Abstract

The custom and tradition of Nigeria is an outgrowth from the history of the society. In this regard, customary law emanate from the spirit of the people. However, it has been observe that by the locally made Wills Law of some state in Nigeria, it recognize and preserve the Nigerian’s customary practice of intestate succession. However, the Wills Act of 1837 which applies to all state except state that have enact their wills law, seem to create a limitation on customary intestate succession. It is in this regard, that this study adopts a hybrid method of research in analysing the statutory preservation and limitation of Nigeria’s customary practice of intestate succession by the wills laws and Act in Nigeria. The study made use online survey questionnaires sent to 308 legal practitioners (randomly selected) in the various states of the federal republic of Nigeria. A descriptive and an analytical statistic were used to analyse 308 respondent responses to the questionnaire. The study found that 76% of the respondent identify that Wills Act places customary limitation on customary intestate succession and they prefer the Wills Laws of 1958, given it preservation of the Nigerian custom and traditions concerning intestate succession. It was therefore, concluded and recommended that there is a need for some of those states that still applies the Wills Act of 1837, to enact or amend the Wills Act to recognised customary intestate succession.

Abstract

Though it can be argued that the essence of the Nigerian entertainment industry meant to entertain the general public, however, it is apt to opine that the Nigerian entertainment industry also has the duty to educate, pass informative messages, and model the character of young adults and children within Nigeria. However, it has been observed that the majority of the content creation within the Nigerian entertainment industry is becoming very sexually dissipated, decadent, and corrupting the Nigerian’s child morals. It is in this regard, that this study embarks on a hybrid method of study concerning the legal and ethical issues of uncensored content creation in the Nigerian entertainment industry. In this regard, 304 questionnaires were sent to respondents resident in Nigeria. The study found that there are legal frameworks censoring content creation within the Nigerian entertainment industry. However, there are still high incidences of sexually dissipated content that could corrupt the good morals of the Nigerian child. It was therefore concluded and recommended that to effectively modeled the morals of the Nigerian child, there is a need for judicial activism and various stakeholders to swing the law into action in curtailing incidences of uncensored content creation within the Nigerian entertainment industry.

Abstract

The development of a nation relies on technological advancements and innovations. It is evident in the progress of countries such as the USA, China, and Russia, which are considered developed nations due to the contributions of their scientists and technicians. In contrast, Nigeria and many other African countries are categorized as developing nations primarily due to the slow pace of innovation. Despite this, the legal process of obtaining protection or a patent for inventions poses a significant challenge for scientists and technicians in Nigeria. In this regard, the study employs a hybrid research method to examine the issues and challenges related to the protection of inventions in Nigeria. A descriptive and analytical approach is used to analyze the data by distributing 253 questionnaires to respondents across various geopolitical zones in Nigeria. The findings reveal a limited number of scientists and technicians involved in technological innovation, and there are obstacles to obtaining patents or protection for inventions in Nigeria. These challenges often deter scientists and technicians from investing more effort in technological innovation. Therefore, it recommended and concluded that, for practical and improved technological innovation in Nigeria, the government should create an enabling environment and review the existing legal framework for obtaining patents over inventions.
