A Nigerian law student has stirred conversation online after posting a video discussing the legal rights of people under 21.
The clip, shared by AskyGRN on X (formerly Twitter), features the student, known as Barrister Amida, offering a mix of humor and controversy while explaining aspects of contract law.
In her remarks, she pointed out that many young Nigerians are not fully aware of their legal protections. She highlighted that anyone under the age of 21 is legally considered an “infant” and may have limited responsibility when entering certain agreements.
Barrister Amida explained that minors are typically not bound by most contracts, except in cases involving essential needs like food or basic necessities, and even then, their obligations might be restricted.
She also noted that individuals under 21 who borrow money might not be legally required to repay it, as they are deemed incapable of forming fully binding contracts.
