No let pressure make you sign high pressure

"Barr Tee please advise me.My husband and I built our house together. I contributed money from my salary throughout.

But he insisted the documents be in his name alone because he said it was faster. We are now divorcing and he is saying the house is his because his name is on everything. Is he right?"

What do you think about this?🤔

You don get will, abi you dey wait till you clock 80?

You don't need to be 80 before you write a will.

You have property, savings, investments or a family? Start planning now.

Nobody knows tomorrow.

Have you written yours?

Yesterday, I said: “Truth doesn’t win a case in court. Facts do.”

Some of you asked, “Barr, isn’t truth and facts the same thing?” No o. Let me explain 👇

🥢 Truth is what actually happened.

🥢 Facts, in a court case, are the matters you can establish with admissible evidence documents, messages, receipts, bank records, witnesses and so on.

For example, your neighbour borrows ₦200,000 from you. No agreement, no receipt, no witness just, “I trust you.”

He later pays you ₦150,000 in cash and then denies ever borrowing money from you.
The truth is You know he owes you ₦50,000.

Now, the problem is , how do you prove it?

Where is the evidence of the ₦200,000 loan? Where is the evidence of the ₦150,000 repayment?

If he denies the transaction and you cannot establish your case with sufficient evidence, the court cannot simply decide based on what you know happened.

That is why I always say this, document your transactions.

Save the bank alert. Keep the receipt. Screenshot the conversation. Put the agreement in writing.

Because when wahala starts,“But I’m telling the truth!” may not be enough.

Give the truth some evidence.

Avoid avoidable wahala.

Landlords, if only you knew how difficult it can be to lawfully evict a difficult tenant, you wouldn’t joke with due diligence before handing over your property.

Know who you’re letting into your property.
Prevention is often easier than eviction.

Truth doesn’t win cases in court. Facts do.

You may be telling the truth, but if you cannot prove your case with credible evidence, the court may not be able to rule in your favour.

In court, bring facts. Not just your story.
