call his gang 4 me. They had 2 beat me up & made away with some of my belongings. So my frnd who is a member of the supreme vikings confraternity heard of d incident so he persuaded me 2 join his group so we could fight back, so i gave it a tot & later agreed 2 join dem. Wen i came on board i was anchored the post of an I.C, then later became an A.D.C, then later became the Strike chief, then later became the Arkman, 4rm the arkman i became the executioner. School was very rugged & tough then, so if i hadn't use my head i would've had lots of problem. Thank God i'm a graduate(Emeritus/Xyz/Norseman). Ur intelligence is ur ruggedity...crime doesn't pay.

BRT on fire!

The soldiers were said to be protesting the death of their colleague who was knocked down by a BRT bus in Ikorodu Road, a busy thoroughfare in Lagos


The trouble started when there were reports that a soldier was hit while riding a motorcycle, and died at the scene. In a repeat of what is fast becoming a norm in Lagos, irate soldiers attacked Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) buses on Ikorodu Road this morning.

Some of the buses were vandalised and set on fire by the soldiers, with about twenty that were damaged. Transit through the Palmgrove area of Ikorodu road was non-existent and commuters had to resort to trekking to their destinations, while some also joined after abandoning their vehicles. Some people in the area were also beaten up mercilessly by the soldiers.

It was later reported that the Commanding officer in charge of soldiers in the area had spoken to them and placated the soldiers enough for them to withdraw from the scene. Unfortunately, the damage and the fear they unleashed amongst commuters remains to be assuaged. Photos from the incident below:http://thisisafrica.me/lifestyle/gridlock-lagos-soldiers-unleash-mayhem/

Nigeria is gradually failing..all d ingredients of a failed state re gradually presenting themselves..utter chaos nd anarchy, corruption at all levels, blatant insecurity of lives nd property, tribal nd ethnic divisions..we have slowly descended into a crisis which we have inadvertently allowed to blossom nd which has nw become unmanageable nd is threatening to consume us all..I fear fr d future of this nation..God help us
