DO YOU KNOW THAT SCHOOL OWNERS OR PROPRIETORS NEED MORE THAN JUST BUSINESS NAMES TO CONFER CORPORATE PERSONALITY ON THEIR ESTABLISHMENTS?

Now let's see what the law says👌

On March 4, 2022, the CAC directed that schools, academies, and similar institutions can no longer be registered as business names because such institutions require corporate attributes—perpetual succession, capacity to contract, and ability to issue certificates—which business names lack.

Under Section 814 CAMA 2020, business-name registration only recognizes the name, while Section 818 CAMA 2020 confirms that it does not confer corporate personality, nor the ability to sue or be sued in that name.

Since educational institutions must possess corporate personality, Section 41 CAMA 2020 makes company incorporation the proper structure, granting perpetual succession and capacity to sue or be sued and issue certificates.

Accordingly, new schools must register as companies, and existing ones registered as business names should upgrade.

IGP said he arrested Sowore for calling him useless...
Is there anyway in which the IGP has shown to be useful to Nigerians?
Does the IGP have the locus standi to arrest any citizen for calling him useless?

What's your legal or layman's view on this?

WOMEN, WHILE DONATING YOUR EGGS, KNOW THIS!

In case u think there is no statutory regulations on the sales of your eggs as a woman, consider the following 👇👇👇.

Eggs Donation Versus Eggs Selling in Nigeria.

While egg donation itself isn't explicitly illegal, selling eggs is considered a grey area due to the National Health Act's prohibition on exchanging human tissue for money.

The National Health Act of 2014 has provisions that indirectly relate to this issue. Section 53 of the Act criminalizes the exchange of human tissue and blood products for money, which includes eggs. This creates a legal grey area, making it challenging to regulate egg donation and surrogacy.

Do note, the law remains silent until it is invoked but that does not imply total non-existence of it.👌

💡 KNOW YOUR LAW: The Defence of Alibi under Nigeria 🇳🇬 legal system ⚖️

Under Nigerian criminal law, as applied in other jurisdictions, “alibi” simply means “I was elsewhere.”
It’s used when an accused person claims they were not at the scene of the crime when it happened.

But here’s the catch 👇
✅ The alibi must be raised early — preferably during police investigation.
✅ It must be clear and verifiable (where you were, who saw you, etc.).
❌ If strong evidence or witnesses place you at the crime scene, the defense of alibi collapses.

The courts have made it clear in cases like Enejo Abogede v. State and Chukwueke v. State that while alibi is a valid defence, it fails when there are credible evidence linking the accused to the offence.

👉 In sum: Raise it early, back it with facts — or it won’t stand in court.
