  • Nigeria: Marriage Certificates, Including Their Appearance And
    Responses to Information Requests - Immigration and Refugee Board of... https://www.irb-cisr.gc.ca/en/country-information/rir/Pages/index.aspx?... Nigeria: Marriage certificates, including their appearance and security features; requirements and procedure to obtain them from within the country or from abroad; prevalence of fraudulent documents (2018–October 2020) 1. Marriage Registration According to sources, Nigerian laws recognize Islamic, customary and statutory [registry (US n.d.)] marriages (Nigeria n.d.a; Doma-Kutigi, 2019, 25). A journal article on certifying Islamic marriages in Nigeria by Halima Doma-Kutigi, who teaches law at Nasarawa State University and Baze University in Nigeria, indicates that each marriage type is "distinct and separate" from the others (Doma-Kutigi 2019, 22, 23), while the US reciprocity schedule explains that specific requirements apply to each one (US n.d.). Sources report that customary and Islamic marriages are not required to be registered (US n.d.; Doma-Kutigi 2019, 22) or have no government record (Nigeria n.d.a). The US Department of State's reciprocity schedule states that [i]ndividuals will sometimes, when necessary, swear an affidavit in a court that they are married in order to provide written proof of such a marriage. Some Local Governments will issue a certificate based on that affidavit by virtue of the Registration of Customary Marriage [by-l]aws. Absence of an affidavit or certificate of this kind cannot be taken as lack of marital status. (US n.d.) Doma-Kutigi indicates that by-laws allowing local authorities to register customary marriage exist in "most" states (Doma-Kutigi 2019, 29).

  • Country Information and Guidance Nigeria: Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
    Country Information and Guidance Nigeria: Sexual orientation and gender identity March 2015 Preface This document provides guidance to Home Office decision makers on handling claims made by nationals/residents of – as well as country of origin information (COI) about – Nigeria. This includes whether claims are likely to justify the granting of asylum, humanitarian protection or discretionary leave and whether – in the event of a claim being refused – it is likely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under s94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002. Decision makers must consider claims on an individual basis, taking into account the case specific facts and all relevant evidence, including: the guidance contained with this document; the available COI; any applicable caselaw; and the Home Office casework guidance in relation to relevant policies. Country Information The COI within this document has been compiled from a wide range of external information sources (usually) published in English. Consideration has been given to the relevance, reliability, accuracy, objectivity, currency, transparency and traceability of the information and wherever possible attempts have been made to corroborate the information used across independent sources, to ensure accuracy. All sources cited have been referenced in footnotes. It has been researched and presented with reference to the Common EU [European Union] Guidelines for Processing Country of Origin Information (COI), dated April 2008, and the European Asylum Support Office’s research guidelines, Country of Origin Information report methodology, dated July 2012. Feedback Our goal is to continuously improve the guidance and information we provide. Therefore, if you would like to comment on this document, please e-mail us.

  • Corruption with Tribal Marks: Explaining the Ethnic Nature of Political Corruption In
    Corruption With Tribal Marks: Explaining The Ethnic Nature Of Political Corruption In Nigeria By ADIGUN, Olalekan Waheed, BSc (Politics, Philosophy & Economics) (Ife), MSc (Political Science) University of Lagos, Akoka. Political analyst and strategist, Syndicated columnist and Public Relations consultant based in Lagos, Nigeria. Tel. No: +2348136502040, +2347081901080 Email: [email protected], [email protected] 1 Abstract No doubt, corruption is one of Nigeria’s biggest socio-political and economic problems today. This paper takes a look at the emerging trend of political corruption in Nigeria which is Corruption With Tribal Marks. Using Peter Ekeh’s conception of the “Two Publics” in Africa, the author argues it will be difficult to fight corruption with the present trend it is taking. The study also looks at the nature of the Nigerian state (colonial and post-colonial) and the instrument(s) through which it promotes political corruption. The paper also cites recent cases of corrupt politicians in Nigeria using Chinua Achebe’s work, A Man of the People. The paper further argues that de- ethnicization of corruption in Nigeria will take more than just a political process, but psychological and socialisation processes. Keywords: corruption with tribal marks, tribalism, post-colonial states, political corruption and ethnicization of corruption. 2 Introduction Nigeria is one of the legacies of British imperialism in Africa. The country’s multi-ethnic nature will provide the key to understanding its political problems. Since its independence in 1960, one of the main scourges that have bedevilled the Nigerian state is the pervasive nature of corruption. It is because of this that scholars have, at different times, devote considerable studies to the understanding and explanations of perhaps Nigeria’s biggest socio-political problem.

  • Online Journalism and the Challenge of Ethics in Nigeria
    Journalism and Mass Communication, October 2016, Vol. 6, No. 10, 585-593 doi: 10.17265/2160-6579/2016.10.003 D DAVID PUBLISHING Online Journalism and the Challenge of Ethics in Nigeria Chike Walter Duru Justice For All/British Council, Abuja, Nigeria Online journalism has changed the face of journalism practice in Nigeria and the world at large. The Internet has virtually revolutionized the process of news and information gathering and dissemination. However, not abiding by the ethics of the profession has become its major burden, a situation that is blamed on certain identified factors. Presently, there is no clear distinction between the role of conventional journalism and citizen journalism. Conventional journalism, which is the mainstream profession of journalism, requires one form of training or the other, either through education or on the job training, for them to discharge their social responsibility role, unlike in the case of citizen journalism, which is presently usurping the role of conventional journalism. This development spells negative effects to the trend of journalism. No doubt, the Internet has removed the barriers of space and time on human interactions; hence, information can easily be obtained at a relatively low cost; but, the major challenges are those of ethics, professionalism, and training. These issues need to be addressed urgently before they set the country on fire. This article traces the background of the ethical challenge and examines its management, highlighting the steps that could be taken to tackle the menace. The reasons for the continued growth in audience of new news site are also explained. Keywords: online journalism, citizen journalism, conventional journalism, ethics, social responsibility Introduction The advent of online media across the globe is a historic revolution that has changed the fortunes of journalism practice and shaped the profession in a symbolic form.
