Many people think Nigeria is a lawless place. On the contrary, Nigeria has many laws. Nigerians are not just very good at obeying laws. You have to force them. Or threaten them with arrests or fines before Nigerians start observing laws. Every country in this world has strange laws that raise eyebrows in other places. For instance, a dirty car will attract a hefty fine in Russia. <span style="color: #000000;"><strong>More..</strong></span> <ul> <li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://theinfong.com/2016/06/see-13-symptoms-hiv-test-immediately/" target="_blank">If you see these 13 symptoms, do an HIV test immediately</a></span></li> <li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://theinfong.com/2016/08/7-nigerian-female-celebrities-got-married-men-snatched-women-youll-surprised-see-pictures/" target="_blank">Female celebs who got married to men they snatched from other women (+Photos)</a></span></li> <li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://theinfong.com/2015/11/top-20-bootylicious-african-celebrities-you-need-to-see-whos-1-with-pictures/" target="_blank">Female celebs in Africa with biggest butts – #1 is an eye candy (With Photos)</a></span></li> <li style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://theinfong.com/2016/03/44-countries-nigerian-passport-holders-can-visit-without-a-visa/" target="_blank">44 Countries Nigerian passport holders can visit without a Visa</a></span></li> </ul> Nigeria is no exception. We have a couple of strange and absurd laws you probably didn’t know: <h2>1. Witchcraft law</h2> <a href="http://gistreel.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/wh6.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-184383 aligncenter" src="http://gistreel.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/xwh6.jpg.pagespeed.ic.iF8_3Qzz2B.webp" alt="wh6" width="480" height="512" data-pagespeed-url-hash="2069501963" /></a> You know how Nollywood is often showcasing witchcraft? I don’t know why they are encouraging it since witchcraft is illegal in Naija. Being a witch or wizard is a misdemeanour and carries a jail time of 2 years. <!--nextpage--> <h2>2. The Illegal colour law</h2> <a href="http://gistreel.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/nigerian-soldiers.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-184382 aligncenter" src="http://gistreel.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/xnigerian-soldiers.jpg.pagespeed.ic.ZoTvlf5Tvy.webp" alt="nigerian-soldiers" width="628" height="415" data-pagespeed-url-hash="784401619" /></a> Have you ever seen a private car painted the colour commonly known as “army green”? I bet you haven’t. This is because it is illegal in Nigeria for a private car to be painted army green. Plus everyone is scared of soldiers disfiguring their expensive army green rides and also their faces. <!--nextpage--> <h2>3. Jilted lover law</h2> <a href="http://gistreel.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/ray.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-184384 aligncenter" src="http://gistreel.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/xray.png.pagespeed.ic.oqyVeSgkzg.webp" sizes="(max-width: 532px) 100vw, 532px" srcset="http://gistreel.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/ray.png 532w, http://gistreel.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/ray-150x150.png 150w" alt="ray" width="532" height="533" data-pagespeed-url-hash="2874623244" /></a> Do you know you can sue your fiance or fiancee for refusing to marry you in Nigeria? Yes, that’s a thing in Nigeria. You can sue anybody who promises to marry you then renegades on that promise. Now you know you can drag that cheating bastard to court. <!--nextpage--> <h2>4. Funny Marriage law</h2> <a href="http://gistreel.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/ray2-1.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-184385 aligncenter" src="http://gistreel.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/xray2-1.png.pagespeed.ic.bkmdgu2n7h.webp" sizes="(max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px" srcset="http://gistreel.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/ray2-1.png 528w, http://gistreel.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/ray2-1-150x150.png 150w" alt="ray2" width="528" height="530" data-pagespeed-url-hash="4061392480" /></a> In Nigeria, you can obtain a “jactitation of marriage”. What this simply means is that you can get an order preventing someone from identifying as your spouse. Crazy right?! <!--nextpage--> <h2>5. Caning is Allowed</h2> <a href="http://gistreel.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/teacher_abuse.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-184386 aligncenter" src="http://gistreel.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/xteacher_abuse.jpg.pagespeed.ic.TD5Tb4Afm6.webp" alt="teacher_abuse" width="360" height="480" data-pagespeed-url-hash="1459325027" /></a> The legal age for most things in Nigeria is 18 years. A male offender less than 18 years can be caned in Nigeria. The court can decide to have the offender punished by caning rather than jail time. <span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><b><a style="color: #ff0000;" href="http://www.pin.bbm.com/C001B7774" target="_blank">CLICK NOW</a></b></span> <span style="color: #000000;"><strong>to join our BBM Channel for faster updates</strong></span></span> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>TOP POSTS YESTERDAY</strong></span></p> <ul> <li><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://theinfong.com/2015/02/10-reasons-you-should-stop-eating-instant-noodles-must-see/" target="_blank">10 reasons you should stop eating instant noodles (Must See)</a></span></li> <li><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://theinfong.com/2015/11/the-12-most-memorable-davido-moments-with-pictures/" target="_blank">The 12 most memorable Davido moments that shook Nigeria (With Pictures)</a></span></li> <li><span style="color: #0000ff;"><a style="color: #0000ff;" href="http://theinfong.com/2016/07/18-hilarious-quotes-pete-edochie-thatll-leave-laughing-days-pictures/" target="_blank">18 hilarious quotes by Pete Edochie that’ll leave you laughing for days!
