Can Your Landlord Increase Rent Anytime?

No!

A landlord cannot randomly increase rent without proper notice.

For example, under the Lagos Tenancy Law 2011:
• Yearly tenants must be given at least 6 months' written notice before a rent increase.

• Monthly tenants: 1-month notice. You’re not bound to a new rent until:

• Due notice is given

• You agree to the terms

If in dispute, you can report to the Rent Tribunal or file in court.

Oya see ehhh….

If police say make you write statement when dem carry you go station or invite you, no go write Wetin Dey your mind o.

You suppose sabi how to write correct statement wey no go cast if lawyer no dey.

You get Abi?

On a norms, that thing wey you write as witness or suspect, dem go use am tackle you for court.

Good officers full for police force but e get some wey no send your papa, and those ones go wan use your statement blackmail you.

So shine your eye for this statement matter…

No forget say you get right to say you no wan write statement until your lawyer show. Na that one better pass.

But sometimes e dey cause wahala because some kain police officers go force you or dem go tell you say e don be for you kon keep you for station.

Anyhow, e no get any particular way statement suppose be. No format.

Na wetin join you for the matter wey bring you come station or wetin you sabi as witness you go write.

And e good make you really know wetin bring you come station before you begin write.

Like, if dem suspect say you don commit offense, ask the office the offense gangan wey bring you come station.

If dem say no offence say dem just want make you tell dem wetin you know, jejely no gree o.

You suppose know the offense and the person wey dem dey suspect before you begin write tori as statement.

And if dem invite you or arrest you because of petition wey dem put for your head, tell them you wan calm down read the petition before you write statement.

For inside the statement, make sure say you explain wetin make dem say make you write statement.

Make I give example, you fit say things like:

“Dem stop me as I dey waka with my phone with model number # # # # along park road, Aba.

After I show officer John my phone, e carry me go police station kon tell me say dem suspect say my phone na stolen one"

If something happen before, you go talk that thing wey happen wey bring you come station to write statement.

Remember, you go explain wetin happen, why you dey make the statement and the offence wey dem tell you say dem dey suspect you for.

No gree make anybody lie on top your head if lawyer no dey.

I hope say e make sense e.

Ahbeg, talk your mind for comment section.

Buying land without verifying the coordinates is like walking blindfolded into an expressway. You may get lucky, you may not.

A Survey Plan may appear genuine, yet the coordinates on it could point to a land completely different from the one you were shown.

Land coordinates are precise numbers (called Northing and Easting) that show the true and exact position of land on earth. They are the heartbeat of any valid Survey Plan.

What the seller or estate agent says is “your land” may not align with the coordinates in the survey plan or what is physically on ground.

If you are not careful, you may pay for one land and end up with an entirely different land. Many buyers have discovered too late that their Survey Plan points to land already owned by someone else or located in a swamp, right on a road or in the middle of nowhere.

Some have even lost buildings during demolitions because their coordinates were wrong and they built on land they never actually owned.

Remember, any building you erect on a land belongs to the owner of the land.

So confirm that the coordinates match the land being shown to you. Get a licensed Surveyor or a Property Lawyer to verify it. Do not rely on assumptions.

If the coordinates do not tally with the actual location of the land, do not buy.

Many people believe that once they register a business, organization or company with the CAC, their business is fully incorporated.

That is a dangerous misconception. Incorporation goes far beyond just registration. It is a legal process that requires deep thinking, strategic planning and compliance with multiple laws and regulations.

Proper incorporation is selecting the right business structure, drafting a compliant Memorandum and Articles of Association, understanding tax obligations, protecting your intellectual property, preparing shareholder agreements, creating Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), obtaining necessary licenses and permits, and putting contracts and legal safeguards in place.

So a Business/Corporate Lawyer is not just useful, he is your surest bet.

Unlike mere registration agents, a Business Lawyer ensures your business is legally secure, structurally sound and ready to grow.

He helps you avoid risks, penalties, shutdowns and issues that can affect your business.

Legal compliance is not optional; it is a foundation. If you want a business/ organization that attracts investors, wins contracts, scales properly and survives legal scrutiny, stop thinking registration is all you need.

Incorporation done right is a legal weapon. Anything less is an expensive mistake waiting to happen.

Seek proper legal guidance.

You hardly see me follow the trend, but this particular lawsuit is worth my time.

Yes!

This action alone, screams boldness!

The thing is, most Nigerian content creators “dey really over do”

Is it the pranks?

Public disrespect?

or humiliation?

Them too do Abeg 😓

Majority of the times, there are no jokes to laugh at in their supposed fun videos. So, they resort to humiliating people to make their followers laugh.

I hope this suit serves a lesson!

So the applicant is suing Peller, the popular TikTok creator, for a livestreamed “job interview” that she claims was humiliating and degrading.

What makes this even more significant is the legal basis of her claim.

SECTION 34 of the 1999 CONSTITUTION, which guarantees every Nigerian the right to dignity of the human person.

Many don’t realise that this right isn’t only about physical abuse. It also covers any treatment (online or offline) that shames, ridicules, or dehumanises a person. Dignity is not abstract. It’s personal. And once it’s violated in a way that subjects someone to public mockery or shame, the courts can step in.

From the motion filed, the applicant wants the court to declare that her rights were breached, award her ₦500 million in damages, and compel a public apology. But beyond the figures and legalese, I see something deeper. A citizen standing up and saying: what happened to me online matters in real life, and I deserve to be heard.

This raises serious questions about content creation and influencer culture. At what point does “entertainment” become cruelty? What limits should exist when the subject of a video is not just a storyline, but a real human being? And should the law step in when a person’s constitutional right is harmed in the name of going viral?

More importantly, and I think the most fascinating one, this law suit just tell everyone that Nigeria’s legal system, despite its many challenges, has the tools to address emerging harms in the digital age. Our Fundamental Rights (Enforcement Procedure) Rules 2009 even allow individuals to bring claims against private citizens, not just government authorities, when their rights are violated.

This suit may spark debate, but it also offers a powerful civic lesson. Social media is not lawless. There are boundaries. And where rights are trampled, redress is possible.

I’ll be watching this case closely. Not just for its legal impact, but for what it teaches us about respect, responsibility, and the dignity we owe each other online and off.

So guys, Let’s go to court!

COMMON SENSE WILL NOT HELP YOU AVOID PROPERTY & BUSINESS LEGAL PROBLEMS.

Relying on common sense or your instincts in your property and business transactions in Nigeria can lead to devastating legal troubles, losses and irreversible mistakes.

You just want to buy land, build a house, sign that business deal or set up a company. You are sincere. You act in good faith.

But good intentions without expert legal guidance often create problems. This is the Cobra Effect: when your own solution makes the problem worse than the original issue.

In colonial India, the British, in a bid to reduce the number of cobras, paid rewards for every dead cobra. People began rearing cobras just to kill them and collect the money.

When the Government cancelled the policy, the Indians released the snakes, worsening the problem. That backfire is now known globally as the Cobra Effect.

In property and business, it happens more often than you think. You buy land without legal checks, now you are in court. You draft your own Agreement/Contract, now your rights are gone.

You register a business/company or organization with a non-Business/Corporate Lawyer, now you are facing penalties.

You thought you were fixing things. But you are stuck in a legal troubles.

The law is not about effort or honesty. It is about structure, clarity and solid compliance.

Avoid the Cobra Effect. Consult an experienced Property, Real Estate and Business/Corporate Lawyer to protect your investment, secure your ownership and shield you from fraud and loss.

Get a Property/Business Lawyer before your good intentions bite you.

KNOW THIS AND KNOW PEACE!

Dear Startup founders, this one’s for you.

Have you ever copied someone else’s contract, changed a few names, and hoped it would work? 😅

Are you mixing up employee and contractor terms in the same document? 👀

Just so you know…

That’s a recipe for legal and financial trouble, and it happens way too often.

SIGN LAND/BUILDING PURCHASE DOCUMENTS AT THE TIME OF PAYING, NOT LATER

It is advised that you sign your land or house purchase documents at the point of making payment.

Do not trust your seller or his agents so easily. Always insist on signing at the time of payment.

This secures your position, as the seller could become evasive or unwilling to sign the purchase documents, having received payment in full.

The law is that merely paying for land or house does not transfer its ownership to you. The legally recognized mode of transfer of ownership of land and house is in writing and through the right purchase documents prepared by a Property and Real Estate Lawyer.

Without that, there are no inferences or assumptions of transfer of ownership of land or building. Until you sign, the land/building still belongs to the seller, even if you have paid in full.

So sign the documents while making the payment. Try not to postpone the signing. If the land/building purchase documents are yet to be prepared or not ready for signing, then put off the payment until when the documents are ready for signing.

Do not let the seller or his agent pressure you to pay and then sign later. Refuse to be pressured. It saves you a lot of stress and secures your interest.

It is the signing of the land/house purchase documents that transfers ownership from the seller to you, not full payment.

Dear Startup Founder!

So, you’ve got a killer idea. You’re ready to build.
Maybe you’ve even started pitching.

But have you handled the paperwork?

📌 If your founders' roles and equity aren’t clearly documented…
📌 If you don’t have the basic agreements in place…
📌 Or, you haven’t even secured your IP or even completed registration…

Then you’re not ready to collect a single Kobo. Not from investors. Not from customers. Not even from your friends and family 😅

Stay Glued to this channel…
