2 distinct legal frameworks in Nigeria you must know!

1. Islamic Law (Sharia) is based on Islamic principles and interpretations of the Quran and Hadith. It applies mainly to personal matters for Muslims — such as marriage, inheritance, and family issues.
2. Common Law is derived from judicial decisions, customs, and statutes. And it governs most civil matters like contracts, property, and commercial transactions.

In Nigeria, we operate a dual legal system – Sharia Law for Muslims (in some states) and Common Law inherited from British colonial rule.

Knowing the difference can help you:

1. Make better legal decisions
2. Avoid costly mistakes
3. Understand your rights clearly

Legal awareness is protection.
