The wig wearing custom was stolen from Kemetic Egypt by Europeans and sold to other Africans through colonialism just like Christianity and Islam. |

Xstremebj:No bros, engineers wear helmet on site for protection in the event of accident. In Nigeria lawyers inherited the wig from the English, but in England today the use of wig is relegated. So, if you're a lawyer and somebody says you're "kolomental" abeg no vex. |

sinceraconcept:the wig doesn't make sense.. People should be allowed to dress officially (most especially in our native dress) and stop looking like a cock |

We all agreed it is a copy-action from our colonial masters. However, if a lawyer refused to wear wig, our people would tag him or her a deviant, especially if the person was a muslim, he would be tagged as terrorist. We will soon be alright. |

Olayishade: This is not correct. I will understand if you are not a lawyer. But if you are, then this is disappointing. Nigerian Lawyers have to put on their regulation wear (Black suit, usually with Baristers jacket and trousers, with white collarless shirts etc.) and a wig and gown - in all the SUPERIOUR COURTS OF RECORD (High Courts and above e.g.Court of Appeal, National Industrial Courts, Supreme Courts etc.) But in the Lower Courts (e.g. Magistrate Courts, Customary Courts, Area Courts, Sharia Courts)... a lawyer may not necessarily put on the regulation wear and wig and gown. In fact, if you visit the Magistrate Courts, where 80% of Nigeria cases starts from - you would hardly see a Lawyer in wig and gown. They are all in Suits (doesn’t even have to be black... but can be dark blue suit and Dark grey suit). Most people on this thread are not lawyers - but they have been displaying their ignorance to the world. Even in tribunals... the wig and gown may not be adorned. Bottom line is that if Is a regulation wear. The same way Doctors put on White robes in the Hospital instead of Black robes. Same way engineers and military men have their regulation wears. Is there a problem with that? 2 Likes |

Lawyers are liars ...so that they keep on hiding the truth...and keep presenting deceiving evidence....lawyers ways are not straight .they are trained how to defend both true and lie...a lot of lawyers will not make heaven |

It represents Wisdom, as in Gray hair. But it was copied from the British. |

It is quite funny, make them look like clowns. Supposed 'learned' folks still tied to the white man's apron. It's very ridiculous. If a wig must be worn, why a blonde wig and not a black wig? Colonial mentality. 1 Like 1 Share |

Any small talk, they will say you're jealous. Jealous of what exactly! Are lawyers getting paid than an average administrative manager? Any small argument like this.... You're jealous. |

To hide poverty among lawyers. A lady with Brazilian hair of 500k must cover. A man with 500k worth of suit must cover it |

Slonge22:Did you say 'colonial master's? Can you repeat those words again but carefully absorbing their meaning? A better word should be 'colonialists. As to your response proper, you were very correct.l |

Cousin9999: From some of the Indian movies I have seen, it doesn't appear like they still wear wigs. But for the UK, they now only wear wigs for criminal proceedings and ceremonies. For instance, when our lawyers appeared before a tribunal during the Atiku vs Buhari case, UK lawyers would not have used wigs. |

It's part of their dressing as doctors can't do without a stethoscope. |
Re: Why Do Lawyers Always Wear Wig Caps by lollybee15(m): 2:06pm On Oct 21, 2019 |
Silly question. Is the wig not part of their uniforms? Wearing it or not wearing it is not made compulsory. It depends on how convenient one is. |

emrain:Well, what do you do? England took 1000's of years to develop. They fought and broke their head till they wrote down all their laws. It is based on these laws their their justice system functions. Nigeria as. Country is barely 100years old with us together under one leader. British that colonised us could not stress their self with our history/customs/ and multiple traditions. They just carried their home laws copy and paste on our head. Don't kill, don't steal. ...etc. And all our lawyers and justice system wear British wig to signify the compliance to British law as foundation. It will take another 1000 years for us to satisfactorily adjust the laws to truely reflect Nigeria as a Nation. For now, I'm sure you can see all the injustice, confusion and jungle justice going on as a result of our confusion. |
