This Article focuses on Nigeria’s recent attempts to regulate the processing of personal information within its jurisdiction. This inquiry is pursued through the analytical prism of legal transplantation. The Article exposes serious failings within the Nigerian legislative process and casts a critical eye on the injudicious and indiscriminate borrowing of foreign laws undertaken by Nigeria’s regulatory authorities in their quest to join the ever-growing ranks of the nations with their own data protection laws. This Article also provides a veritable lesson in the potential dangers of legal transplantation.

This paper inquires into the operation of the Act within the religious sphere. It seeks to explore the basis upon which charitable recognition was accorded within this sphere before the Act and to assess how far the law that was previously in force has been preserved, modified or rendered inoperative by the provisions of the Act. Three fundamental dimensions of the legal regime governing religious charities are especially relevant to this inquiry. The first dimension encompasses the elusive quest for the meaning of religion in the charitable sense. The second focuses on the long-standing requirement that religious purposes must be beneficial to the public in order to be charitable. The third is concerned with the human rights implications of conferring or withholding charitable status within the religious domain. Each dimension is examined in turn with a view to providing an insight into the complexities and difficulties inherent in the pre-existing law and the extent to which these have been addressed by the reforms contemplated by the Act.
