Family Law and Succession in Nigeria

The family is the nucleus of the society and every individual is from one.  Also, everyone comes with a personal name and a family name.  The root of most misdemeanour and flawed character is traceable to the family of origin. There are many demographic and social trends which generally affect family law and particularly the concept of marriage thus creating a need to find solutions to some of the challenges of the 21st century family. In recent times, the hitherto sanctity of marriage has been challenged and even the laws thereto have been reviewed in some jurisdictions, this calls for serious analytical probing.
