| dc.description.abstract | Abstract Domicile is one of the foreign concepts of law received into the Nigerian legal system through the colonial nexus that existed with England. This concept has been subjected to various reforms in its country of origin to meet the societal needs and attain its ultimate aims which is justice. The same cannot be said of Nigeria which still sticks to the old concept as holistically received from England. Although, i is not in doubt that the application of the doctrine of domicile has been successful in addressing the personal law issues in Nigeria, it is not clear whether the application has been able to meet the yawning and expectations of the people and ultimately attain social justice. It is on this consideration that this article is premised on examining the applications of the doctrine of domicile under the Nigeria legal system as an instrument of social justice. | |
