A client once told me âBarrister, make I just beat the guy small. The money go come out.â
Thatâs how most Nigerians think debt recovery works. They seize cars, they send thugs, they harass the debtor with the police.
But hereâs the truth, once you harass someone, youâve handed them the law. Youâre no longer the victim youâre now the criminal.
3 proper ways to recover your money without losing your case:
1. Send a Demand Letter:
That your long WhatsApp threats mean nothing. A lawyerâs letter builds proof and fear.
2. Sue for Breach of Contract:
if they ignore the letter, no need to fight, just file a lawsuit.
3. Want to disgrace them online?
Always talk to a lawyer first because if you say âthiefâ without evidence, they can sue you for millions. You lose your money and now your peace.
In Nigeria, justice is not about whoâs right. Itâs about who played the system better.
