A girl of about 22 just approached me that she needs a lawyer to pursue her cause and get her entitlements paid.
The background of the issue goes thus:
There was this guy in her area that had been wooing her for weeks. She finally agreed to him but only on the condition that he would sign a 'contract' pledging himself to her. That if he ever broke her heart, he would have to pay her the sum of 1million naira. I saw the paper agreement and it contained two signatures. I asked what transpired between her and her guy. She says she caught him with another girl. This allegedly happened 6months into their relationship.
Please lawyers in the house, is this issue valid in court? Can she be awarded the payment?

It is not valid except the agreement was drafted by a legal practitioner and within the context and tenents of the law.
She should brace up herself and try to get over the heartbreak.

Was it a contract or just an agreement? Not all agreements are contracts but all contracts are agreement.
