There are two stories I want to share with you today, but I'll keep them very brief.

First story is this, last night while I was scrolling through my phone, I heard a loud scream from my sister's room.

I hurried to go find out what was going on. On my way to her room, I bumped into her screaming, "Tell me it's a lie, tell me it's a lie."

I held her and asked her what happened and she said she had just read online that a man/woman can be taken to court for "breach of promise to marry"; that is, if a man/woman promises to marry you but later fails to keep this promise, legal action can be taken against him/her.

She was surprised and wanted to know if this is the true position of the law and I told her yes. Under Nigerian law, you can sue a man/woman for breach of promise to marry (for serving you breakfast.😂😂).

Did you know this ?

The second story is even more interesting.

This morning, I got a distress message from an unknown number saying: "Good morning Barr. I want to file a divorce. Can you prepare the divorce papers so my partner and I can sign?"

I responded that, under Nigerian law, divorce is not as simple as preparing papers for both parties to sign.

That's only possible in the movies.😁

Whether a divorce can be filed depends on the circumstances of the marriage and the facts of the case. It is the nature of your case that will determine whether you can even file for divorce and the appropriate legal process to follow.

So the person went ahead to ask: "What is the first step?" The first most important step is to speak with a lawyer who can assess your circumstances and advise you on the appropriate legal remedy.

A legal consultation session gives you the opportunity to present the facts of your case to the lawyer, and also helps the lawyer properly guide you through the process.

Because, most marriages do not require divorce. Depending on the circumstances, judicial separation may be the more appropriate legal remedy.

This is why obtaining proper legal advice before taking any step is essential. Every case is different, and the right solution depends on its facts.

If you have questions about breach of promise to marry, divorce, judicial separation, or any other family law issue, feel free to visit www.pdpiusandassociates.com or call 0803 894 4639 to speak with a Lawyer .

Remember, ignorance of the law is no excuse.

INEC PUBLICATION OF CANDIDATES' PARTICULARS AND LEGAL IMPLICATIONS - Pius Danba

Today, the 1st day of August 2026 INEC has published the particulars of all Presidential, Vice Presidential, Senatorial and House of Representatives candidates of all political parties all over Nigeria. There are a number of legal implications.

The first point you should know is that if your candidate's name is not in this list, then he will not be in the election except by way of Court order.

All those claiming that they won primary election or that they won at appeal committee sitting are supposed to have their names published. If it is not on this list then only Court order can amend this list.

The next point is that, this is a golden opportunity given to all Nigerians to scrutinize the credentials of the candidates and confirm that they are qualified for the election.

Nigerians are supposed to check names, date of birth, qualifications of the candidates to be sure they are qualified. This is a statutory opportunity given to all Nigerians by virtue of section 29(3) of the Electoral Act 2026.

This is the time to raise alarm of non qualification of candidates. It is not after the election that you will not begin to argue that the Chigago certifcate is forged or that there was a previous drug conviction or that he is not of age or that he is a Cameronian etc.

So do not vilify the judiciary later when you are late and the Supreme Court says this is a pre-election case. You can not shirk away from your duty and later put blame on the judiciary.

Ignorance of the law is no defence.
