ogastanlee: 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.

johnydon22: In what planet did your son win the argument? First, your son tried to establish feeling as a basis for God's existence, committing the first blunder of mistaking emotions to somehow infer objective existence of an entity.
Then even though your son tried to establish feelings as a basis for the existence of God, he also agreed he never felt God but rather thinks about God a lot, how on earth is thinking about something a pointer that it exists in reality?
Thinking only alludes to conceptual existence not actual.
Example: Dragons does not exist because we think about them a lot, Captain America do not exist because we think of him a lot, the avengers do not exist because they awake intense emotions (feelings) in us whenever we read about their fictitious heroic deeds in comics or movies.
Conceptually, these fictitious ideas exist, in reality, they do not.
Your son strawmaned the other kids argument, based his on a faulty premise and just talked over the other kid.
There is absolutely nothing smart about your fictitious son, bring out your arguments proudly instead of trying to heap them on an eight year old that exists only in your imaginations.
Fighting with the logic of 7-8 year olds!? You should be ashamed of yourself!
BTW: the OP just reported what happened without asserting that one position is superior or not
Some of the youths also took to the streets to protest the killings.
In December 2020, Rahama called on the United Nations, United Nations Women, United Nations Population Fund and United Nations sexual and reproductive health agency to intervene in the increasing number of violence against women and put an end to insecurity in Nigeria.
The SS, SE, MB and SW complained bitterly about this BUT your elders say people were only trying to "body shame" the Fulani and that it's a mere HOAX!
I am sure if the northern elders hear you, you'll be demonized for dare calling Buhari's kinsmen BANDITS!
Brexxit: Watch how some hypocritical holier than thou nairalanders will take over this thread to bash Chileans for proposing this law like the mofo above me.
When it comes to religion Nigerians think they know better than the white man that brought religion to them,yet most Nigerians wicked, greedy,evil.
Very soon, the same law will say marrying animals is an act of love and civilization. its just a matter of time!
Apart from Dariye and Nyame all of them seem to come from a particular region of the country. Even religious wise, it seems na only one religion dey sponsor corruption in Nigeria
Naija ladies are waking up. Creating their own happiness in the absence of a marriage.
No one really cares, except the gender that claims not to benefit from marriage.
No one said they don’t. For those that can’t have this beautiful marriage, they can as well have beautiful kids. Don’t worry about finding men. Men do not benefit from marriage, they shouldn’t be found.
Heya. But men don’t benefit from marriage na. Why are you guys pained?
And later their children cannot form healthy relationship with everybody else in the society. AND WHY? ...they know they were conceived out of whoredom!
abbeyfel: That's why I said one should not depend only on their earnings when doing these things. Be proactive. Keep learning. Keep expanding. And most of all, be morally discipline!
abbeyfel: Acting should never be anyone's only source of income. Not even any part of entertainment for that matter. There must always be a side hustle/investment no matter how much you earn through entertaining others.
Its not as direct as that. Just as in sports people like Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Messi etc have made several hundred millions from football, however, 99.999% of footballers globally are struggling to make ends meet.
Stevenson20: All these actors I no kukuma understand una life oooo. Does it mean that the male actors don't save or invest when the money was flowing in
I don't want to talk about their female counterpart because I already know how they get their money and buy cars and houses that is mind blowing. May God help una
They were famous but NOT rich. They have family responsibilities which made them perpetually dependent on the little income UNTIL age and competition reduced the income to almost nothing.
GetMeRight: I was never a fan of Gumi mainly because of his incessant attacks on Buhari but he earned my respect for his singular act of taking it upon himself to find a peaceful solution to the issue of bandits ravaging some northern states. Look in the mirror, what you see there is the real animal
I guess Evans too should be forgiven. A ministry should be opened to address his needs.
That would be nice as there would now exist peace in Nigeria
Gumi is saying in other words that: There cannot be peace in Nigeria again UNTIL the so-called bandits are given amnesty and declared as ordinary citizens!
Yemlizzy: This is very sad I cried Slyvester has died just like that. This counselor didn’t try one bit, if he spoke out when he noticed all these it won’t get to this level.
The culprits shouldn’t be allowed to go freely. Slyvester should get the justice he deserves. His death is just a terrible one.
Who would have listened to the counsellor when no crises is at hand.
Its like crying about Police injustice in Nigeria: who would listen to you?
This is no IED. It is just a box with an electronic item inside.
The size is extremely small to be an effective IED The shape is too inefficient (rectangular) to be an IED All the wires lead to nowhere...oversized battery source, no remote capability, no wire trip....
seun, please if you are reading this, please pull it down except its to shame our security agencies for being illiterates
Realtalk20: The Whole.southwest is dirty!! that Lagos is one pig slum .. that's how they bring their dirtiness to my Edo state . They are really a dirty race of pigs.. anywhere south westerners stay they dirty the place... Edo state used to be very clean until we started having them come in their hundreds fleeing being raped by their Fulani masters Just move around Lagos and you will know how dirty that state is. Forget propaganda the south west is the dirtiest place on planet earth . Every sane person knows how dirty Lagos is . The giant rats and cockroaches infested streets will tell you what's up
Childishness mixed with bigotry of the highest order. Please grow up!
Mercychen: A slight twist you call it but I've heard of so many women who later had issues with family planning they did.
It's easier for the men because their system is not so complex like that of women.
We already discussed about all the other methods especially condom and he said, for how long is he going to be using condom on his life time wife. He already kicked against the idea.
Woh, I'm tired.
God forbid, but just like D'banj, your only child drowns in the swimming pool, you will look for a sperm donor ABI? What advice will you then give your obedient husband?
pmoye: This is advice is really for Nigerian ladies. Please and please do not marry a man that is not rich. Your very life will depend on it. You heard me... How long you live as a woman may well depend on how rich your husband is. This may seem like an over-generalization, but a very needful one. Quite a troubling percentage of Nigerian men can not handle a woman who is more financially buoyant.
Ideally it shouldn't matter how much each person earns, because I believe that the husband and the wife should be one financially. That the home should be planned like a company with budgets, financial planning, sound auditing and all... But from the much we have seen around the average Nigerian family is far from this ideal. We often have what increasingly looks like a union that appears more to serve a cultural/societal expectation, a union that is sustained just so that the society can think you are happily married, while between the man and the wife it is more like between US and China, between Northern and Southern Nigeria, a perpetual cold war and bitter jostling for resource allocation and control.
I have seen women who have died because the husbands couldn't afford antenatal care and used ego-motivated argument to keep the women from accessing timely medical care... And of course, few years or even months after that those wicked men would later bring in other wives into the house.
The poorer the man, the more wicked, the more angry, and the more deadly he generally is in Nigeria. Do not let any man or any woman convince you to marry for love. There is no such thing as that, just a queer surge of hormones that makes you think you are in love. If you marry a poor man for love, hunger and suffering will soon reset your thinking, and by then most women feel too culturally compelled to remain with the toxin of a husband they have. Take a cue from evolutionary development in animal kingdom generally where females select the most suitable male for mating.
Do not simply believe in a man's future plans and dreams. If he doesn't have money now, he is not ready to be a husband. No matter how much you think you love him, treat him like the case of AS genotype (yours) marrying an SS genotype (his). And this is something I respect some Igbo men for. They will never think of marrying a woman unless they are economically ready.
If he is earning N30,000, or N40,000 or N90,000 per month he is not ready to marry. These are just examples from posts I have seen around here. Do not be fooled, the amount on the payslip is not always available for taking care of the home. But that's the talk for another day.
Some of us are probably never going to get married, I personally find it very scary to read about how men because of poverty increasingly turn against their wives in marriage... I may be too traditional though, because I do not fvcking care the money the wife is bringing into the house. Her role as a mother and a wife is already supremely more than you need to compensate for as a man. If you are a man, do not get close to a man when you are still poor. It is wickedness. It is dishonesty. It is crime against humanity. Do not sell her a future hope of becoming a pastor and other popular silliness.
Marrying a lady when you cannot completely and single-handedly take care of her is gender violence. Stop it.
It looks like wisdom until someone I know who used to work for globacom lost his job. He is now a secondary school teacher.
AntiChristian: If you call Allah by such name let's check the verse below:
I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the LORD (YAHWEH), do all these things. Isaiah 45:7
1. What does disaster mean in the above?
2. Jeremiah 4:10 Then I said, "Ah, Sovereign LORD (YAHWEH), how completely you have deceived (nasha) this people and Jerusalem by saying, 'You will have peace,' when the sword is at our throats."
Yahweh deceived people
3. 1 Kings 22:20-22
And the LORD said, 'Who will entice Ahab into attacking Ramoth Gilead and going to his death there?' "One suggested this, and another that. 21 Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD and said, 'I will entice him.' " 'By what means?' the LORD asked. " 'I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets,' he said. " 'You will succeed in enticing him,' said the LORD. 'Go and do it.'
Yahweh commissioned a spirit to go and deceive people
4. Isaiah 37:6-7 Isaiah said to them, "Tell your master, 'This is what the LORD says: Do not be afraid of what you have heard-those words with which the underlings of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me. Listen! I am going to put a spirit in him so that when he hears a certain report, he will return to his own country, and there I will have him cut down with the sword.' "
God had that spirit spread a rumor so that the King of Assyria can to return to his homeland. In short, that spirit's purpose was for deception
5. Isaiah 19:14 The LORD has poured into them a spirit of dizziness; they make Egypt stagger in all that she does, as a drunkard staggers around in his vomit.
Here we see God deceiving people to the extent that they become absolutely foolish.
6. Jesus too did same on earth John 16:25 25"Though I have been speaking figuratively (paroimia), a time is coming when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father.
Why wasn't Jesus speaking in a normal and clear way all the time? Why did Jesus then go and say that he won't 'use this kind of language'?
Well, here we find out why...
Mark 4:10-12 When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables. He told them, "The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables so that," 'they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!'
So here we see that Jesus was deceiving certain people by speaking in parables so that they won't (and God forbid!) REPENT AND BE FORGIVEN!
All these are Taqiya right?
I wish I had time to read the volumes of words you poured out, but unfortunately not. However, it doesn't change the fact that
matrix199: Snakes have suffered in the hands of peasant Nigerians. No thanks to Moses with the way he villainised snakes(serpent) in the book of Genesis.
Have you ever wondered what would happen if all the snakes in the world are killed? The population of rats would explode, leading to a plague that would cost millions of human lives before a cure is found.
Lets stop the impulsive killing of snakes that pose no threat. They play a vital role in the ecosystem just like pollinators like butterlies and bees play!
Well, that was my good nature speaking. The me after taking 8 bottles of budweisser would kill any threat that moves 50m close to my family.
Until antivenom serum becomes readily available in our hospitals, the enemity continues
MaxInDHouse: Whatever we call our own Jesus shouldn't be your concern, we are OK with our own Jesus!
An angel!? One who could not unilaterally deal with satan!?
Jud 1:9: "Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke you."
Which Lord?
This is different from the Alpha and Omega..the Beginning and the End.
There is no need for any epistle. I'm just pointing out the obvious!
