@MarufMuhammed4 The absence of written documentation may make proof more difficult, but it does not automatically erase the transaction's existence.
The real issue is not always whether it was documented, but whether it can be proved.

[Shibi ESQ⚖️⚖️⚖️🥰 @fay_teaa]

@LegalNaija Yes, a music licensing fee can absolutely be negotiated.

[Shibi ESQ⚖️⚖️⚖️🥰 @fay_teaa]

@LegalNaija Under Section 1(18)(a)(i) of the Miscellaneous Offences Act, anyone who adulterates drinks to materially alter their quality or composition, intending to sell them as genuine without notifying the purchaser, is liable to imprisonment for up to 14 years without an option of fine.

@LegalNaija Lastly i would also restrict unauthorised alterations, sublicensing and any use that could damage the artist’s reputation. Ultimately, the goal is to protect the artist’s intellectual property while ensuring the deal reflects the song’s commercial value.

[Shibi ESQ⚖️⚖️⚖️🥰 @fay_teaa]

@LegalNaija I would also recommend a limited, non-exclusive licence to preserve the artist’s ability to commercialise the song elsewhere. The agreement should clearly specify the fee, duration, territory, permitted platforms and uses, and renewal terms

@LegalNaija Before accepting the ₦15 million offer, I would conduct a rights audit to establish who owns the musical composition, lyrics and sound recording, including the interests of co-writers, producers and music publishers.

@FabianSani8 This is something we the young lawyers need to hear. Being good at what you do is one thing; making sure the right people know what you do is another.

[Shibi ESQ⚖️⚖️⚖️🥰 @fay_teaa]

@Ikechukwu134 This is so true. Sometimes, people suffer injustice not because the law cannot protect them, but because they don't know their rights or cannot afford to enforce them. Justice should not be a privilege reserved for those who can afford it.

[Shibi ESQ⚖️⚖️⚖️🥰 @fay_teaa]

@RichardSW001 Comparison really is the thief of joy. You can have a beautiful life and still feel like you're failing simply because you're looking at someone else's.

[Shibi ESQ⚖️⚖️⚖️🥰 @fay_teaa]

@CynthiaOzumba Honestly, I agree. The things some people say and do on the internet make you wonder if they're okay mentally and emotionally.

[Shibi ESQ⚖️⚖️⚖️🥰 @fay_teaa]

@focusEsq The question is whether the prosecution should have to prove voluntariness through oral testimony alone when a recording could provide more objective evidence. Perhaps recording should be a safeguard against disputes, even where it is not a strict condition for admissibility.

[Shibi ESQ⚖️⚖️⚖️🥰 @fay_teaa]

@Etaba_agbor Some clients forget that their lawyer is on their side, not there to judge them. Tell your lawyer the ugly truth so they can help you navigate it lawfully, rather than being caught unprepared when the other side brings it up.

[Shibi ESQ⚖️⚖️⚖️🥰 @fay_teaa]

Paying for properties without conducting proper due diligence. The excitement of acquiring property often makes people forget to verify the seller's title. By the time problems arise, recovering their money can become another legal battle.

[legalnaija @LegalNaija]

Lawyers, what's one legal mistake you see people make over and over again?

[Shibi ESQ⚖️⚖️⚖️🥰 @fay_teaa]

@LegalNaija Failing to preserve evidence. People delete messages, discard receipts, ignore written agreements and rely entirely on verbal conversations. When a dispute arises, they suddenly realise how important documentation could have been.

[Shibi ESQ⚖️⚖️⚖️🥰 @fay_teaa]

@LegalNaija Client: "Counsel, I know the evidence is against me, but can't you use your grammar to confuse the judge a little?" 😭😂
