"BUT THIS LAW IS TOO HARSH NA! 😭”...
<p><br/></p><p>...Have you ever looked at a rule and thought,</p><p><br/></p><p>“Who even made this thing? 😭😂</p><p><br/></p><p>Or maybe you’ve heard a legal rule and your first reaction was:</p><p><br/></p><p>“Ah-ah! This one no fair ooo!” 😩</p><p>Well… share and talk about something interesting..</p><p><br/></p><p>DURA LEX SED LEX</p><p><br/></p><p>... Before you start wondering what language I’ve brought to your timeline today 😩...</p><p>Well..</p><p><br/></p><p>DURA LEX SED LEX is a Latin expression which means:</p><p><br/></p><p> “The law is harsh, but it is the law”</p><p><br/></p><p>In our everyday Nigerian language:</p><p><br/></p><p>“I know say e hard… but na still the rule” 😭😂</p><p><br/></p><p>It reminds us of something important about the law, sometimes, a legal rule may produce an outcome that a person considers harsh, inconvenient, or even unfair... But simply saying “I don’t like this law” does not, by itself, make the law disappear..</p><p><br/></p><p>As long as the rule remains legally valid and applicable, it is still the rule and is expected to be obeyed, unless it is changed, repealed, or otherwise set aside through the proper legal process</p><p><br/></p><p>Think of it like this:</p><p><br/></p><p>You see a sign that says “NO PARKING” 🚫</p><p><br/></p><p>You park there and say:</p><p>“But I only want to stay for two minutes!” 😭</p><p><br/></p><p>The sign will basically reply:</p><p>“ how two minutes take concern me? Oga go face your punishment...😩 😂</p><p><br/></p><p>Whether we like a rule or not, there are lawful procedures for challenging or changing it. You don't simply ignore the rule because you disagree with it...</p><p><br/></p><p>And that is one of the interesting things about studying law sometimes you don't just learn what the law says; you also learn how the law can be questioned, interpreted, challenged, changed, or applied...😊</p><p><br/></p><p>So, the next time you hear:</p><p>“But that's not fair!” 😩</p><p>Just remember...</p><p>DURA LEX SED LEX</p><p>Meaning:</p><p>“I understand your pain… but na still the law” ...</p><p><br/></p><p>Anyway, make I stop here before una begin say...</p><p>“Elizabeth, abeg translate this one too” ... Me self still dey learn😅🤲 Still please know that the law might be harsh but it is the law and it's for OUR GOOD! 😊</p><p><br/></p><p>.. I am JÉSÙLADÉMI Elizabeth (Zion-Elitepen)...</p>
