Why are Nigerians and citizens of other sub-Saharan African countries hesitant to use formal modern courts and what are they more likely to use instead for dispute resolution?
What will be an ideal response?
In Nigeria, the modern courts are considered ineffective, irrelevant, and lacking credibility—making the use of traditional courts more attractive. Other reasons reported by adults in sub-Saharan Africa include the long distance required to get to the regional capital where the formal court is found, compared with the alternatives--the tribal chief or religious leader—who are only steps away.
