On marriage, I agree that it should not be a thing for the federal government. But we must ask why the local governments lost their popularity on what ordinarily should be their function. It is because of bribery at the local government offices. People have found out that foreign countries don't recognize marriages contracted in the local governments because they could be faked. That is how Ikoyi Registry became popular. There must be a new provision in a new restructured Nigeria to divest the federal government of this function but the local governments must also clean up themselves and earn people's confidence.

I agree with your submission. But we need to revamp the local councils to enable them perform effectively. Thank you.
