Nigerian Laws, apart from customary law, are greatly influenced by
A. English Law
B. English Decree
C. English Edicts
D. English Orientals
E. English Courts

Answer: A

Explanation:
The correct answer is “A. English Law.” This is because Nigerian laws, historically, were significantly shaped by English common law and legislation, especially during the colonial period when Nigeria was under British rule. The other options do not represent actual sources of influence in the same way. For example, “English Decree” and “English Edicts” are not recognized legal frameworks in the historical influence of Nigerian law.
