My Dear, The underlining issue here is, though you and your boyfriend have been together for a while; your relationship may have gotten stale and boring. This is the trap most couples who have been together for some time fall into. There is a high tendency to take each other or the relationship for granted. So, when someone attractive and charming comes into the picture, you pay more attention to him than you should. It can be flattering. The initial feeling for anyone new is always exciting. You probably felt the same way with your fiancé when you first…
The final part of the series on wills and succession. Infant Children What happens to infant children of an intestate (a person who has died without having made a will)? Who has the obligation to join with the surviving parent to take care of the children? This would be determined by the type of marriage contracted by the intestate. Under Statute If the intestate got married under the Act or in church, then statute would apply. This would be the Guardianship of Infants Acts 1886 and The Childs Rights Act. Under the Guardianship of Infants Acts, both the father and…
Sometimes in 2014, some political office seekers promised to tackle unemployment, insecurity and improve standard of living; we bought into their campaign promises. Fast forward from then to now. What has changed? The unemployment indices haven’t improved and insecurity has grown from one zone of the nation to every zone having its own pockets of trouble. One hears that Zamfara state is filled with bandits even in broad daylight. We have a President who has had a job for three years but has been away from work for quite a good number of days during the course of this three…
The sixth part of the series on wills and succession. WHAT NEXT IF YOU FAIL TO SPEAK FROM THE GRAVE What happens to the estate of an intestate (a person who has died without having made a will) would be determined primarily by the nature of his or her marriage. Marriage Under Customary Law The distribution of a deceased’s estate under customary law is based on the customary doctrines of inheritance and succession of property. These doctrines are governed by the general principle of lineal descent along paternal or maternal lines. Paternal lines are lines of descent traced through the…
“You are in my thoughts always”, Anny says as she smiles at him and Zik spreads out his arms in a loving warm invite. Anny rest her head on his broad shoulders as he brushes his lips across her ears in a gentle whisper and tells her – “you are my thoughts”. Anny and Zik started out seeking friendship that was devoid of expectations. Just like any other acquaintance, it was plain and simple. But it took a turn that wasn’t so simple when they found themselves so engrossed in each other that they could hardly stay apart. Their love, as…
The adult of this land The youth Greetings . . . My soul sinks deep down the dawn of culture The inestimable culture of this land and I see beauties and glamour Which now are of value no more Perverted these days by the youth Our pride is now shame and The shame is now our pride For the accursed knowledge of civilization That we now embrace We turn beauty for ashes And also ashes for beauty We are sick and sleep This is a knotty issue No oracle would talk Without speaking of sacrifice No divination will would…
In my quest to live a resourceful, fulfilling and exciting life, I ended up sitting with an amazing life/leadership coach. I wanted to speak with someone who was not my boss, pastor, partner or friend. I knew what I wanted; an outside support without strings, judgment or sympathy. So a coach was it. And no, I’m not talking about some smooth talking motivational speaker but a trained coach who has got kitbag of ideas, resources, tools, examples and experiences to enrich the lives of his clients. I share with you some outstanding insights he tagged the mindsets of extraordinary people.…
The fifth part of the series on wills and succession. WHAT NEXT IF YOU FAIL TO SPEAK FROM THE GRAVE Having considered how to speak from the grave, I think it is also proper to consider what happens when one chooses not to speak from the grave. In essence, what happens to a deceased estate when there is no will? What happens to the estate of an intestate (a person who has died without having made a will) would be determined primarily by the nature of his or her marriage. Marriage Under the Act For a deceased person who is…
In the time of old When cutlass was pen And hoe, a noble school material And cat and mice were fans Father said: Children of polygamous homes Flocked together like brooding chickens Under the moonlight Sharing meal happily without rancour Their joy they shared in love and unity For the land was happy with them It yielded much also for them But today Today Children of a mother Become enemies biting one another With the venom of a viper Stabbing one another With the knife of the wicked Cain Our land is sterile also For tears we give for…
