Majority of Nigerian lawyers are poo. Only ignorant Nigerians fear them. I am not a lawyer, but I am a nominating member of the International Law Office and participated in the Digital Media Law Project. The best place to practice law is the US, followed by the UK.

Which fear do you think you trigger.......


Has a doctor ever looked at your test result and given you a really worried look while telling you "this your case is very serious"

Or have you waited to collect a hiv test result and the lab technicians while trying to sort out your result keep looking up over the table to you time and again.....

My brother go to the hospital especially teaching hospitals and realise you do not trigger any fear....

That is not the type of fear them dey talk abt jare

in as much as lawyers are good at keeping secrets, mostly when they have to defend a client, that doesn't mean ppl thrust them.
Actually, the clients who share those secrets with them have to trust them in order to do so.

How comes two trained lawyers stand before a judge in which both claims RIGHT while it is ONLY ONE right involved in d case. Eventually, one fail d case. I therefore called him a LIAR.

Re: 4 Crazy Things I Love About Being A Lawyer by sanbells(f): 9:41pm On Mar 23, 2016
Amodsun:
Being a lawyer can be crazy and weird at times, but hey, there are still many things about being a lawyer that I love so much. For some of us, it may not be too much money or a luxurious life characterised by sleek cars and great mansions; but it just could be other little crumbs that falls off the table of the profession.

I know you all would be expecting me to go talking about how heroic our works can be; rescuing the oppressed, protecting the week, fighting for people’s right and all of that, but I won’t. Of course those are noble deeds we do as lawyers, of which we take pride in. But can we be a little selfish here? Already they call us liars, how about them calling us selfish too? Like we care! Here are my little selfish reasons why I love being a lawyer-

1. I Love The Attention It Attracts

Oh please, who doesn't love attention? We all do, though the degree at which we crave for it may differ; so don’t give me that look. I love the feeling I usually get when I walk into a bank and one of the staff calls out in greeting to the hearing of everybody thus- “you are welcome barrister”. You can imagine the stares that such greeting generates, and to think that I am the focus of such is so cool. By the way, this is not peculiar to banking halls, it just happens everywhere. You all know most folks don’t know us by our names, and even the few that do, would rather call you a barrister than your name. This plays out in so many ways and I enjoy every bit of it. You can call me a kid, it’s okay, am just being honest here.

2. I Love The Feeling Of Fear We Trigger

Are you in doubt of this? Ask some policemen. I laugh when some of my colleagues narrate their experiences with policemen, especially at the police station. A policeman on sighting a lawyer at the police station, probably on the invitation of a client, who is being detained, immediately turns into a tiger. It’s funny. Why would they turn into tigers all of a sudden? The guys are intimidated. Why are they intimidated? They are the bad guys, and here comes the good guys who won’t let them have their devilish ways. Naija police I hail o! You know what I do when I confront such scenarios? I pity them and try to assure them that I am their friend, while laughing in my mind because I know I am not their friend in anyway. They are bad. Yes I said it. Same goes for other folks who won’t just want to do the right thing. Talk of landlords who wouldn't want to follow due process in ejecting tenants out of their houses, creditors who also won’t follow the right means in recovering their debt, and many others. We are the good guys, and the bad guys hate us.

3. I Love The Controversial Aura

You will be shocked to hear all kinds of opinion people have about lawyers. Seriously, they don’t just think of us as liars; they think a whole lot of shit about us. I heard some even think we all are occult members; can you beat that? I intend to conduct a public opinion on this one of these days, and I can’t wait to really hear stuffs people think and say about us. But come to think of it, who even gives a heck about what they all say and think? I just love that controversial air. Don’t you?

4. I Love The Fact That We Can Be Trusted

It takes a lot of faith and trust for people to share intimate things with you. We are talking about secrets and confidential information here. People literally lay their lives bare before their lawyers. Folks trust us with their lives. It’s humbling. I know it also comes with a great responsibility of not betraying that trust.

I love being a lawyer, don’t you? Let’s hear your own reasons why you love being a lawyer. I actually mean your selfish, crazy reasons!
Legooooii gringrin
Well I hate lawyers!Generally I hate Law.It's one of the most boring occupation I can ever think of.I can't imagine myelf working in a court room,putting up with all that;''ORDER! OBjECTION MY LORD! ...BLA BLA BLA'',quoting all sections of the constitution,so boring!I love the outside world.Occupations that'll take you around the world,get to meet people,get social,anything showbiz.That's my definition of fun!

Law students for Uniben dem go just dey form like say Na dem know pass oh, me nor dey ever send cos as a Philosophy student I see myself far better than those law students, I see them as folks beneath me, and that without us they can't survive after all the borrowed Logic from us, so they are not our equal in anyway, without Logic a lawyer is dead.

N.B I applied for Philosophy oh I choosed it over law.
