Anglophone Africa, colonial legacy and the limits of legal transplantation
The legal systems in Anglophone Africa were colonially inherited from Britain. Even after achieving political independence in the 1990s, neocolonialism continues to be Africa’s Achilles heel in acquiring jurisprudential independence. African lawmakers and judges continue to transplant English statutes and case law wholesale without tailoring them to suit African life. A major consequence of this trend is that African law is pluralistic and vacill…
The overdependence of African courts and businesses on English law and forum
The uncritical transplantation of English law by Anglophone-African legislators and judges, and their failure to sufficiently adapt English legal concepts to suit the idiosyncratic socioeconomic conditions in Africa, arguably contribute to the perpetuation of English law's hegemony therein. It is argued that the overdependence on English law and courts by African businesses in resolving contractual disputes is not necessarily due to any alleged s…
Black Bodies in America as the Metaphors for Oppression, Poverty, Violence, and Hate
Black people in America have often been labeled outlaws, deviants, and nonconformists who are disinterested in complying with the laid down rules. However, from a long range experience dating back to slavery, they recognize that rules in the American context whether the Slave Codes, Black Codes, Jim Crows, or the contemporary law, are machinations of the legal system to perpetuate oppression and violence against Blackness. Toward self-preservatio…
Assesing the Roles of Race and Profit in the Mass Incarceration of Black People in America
Shortly after the alleged discovery of America and its vast expanse of land waiting to be cultivated with cash crops using cheap human labor, millions of Africans fell victims and were kidnapped to work as slaves in American plantations for about four centuries. Even though it has been over 150 years since the official abolition of slavery in America, the effects of the 400 years of enslavement continue to reverberate: irrespective of the blackle…
Remedying the defects in India's credit and insolvency frameworks with adapted solutions from the Anglo-American legal scholarships
The law governing credit transactions in India is compartmentalized and concomitantly poses difficulties to contractual parties and access to credit: the overall effect of this is already being felt owing to the country's low rank on the 'getting credit' indicator of the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business Report 2020. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 (Code), being almost a mirror-image of the English Insolvency Act 1986, has some inherent…
Systemic Racism, Police Brutality of Black People, and the Use of Violence in Quelling Peaceful Protests in America
The Trump Administration and its mantra to ‘Make America Great Again’ has been calibrated with racism and severe oppression against Black people in America who still bear the deep marks of slavery. After the official abolition of slavery in the second half of the nineteenth century, the initial inability of Black people to own land, coupled with the various Jim Crow laws rendered the acquired freedom nearly insignificant in the face of poverty an…
Towards Reforming Nigeria's Secured Transactions Law
In response to the inability of micro, small and medium scale enterprises (MSMEs) to access credit to finance their business operations, the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria passed the Central Bank of Nigeria (Registration of Security Interests in Movable Property by Banks and Other Financial Institutions in Nigeria) Regulations, No 1, 2015. The purport of this regulation is, among other things, to ensure that MSMEs can use items of person…
