Breaking: All Marriages conducted by the Ikoyi Marriage Registry are illegal and Invalid.

by Stanley Alieke, Esq.

There have been a legal brawl between some Local government Areas of Nigeria against the Federal government simply for the determination of who have the power to operate marriage registries, conduct marriages and issue marriage certificates.

Statutorily, the Local governments are the ones empowered to conduct marriages and issue marriage certificates, for this reason, the LGAs have insisted that their powers to register marriages which is statutorily provided are being usurped by the Federal Government through the Ministry of Interior.

The Eti Osa LOcal Government Area of Lagos state took the Ministry of Interior and Attorney General of the Federation to court in suit no.: FHC/ LS/CS/816/18 between Eti-Osa LGA & 3 others v. Hon. Minister of Interior & 2 others (Federal High Court, Ikoyi Judicial Divaion), where the accused Federal Ministry of Interiors of usurping the Local Governments power to operate marriage registries, conduct marriages and issue marriage certificates.

The prayed the court to declare that the federal government have no business in the conduction of marriages and issuing marriage certificates and order the closure of all marriage registries opened and operated by the federal ministry of interior or through their agents including that of the Ikoyi registry.

The case lingered but recently, the federal High court sitting in Ikoyi held in the favor of the Eti osa local government and granted their prayers.

The court held that conduct of marriages and issue of certificate is statutorily the job of the local governments as provided by the law and only the local governments have the power to do such and the acts of the federal government through the ministry of interior operating marriage registries is clearly beyond their powers.

The court further held that all marriages conducted by federal marriage registries or through their agents are illegal and invalid and the federal high court also ordered for the closure of all federal marriage registries including that of Ikoyi marriage registry with immediate effect.

Well... Sometimes I feel the same way.
EFCC appears to only go after low hanging fruits.
If you are waiting for them to go after the banks (that are scamming people left right and center) for instance, you will wait for ever.

Emmanuel Abuh Lawrence took to Facebook in a post, seeking justice for being denied admission into Benue State University to study Medicine after scoring 299 in UTME. Emmanuel who has written the exams several times feel he was unjustly denied admission because he has no money to bribe the University officials.
Some Nigerians tried to attribute his denials to evil forces mostly from the family, advising him to pray and try again while others suggested he call Brekete Radio to see if he can get a redress on the matter.
See the attached...

Na family matter. Had he ever condemned injustice to other people in the society, or he just remembered justice because he is involved? Did his father do justice as a police officer?

Which genocide?


Brothers killed their own brothers, you say it was genocide? Na family quarrel joorrr.

Chinwendu, ntoooor.

Contributory Negligence would not absorb the accused person in a murder charge actually. the 'thin skull rule' is trite and regardless of the role their religious belief plays. People that killed the boy would still be liable for murder.

While I may agree that the persons who were directly responsible for whatever happened to the deceased would not be absolved for the death of the boy; yet, and if this information is true, the parents will not go without blame if they were negligent or found to be reckless in handling the boy's situation. They might even be answerable to man slaughter charges if it is discovered that they failed to take steps as would a reasonable parent whose child is critically ill, such as getting immediate medical attention for the child.

MoneyGoDrop:
Keep deceiving yourself there.You're a fraudster and you deserve to be jailed for this. I purpose death penalty on all paternity fraudsters like the op. How can you let a man carry the responsibility of another man without his consent.

Supported.

No be the same papa born them?

If the parents actually drove the poor boy from Lagos all the way to Warri, then this is a clear case of Contributory Negligence on the part of the parents. As such, the parents must also be questioned and prosecuted if necessary.

This is horrible.

Repulsive!

Disgusting

Na bobriskty sister be that?

Fame99game:
There is sense in what he said... A lot of it .....

Just as there is sense in non-sense (nonsense).

See reasoning. The way some people think ehh, it's so unfortunate.

Wuru wuru government.

Wuru wuru CNN

It was even the federal government that insisted that states set up judicial panel of enquiry. Some Northern states refused. My question is if the Federal government knew it was fake, why set it up in the first place. People were not even interested in any panel initially because we all thought it will be another bullshit as usual

Exactly my point.

When there was clamor for a panel of enquiry it was the same Federal Government that said it lacked powers to set up panels of enquiry, that only states can do so unless it's about the FCT.

Now they are using Keyamo to fly a kite so Lagos state will have an excuse not to release the white paper.

Did the panel actually probe the military?

Keyamo should go and sit down.

KoshCAD:
Looks like photoshop.

E be Like sooo.

Oya, DSS, over to you.

If na Chiwetalu Agu now, una go de flex muscles.
