J.Protection of women and children has been the international challenge that the world has been battling to surmount. As a result, gender issues have become a recurrent theme in local, national and international gatherings. In spite of the efforts that have been dissipated so far to combat this menace, particularly at the global level, the challenge still remains. This is due to the fact that most gender issues are deeply rooted in the cultures of the people and that should demand for a grass root approach to address them. In light of that recognition, this article examines how the law of Edo State protects women and children from unfair customs and discriminatory practices. It discusses the cultures of Edo State people, their peculiarity and how those cultures violate the rights of women and children. Thereafter, different mechanisms adopted to protect them are also discussed and recommendations are made on how the challenge can be addressed.Item Risk and frustration as applied in sale of goods: who bears the brunt of unforeseen contingencies?(Department of Jurisprudence and Private Law, Faculty of Law, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria, 2016-02) Osuntogun, A. J.Item Taiwo, Elijah Adewale: The implementation and protection of the right to education in Nigeria(College of Law, Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria, 2013-04) Osuntogun, A. J.Item Nemo dat rule in Nigeria: charting the path for reform in sale of goods(Department of Private and Business Law, Faculty of Law, University of Ibadan, 2012) Osuntogun, A. J.This paper addresses the problem associated with transfer of goods by a non-owner in order to develop a suitable mechanism to address the problem. It confirms that the attempts made to resolve the problem equitably between the two conflicting parties has not been an easy task because of the jurisprudential and ideological leanings relating to the dispute. After a critical examination of the nemo dat rule and its exceptions, it posits that contrary to the argument of some scholars, sale made by a non-owner with the authority and consent of the owner is not an exception to the nemo dat rule. It recommends a consumer protection approach as a suitable mechanism that can be adopted in adjudicating and regulating disputes between the owner of goods and the innocent buyer in good faith. The benefit of the approach is that it recognizes the general rule but supports recourse to a suitable exception if the facts of a particular case justify it; thus no interest of any party is deliberately jettisoned.Item Interests of developing countries and the consensus principles of the WTO world trade organization(Ibadan University Press, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2012-11) Osuntogun, A. J.In this Article, I have attempted an examination of the process of decision-making in the WTO. This consideration was provoked by the attribution of the Doha Round Negotiations impasse to the way the WTO makes decision in addition with the spate of criticisms against the WTO and the multilateral Trade Regime. I have attempted to answer the question whether the problem with Doha Round Negotiations lies in the way and manner the multilateral decision is made. I consider the alternatives proposed by scholars to replace consensus and the principle of Single Undertaking. I am not persuaded that the adoption of any of the alternative is the lasting solution to the problem of the WTO. A change of decision-making process of the WTO particularly a replacement of consensus rule and the principle of Single Undertaking is not an antidote to the problem of WTO. The emerging issue in the multilateral trade is that of development particularly in the developing and least developed countries. Economic growth of multilateral trade may not mean the same thing as development but how the negative impacts of global trade could be cushioned is the challenge that could bring lasting solution to the problem of the organization.Item Procurement law in Nigeria: challenges in attaining its objectives(Sweet & Maxwell, 2012) Osuntogun, A.
