After years practising Int’l Commercial Law & ADR across borders, I’ve noticed something: The most important battles for Africa’s future are fought in arbitration tribunals, treaty tables & commercial courts. Africa needs to start winning them.

@Elbeastierero @Kekenary @fattylincorn_01 @__4ktreyy But you’re not sure she did anything with the man, if you’re only relying on that picture as evidence. That’s the whole point

@UcheMerife @Kekenary @fattylincorn_01 @__4ktreyy Based on humanity Amen But see as you dey wish say that woman go get away with the same thing

He found his wife with another man in his house He didn’t try anything stupid Like quarreling them Beating of kpai them He just told them to sit right nd take a selfie 🤳 nd posted it on social media Shared it with his wife family and friends and took it to court for divorce proceedings Brotherhood is really proud of you Nah man you be! Copied

@larrizy @ChuksEricE And I will send you my bill afterwards, right?

@ChuksEricE @UcheMerife oya come and give us the legal implications of this marriage with a marriage supervisor under the Act

Apostle Chibuzor, General Overseer of OPM, this morning visited the hotel where Aboy and his lovely wife were spending their honeymøon to confirm claims about her v!rginity after online reactions. The bride said she is a mother of three, though her husband is late. She added that she was born and raised in Rivers State, while her father is from Edo State.

@Tw_uncensored @ChuksEricE Nothing is small under the law 😃

@UcheMerife @ChuksEricE 😂😂 wetin be this now For small egg

Actor Harry B and others were on a movie set when one of them bought an egg from a little girl hawking. The egg was not properly cooked, and he jokingly asked her to replace it, just wait for the little girl response😳🤯🙆

Well, it’s good to differ. My argument remains that it does and I have authorities to back up my position. I said that “I would argue” that the financial inducements, including the #10m, raises a red flag and “constitute undue influence over the woman.” The Matrimonial Causes Act is clear on the subject. More so, that paragraph should not be read in isolation. The fact that people have been doing it in the past wouldn’t automatically make it lawful. That marriage is voidable, at the least.

@UcheMerife @Morris_Monye I was referring to your earlier point that the 10m gift constituted under influence over the woman. I don't think it holds. Money and gifts have always been used to entice women to marry and it's not undue influence. Many older men have married younger ladies for smaller amounts

This OPM story of the autistic boy. Did he give consent to get married?

@9eleven1155 @fattylincorn_01 @__4ktreyy Ok

@UcheMerife @fattylincorn_01 @__4ktreyy U be fool

@NuliUzo @Morris_Monye Thank you

@UcheMerife @Morris_Monye Thank you for educating them about the law. That marriage is null and void. You need consent and capacity to enter into a legal union.

You’re missing a key distinction, bro. Yes, “cash and gifts” will not automatically constitute undue influence. In Regina’s case, you’re probably referring to her marriage to a much older & wealthy Ned, with all the lavish gifts and financial arrangements that went on. But those are deeply embedded in our traditional marriage culture. Our courts would be unwise to void marriages simply because one party is richer or more generous. Now, look at this boy’s case. The issue is not the cash & gifts in isolation. I was referring to the combination of factors, like: E.g: Regina Daniels has full mental capacity. She could evaluate the offer, weigh the pros & cons, consult people she trusts and say yes or no freely. Could your “autistic boy” do any of that? He most probably could not process what is being offered, what he is agreeing to or what the consequences are. Marriage is no joke, even for fully mentally capable men. Lol. So, the cash & gifts become legally problematic here not on their own, but because they’re being used to facilitate a marriage involving someone who cannot consent at all. You get?

@UcheMerife @Morris_Monye If cash and gifts constitute undue influence, Regina Daniel would be in court right away. I don't think it does.

@nikitabier @face_xoff Crazy how your “largest cultural exchange in history” turned out to be Americans outsourcing their rage-bait to Lagos and Karachi. It’s almost like X platform was designed to reward exactly this.

The largest cultural exchange in history just dropped.

@Kekenary @Elbeastierero @fattylincorn_01 @__4ktreyy It can never be me

@Elbeastierero @UcheMerife @fattylincorn_01 @__4ktreyy U no need argue with lawyer. We go only wan see wetin e go do when e reach him turn. If him evidence go dey enough.

@Kekenary @3xPierre @fattylincorn_01 @__4ktreyy 😃😃

@3xPierre @UcheMerife @fattylincorn_01 @__4ktreyy E even say e fit be lie and the woman fit lay counter claim. Na why many Nigerians no dey trust the justice system. That's why they go traditional. It tends to work faster. Cos what's all these?
