“It is now settled law that a cause of action is entire factual situation, the existence of which entitles one person to obtain from court, a remedy against another person. See the case of A.G. Kwara State V. Olawole (1993) 1 NWLR (Pt. 272) 645 at 663.

Again, in the case of Renco Construction Co. Ltd. Vs. Veepee Industries Ltd. (2005) Al I FWLR (Pt. 264) 816 at 822 this court held thus:

"Cause of action is the entire set of circumstances giving rise to an enforceable claim, it effect the factor combination of facts which give rise to a right to sue and it consist of two elements:

(a)   The wrongful act of the Defendant which gives the plaintiff cause of complaint, and

(b)   The consequent damage"
