What we should avoid in marriage.

In order to maintain a healthy and successful marriage, it is important to avoid certain behaviors and attitudes. Here are a few things to avoid:


1. Lack of communication: Avoid suppressing your feelings or failing to express your needs and concerns. Open and honest communication is vital for a strong relationship.

2. Neglecting quality time: Avoid taking your partner for granted and neglecting to spend quality time together. Make an effort to create shared experiences and maintain a strong emotional connection.

3. Disrespect and criticism: Avoid belittling or disrespecting your partner. Treat them with kindness, empathy, and respect, even during disagreements.

4. Ignoring problems: Avoid ignoring or sweeping issues under the rug. Address problems as they arise and work towards finding solutions together.

5. Infidelity: Avoid betraying your partner's trust by engaging in infidelity. Building and maintaining trust is crucial for a healthy marriage.

6. Lack of compromise: Avoid being rigid and unwilling to compromise. Marriage requires give and take, and both partners should be willing to meet each other halfway.

7. Poor financial management: Avoid financial irresponsibility and lack of transparency regarding money matters. Establish open communication and shared financial goals.

8. Neglecting self-care: Avoid neglecting your own self-care and personal growth. Taking care of yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally will contribute positively to your marriage.

Remember, every marriage is unique, and it's important to continuously work on the relationship and adapt to each other's needs.

Section 83 and the Myth of Judicial Silence in Party Politics

The recent assertion by my brother, Festus Okoye Esq, that lawyers have become scapegoats in internal party conflicts owing to their recourse to the courts calls for careful constitutional and judicial interrogation. At the centre of this debate lies Section 83 of the Electoral Act 2026, particularly the suggestion that it absolutely ousts the jurisdiction of the courts over the internal affairs of political parties. With the greatest respect to lawyers who are holding this view, that broad interpretation may appear overstretched and not constitutionally sustainable. Section 83(5) of the Electoral Act, read in isolation, appears to bar courts from entertaining disputes relating to party internal issues absolutely.  On a literal reading, it suggests a legislative intent to shield political parties from judicial scrutiny. That may not absolutely be true. Such a construction ignores a foundational principle of Nigeria’s constitutional order, which is the fact that...

Justice Delivery and Prevailing Conflicting Judgments: An Imperative for Urgent Judicial Reforms

I had the rare  privilege of participating as a panelist at the Biennial Law Week of the Nigerian Bar Association, Anaocha Branch, Anambra State this weekend,  where distinguished Professors of Law, Justices of various courts, Senior Advocates of Nigeria, and legal scholars gathered to interrogate one of the most pressing challenges confronting the Nigerian judiciary today: "the growing menace of conflicting judgments and the urgent need for judicial reforms". The topic was not only timely but fundamental to the survival of public confidence in the administration of justice. A judiciary that speaks with contradictory voices weakens the rule of law, undermines democratic stability, and erodes citizens’ faith in the courts as impartial arbiters of justice. Conflicting judgments occur when courts of coordinate jurisdiction issue inconsistent decisions on the same subject matter, thereby creating uncertainty and confusion in the legal system. Unfortunately, this distu...
