DIVINE TECHNIQUES OF DEFENSIVE DRIVING BY EVANG. DANIEL IDAKWO (FOB)- BOOK REVIEW

Image
The author’s style can best be described as simple although he makes use of personifications a lot. There are 10 chapters in the book and chapter 1 is brief, blaming both the driver and portholes for road accidents. He however states that 99% of road crashes are caused by over speeding. A good combination of verses and points raised in this chapter. The principles stated in this book can be applied to every aspect of life.   The exactitude of words employed by the author is impressive and amusing at the same time. Interestingly, the book is premised on the Bible and Quran, even though the book has a religious outlook the author makes clear references to real issues based on observations and experiences. Journey management is an interesting aspect and the author makes it clear that there is nothing superstitious about driving stating that some times when there is a fatal crash, people blame it on supernatural occurrences, like attributing an accident to an old witch in the family

EDUCATION AND THE FUTURE OF THE GIRL CHILD

  It is virtually impossible to look into the future, but if one could safely assume what the future may look like with the benefit of hindsight, it would be only but diplomatic to say that the future is not looking too bright, considering the number of onslaughts and misfortunes the nation has suffered, and without hesitation, neither education nor the girl child have been spared. Innocent citizens continue to suffer daily mentally, physically, economically, psychology etc without respite in sight. Access to good education is no longer the problem because, even after securing admission, paying dearly for tuition and other expenses, some students  have not been able to come out of the institution alive. Cases abound where students have been killed for no justifiable reason,  it is disheartening to know that many students especially the female students have suffered rape, kidnap, maiming, terror as well as other forms of violence without any significant action taking against the

COMPARATIVE ENFORCEMENT OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS IN NIGERIA AND INDIA - BOOK REVIEW

BOOK TITLE COMPARATIVE ENFORCEMENT OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS IN       NIGERIA AND INDIA BY CHUKWUNONSO DANIEL OGBE This is a well researched book that tries to capture the precepts and practices of fundamental rights enforcement from two different perspectives and jurisdictions. Fundamental rights enforcement is no doubt a very complex area of law and in a nutshell is the nugget of protecting and preserving the rights of every one and the rule of law. The writer in my view is well grounded particularly in this area of law, he is definitely not a stranger. He has without doubt traversed the turbulent atmosphere of the fundamental rights enforcement laws having traversed the Nigerian as well as the Indian procedures which I must add is quite innovative. A well written book, with an impressive style of writing. The book is made up of about 409 pages including sample drafts and supported by about 204 authorities and 12 statutes. The author makes a strong case for the

LAW OF SEXUAL INTERCOURSE IN NIGERIA- BOOK REVIEW

AUTHORED BY CHUKWUNONSO DANIEL O GBE                                                       BOOK REVIEW LAW OF SEXUAL INTERCOURSE IN NIGERIA This is a very interesting book. I most definitely would recommend that everyone who wants to learn and know more about, not just what not to do but what to do when faced with a civil or criminal issue on sexual malfeasance. Sexual offences are unarguably a topic that affects a good number of persons. The writer must be given kudos to, for venturing into such a sensitive area of law. A well written book, with an impressive style of writing, supported by 76 authorities and 16 statutes. The author makes a strong case for the male gender where he argued that "the conventional stance of our courts on the person capable of raping and being raped may not actually represent the true position of the law", in the same vein he succeeded in clearing several controversial issues related to rape against wives, of which we can say that h
