There has been dense discussions on the trial and especially, the bail conditions of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra – Nnamdi Kanu – recently at the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja. It’s quite unruly for lawyers or specialists in law, especially specialists in criminal law to conclude that the Federal High Court’s ruling and bail conditions are too severe. At most, the bail conditions is a confluence of acceptable conditions and some which are unacceptable – because they touch on constitutional provisions in Chapter 4 of the Nigerian Constitution.

Legal Perspective on Discrimination And Challegenges Faced By Illegitimate Children| Motunrayo Olaleye
INTRODUCTION
This topic reminds me of
primary school days. It was okay to call each other names such as big head,
mad, stupid or even more painful things like fat and dumb but never ever call
someone a bastard. It was offensive, derogatory and mean-spirited.
That was a taboo and only
a child spoiling for a serious fight would go in that direction. Discrimination
by circumstance of birth is however not limited to children bickering and it
remains a glaring reality in our society, despite modernization and
development.

Taxation And Investment In A 3rd World Economy- A First World Approach | Olajide Ademola Omosebi
ABSTRACT
In
the second half of the twentieth century, the emergence of scores of new states
has made international politics and economics truly global for the first time
in history. At the same time, technology has made it possible for nearly every
country to participate in events in every part of the world as they occur.
Unfortunately, the explosion has not been accompanied by similar increase in
knowledge. The continents interact but they do not learn from each other.

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) & UK Bribery Act (UKBA) Takeaways for Companies doing business in Nigeria
By Legalnaija 3:37 AM
Background
For investors looking to
do business and companies doing business in Nigeria, there are myriad
considerations. Navigating the business landscape without falling foul of the
provisions of the UK Bribery Act 2010 (UKBA) and the US Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act 1977 (FCPA) should be a key consideration. These laws did not
come into force recently, but their application to Nigeria has never been more
relevant than now. The present leadership got elected on the promise of rooting
out corruption and has pursued its anti-corruption stance with more vigour than
any other democratically elected government. On the other hand, the leadership
has taken measures to encourage both foreign and domestic investors to do
business in the country.
