Writing in caps doesn't make you correct , it is general knowledge prenups can be overturned just google it and stop saying things you Dont know.

It can't, its a contract and we don't do prenuptial here unless you want complicate simple issues

Sanchez01:

If she'd be going on a weekday then she wouldn't have any issues. The yanga and unnecessary shakara of the registrars only pop up on weekends. It's one of the reasons I asked her to go on a Thursday. A very good friend got married on Thursday last week, and she told me she had no hitch or whatsoever.

Ikoyi becomes a disaster when it's used on a weekend.

If I was in that stage of my life I will just go to the registry of a quiet LGA and get it done, why the wahala no point,
I heard some people think the Embassy gives special treatment to you if your cert says IKOYI or mayB that is an International registry as if there is such thing.

Its you that need some maturity to do . The moment you understand that everyone is entitled to their support for whoever they wish the better for you.


Politics is not suppose to be a do or die affair and the two opponents today can still end up as political associates tomorrow but the so-called followers will be busy cursing , fighting and murdering each other on their without even the candidates sending them.


Just understand that we are all free to make our choice and you will never be hurt by whoever another person is supporting.

Sorry do i know you or did i quote you

You know, I was including the above in my previous post. There is this aura that the Ikoyi registry emits. Beyond the aura, a lot of people have subconsciously added class to it. They believe it is much more classy than other registries in Lagos. Interestingly, the ladies often times get to make the pick. Trust ladies and weddings. They'd always want to stand out even under the scorching sun, just so they could pose with the infamous Ikoyi 'Ministry of The Interior' signboard.

ariesbull:



So at the end of the day both customary and church will approach the registry for the validation of their certificate



So, why not bypass all the stress and go do registry


Why do we complicate issues

Yes, registry is the final Bus-stop for Marriage registrations.

But, people go through these stress due to sentiments..

You know our people like owanbe too much.

Some will do introduction party, Traditional/engagement, Church ceremony and registry.

Well, Ikoyi and Abuja are the only two federal Marriage registries in Nigeria.

The rest are state registries.

Its like comparing federal university to state university.

Sentiments favors the federal.
Most embassies recognized the federal registry more than the state.

Plz re read the article again,

So If everything was done correctly then you are as good as gold.

The Embassey do not give a shyte about waht LGA you bring your cert from.as far as it issued by a LGA in NIgeria, its a myth,same thing people think they are going to be asked BTA

Lord ... Anything the judge 'feels' is fraudulent is fraudulent ... Did you fully read the article , she 'claimed' he forced her to sign the prenup and promised her verbally that when they start having children he would dispose it . This is the so called fraudulent ground ... The prenup was done completely by the book and even had a pay of 25000 dollars for every year they remained married . I'll say it again google is your best friend

However in the Uk some registry tend to commercialize their registry to raise income, the make their environment look good for pictures to lure more customers.You can tell by the flowers and deco

Ofcos i read all of it, why wont I,MOPOL nor dey here nah , however to the force bit, that wont stand in court if it was done in the presence of her lawyers and his lawyers(witness), just saying, that might be where he erred.

It is well

Weddings hv been over hyped, I hv seen many men go broke after luxurious wedding reception just to impress people n depress urself, some spent all their savings on a single day wedding, some turned to debtors and became hypertensive instead of enjoying a blissful marriage.

True, but you know embassies verify this certificate before accepting them.

It is easy to verify a Federal certificate, than s local government certificate from Osun state.

Which of the certificate verification is faster federal or local.

Nice one,every things you wrote is posible but you need to increase your budget small knowing that we are in recession. Ikoyi registry is best place for you, they have small hall that can take care of budget they don,t ask for much things apart from passport photo of both of you and other few things, on like local govt. That have turn it to bussiness ventures

mira4u:


Stop giving fake info. Type what you have facts about. When I did mine, my bro in-law signed for my hubby. It was a female friend who signed for my friend when she did hers.

That you were allowed doesn't mean its allowed by the LAW. Nigeria is a lawless country so anything goes na ! The scenario of your brother inlaw signing for your hubby is actually pardonable because he can act as a Guardian. But that of your female friend is wrong according to LAW.

So you won't talk shit to me bcuz we are on Nairaland.

I had to go dig it up, Because i remember my Dad telling me sometime ago that i can't do this without parents consent, and you are now telling me otherwise.

Of course lawyers were present for the prenup signing and what not . As for the vocal agreement For all its worth she could have manufactured the promise , its not like the so called promise couldn't have been written in the prenup but no she claims it was said in the past ,and even if it was true , in what world does an oral statement trump a frikin contract and the judge says okay then ... Prenup void ... How na and BTW the woman also cheated on the hubby which was cause for the divorce and now she owns half of his life .

U think they verify? they do not have such time for all that.Unless you give them reason to.I asked the registrar if they where contacted by the embassy when I got married he said Nop.This is the truth, most of this things are myth.Some people still have figures for BTA.

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.

Well, court marriage favours the lady more than the man. I'd say it's wise as a lady to take this route, after the traditional though.

Being recognized by law as man and wife means a possible case of misbehaving in the nearest future would be minimal, compared to one that is not backed up by law. Disadvantages? Not really. All it requires is just witnesses and not necessarily parents.

Yes. To achieve this, it would be wiser to fix the date on a weekday, preferably Tuesday or Thursday. Friday is closer to Saturday, which means you could have people who would disappear from their workplaces to attend, even without being invited.


Not sure about this. Remember it's a court premises. However, I'd advise you look for a place around the registry for your reception. You'll get places around there, I'm sure.

Yes, and all the more reason to stick with a weekday. Thursday is even far sef. Just stick with Tuesday or Wednesday and you'd be good.


Well, that might be quite difficult save you consider the kind of snacks and drinks. For the conventional 'small chops' you might be spending unnecessarily in that area. However, if your budget is targeted at less than 20 persons, then I'd recommend you contract people that are closer to you as they would offer you something valuable for a lesser amount.


Five hours is TOO MUCH for someone who doesn't want crowd. Most standard receptions don't even stay up to that. Also, put into consideration that most venues rent per hour, particularly in Lagos. So the longer you stay, the more you'd be spending. For me, I'd say 3 hours is enough.

Nice posts. What will then be the order of the day, if a venue is to be rent for less hours, I mean totally different from the conventional wedding events

Personally, I think more I deal thing should be that one should have a traditional marriage which is the most important and then go and register the marriage with the government registru ... Its advantage is numerous which you have stated already looking at budget and crowd, hence disadvantage depends on how you respect yourself in the marriage .

@op for the record, go for court wedding, white wedding is stupidity by Africans and a total scam.

I think this has to do with a person of certain age it says under 21 years old.

No, you should have someone who will act as a Guardian to consent and NOT someone who is your Female friend. That one no be guardian na !
