I found this while studying one of the enacted laws in Nigeria and I thought it could be useful to fellow nairaland readers. Did you know that where a man has been sick for so long and he got tired of life and ask his doctor to inject him to death, if the doctor out of pity consents to the request of the patient even with a written consent letter by the sick man, the doctor could be charged and convicted for murder? check section 299 of the Criminal Code cap 38 Laws of the Federation. to know more about the crimes in the Nigerian law log on to Rulesland..com

Its going to three months since President Mohammadu Buhari became the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Before he won the election, he made a number of promises to back up the seems firm intention of the ruling party to indeed bring change to the collapsing situation of the Nigerian economy and this actually won the heart of many Nigerians who voted for the All Progressive Party's candidate.

However, the standing situation of Nigeria at this moment has generated numerous questions in the mind of Nigerians. Everyone have questions right now about what the actual intention of President Buhari is. One of the questions being asked is if the president can rule Nigeria all by himself without the ministers, having said that he will not constitute the cabinet until September.

Section 147(1) of the 1999 Constitution as amended, provides for the appointment of the Federal ministers. Section 148 provides for the responsibilities of ministers. Section 148 (2) of the 1999 Constitution is to the effect that Ministers are to advice the president generally in the discharge of his executive functions except where the advice of any other person or body is to be sought as stated in the constitution. The ministers are to generate ideas that would propel the speedy growth of governance and advice on the way to deliver the dividend of democracy to the citizenry.

As it is now, president Buhari seems to have been taken decisions solely without the required advice, can we say he is ruling alone and is it possible?
