Nothing wey my eyes never see since I join this legal profession. You want to divorce your wife but I told you my fee for the entire proceeding is 2 million and you ghosted me since then. You even went to your status to post you and your wife’s picture with ‘no devil can separate us’ caption.

I'm putting together a free guide:

Sharing = helping another Nigerian entrepreneur avoid an expensive mistake.
Something nobody tells you about being a Nigerian lawyer:
Your most important skill isn't arguing in court.
It's reading people.
Knowing when a client needs reassurance vs information.
Knowing when a negotiation can be resolved vs when it needs to escalate.
How social media content theft works — and how to stop it in Nigeria 🧵
1/ Someone screenshots your content and reposts it without credit. This is copyright infringement.
2/ Someone uses your photo/design in their paid ad. This is commercial infringement — a higher violation.
5/ Second step: report to the platform (DMCA for US platforms — Instagram, Facebook, YouTube — all have infringement reporting).
6/ Third step for serious cases: a lawyer's cease and desist letter with a deadline.
7/ If ignored — Federal High Court. You have a case.
Myth: If someone breaches a contract, you're automatically entitled to everything they owe you.
In Nigerian law, you have a DUTY TO MITIGATE — meaning you must take reasonable steps to reduce your own loss.
