Book Synopsis Restatement of Customary Law of Nigeria by : Epiphany Azinge
Download or read book Restatement of Customary Law of Nigeria written by Epiphany Azinge and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2013 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of a Restatement is to identify common principles or trends in a particular area of law with the objective of unifying the further development of the law. No other area of law in Nigeria is in need of Restatement as much as Nigeria's customary law. A number of reasons inform this position: (i) the cultural diversity of the country has meant that customary practices differ in so many respects on the same issue; (ii) the oral tradition of the customary system has placed it in the 'endangered species' list; (iii) the paucity of authoritative works on customary law has created a yawning gap for the scholarship in this vital area of law; and (iv) no matter however ignored, customary law continues to play a very significant role in moderating the Nigerian values system in society. Carried out by the Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies this project brings to an end four years of a massive research undertaking involving desk review; field research covering four geo-political zones in Nigeria; collation and analysis of field research findings; testing of field research findings in a stakeholders consultative conference; further desk review to fill in gaps in the literature; and the core restatement work by a select committee of Reporters.

Book Synopsis Customary Law in Nigeria Through the Cases by : A. A. Kolajo
Download or read book Customary Law in Nigeria Through the Cases written by A. A. Kolajo and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Nigeria, rules have been handed down orally from generation to generation and now form the country's customary law. The absence of the codification of these rules has presented difficulties in ascertaining them. This book helps to overcome this difficulty by presenting various aspects of customary law stating clearly that no single uniform set of customs prevails throughout the country. It examines the general characteristics of family property, determination of family property and acquisition of land under Bini Customary Law. It also discusses validity, proof and application of customary law, customary law succession, tenancy, arbitration, marriage and legitimacy, and legitimation under customary law.
Book Synopsis The State and the Paradox of Customary Law in Africa by : Olaf Zenker
Download or read book The State and the Paradox of Customary Law in Africa written by Olaf Zenker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Customary law and traditional authorities continue to play highly complex and contested roles in contemporary African states. Reversing the common preoccupation with studying the impact of the post/colonial state on customary regimes, this volume analyses how the interactions between state and non-state normative orders have shaped the everyday practices of the state. It argues that, in their daily work, local officials are confronted with a paradox of customary law: operating under politico-legal pluralism and limited state capacity, bureaucrats must often, paradoxically, deal with custom – even though the form and logic of customary rule is not easily compatible and frequently incommensurable with the form and logic of the state – in order to do their work as a state. Given the self-contradictory nature of this endeavour, officials end up processing, rather than solving, this paradox in multiple, inconsistent and piecemeal ways. Assembling inventive case studies on state-driven land reforms in South Africa and Tanzania, the police in Mozambique, witchcraft in southern Sudan, constitutional reform in South Sudan, Guinea’s long durée of changing state engagements with custom, and hybrid political orders in Somaliland, this volume offers important insights into the divergent strategies used by African officials in handling this paradox of customary law and, somehow, getting their work done.

Book Synopsis Justice in Igbo Culture by : Nkeonye Otakpor
Download or read book Justice in Igbo Culture written by Nkeonye Otakpor and published by Malthouse Press. This book was released on 2008-12-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has existed the naÔve assumption that until the unsolicited advent of colonialism, the so-called "noble and savage" tribes had no legal system worthy of attention. The Igbo people were not exempted from this assumption. Justice itself cannot be realized outside a system of law and its institutions. It is a system in which law is a vital aspect of man's culture and social existence; embodying the collective will of the community and binding the members of that community in a unity of purpose. In all of these, the exercise of reason is essential and indispensable. In the face of the colonial and neo-colonial assumption of the non-existence of law, the evidence on the ground suggests something totally different. If anything, that evidence shows that the assumption was an essential part of the ideology of colonialism and an important psychological armour which, in conjunction with the Bible and gun-powder, helped to bring about the physical, political, economic, and mental domination of non-Europeans. In this book, an attempt is made to elucidate the logical features of some fundamental concepts and phrases related to justice, dispute settlement, and the organization of life and work in Igbo communities in Aniocha north local government area of Delta State.

Download or read book Azinge: Born to Serve written by Ifeoha Azikiwe and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2022-06-08 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epiphany Chigbogu Azinge is an erudite Professor of Constitutional Law with admirable scholarly attributes: 42 years at the bar; 42 years in crowded lecture halls, impacting knowledge and building prodigies at the Bar and Bench. “Born To Serve” chronicles the “Aba Boy” at 66, and his services from formative years to retirement as Director General, Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, - “Nigerian Law Abode,” – the apex of legal education in Nigeria. He is currently among the jurists of the Commonwealth Secretariat Arbitral Tribunal in London, representing Nigeria. Every stage of his life is eventful. At St. Patrick’s College, Asaba, he once declared a “state of emergency” as a school prefect, and graduated tops. At the London School of Economics where he acquired his doctorate, he became popular as “Zinge,” due to his intellect, and earned a distinction. He has grown unimaginably in status to become a man of exemplary character and great achievements in public administration, philanthropy and service to God and humanity. Azinge served three attorneys general, and ministers of justice as special assistant and legal adviser at Nigeria’s most challenging period in history, covering draconian military regimes of Ibrahim Babangida and Sani Abacha. He recalls sadly, June 12 1993, the execution of the “Ogoni Nine,” and the Bakassi border dispute that Nigeria lost to Cameroun.
