2021 Phd Onafuwa.Pdf SOCIO-LEGAL BARRIERS TO THE EXPANSION OF LEGAL AID IN NIGERIA: INITIATING LEGAL REFORM THROUGH THE CUSTOMARY COURT SYSTEM OLÚBÙNMI EUNICE ỌNÀFUWÀ Doctor of Philosophy School of Business and Law UNIVERSITY OF EAST LONDON July 2020 i Abstract The core of this study is directed towards an analysis of the laws, rules and guidelines that embody legal aid provision in present day Nigeria. This study will employ a socio-legal approach to investigate the root causes of Nigeria’s limited legal aid scheme. It will also focus on the relationship between law and society and will employ appropriate empirical research methods for an in-depth understanding of significant causal factors that influence legal aid provision in Nigeria. These factors will include an examination of Nigerian legal institutions, legal processes, and legal behaviour,1 particularly how legal institutions and legal processes affect individuals and how they are perceived by ordinary citizens and potential recipients of legal aid. This research considers the potential for other sources of law, and other legal institutions, such as customary legal systems, to be used as an additional, credible way to access, develop and expand legal aid provision in Nigeria. This study adopts two qualitative techniques: semi-structured telephone interviews and self- administered questionnaires, which were completed and returned via email. The request for respondents was launched on social media. In total, fifteen respondents partook in the study: twelve via self-administered questionnaires and three via telephone interviews. The inquiry was focused on a people’s perspective, the respondents were a variety of ages above 18, and evenly distributed by gender. They were spread across North Central, South West, South East and South South geopolitical zones of Nigeria. Therefore, they are not representative of all the regions in Nigeria; for this reason, the study was not able to capture all ethnic groups and their customary practices. However, within the 15 observations, coverage was obtained from ethnic groups that represent the Yoruba, Igbo, Delta and Kogi regions. Some of the participants were recruited through a snowball sampling strategy by primary participants. Data was analysed, and preliminary codes were established using in vivo coding procedure to categorise findings and generate key themes that could help address the research question and objectives driving the study. Hence, six key themes were uncovered. The findings of the study reveal the various perspectives on the matter of legal aid and of customary legal practice, including the prospect of expanding the scheme through customary legal systems. The research also highlighted the limited scope of legal aid and the importance of custom and tradition in the daily activities of individuals who are bound by them. It also 1Banakar Reza and Travers Max (eds.) (2005) ‘Introduction to Theory and Method in Socio-Legal Research’ Oxford, Hart p. x. ii uncovered the need to develop customary legal systems to further support and protect the rights of individuals that are embedded in their customary practices. This study presents an original contribution to knowledge on access to alternative legal institutions for the protection of legal rights via legal aid. The findings of this thesis also contribute to socio-legal studies, which are not well represented in Nigerian legal research. iii Acknowledgements I give my wholehearted gratitude to God for the grace, direction and wisdom bestowed on me all through this journey. My heart felt gratitude goes to my Director of Studies, Professor Kofi Oteng Kufuor for believing in me.

  • Legal Clinics and Professional Skills Development in Nigeria
    International Journal of Clinical Legal Education Issue 17 Legal Clinics and Professional Skills Development in Nigeria S.K Mokidi and C.A. Agbebaku* Introduction The educational sector has a direct bearing on the social, economic, political and scientific development of a nation hence there have been increased anxieties, in recent times, about the deteriorating state of Nigeria’s educational system� The growing concerns stem from the quality of our university graduates, which has become less than satisfactory and the law graduates are no exception� Thus there is a growing demand for reforms not only in the training of lawyers but of the entire educational system in Nigeria� The declining professional skills of lawyers has taken an alarming trend over the last decade with the result that, clients most often do not get value for money paid for legal services and society does not also feel the much needed impact of lawyers� The present situation is attributed to a number of factors ranging from inadequate curriculum, inadequate manpower and training facilities both in the universities and the Nigerian Law School, to unfavourable government educational policies� The challenges confronting the 21st century Nigerian lawyer are growing every day� Some fifty years ago not many people in Nigeria knew about the computer or knew about Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) test or how to apply it in evidence� Today the computer is a necessary household facility in Nigeria; today we are faced with the problem of how to apply electronic generated evidence� The

    Greener Journal of Social Sciences ISSN: 2276-7800 Vol. 2 (1), pp. 009-018, February 2012. Research Article Egba Indigenes in the Politics and Political Development of Nigeria. *K. A. Aderogba, B. A Ogunyemi and Dapo Odukoya Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Tai Solarin University of Education, Ijebu-Ode, Nigeria. *Corresponding Author’s Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Egba indigenes have been very prominent in political history of Nigeria. The objective of the paper is to examine the political development of Nigeria and the roles played by Egba indigenes. Abeokuta founded in 1830 has been a notable settlement in Nigeria. The Egbas have been significant members of ruling political parties. They have contributed significantly to the political development of Nigeria. The likes of Adetokunbo Ademola, the Ransome Kuti family, Madam Tinubu, George Sodeinde Sowemimo, Wole Soyinka, Moshood Kashimawo Abiola, Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo, Olusegun Osoba, Dimeji Bankole and others cannot be forgotten in the political history and political development of Nigerian. The researchers listened to a number of radio and television documentary programmes. News paper cuttings, magazines and journals were read. The paper used oral interview conducted with some retired and active political party chieftains, the monarchs, and notable members of Nigerian public. Providence has bestowed it upon them to play active parts in the political affairs of Nigeria. Not even a single ethnic group has ever had it so good and in the political history and development of the country. However, whoever is in power needs to be supported and encouraged to move the nation ahead . Key Words: Egba indigenes, politics, political development, Nigeria.
