 I N recent times, the Nigerian Judiciary is increasingly being perceived as corrupt. The judiciary is composed of judicial officers who are human beings and therefore subject to the vagaries of human nature in its insidious form. While there are good, intellectually sound and upright judicial officers of impeccable character and integrity in Nigeria, it is sad to say that a very tiny percentage of judicial officers in Nigeria fall below the standard expected of judicial officers in the area of intellectual capability, uprightness, character and integrity and this reflects in the poor quality of judgments delivered by the various courts in Nigeria and the growing problem of conflicting judgments and the attendant confusion it brings in the legal system in Nigeria. In my article on Transactional Justice published sometime in February, 2020, I took the honourable position in admitting that there is a growing disposition to purchasing judgments of judges by the highest bidder.

 Reasons For Studying Sources of Law 1. It affords an understanding of the various means by which the law  governing the society is made or through which it comes into  existence, e.g. through formal Legislative processes in parliament  or through judicial precedents 2. It affords the means by which authoritative written materials are  derived. This constitutes the literary source such as are represented by  the statute books and the various compilations of the annual laws and  the statutes in force including textbooks and monographs, with which  a lawyer should be thoroughly familiar. 3. The study of the sources of law facilitates an understanding of the  process by which law derives its validity. This refers to formal  sources of law such as reflected in the constitution of a country and  the activities of enacting bodies like the National Assembly. 4. A mastery of the sources of law of a given society also enhances an  understanding of the historical factors that have influenced the

There was light. But then what happened? How did life arise on the third rocky planet orbiting the unremarkable star at the center of our solar system? Humans have been wondering about the answer to that question probably almost as long as we've been able to wonder. In recent decades scientists have made some gains in understanding the conceivable mechanisms, gradually settling on a possible picture of our origins in the oceans. The idea was that hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the seas, protected from cataclysms rending the surface four billion years ago, delivered the necessary energy and could have sustained the molecules needed. Perhaps not. Water was a necessary ingredient, surely, but that doesn't mean we sprang from oceans, according to researchers Martin J. Van Kranendonk, David W. Deamer and Tara Djokic in our cover story, “ Life Springs .” Oceans, they write, might have spread the needed molecules too quickly for cell membranes and functions to occur. Inst
