If you are buying or selling a used car in Nigeria, get a written purchase agreement or hire purchase agreement before money changes hands. Most car disputes happen because the transaction was cash and nothing was documented.

Many landlords in Nigeria are losing money and court cases because their tenancy agreements are either verbal or copy-pasted from a WhatsApp group without the legally required clauses.
Here's what a valid Nigerian tenancy agreement MUST contain:

Full names and addresses of both parties
Exact property description (not just "house in Lekki"
Start and end dates — not just "1 year from now"
Rent amount, payment schedule, and accepted payment method
Caution fee amount and refund conditions — be specific
Who pays for what repairs
Notice period — Lagos State law requires minimum 6 months notice for yearly tenancies
Signatures of both parties with witnesses

The mistake most landlords make: they use a generic template that doesn't match their state law. A Lagos agreement is different from an Abuja or Rivers State agreement.
Also — if the tenancy is more than 3 years, it MUST be stamped or it may not be admissible in court.
I recently started using Signova (getsignova.com) to generate mine — it asks you the specific questions, picks up your jurisdiction, and generates a proper agreement in under 2 minutes. Preview is free, download is ₦7,400. Way cheaper than a lawyer's consultation fee. Tried it for my Yaba property and the output was clean and complete.
Happy to answer questions if anyone has specific landlord/tenant issues.
