Minimum Break Time for Workers.
By Onyekachi Umah, Esq., LL.M, ACIArb (UK)

Introduction:
Irrespective of location, nature of employment, type of employer and the often selfish policies and manuals of employers, every worker in Nigeria is entitled to break in a day. A federal law in Nigeria provides the minimum duration of daily breaks for workers in Nigeria. However, (may be out of ignorance or recklessness), many employers and their human resource teams rarely obey the Labour Act. And many of the offenders are not even aware that violating the Labour Act is a criminal offence.

This work focuses on the compulsory minimum duration for breaks in a day for workers in Nigeria. It mentions the...

Naming and Shaming of Suspects: Lawful or Unlawful?
By Onyekachi Umah, Esq., LL.M, ACIArb (UK)

Introduction:
For every crime, there is a punishment, and publicly disgracing a criminal could be a punishment. A criminal is different from a criminal suspect and as such, public disgrace (naming and shaming) of a criminal may not apply to a criminal suspect. This work answers this question; “Naming and Shaming of Suspects: Lawful or Unlawful?”. It considers the definition of “Naming and Shaming”; the status of a suspect; the practice and threat for naming and shaming in Nigeria; and the....

By Onyekachi Umah, Esq., LL.M, ACIArb (UK)

Hence, lawyers play a vital role in tenancy relationships and must be....

How to Lawfully Adopt a Child in Nigeria. 
By Onyekachi Umah, Esq., LL.M, ACIArb (UK)

Introduction:  
Yes, not all child adoptions are lawful. Adopting a child without adherence to the law is kidnapping and child trafficking. Expectedly, all persons involved in such are to be prosecuted in court by the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) or other law enforcement agencies. There are many reasons for a child to be adopted (taken in and cared for) by persons that are not his/her biological parents. From the desire to have a child, the genuine need to....
