*THE DEFENCE OF INTOXICATION*
The 31st of December, 2016! Everyone was happy this beautiful day. Calls were competing on her phone as if callers were hoping to win an Olympic gold medal. Texts were rolling in her telephone line like the waves of the atlantic ocean. All her social media were flooded with greetings and best wishes just for her on this memorable day.
What was special about this day? It was very lit in the living room of the Akunades which was usually nothing short of a serene atmosphere. The room housed a set of succulent sofa which provided a heavenly feeling to anyone who sat on them. The music from the home theatre was pounding the silent in the room with the strong bass it exuded.
An Italian glass-made dinning table clothed with glittering dark colour was also noticeable in the living room. A mighty cake with a touch of sophisticated design was sitting gallantly on the dinning table while being surrounded by bottles of exotic wines. Cup cakes, assorted meats, chocolate crackles, small chops among other recipes also proudly supported the cake while the beautifully designed greeting cards passed the requisite message.
One would definitely wonder, "what's it with this day?" It was exactly 7:30am; Toyosi who has been indoor receiving calls and reading texts came out to the living room. She was so amazed at the sight of the dinning table. "Omotoyosi mi, omo Akunade, Happy celebration to you. It's your 25th birthday! Cheers to a new age my darling. It's the beginning of something great", Mrs. Akunade whispered to her ears from behind.
Toyosi's father, Dr. Akunade who gladly watched them from the entrance of the master bedroom happily chorused, "Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!! Happy birthday to you my baby, happy birthday to you!!!". Yes! It was the 25th birthday of Omotoyosi Akunade, the only child of Dr. & Mrs. Akunade.
Toyosi who was short of words employed her two hands in covering her mouth with great shock written all over her face. Within a twinkle of an eye, a troubling noise from outside penetrated the living room and they wondered what could have have happened. Mrs. Akunade ran to the main door, locked it firmly and kept the key under the sofa.
Suddenly, someone knocked at the door, "ko, ko,ko". "Who is that?", Dr. Akunade asked. The person sounded, "I am". "It's only the Almighty God that's 'I am'. Who are you?", Mrs. Akunade cut in. "It's no other person that the visitor you've been expecting", person replied. "Don't you have a name?", Dr. Akunade asked angrily. By this time, Toyosi was already hiding inside the visitor's toilet in the living room.
"Happy Happy Birthday! That is all I can say. I wish you many, many happy returns. Toyo Baby, happy birthday to you!!". At the hearing of the name "Toyo Baby", Toyosi ran out of the toilet straight to the sofa and picked the key to the door. All efforts by her parents to prevent her from opening the door, since they didn't know the identity of the person in question, proved abortive.

WHAT IS THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCE OF SELLING ZOBO IN COCA-COLA BOTTLE?


http://www.thelegaldiary.com/legal-consequence-selling-zobo-coca-cola-bottle/

I’m sure it must have been out of curiosity! You’re wondering what I’m saying, right? Yea, such a question on the legal consequence of a matter can only come from a mind that is curious and thirsty for knowledge especially when such mind is not in the legal line.

On the 29th day of September, 2017, Temidayo, a Youth Corp Member and Civil Engineering Graduate from the University of Ibadan ask a very thoughtful legal question on the Whatsapp Group of THE LEGAL DIARY. His question is as follows:

“Just a thought and question. If as a Zobo or Kunu Manufacturer and seller, I use plastic bottles that I picked from an event and I’m selling my product in this bottles with the labels of the Company (e.g. Eva, Coca-Cola etc) still on them. In an ideal society, what’s the legal consequence?”

Opinions were offered on the legal issue. However, this legal question provides an opportunity to people (legal minds in particular) to put on their thinking Caps and give brilliant legal opinions on the above issue.

Rapmoney:
For those folks who love throwing stones at people due to hidden tribal, religious, family or pure blind sentiments, I write this post without any bias. If you have a first-class graduate or a professor in your family or you are one, don't take this personal, even if I know that your sentiments are irrelevant and remove nothing from or add nothing to the basic truth!

From independence to our present day, Nigeria as a country has been churning out first-class graduates from different universities that are scattered across the country like the creeks of Calabar. Often times, we are greeted with news headlines on newspapers, television, radio and online media such as: '45 Bagg First-Class From Migwor University' or '38 Graduate With First-Class From University of Vrendo'. Now, I ask, where are these first-class graduates? What have they been able to contribute to and achieve in science, art, technology and other facets of life? Is it that their 'intelligence' was only expressible on thick papers called certificates?

How come we still can't manufacture wrist-watches even with all our first-class graduates and professors in Engineering?

How come we have the raw materials to construct roads, yet we need some Arab fellows with a pass in National Diplomas to supervise road construction projects in Nigeria?!!! Where are our first-class graduates in Civil Engineering?

Where are all the project works that were defended in school before graduation? Probably resting on those old dusty cockroach and rat-infested shelves as usual

Our agricultural productivity is very low in many areas, yet we have been churning our first-class graduates and professors from various faculties of Agriculture in different tertiary institutions (universities and polytecnics).

Most private universities in Nigeria award first-class degrees as if they were oranges, kuli-kuli, biscuits or bubble gums. Each time these universities dish out their usual rounds of first-class degrees, it reminds me of how our aunties and uncles used to hand us many sweets, biscuits and gums during their children's birthday parties in the early 80's. To be sincere, I've met some first-class graduates from these schools who didn't even know the main difference between a university and a polytecnic. They couldn't impress me!

Most of the indigenous products we use in this country are the handwork and brainchild of folks who obtained technical knowledge from technical institutions and other sources within and outside Nigeria.

Those that studied abroad and bagged first-class degrees and the professors who were tutored abroad usually come back home with no significant contribution in science, art, technology and other areas, irrespective of the fact that most of them studied under scholarships or grants.

Until the educational system in Nigeria is over-hauled, we are going to witness more and more half-baked and quarter-baked first-class holders and professors who are products of a system that promotes mediocrity at the expense of value and quality.

The government of Poland spends about 3% of its annual budget on RESEARCH, just research alone (NOT EDUCATION). Don't we have so-called professors in government? What is their significance?

But can't the doctrine of condition precedent avail the wife? Can't the contract said to be oral?

What we are saying that it is not a contract. There is no contract between the Couple because there was no intention to create legal relation; it's merely a domestic agreement.

Why Nigeria Needs A New Constitution
I can say categorically that Nigeria needs a new constitution. The current happenings in Nigeria has clearly shown that the continuous panel-beating of the 1999 Constitution is not the panacea to the political and socio-economic challenges the nation is presently facing.
The 1999 Constitution was built on a faulty foundation; All worthy Constitutions are made by Citizens and their representatives. Such Citizens and their representatives are people who are fully engaged in the Constitution-making process and who understand that their future welfare and that of their descendants will be shaped by the Constitution they make.
However, in this instance, neither the people of Nigerian nor their representatives actually wrote the supposed (1999) Constitution. Rather, the Constitution was merely imposed on the people of Nigeria by dictatorial military leaders who had their own axe to grind.
This same Constitution was adopted in the democratic dispensation manned by the Civilian regime with the restoration of Section 1 (earlier suspended by the Military Government). Section 1 of the Constitution guarantees its Supremacy and it provides as follows:
1. (1) This Constitution is supreme and its provisions shall have binding force on the authorities and persons throughout the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
(2) The Federal Republic of Nigeria shall not be governed, nor shall any persons or group of persons take control of the Government of Nigeria or any part thereof, except in accordance with the provisions of this Constitution.
(3) If any other law is inconsistent with the provisions of this Constitution, this Constitution shall prevail, and that other law shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, be void.
Little wonder the Constitution has inevitable undergone several legislative surgical operations to no avail. Hence, the necessity for the enactment of a new Constitution for the country.
Furthermore, it is doubtful that the 1999 Constitution had the significant inputs of sound legal minds who have good command of the nature of Constitutional Law. Apart from being verbose, the Constitution is too specific to be interpreted to suit changing circumstances and other forms of laws, which could have stood out as separate statutory laws, were muddled up in the so-called grundnorm.
Therefore, we need to sit down and write a new Constitution which will promote true federalism in the country if we are to be progressive and compete favourably with other countries in the world. The new Constitution should consider the nation’s heterogeneous nature for effective nation building.
In addition, it should be geared towards political and economic sustainability. For example, the 1999 Constitution provides for just the sharing of the country’s financial resources among the three tiers of government. This provision needs to be overhauled in the new Constitution to ensure the country has a saving culture.
The refrain from the conventional sharing of the Country's financial resources coupled with the provision for States government to run their affairs with their Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) will leave States with no option than to put on their thinking caps thus making for financial independence.
In conclusion, Nigeria needs a new Constitution that would adequately carter for the country's pressing issues which the current Constitution has been unable to deal with because the peculiarity of the Nation does not reflect in the provisions of the 1999 Constitution.

Not Too Young To Run By Charly Boy – Sahara Reporters
It is highly encouraging to learn that the #NotTooYoungToRun (NTYTR) movement will embark on a National Day of Action on Tuesday,  July 25, 2017, at 8 am at the Unity Fountain, Abuja to mobilize support for the passage of the proposed amendment on age requirement for running for elective office.
It’s no longer news that the Senate and House Committee on Constitution Review have terminated the Not Too Young To Run Bill.
When the bill passed the first and second reading, there was an outburst of emotions across the nation, particularly among the youths who by the way dominate the population of the nation. Indeed it felt like our Lawbreakers were beginning to take their job seriously, though they would later prove themselves as irrational, unserious, and greedy.
The #NotTooYoungToRun Bill sought to alter the section, 65, 106, 131, and 177 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended); to reduce the age qualification for the office of the President from 40-35yrs; Governor 35-30; Senate 35-30yrs; House of Reps 30-25; House of Assembly 30-25. The Bill also advocated for an independent candidate in our electoral system.
The best memories of our nation were when young people embraced nationalism and fought for the liberation of their enslaved country.
A succinct look at global leadership trends today shows that the role of leadership is tilting towards the younger persons; France, Belgium, Qatar, North Korea, Tunisia, Greece, Canada, Poland,  Georgia and so on. Economy-wise, these countries are doing great, too.
The big question, however, is – are the present crop of Nigerian youths qualified for leadership? To that, I say a big YES. When we talk about our youths, all focus must not be on the youths residing in Nigeria alone. Globally, many young Nigerians are doing the country proud and excelling in their different fields of endeavor. And YES, I have met some exceptional young Nigerians within the borders who have qualities of good and visionary leadership.
Some of our sons and daughters were elected into the British Parliament – an unprecedented feat in the history of Democracy anywhere in the world. England won the Under 21 World Cup with the assistance of three young men of Nigerian descent. A young Nigerian won The World Heavy Weight Boxing title recently. In America, one of our daughters is now the Editor of the Harvard Law Review. Akinwunmi Adeshina is the current president of African Development Bank – A position he thoroughly deserves because of his amazing record as a distinguished public servant. Arunma Oteh is the current vice president and treasurer of the World Bank. Mohammed Barkindo was recently appointed as the secretary general of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). Shell International recently appointed Babs Omotowa as the Global Vice President. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie as one of the most prominent Nigerians influencing the world has about 15 different distinguished Awards to her name.

Oluchi Onweagba-Orlandi After winning Nokia Face of Africa competition in 1998, is considered one of the most sought-after models of her generation, and now manages upcoming talents with her agency. O Models in South Africa; The Nigerian-American physician, forensic pathologist, and neuropathologist has gone down in history as the first to publish findings on chronic traumatic encephalopathy, changing the face of sports medicine as we know it.
Young people both home and abroad need to know that they are at war, the nation has been captured and the fate of our nation now lies in the hands of our exceptional youths. To sit down and hope that the freedom of young persons will be given is just like hoping that dollar to Naira will fall to one to one. It will never happen. Not with the type of impunity that is now on public display.

Nigeria’s politrickians still consider our vibrant youths as being wet behind the ears to be given a fair shot at leadership. Though it is now an open knowledge that our lawbreakers are playing a key role in dragging us back on the journey of national development – because of their vile and evil greed.
I dare to say that the docility of our youths has produced many legislootersincapacitating the youths with no iota of conscience.
We should give kudos to the courageous youths who decided to champion the noble cause of challenging the status quo that has eternally failed.
This is to encourage the front-liners of the #NotTooYoungToRun bill; let this not be the end of the bill. The struggle must resume rescuing our nation from the hands of the corrupt gangs in power.

Young persons of this county are in chains and locks but they wear the key to their freedom like a shining bracelet begging for attention.
The knuckleheads in power have knocked off the Not Too Young To Run Bill while they promote their Amnesty For Looters Bill. The much talked about revolution can only be driven by concerned young Nigerians. If we don’t fight now, we’ll be trapped in the cantankerous web of expired leaders. Expired products are as dangerous as unfinished products. The fence is no longer strong enough to carry anyone. Good people must trend

well so loud that evil will be intimidated.

CHARLY BOY, THE MOB AND THE SLEEPING LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENTS
Something I've discovered about Nigerians is the enthusiasm with which we celebrate impunity. The news about the stone-throwing mob who almost denied Charly Boy his right to life among other rights is a concrete evidence of this fact.
Frankly speaking, this calls for serious concern and neither the indifference of some people nor the ignorant views of others is good enough for our Country. Amidst the various comments and articles that trailed the ugly incident, the opinion of Fola Ojo in his write-up titled, "The day Charly Boy almost died for Nigeria" caught my attention.
It is quite impressive that Fola Ojo was not only factual but was also objective in his view which was published in The PUNCH Newspaper on the 18th day of August 2017. He wrote:
"It was three weeks ago that I stumbled, for the first time, on the picture of this half-stripped man on a media platform. The name did not ring a bell. But in the last few days, the social media have been flooded with his exploits. He was born and christened Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa, but in Nigeria, they call him Charly Boy.He is not a boy by any stretch; he is a 66-year-old man. Charly Boy is a musician, entertainer, and a Nigerian who is probably trying to do right for Nigeria through his many expressions. I like Nigerians who get involved in discussing government and how to make things right. For if we don’t, wicked men will have freer reigns in the polity much more than they do now.
A few days ago, Charly Boy went to the popular Wuse Market in Abuja allegedly to  mobilise the traders to protest the absence of Muhammadu Buhari from his seat as Nigeria’s President. Buhari has been in London for over 101 days recuperating from an unannounced illness. Like many Nigerians, Charly Boy feels the President is taking too long returning. Alongside his #ResumeorResign movement, he stormed the market.  But when a few people who obviously did not agree with him on politics and sundry social issues sighted him, hell was let loose. By the whiskers, he escaped death. But he has promised to take his picketing soon to Buhari’s apartment in London if the President neither returns to Nigeria nor resigns from his post in a timely fashion as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Good luck to Charly Boy!
Every Nigerian has the right to protest any government if they feel or sense some ills in the system. If Nigeria is truly a democracy, freedom of expression must be seen to be inherent in citizens’ fundamental human rights. This writer stood with Candidate Buhari in the presidential election of 2015. I still have some sympathy for him and his agenda till today. Until I have a reason to pivot, I stand strong. But I am not a fanatic of any man. My love is first for Nigeria. If we choose to protest what does not work in a system, it doesn’t mean we hate the leader; and it doesn’t mean we don’t want him to succeed. This is a thinking process that many Nigerians don’t get. In Nigeria, you are not permitted to disagree with a man you support even when he is flat wrong on some issues. When you highlight where he’s gone rogue, you are perceived an enemy. But in your heart of heart, you are a true friend. I don’t know the political inclination of Charly Boy, but it doesn’t really matter. His right to voice a dissent on any issue affecting his country is inalienable.
one rogue, you are perceived an enemy. But in your heart of heart, you are a true friend. I don’t know the political inclination of Charly Boy, but it doesn’t really matter. His right to voice a dissent on any issue affecting his country is inalienable.

It’s an easy call for those who did not vote or struggle to get Buhari elected to ask him to step aside. It’s far easier for his haters to wish him dead and gone. But for those who believe in Mr. President up till now, it may be a tough road to travel. What Charly Boy was requesting in his protest is also being discussed in hushed tones even among those who are strict adherents of the ruling APC.There are murmurings among men in secret places; and these are folks who sincerely love the President. They think he should step aside if he is too frail to lead. And some of them believe that because of his integrity, and for the sake of Nigeria, he may do just that after this current trip to London if the strength to rule has waned. That, in my opinion, may be a long shot. And for very many reasons too.
Readers, allow me to scribble this on record to Charly Boy; and other Charly Boys out there. If you came to the US in the heart of winter, you better get your winter garments handy and ready. If you don’t, you may die of hypothermia. How you conduct business in a specific terrain is determined by the ruggedness and character of that terrain. The Nigerian political terrain is treacherous. Illiteracy is high and ignorance is sky higher. Human lives don’t mean much to many. And for countless hoodlums bred through the misrule of politicians and men in government over many decades, human lives cost only N1000 or less. You must deal with issues of politics with caution. Wisdom is a defence.
Wuse market where Charly Boy was protesting Buhari is a territory full of men and women who naturally hate the likes of Charlie Boy. It is a spot where Northern politician celebrities are held in high esteem and adored as gods. You can call it a public place; and you are not wrong. But I call it a privately public hotbed of fanaticism and die-hardness. And Charly Boy took the bashing of Buhari to that spot? Well, he has denied protesting Buhari at the market. Some of my friends think there would have been reprisals in other parts of the country if he had been killed in the melee. I agree. But the reprisals would have probably lasted a few hours. Men and women, most of them unemployed and hungry will be killed, an investigation will be launched into the whys and hows, Charly Boy would have made it half-way to heaven or hell; and the story will end there forever!
People have burning urges to protest many things in Nigeria. But they hold back and get opprobrious only in hushed tones. With a handout of N1000, kings have been killed in Nigeria. With N500, queens have been buried alive. What happened to men senselessly killed in times past? They died and were buried; some of them unceremoniously.  And their living loved-ones shouldered the pain. What happened to a whole Attorney-General of the country; Bola Ige after he was killed in 2001? What happened to Moshood Kashimawo Abiola, the man who won the 1993 Presidential election? What happened to Ken Saro-Wiwa, a decent man fighting for the freedom of his people? They were all slaughtered by bandits and brutes.  And their killers, except for Saro-Wiwa, remain nameless and faceless till today. If Charly Boy has decided to die for Nigeria, that is his calling. After his death, a big monument and statute will be built for him in Imo State and probably in Lagos. And later, when a Pharaoh who knows not Joseph shows up, the statutes and monuments will be pulled down. If God has wired you a martyr scheduled to die for Nigeria that may not be ready to lift a finger for its citizens; please, don’t hold back. Die as soon as you have the opportunity. As for me and my house, we are more useful rebuilding Nigeria alive than dead in the hands of demons strolling around as humans. By the way, this counsel is for men; not boys."

Historical Facts:
History has it that on the 21st May 2003, the All Nigeria Peoples’ Party had requested the Inspector-General of Police to issue police permits to its members to hold unity rallies throughout the country to protest the rigging of the 2003 elections.
The request was refused by the police chief without any reason. The ANPP decided to hold the rallies.
The first rally which held in Kano on the 22nd of September 2003 which was attended by General Muhammadu Buhari and other leaders of the ANPP was violently disrupted by the police on the ground that the organizers had not obtained a police permit.
The ANPP and 10 other opposition political parties briefed and instructed Femi Falana & Co to challenge the constitutional validity of police permit for rallies in Nigeria.
In the suit filed at the Federal High Court, it was contended that provisions of the Public Order Act requiring permit for rallies were in conflict with the fundamental right of Nigerians to freedom of assembly and freedom of expression.
In defending the action the police counsel maintained that the rally was stopped because it was not authorized by the Inspector-General of Police.
According to the learned trial judge said “I am therefore persuaded by the argument of Mr. Falana that by the combined effect of sections 39 and 40 of the 1999 Constitution as well as Article 11 of the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, the right to assemble freely cannot be violated without violating the fundamental right to peaceful assembly and association. I also agree with Mr. Falana that violation can only be done by the procedure permitted by law, under section 45 of the Constitution, in which case there must be a state of emergency properly declared before these rights can be violated.”
In conclusion, Charly Boy and his fellow peaceful protesters have a right to protest the President's continued stay in London because the alibi they've gotten as governance wasn't in their interest. More so, they were speaking the mind of million of Nigerian. As a matter of fact, if President Muhammadu Buhari could enforce his right to protest in 2003, why should organizers and participants of peaceful protests be mobbed? Why should the law enforcement agents and other relevant authorities ignore such acts of jungle justice which amounts to share impunity and injustice? Remember, injustice to one is injustice to all!

People will believe anything from the internet. He's 23 and has 3 BSc. degrees in Law from three different Universities right? Ask yourself how many years it takes to complete a BSc. Degree in Law in Nigeria, taking considerations of the yearly strikes? Then include years in his degree in the U.K.
From my calculations a Law degree in Nigeria is 4 years and UK is 3 years. That's 4 + 4 + 3 equal 11 years. 11 minus 23 that's 12.
So dude entered kindergarten from a 6 months old pregnancy, graduated to primary at 3 years, finish secondary at 11 years and entered a Nigerian university at 12 years.

Ps: calculation was without strikes in the Nigeria university.

Congratulations bloggers, you just won the Nobel Prize for world most stupid and dumbo of the 21st century.

Ps ps: To those quoting me that it's very possible. Yes it is but only in planet MARS while studying at a Nigeria uni in Mars Nebula. Except he's true age is twisted as useless bloggers tends to do.
I am not against his achievements but read the write-up again, slowly this time and you will see it stinks. Poorly written with fantasy instead of reality.
Nigeria University go on strike every year. Go and check records.
Congratulations again, dumb bloggers.

Normally, I insult people like you for wallowing in ignorance and jumping into conclusion without asking questions, but I've decided to educate you.

Law Degree (LLB) is 5years.
Nigerian Law School (BL) is 1year.
Youth Service (NYSC) is 1year.
Masters (LLM) is 1year.

Thanks for the information @Withambition

I have a tenant i want eject from my flat in Lagos after seving all the notices ( 6months, 7days). I want to commence the court proceedings. How much does it typically cost to go through the court to eject a tenant? I heard the court to hear the case is a function of the amount paid as rent. The tenants rent is N450k per annum.

Sir, I must confess to you, it depends on the lawyer that wants to do the job for you. The fact about court is true. However, that is just about the amount to be paid to the court for filing court processes. So, the professional fees of the lawyer is where the variation lies but you should spend more than N150k or N200K.
