Man dares loan app
Leonard, in a Facebook post on June 16, narrated how he begged the loan app in November 2025 to allow him to repay his debt using the official CBN guidelines, but they allegedly refused, and reportedly demanded a 2% daily interest instead of the CBN-mandated 1% monthly cap.
Leonard added that agents of the loan app spoke rudely to him and he has vowed not to return the loan under the loan app's terms, which he described as illegal.
He dared the loan app to take him to court. Leonard's Facebook post read:
"Dear Okash loan.
"I vividly remember pleading with you last November to let me pay using official CBN guidelines..... which you refused and illegally demanded 2% daily interest instead of the CBN-mandated 1% monthly cap.
"Your agents then spoke to me rudely.
"Sending me messages now to beg for the capital will not work.
"You can call me until the end of time, but I am not paying a single Kobo under your illegal terms.
"I will be waiting for you at the court . I will not be bent by predatory lenders who violate CBN rules.
"T for thanks."
