My Landlord Just Joined a New Prayer Group
Madam Law, my landlord just joined a new prayer group. Every Friday from midnight to 5 AM, they hold a vigil in the compound with a megaphone and drums right outside my door.

I have work on Saturdays, and my baby is always screaming from the noise.

When I complained, he said if I don't like the move of the spirit, I should pack out. Does his Right to Religion allow him to take away my Right to Sleep?

My Neighbor Destroyed My Fence

Mummy, I am building my house and I just finished my perimeter fence. My neighbor woke up yesterday, claimed that my fence ate 2 inches of his land, and hired boys to hammer down the entire wall.

I have my survey plan, and he has his, but he didn't wait for a surveyor he just used juju and hammers. Can someone destroy property over a 2m inch dispute?

Difference Between Receipt and Deed of Assignment
Many people collect ordinary receipt and start celebrating land ownership. Calm down first 👇

RECEIPT is proof of payment
It simply shows money was paid for the land or property. It does not automatically transfer ownership.

DEED OF ASSIGNMENT transfers interest/ownership. This is the document where the seller formally assigns their rights in the property to the buyer.

RECEIPT is basic evidence
Useful to show transaction happened, amount paid, and date paid.

DEED is stronger legal protection
It contains parties names, property description, terms, signatures, and is the major ownership document buyers rely on.

RECEIPT alone can create problems
If dispute arises, receipt may not be enough to fully prove title.

DEED should be stamped and registered

Proper perfection strengthens your interest and public record.

Best practice
Collect receipt and execute Deed of Assignment.

Receipt shows you paid. Deed shows what you paid for is now legally yours.

My Husband Brought In His Mother And Two Sisters
Barrister, my husband and I have been married for 4 years. Suddenly, without asking me, he brought his mother and his two sisters to come and live with us in our 2-bedroom flat permanently.

They have taken over my kitchen, they insult me in their language, and my husband says I have no right to complain because he pays the rent.

Do I have a legal right to say who lives in my home even if I am a housewife?

I Spent My Own Money To Install Beautiful Kitchen Cabinet
Madam Law, I just moved out of my old apartment. I spent my own money to install beautiful kitchen cabinets, a water heater, and fancy chandeliers because the house was empty when I moved in.

Now the landlord says I cannot remove them because they are 'attached to the building' and have become his property.

He even locked the gate so my moving truck couldn't take my things. Who owns the fittings I bought with my hard earned money?

Civil Defence Dragged My Business Partner Now I Am In Trouble
Mummy, my business partner owes me ₦2 million and has refused to pay. My neighbor, who is a Civil Defence (NSCDC) officer, told me not to worry.

He took four of his colleagues in full uniform to my partner’s house at 5 AM, dragged him out, and locked him in their cell.

They told him he won't see daylight until he pays me. Now, my partner’s family is saying they will sue ME for kidnapping. Did I do wrong by using the uniform' to get my money?

Payment Before Service: What You Should Know
Many people pay first and start praying later. Before you send money for any service, know these things

1. Know who you are paying
Confirm the person or business is real. Check reviews, referrals, office address, or past work.

2. Get clear details of the service
What exactly are they doing? When will it be completed? What is included? Do not assume.

3. Put it in writing. Even a simple WhatsApp message can help show the agreement. Date, amount paid, and expected result should be clear.

4. Ask about refund policy. If they fail to deliver, what happens to your money?

5. Avoid full payment for risky jobs
For expensive services, staged payment may be wiser than paying everything upfront.

6. Keep proof of payment. Receipt, transfer alert, screenshots, invoice. Save everything.

7. Watch for pressure tactics. Pay now now or lose slot has emptied many accounts.

8. Follow up professionally
After payment, communicate and keep records of updates.

Payment should buy service, not stories and excuses.
