My legal opinion:
In Nigeria, the absence of a written contract doesn't mean there was no contract. Payment receipts, bank transfers, WhatsApp chats, or other evidence can still prove an agreement existed.

While the supplier may rely on the flood as an unforeseen event beyond his control, that doesn't automatically mean he can keep your money. Whether he should refund you or compensate you will depend on the facts and the applicable law.

This is where insurance becomes important. If the supplier had insured his goods, the insurance company could have compensated him for the loss, making it easier to refund the buyer or continue the business. Insurance may seem like an extra expense, but it's often what saves a business when disaster strikes.

Lesson: Every business owner should have a written contract and insure valuable goods. You may not stop a flood, but you can protect your business from its financial impact
