Barrister Atanda Olatunji made the man’s outcry public, via his Facebook handle, The People’s Parliament.
According to the man’s story, he redownloaded the loan app and was surprised to find the whopping amount. He begged for a way out. His message read:
“I Re-D0wnloaded my L0an App today and i was surprised with what i saw.
“Atanda, L0an of 80k last 2 yrs is now 1.4M, wat can i do pls.”
Lawyer offers advice to debtor
Reacting to the man’s outcry, barrister Atanda advised him to sort out the loan issue now as it would affect his credit score and deny him many opportunities in the future.
He further advised the debtor to visit the loan company’s office and plead for a fair ground, adding that it is in their hands to determine his fate.
“My dear you sort it out now cos it will not stop increasing which will affect your credit score so badly and you will out from many opportunities in future.
“Go to their office and plea for a fair ground and promise that you are about to pay. They wi bring it down it down to 50% for you.
“That’s the only option and they may also not agree to your plea. It’s their right. They have the power to accept or reject your plea…”
The barrister warned that the debt would keep increasing if the debtor did nothing about it
“The more it delay. The more it pile up. One day you will wake up to check and see 10M gbese for you 😀. Once it’s cross 3M , the company will file a suit against you.
“I hope you are ready for it. You go go c0urt ture and loose your property worrh that amount when e reach that stag3. Ignorance of the law is no excuse…”
The legal practitioner urged the man to pay up the loan and funnily suggested an alternative.
“Pay your L0an. No think say them go cancel am cos you delete the app oooo. The only way out na to travel out comot from this country and start your life in another country. Ehen, you will be free.
“If dem block you for 9ja airport. Pass Ghana or Togo comot 🤣.”

Ademola Kareem said:
“Infact, it really surprised me that you took a loan without a clear plan for repayment. The high percentage was agreed upon before you accepted the loan.
“Those privileges are enjoyed by other countries without being abused.
“The company is running a business, and taking the loan was your decision. Additionally, they have employees who receive monthly salaries.”

“Those laughing at the poster, do you know the reason behind him/her going for the loan??? When certain situations in life hasn’t happened to you, don’t laugh or mock people in it.”
