seanfer: OP let's be serious and leave bias or politics out of this... Both Tinubu and Obi spent 8 years as Governor can you please tell us who is a better governor between the 2?
What legacy projects or investments the 2 left in their states that the state is still making huge dividends from?
How did the 2 of them met their states IGR, and what did they do to generate more revenue for their respective states?
After answering these questions then you should know who you will employ to manage your fathers moribund company,
So, if they shift FCT to another state and a governor is elected in Abuja which was a former FCT, you will claim the governor built FCT. Abi?
Mindlog: And I did say the late son bore his name but couldn't be buried until Davido and his family had to do the necessary, which is marrying Chioma traditionally before their son was buried.
Davido's paternal grandmother was igbo, so Davido's father was very much aware of that tradition.
codemaniacs: I mean such laws and customs should start and end in the east once they are outside the east they should be subject to the laws, customs and culture of the place they are in. meaning Igbo women cannot give their children a different surname from the Father's surname especially if the father is Yoruba and they were born in the SW.
It is not something the judge should have adjourned, it is something the Judge should have told her squarely that they are not in the east and what's law in the east is different from the SW. the judge is incompetent.
Ohhhh... I get you now. I believe the adjournment is to see if both parties can settle their difference. Even in dissolution of marriage, the court give enough time to see if both parties can work things out.
Talking about the tradition, I don't think it make sense. Weather in the east or not, once the father identifies with the child, they should kill that useless mentality.
If you're in love with a woman and before marriage you guys had a child. Maybe along the line, she messed up. Something you can't live with seeing her. Or you guys decided to go separate ways. Then she gets married to someone else and the family is trying to make the husband the father of the child. Prison never full na
Court will always ask you the father's consent before adoption. And if the woman claims he's late and it happens to be false, hmmmm
Wahala no dey finish.
So the tradition can't stand the federal law. Except the father don't want to battle with them.
I said baby factories because a baby factory is illegal..
A baby factory is not a legal orphanage or foster home.
but you defended
I'm talking about orphanage. You don't go to a baby factory to adopt kids.
What the hell is even a baby factory? Do your government and traditional rulers in Yoruba state recognize baby factories?
Go read the quest you asked again. And I quoted by saying that's a different thing entirely.
Then I went further to address the one you drew my attention stating your government and traditional rulers are supposed to enforce laws like that of the east. Maybe I got your question wrongly. Or you didn't put it right
codemaniacs: So what is the surname of children born in baby factories?
How does the law handle them?
Anyway this news only shows and proves that Yoruba governors, Yoruba senators, Yoruba judges and Yoruba people in the legal system of the SW don't take their traditional laws seriously..
Things like are supposed to be subject only to traditions and culture of the place where the children were born not where the wife comes from.
That's a different thing entirely.
The kids go into adoption and answer the family name that adopted them.
Mindlog: I guess the Adelekes couldn't afford a lawyer, who could have explained better to them.
Stop playing.
Flavour that's from the east has how many eastern baby mamas?
Tell me he must marry both so they don't claim his child Lol
That rubbish can only work when the supposed father is voiceless or lacks the capacity.
Should I list a few others? You can check your neighborhood also.
I am married to an Igbo lady. I'm not against their tradition. But I'm telling you from my observation that they're sending such message so you come marry their daughter. It's difficult for someone to marry a baby mama.
Mindlog: What do you think made Davido to hasten marrying Chioma? Their late son had Adeleke as his surname on paper but traditionally belonged to Chioma's family because the father never married the mother. Davido's family had the wealth to go up to the Supreme court to contest legally but they knew better to respect tradition and did what was necessary before they could bury the boy.
Bro relax your mind. By law, a woman can't claim a child. Except the father choose not to associate with that child.
Get a lawyer to explain better to you.
You're bringing stone age to the future.
Let's say you're ready to marry your baby mama, but her family is against it. What then happens to the child? The family claims it?
Mindlog: From the report they were never married as bride price was never paid. just cohabiting.
In many igbo communities, children of such relationship belong to the woman's family and should she get married to another man, those children will remain with her family of birth while in some igbo communities, the man who eventually pays her bride price becomes the father of those children and bears his name.......ask questions before opting to be a baby daddy.
Your tradition is different from the constitution governing a state.
Except the man don't want issues and choose to let his kids go away
