Have you ever seen a situation where someone thought saying sorry ended the matter?

If money mistakenly enters your account and you genuinely don’t know who sent it…

What do you think the law expects you to do?

[Nigerian Law Plug @Nigerianlawplug]

Usually, self-defence is examined based on necessity.

If the threat has already stopped and the person is leaving, chasing them to retaliate may no longer qualify as self-defence.

At that point, the law may see the act as retaliation rather than protection.

[Nigerian Law Plug @Nigerianlawplug]

Someone slaps you.

You slap back immediately.

Most people call that self-defence.

But the law usually asks one key question:

Was the force used necessary to stop the attack?

Because self-defence is about protection, not revenge.

[Nigerian Law Plug @Nigerianlawplug]

If someone slaps you and begins to walk away, but you run after them and hit them back, do you think that is still self-defence?

Many tenants in Nigeria believe landlords can increase rent anytime.

But rent is part of a tenancy agreement.

Which means the real question is simple:
What does the agreement say about rent review?
A landlord usually cannot just change rent in the middle of an existing tenancy.

Most Nigerian employees don’t know this.

If you work for it, the law expects you to be paid for it.

Under the Labour Act, wages should be paid promptly after work has been done.

So when salaries keep getting delayed for months…

That may actually raise legal issues.

Police knock on your door without a warrant.
Do you actually have to let them into your house in Nigeria?”

Most people think the answer is obvious.

But the law is not that simple. ⚖️

The person selling you land may not actually have the legal right to sell it.

In Nigerian property law, possession alone does not always mean ownership.

The person occupying the land could be a caretaker, tenant, or family member without authority to sell.

If someone sells land to you but had no legal authority to sell it, do you automatically become the owner because you paid?

Always verify title and authority before paying for land.

Paying rent for many years does not by itself transfer ownership of a property.

Many tenants believe that once they have stayed somewhere for many years and consistently paid rent, the house somehow becomes “theirs.”

That is not how property law works.
