After an informative general introduction, the book proceeds to an in-depth discussion of the sources and instruments of family and succession law, the authorities that adjudicate and administer the laws, and issues surrounding the person as a legal entity and the legal disposition of property among family members. Such matters as nationality, domicile, and residence; marriage, divorce, and cohabitation; adoption and guardianship; succession and inter vivos arrangements; and the acquisition and administration of estates are all treated to a degree of depth that will prove useful in nearly any situation likely to arise in legal practice. The book is primarily designed to assist lawyers who find themselves having to apply rules of international private law or otherwise handling cases connected with Nigeria. It will also be of great value to students and practitioners as a quick guide and easy-to-use practical resource in the field, and especially to academicians and researchers engaged in comparative studies by providing the necessary, basic material of family and succession law.

Download or read book Things Fall Apart written by Chinua Achebe and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1994-09-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A true classic of world literature . . . A masterpiece that has inspired generations of writers in Nigeria, across Africa, and around the world.” —Barack Obama “African literature is incomplete and unthinkable without the works of Chinua Achebe.” —Toni Morrison Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read Things Fall Apart is the first of three novels in Chinua Achebe's critically acclaimed African Trilogy. It is a classic narrative about Africa's cataclysmic encounter with Europe as it establishes a colonial presence on the continent. Told through the fictional experiences of Okonkwo, a wealthy and fearless Igbo warrior of Umuofia in the late 1800s, Things Fall Apart explores one man's futile resistance to the devaluing of his Igbo traditions by British political andreligious forces and his despair as his community capitulates to the powerful new order. With more than 20 million copies sold and translated into fifty-seven languages, Things Fall Apart provides one of the most illuminating and permanent monuments to African experience. Achebe does not only capture life in a pre-colonial African village, he conveys the tragedy of the loss of that world while broadening our understanding of our contemporary realities.
Download or read book Law of Succession in Southern Nigeria with Special Reference to the Mid western Region written by Mudiaga Odje and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work treats of both the general law and the customary law of succession in southern Nigeria, with special reference to the newly established Mid-Western Region. The rules of the various systems of the customary law of succession of the peoples inhabiting our area of special reference - the Mid-Western Region - have been examined in defined patterns; although the opportunity has also been taken to point out instances of local variations occurring within the patterns, as well as those of similarities existing between systems dealt with in different patterns. The work is in five parts. Part One gives an outline of the legal system of the Mid-Western Region, including a brief sketch of certain topics - the creation of the Region, its position, extent and peoples - serving, as it were, as a background for an intelligent understanding of the legal system. Part Two deals with the general law. Chapter Two contains a brief account of the law relating to the administration of estates; while Chapters Three and Four examine the effect of a Christian or monogamous marriage on intestate succession. Part Three is concerned with the process of the administration of estates under customary law in southern Nigeria generally. Chapter Five gives an account of the performance of the burial and funeral ceremony of the deceased, and the connexion between the performance of this ceremony and the succession to his estate. Chapter Six deals with the customary administrator, including his appointment, rights, duties, powers and liabilities. Part Pour is devoted almost exclusively to an examination of the various customary law rules of distribution observed by the different ethnic groups occupying the Mid-Western Region. In this part also, the rights and duties of the heir as well as those of a guardian are considered. Part Five covers testate succession. Chapter Thirteen deals with wills, gifts inter vivos and donationes mortis causa governed by the customary law. Chapter Fourteen discusses the general law of wills, i.e. wills in English form; and examines the purposes for which the machinery offered by the English Wills Acts has been employed by the Nigerian testator. The chapter concludes with suggestions regarding the enactment of legislation to deal with two aspects of the law of wills. One recommends that an attempt should be made to effect either complete integration or harmonization of certain requirements of the general law and the customary law relating to wills. The other calls for the placing of some restrictions on the testamentary powers of the deceased, or more precisely, family provision. A word must be said concerning the method used in collecting some of the materials presented in this work. Apart from several hitherto untouched publications, bearing on the Mid-Western Region, which have been presented here, there has been oral information collected on the spot from chiefs and other persons versed in the customary law in the Region. Their help in this connexion has been duly acknowledged at the appropriate pages of this thesis.

This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the conviction of Sacramentum Caritatis as well as the fathers of the Second Vatican Council that active participation at Eucharistic celebration cannot be easily disassociated from active involvement in the Church's mission in the world. This present study in the light of the foregoing presuppositions, exposes some of such challenges confronting the Afro-Igbo Christian, with special focus on the menace of the osu caste system, and proposes ways towards its eradication. One of such ways remains strengthening the Eucharistic celebration through the process of the inculturation.

Download or read book Igbo Philosophy of Law written by F. U. Okafor and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a first attempt at the philosophical articulation and projection of the Igbo concept of law and the role of law in the traditional environment. In the Igbo traditional setting, the rules of law are uncodified. The author, who teaches philosophy of law and logic at the University of Nigeria, defines the law of a given community as the body of rules recognised as binding by its members. On this concept of law, he has based his attempt to elucidate the philosophical underpinning of those rules recognised in Igbo traditional legal system as law. Unless the philosphical foundation is understood, the traditional law, machinery for enforcement, and legislative and judicial processes may appear incomprehensible. The first part gives a descriptive insight into the moral, religious, socio-political and legal background of the Igbo. The second part is devoted to the fundamental questions concerning the concept of law, the various types of laws, the reciprocal influence between law and Igbo religion and the end of laws. Finally, the author examines the nature of right in Igbo traditional thought and locates the philosophical background.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third edition of an established and leading book on family law in Nigeria. Since the last edition in 1990 significant judicial and statutory enactments have taken place in the area of study. The new edition incorporates these changes and explains their implications. The chapters have been comprehensively re-written to reflect the changes in the law and to update all relevant information including the Same Sex Bill and the Nigerian Law Reform Commissions draft Marriage Act. New chapters have been included on domestic violence and widowhood respectively to reflect the continuing developments in Nigerian family law. The new Child's Right Act of 2003 and the similar state legislations have been analysed in the three new chapters. The non-customary law rules in the intestate succession have been extensively recast to reflect the provisions of the Marriage act as contained in the Lawa of the Federation of Nigeria 2004. This edition has devoted considerable attention to the applicable customary laws on the family and provides extensive treatment of Islamic Law Rules and their interpretations and application by the superior court. Familu law in Nigeria presents a fresh view not only on the applicable rules on Nigerian family law but also suggest new directions and underlines the socio-economic implications.
Download or read book Efuru written by Flora Nwapa and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2013-10-21 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Appearing in 1966, Efuru was the first internationally published book, in English, by a Nigerian woman. Flora Nwapa (1931–1993) sets her story in a small village in colonial West Africa as she describes the youth, marriage, motherhood, and eventual personal epiphany of a young woman in rural Nigeria. The respected and beautiful protagonist, an independent-minded Ibo woman named Efuru, wishes to be a mother. Her eventual tragedy is that she is not able to marry or raise children successfully. Alone and childless, Efuru realizes she surely must have a higher calling and goes to the lake goddess of her tribe, Uhamiri, to discover the path she must follow. The work, a rich exploration of Nigerian village life and values, offers a realistic picture of gender issues in a patriarchal society as well as the struggles of a nation exploited by colonialism.
