Hello and greetings, balotelle sequel to your complaints, I would advice and suggest that you give the lawyer time by contacting again, if no response you file a report against the lawyer before the higher legal bodies/authorities for sanctioning and discipline. such as NJC, LPDC etc

Good day...i have a female lawyer that handled a case for me to the extent of refering me to another after many excuses that are emotional to me... the new lawyer too not picking my calls after I gave a token .. what can I do .. unfortunately they are in Abuja and am in Lagos

It's fine stay at home and hunger will reset your brains I believe you have saved enough cash and food to sustain you? If yes, then go on strike. Tinubu has no child still going to uni in Nigeria, Shetima has no child still going to uni in Nigeria, obi and atiku that are pushing you has none of their children going to uni in Nigeria its you and your children who wil suffers terribly so go ahead.

When you people dared Buhari he ignored you all for 2 good years and refused to pay you all, who was at lost? It was you all and not Buhari because Buhari no send anybody.

Nigerians and ...





. responses, were they paid arrears (for not working)?, do they have a right to strike on legitimate concerns? the students what happens to them during this period (robbery and prostitute loading )? the political class not having children in our institution (does it not shows they already themselves do not believe in the country )? let's look at fundamentals

Averagely they ought to be below 30 years ? kindly enlighten me...

I strongly agree

Thinking of the best response to dish out.. the abuses seem more like she was owed by my friend

A friend meet a lady on bike on a particular day . Days later, he requested a physical meeting for discussiion... He asked her to suggest a comfortable location for their meeting. On the scheduled day, the woman claimed she had been debited 35,000 without receiving the corresponding payment. She appealed to him for a token pending she sort herself...When he requested to see the debit receipt for verification, she responded with verbal abuse and curses.

MOST GIRLS NOW ARE P..... IN DISGUISE

u don forget say if u dry am u com break am go meet GROUNDNUT inside

i dont know if she was guilty or not but i love the fact that such so calle trivial matters can b tried in court . many ladies now are coded pros... u see many of them posting but no job, even if you offer them they not ready to do. normal mutual agreement u go disapoint. if u no u not interested why collect....

we havent heard her own side, however commenting based on available information.. its only poverty that would one not refund a money that was mistakenly transferred to him or her. and such a person would blame the politicians over the state of the nation. if you have money and time ,just that she may likely have abandoned the no (if she does it shows poverty don kill d person) .. you track her number to get her and sue her for whatever legally you can sue her for

Omo I was a victim yesterday. I reached out to my bank, they said I should go to banking hall and it’s Saturday. I reached out to the scammers bank via IG, they put his account on lien asap. I didn’t know it was that effective, few hours later, the scammer called me and said Shey I’m happy now, I’ve reported his account. This that. Although his bank gave him 72hours to provide court order in order to continue the lien. That was quite swift anyways and I wasn’t expecting them to do react that fast. I’ve also called my friend that works with state cid for an order so that I can get the scammers details from Mtn cos I called Mtn too.
