Rick Kid Vs. Poor Kid

-


A lot happen in Nigeria on a daily basis; things that we can’t control, those we have total control over, those ones which gets us completely excited, the ones that leaves us in tears and disappointed. People fondly say that waking up the next morning is an opportunity to making yesterday better and an avenue to secure for yourself a great future.

Imagine a 28-year-old Nigerian who is doing so well, has a reasonable amount of money to take care of his or her responsibility and that of his immediate family members but never for once thought it necessary to organize his or her assets or write a will state specifically who gets what and at what time.

Then also envisage another guy in the same age bracket as the former, who isn’t doing so well, struggles to feed daily and can’t even take care of his family, but he has taken out time to organize his assets and assign the few property he owns members of his family by writing a will.

Still in our imaginative world, both guys kick the bucket; who do you think his family will be more chaotic after his demise? Your guess is as good as mine. The well to do guy who didn’t write a WILL, definitely left his family in a mess.

The world is evolving and like we earlier stated no one has control over the havoc that come with living in Nigeria, but we sure do have the rights to plan our life and prepare adequately for our future; and that is what CARROT is here for.

Take charge of your life! #ThinkCarrot

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

-
Image
 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. Nigeria is no stranger to the relegation of women to the background; especially through customary law and practices. One of the most prominent is the right of the girl-child to inherit property. 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...
