Every deal, whether for housing, employment, loans, or services, includes extensive fine print. In Nigeria, people may trust a man's word, but in the UK, your signature is your bond. Many Nigerians inadvertently sign documents that bind them to unnecessary financial constraints, legal duties, and commitments.

The danger is that ignorance is no justification in this situation. If you sign a tenancy agreement without reading it, you risk being stuck with hidden fees, unfair penalties, or stringent terms. If you sign a job contract without first checking, you may be agreeing to unfavourable working hours or restrictions that interfere with your work-life balance. If you sign loan agreements recklessly, you could end up in debt for years. What you sign can change the course of your financial journey in this country. And sadly, once your name is on the paper, your excuses won’t stand in court.

Being mindful starts with slowing down. Do not let urgency or pressure push you into putting pen to paper. Read every line of the document, even if it looks boring or unnecessarily long. Where you don’t understand, ask questions. Where you can’t ask, pay for professional advice. A small fee to a solicitor could save you from a lifetime of financial struggle. Remember that a single overlooked clause can become a big problem in the future. And never assume the other party will act in your favour—contracts are designed to protect the interests of the one who drafted them.

Another common mistake made by immigrants is signing on behalf of others. A friend may ask you to be a guarantor or to utilise your information for something trivial. In the UK, being a guarantor means that you are entirely liable if the other person fails to meet their responsibilities. Many people have wrecked their credit records or carried obligations they did not owe, all because of a careless signature made out of compassion. In this country, kindness without wisdom may be a hefty load.

Your signature reflects your writing style. Treat it as valuable. Do not sign anything that you do not completely understand. Don't sign for others unless you're willing to accept their responsibility. And don't allow desperation force you to accept unfavourable terms.
