THE BIGAMY LAW OF LAGOS STATE

Recently Lagos State decriminalized bigamy making it no longer a crime to be married to more than one wife at the same time. A law most people were not even aware existed. The directive came from the office of the then state Governor.


I am concerned because our leaders are no longer interested in enacting laws that would maintain moral equilibrium in society and uphold the sanctity of marriage.
Recently a group of House of Reps members had their visas canceled for soliciting for the services of prostitutes while on official assignment in the United States.

And these are people elected to pass laws binding on an entire country.
If our leaders don't fear God, how can they pass laws that would preserve morals and values in society?
That's why corruption still thrives amongst us.
For ethical reasons and the sake of discipline, let us elect leaders who believe in sound morals. If there are no morals, there would be no justice then imagine how society would be.
We must strive to promote good virtues such as honesty and integrity in leadership.

THE GAINS AND LOSSES OF THE ABSENCE OF MR PRESIDENT: BY UWAKWE ROLAND.

President Muhammadu Buhari has been absent from duty since the last few months on a purported medical checkup in London. Good a thing he legally transferred power to the Vice President who is now the acting President, this is unlike the imbroglio that played out during Yar’adua’s time when the National Assembly had to invoke the doctrine of necessity so as to effectively transfer power to then Vice President Goodluck Jonathan. The problem is that even as an acting President, Yemi Osinbanjo has limited powers to fully assume responsibility as the commander in chief, this is because most of the big government functionaries may still owe their loyalty to Mr President, couple with this, Buhari appointed people of his like minds who may not comfortably work with the acting President that will want to bring his knowledge of law and practice into governance. Hence the long absence of Mr President may eventually result to a slow down of democratic dividends. The above ...

GETTING MARRIED AND BEING SUCCESSFUL AFTER 30

Many people see the big 3.0 as a landmark age. To them at 30 you should have accomplished all your goals, gotten married and had a few kids. This view although popular is sometimes unhealthy , because real success and achievements take time. Not everyone who is unmarried at 30 will marry late or unaccomplished at 30 is a failure. For short term goals and minimal achievements, 30 is fine. I even read about someone bragging on how she had a masters degree and was married with two kids at 30. The question no one asked her was 'what had she done with the masters degree and how her children were faring academically? ' It's not enough to get married and have kids before 30 or even finish a masters degree? Is she fulfilled as a person? Had she discovered purpose and was she on her way to fulfilling it? You see we all want to brag when it seems as if we better than the next person. Alas! Many of us are ignorant. Many Nigerian billionaires became billionaires only after 30, many ...
