'A Critique of the Nigerian Rape Law'
I am elated that this particular chapter has been concluded nicely✨.

I dedicate this project to every woman, girl, boy or man who is a victim of Rape in Nigeria and the Law fails to either recognize the act or award Justice accordingly.

In recent years, there has been a global surge in the enactment and awareness of data protection and privacy laws. While drawing comparisons to similar provisions in other jurisdictions, this article by TEMPLARS Partner, Ijeoma Uju, and Associates, Nafisa Haliru and Ruqayyatu Umar, examines the legal framework in Nigeria, especially regarding the rights to object and opt-out, and analyses the limitations of opt-out provisions in unsolicited emails and SMS.

Nigeria has taken significant steps by enacting the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA), 2023 through the Nigerian Data Protection Commission (NDPC). The NDPA aligns with global data protection standards and safeguards citizens' fundamental right to privacy under the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999. Despite this, significant challenges persist, particularly the widespread violation of the right to opt-out by data controllers and processors.

The recent judgment of the High Court of Lagos State in Tokunbo Olatokun v Polaris Bank Limited, demonstrates the limitations of opt-out provisions. Data controllers must implement systems that promptly process these requests, or they could face severe penalties under the NDPA. To ensure compliance and avoid potential fines, businesses must treat data protection as an opportunity to build trust with customers and prioritize privacy rights.

Nigeria has made huge strides in data protection with the enactment of the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA), 2023, under the Nigerian Data Protection Commission (NDPC). This law aligns with global standards and upholds citizens’ right to privacy under the 1999 Constitution. Despite these advancements, some challenges remain, particularly violations of the right to opt-out from unsolicited emails and SMS by data controllers and processors. In an article by @TEMPLARS_law Partner Ijeoma Uju and Associates Nafisa Haliru and @Ruqayya_Modibbo analyzes Nigeria’s legal framework on opt-out provisions, comparing it with global practices and highlighting existing limitations.

I hope next year everyone forgets about the concept of “cringe” and decides to be corny as hell. Be as passionately heartfelt as you can about stuff you love. Where has apathy and cynicism gotten us? We’re all stressed, repressed, depressed

I looked at her as sleep vanished from my eyes.
"Can you please talk? Have you two met before now?"

She moved closer and hugged me tightly. I pulled away, stood up from the bed, and faced her. At that moment, I could hear my own heartbeat, as if waiting for a b*mb to go off.

I was in a terrible accident a couple days back, I was driving, and I came out of this accident with just a minor cut on my head and some bruises.

I just want to say thank you to God and I'm extremely grateful.
