Go ye therefore and multiply

I find it annoying when people say a newly elected President should be given some time to settle down and get used to the system before they can start driving the nation towards progress. For God's sake, this is a country not a football team.

One of the things that contributes to poor performance of our leaders is the 4 years guarantee that they have. It makes them relax at the expense of Nigerians that are desperate for immediate change.

I have no doubts that this country would move forward if our leaders are given 2 years per term . Even the most corrupt politician would make sure he does something remarkable because he knows two years is just around the corner.

In summary, I believe that if our leaders cooperatively put the interest of allNigerians above personal interest then even one year is enough to turn this nation around for good. Sadly, this is Nigeria, where all we do is talk and the guys up there just do whatever they can to fill their pockets

Good morning everyone.
I want to thank you all for your ​wise words, I pray that wisdom will never depart you people.

He has failed to pay me my money at the end of the month like he promised. I have decided to go back to my house and start life with whatever amount I get from selling a couple of things in my house. I won't arrest or sue anybody. I'll just move on with my life like nothing happened . The future will tell.

Richy4:
No wonder u were feeling down and depressed...U wanted him to pay you back your money that he was owing you, and you are living with him in the same house?

So where will you get the moral support to strategize when all around you screams of family!!!..

please do yourself a favour and get out of that place first and then u can plan very well on what next to do... He's not the type that you can achieve your goals dwelling together... ...

I have my own place... The only reason I came here this month was to put pressure on him with my presence and because I don't have any money left on me to pay bills

dawnomike:
Since you live under his roof, just look away and hope he pays back. Look for other means to raise money for biz

Look away & starve? As a Nigerian, you should know that money can not just be raised overnight. The fastest & cheapest way I can think of is to get a factory job. Even this factory job will take time to get and even more time to get paid

Ps; I have my own apartment. So it's not like I don't have anywhere to go, I just don't have the money

HONESTFACT101:
before taking it to court I think it is wise to involve elders in the family
MY2CENTS ^{......signing out✈}

DryMouth:
Call family meeting on him ASAP

For all those that will come to this thread to talk how they can't loan money to anyone, hope y'all won't beg for loan when you are in dire need.

Good advice, I should have done this a month or two ago. But now I feel it's too late because I know the elders will most likely tell me to exercise patience coz they'll be trying to avoid any court drama..... and I don't have more time

Good morning everyone,
Pardon me if I am posting this under the wrong section (this is my first time of posting on this platform).

To the matter....
I need legal & other advice on how to handle a situation that's causing me a lot of mental stress. I loaned 280,000 Naira to my cousin's husband around January for his business. There was no written agreement (I blame myself for this) because I felt it would be awkward to ask a family member to sign papers before I help him. Although I have other proofs like recorded calls and conversations where I asked for my money and he kept on begging for more time. The agreement we had was for him to payback by March. I had plans to purchase a fairly used Keke-napep with this 280k (plus some money I had reserved in my account).

When it was time to pay, I called him a lot to ask for my money. Sometimes, he'll pick and beg for more time. Sometimes, he'll pick and just leave me saying "hello hello hello" without a word from him. Most of the time he won't even pick my calls. He once asked me to send my account number but he didn't send anything (I felt like a joke). This went on from March, April & May. During this period, I had spent, on feeding & other bills, all the money I was supposed to add to the 280k in order to purchase the Keke-napep. This Keke-napep would have generated money for this bills if I had bought it then.

I've been staying at his place since beginning on this month because I don't have any money to fend for myself. When I came here, he told me that his customers promise to send the money before 15th of this month but they didn't. Now he said they promise to send it by the end of this month. All these while I have been patient and tolerant with everything, including the treatment I've been receiving since I came here (I don't even want to go into these treatments). I've been staying indoor since I came here because I don't know anywhere in this area. Just sitting one place and waiting for time to run makes me think about a lot of things and it's depressing.

I can't take this anymore. Even if I have a soft spot for family members, I also need to think of myself by taking necessary measures to get my money back before they ruin my plan of purchasing something that will help me survive daily. I need advice, please
