EID MUBARAK

-





Ramadan is the ninth, precious and most holy month in the Islamic calendar. It is a time when Muslim faithfuls spend time in prayer, fasting, Quranic recitations, charity (Sadaqah) and abstinence from immoral acts, among other things.
Among the Five pillars of Islam, fasting is listed as fourth among them. In Quran 2:183 Allah the Almighty says
“O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that you may learn piety and righteousness”.
One notable thing about the Holy month is that Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was sent down through the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as a guide to mankind, also clear signs for guidance and the differentiation (between right and wrong). Quran 2:185. Muslims are highly encouraged to read and study the Quran and to share with others within during Ramadan and give Zakat. 
As Ramadan is being celebrated all over the world let us remember that it is a day to rejoice and live in bliss, it is a day of blessing and peace, a day to reflect and ponder, it is a day to celebrate together!                        

Eid Mubarak!!

LIMITATIONS TO TESTAMENTARY FREEDOM IN NIGERIA #2

-
                                      CUSTOMARY LAW LIMITATION  Customary law is generally a make-up of rules and traditions peculiar to a people that are accepted as binding upon them. As discussed earlier, customary law puts certain restrictions on the testator’s right to share his properties to whomever he wishes. It should be noted however that Customary law does not prohibit the making of Wills, it merely restricts testamentary freedom with regards to a particular property that is subject to customary law; it is argued that some properties are sacred by Customary Law and as such cannot be disposed of by the Testator however he wishes. This principle is reflected in section 3(1) of the Wills Law of the former Western Region (comprising of the former Western Region except for Oyo and Lagos), it reads as follows: “Subj...

The Girl-child and Her Right OF Inheritance

 From time immemorial, the female gender has faced a host of discrimination; deeming her inferior to the male. Her right to work, vote, education, roles she could assume in society, whether or not she could own properties or be allowed to inherit properties from her father have all been decided by a mainly patriarchal society.

In different parts of Nigeria, customs restrict or totally exclude women from inheriting property (especially landed property) from their husbands or parents. This is especially worse for widows, as they are often regarded as property themselves; “items” to be inherited by their brothers-in-law. Even the less derogatory customs tend to tie a woman’s right to inherit to whether or not she has a male child.   Female children can now inherit from thei...
