The Short Version
The claim captures a genuine element of Obilade's argument — that judicial reception and enforceability tests are central to how customary law operates in Nigerian courts — but the word "only" materially overstates his position. No direct Obilade quotation supports the exclusive framing. Customary law in Nigeria also derives legal validity from constitutional recognition and community acceptance, which are independent of court reception. The absolute framing converts a defensible partial claim into a misleading one.
