Despite the increasing prevalence and significant impact of male rape on the lives of many men in Nigeria, the issue has received limited attention. This study employs a hybrid research methodology to investigate the occurrences of male rape and the challenges in addressing its incidence in Nigeria. A total of 303 questionnaires were distributed to respondents, and the data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical methods. The findings reveal that male rape is indeed a widespread issue in Nigeria, and the existing legal framework is insufficient to effectively address this problem. Additionally, the study highlights that various legal, social, and psychological factors hinder efforts to reduce male rape in the country. The study concludes by emphasizing that rape is not a crime that exclusively affects women, but also constitutes a violent act against men. Therefore, the Nigerian government and stakeholders within the criminal justice system must take urgent steps, through legal reforms and justice mechanisms, to combat the silent but growing crisis of male rape in Nigerian society.

This research aims to investigate and understand the position of wives who marry consecutively and who are not the first wife in the perspective of heirs according to the Compilation of Islamic Law. The research method used is normative-juridical. Analysis of the research results shows that the position of other wives in polygamous marriages is equal in rights to the first wife. Joint property in a polygamous marriage is divided fairly, where the legal consequences of the inheritance of a husband who marries more than once legally are that when the husband dies, the division of joint property in his marriage is half of the joint property obtained with the first wife, and half of the joint property obtained with the second wife, each separately without any mixing of assets. Each wife in a polygamous marriage has the right to her husband's inheritance. The conclusion of this study is that there is no difference in inheritance rights between the first wife and subsequent wives, in accordance with the provisions of Religion and the Compilation of Islamic Law applicable in Indonesia. Recommendations from this research include the need for reform in the Law and incorporated in the omnibus rule of law, especially related to the distribution of inheritance in polygamous marriages, as some laws have accommodated what is implied in the Qur'an and AlHadith. The terms in the law need to be adjusted to reflect fair and balanced principles in accordance with religious values. In addition, wives in polygamous marriages need to pay attention to factors that may limit their inheritance rights and follow religious recommendations.

It is the saying that it is better to pay a good cook than to pay a doctor and also it is essential to eat one meal like a medicine. This quote necessitates the fact that consuming well-processed food is essential for healthy living. However, it has been observed that garri which is considered a staple food in Nigeria, produced from cassava, is often poorly processed (half-baked) in some parts of Nigeria, not concerned with the medical dangers and implications. It is concerning that this study tends to adopt a hybrid method of study in examining consumer awareness concerning the health and legal implications of consuming poorly processed garri. In this regard, 247 questionnaires were distributed to respondents residing within Edo North, Edo State. The data obtained was analyse using a descriptive and analytical method of approach. The study found that most of the garri processes within the region are half-bake, which often contain some cyanide content. The study also found that the majority of consumers are unaware of the health implications of consuming half-baked garri containing cyanide, poorly processed and preserved. Concerning this, the study therefore concludes and recommends that to curb the incidence of poorly processed garri, there is a need spring legal framework to ensure effective enforcement and compliance against poorly processed food. Furthermore, there is also a need for sensitization on the dangers of consuming half-baked garri.

The emergence of the Metaverse as a decentralized digital ecosystem has transformed traditional contract enforcement by introducing smart contracts, self-executing agreements embedded in blockchain systems. This study conducts a comparative legal analysis of the regulatory frameworks governing smart contracts within Metaverse operations in Nigeria and Uganda. Employing a doctrinal legal method, the research critically examines primary legal sources such as statutory laws and case law, alongside scholarly literature, to assess legal recognition, enforceability, and institutional preparedness. The study reveals a significant regulatory gap in Nigeria, where the absence of a comprehensive legal framework creates uncertainty in the enforceability of smart contracts, despite growing blockchain policy initiatives. In contrast, Uganda has established more definitive legal provisions, particularly through its Electronic Transactions and Signature Acts, which explicitly validate digital contracts. The novelty of this study lies in its regional comparative focus on emerging economies and its analysis of how traditional contract principles interact with decentralized digital platforms. The urgency of this inquiry is underscored by the rapid digitalization of commerce, which necessitates timely legal adaptation to prevent regulatory obsolescence and safeguard stakeholders. This research contributes to the discourse on digital governance by proposing a legal reform agenda for Nigeria, advocating for the adoption of a smart contract-enabling framework modeled after Uganda’s approach. Ultimately, it calls for regional and international harmonization to ensure legal certainty, consumer protection, and dispute resolution within Metaverse-driven economies.

The global surge in digital technology has revolutionized various sectors, including Islamic banking. While Indonesia has successfully incorporated digital automation into its Islamic banking system, Uganda's nascent Islamic banking system faces opportunities and challenges in adopting similar technologies. This study uses a hybrid research method with a conceptual approach to explore the prospects and challenges in automating Uganda's Islamic banking system by learning from Indonesia's progress. A total of 306 questionnaires were distributed to Ugandan respondents, and the data were analyzed descriptively and analytically. The findings show that automation has significantly improved the Islamic banking system in Indonesia, a model that Uganda can emulate. However, implementation in Uganda faces legal and socio-economic barriers that may affect its feasibility. This study recommends revising Uganda's legal framework to support and regulate a digitalized Islamic banking system while addressing socio-economic challenges. Ultimately, the study underscores that with the right reforms, automation can improve Uganda's Islamic banking landscape.

This article aims to at least outline and analyze the main problem, namely related to the development of an independent system for filling the positions of BPK members according to the theory of independence of state institutions reviewed through constitutional interpretation in the Law. This research is qualitative research with normative juridical methods. Research was carried out using a legal approach, a conceptual approach and a philosophical approach to the issues raised. In this paper, the author applies techniques for collecting legal materials or data, through documentation or literature studies which are carried out by reading, reviewing, classifying, identifying and understanding legal materials in the form of regulations and books and literature. which is related to the research object discussed in this paper. The analysis of legal materials used applies qualitative, descriptive and prescriptive methods that are oriented towards answering problem formulations. Apart from that, analysis of legal materials also focuses on the inventory aspect of legal materials in the form of soft files and hard files. Manual inventory is carried out on hardfile legal materials, while digital inventory is carried out on legal materials in softfile form. After the inventory, an analysis process is carried out with reference to the legal issues and discussion formulations raised. The finding in this paper is that there is polarization in filling the positions of BPK members which is far from the principle of independence and also prioritizes the supervisory aspect in filling these positions so that the principle of checks and balances is not implemented within the BPK itself. The polarization of filling the positions of BPK members which seems political has resulted in hidden interests which could actually disrupt the independence of the BPK as a state audit institution. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen the BPK institution as a state institution that is in a new space of power known as the inspection space by making changes and additions to concrete and internal regulations in the aspect of filling out BPK members in terms of the theory of state institutional independence

Life per se is not short, but our actions and inaction often result in the shortness of our life. This quote is concerning the fact that in Nigeria and the global standard it is required that during childbirth delivery there should always be a doctor present to avoid complications that may result in the death of the mother or the child. However, in Nigeria, it has been observed that the majority of the childbirth delivery conducted in hospitals or at any other place by local or trained mid-wife are often executed without the involvement or presence of a doctor. In this regard, is it legally and medically in abeyance to conduct childbirth delivery without the aid of a doctor, given the possible complication that may result in loss of life and damage to the mother and child. It is in this regard that this study tends to adopt a hybrid method of study (involving a doctrinal and non-doctrinal) in ascertaining the legal issues and challenges in curtailing mid-wife involvement in child delivery in the absence of a medical doctor. 307 questionnaires were distributed to respondents, and the data obtained were analyzed by adopting an analytical and descriptive method. The study, therefore, found that there are very high incidences of the mortality rate of a pregnant mother and their baby during delivery by mid-wife and nurses given the absence of a doctor. The study further found that though there are laws and ethical codes that regulate childbirth delivery in Nigeria, however, there are challenges that often mitigate the curtailment of mid-wife or nurses involved in childbirth delivery without the aid of a doctor. We thus concluded and recommended that authorities should establish effective regulations and sanctions for midwives or nurses participating in childbirth deliveries without the presence of a doctor.
