Why I've Still Not Sued Real Estate Company That Disappeared With My N32 Million Fourteen Years Ago - Basketmouth

Nigerian comedian and actor Basket Mouth was recently in the news when he decided to speak out for the first time in 14 years about a deal gone wrong with a mystery person during the time he was trying to buy a house in Prime Water View Estate. Taking to his Instagram page, Basket Mouth wrote to his over 8 million followers:

I put a N32 million down payment for a house in Prime Water View Estate 14 years ago. They had some issues with the bank funding the project that landed both parties in court. After the matter was resolved I started hearing all sorts of stories concerning the delivery of the house and the refund. 14 yrs later I'm yet to get my refund, house or even BQ sef. If I call this man/company out now, do you think I waited long enough? Do you guys think I’ve been patient enough?

In response to his question, a number of people including celebrities responded. Singer Omawumi said "Na VUVUZELA you suppose use call them/him out 😂😂😂😂" while comedian I Go Save said "1. If you sue this pure water company; Court will start their magic ADJOURNMENT! 2. If you physically be@t them; They will sue you for ass@ult and court will decide that fast. 3.If you request refund for the current worth of 35M 14 years ago, snake might have swallowed it! SO JUST CALL THEM OUT OR DRAG DREM LIKE SMALL GENERATOR!" Even singer and composer Cobhams Asuquo wrote: "That's about 140 million going by the current Dollar to Naira rate, minus interest if na investment, minus damages emotional and otherwise. This calls for community dragging. I ready do jingle if you like. Nonsense!!!"

Now, during a new interview with The Punch, Basket Mouth is opening up more about the ordeal and why he still hasn't sued the people involved. Here is what Basket Mouth said.

Speaking about the ordeal and why he still hasn't filed a lawsuit against the people involved, Basket Mouth said:

I am not a big fan of the judicial system in Nigeria because of the processes involved. Unfortunately, I don’t trust it. I pushed as much as I could but the guy is someone I respect a lot, and along the line, we became platonic friends. I bought another property and moved on three years after. I kept asking about it but they had a court issue. They told me that they would give me another house, but that hasn’t happened till now.

I got upset and I was going to call him out but his brother became a king, and out of respect for their family’s name, I backed out. I later found a better construction company and I have been dealing with them since.

What do you think of this case? Do you think Basket Mouth should sue? Do you think he should call him out? If it were you in Basket Mouth's shoes, what would you do? Let me know your thoughts by leaving a comment either below or on my Jide Okonjo Facebook post.
