The wig is meant to emulate the powdered wigs which royalty and nobility in Europe wore in the 17th century. I still don't know why Nigerian lawyers are still hanging on to a colonial custom which is no longer in use in the country it was borrowed from. 1 Like |

makapella:Not true. As stated un the op, the wig and gown traditional was gotten from the Brits who colonized us. Unlike us, the predominant hair colour of the brits is not black. |

makapella: An uncle told me the first lawyer in the world has that kind of hair, so to remember him, the whites produced the wigs. I so believed this as a kid. |

Must be the British style coz back here in America, our lawyers and Judges wear no shitty cream colored wig... Lawyers approach in styled suit, Judges do okay with just the Gown. The British and Special recognition is like Mugabe and power |

Na only Nigeria here we dey copy British and American systems at the same time but refused to allow our things work like their own. See how smart Harvey Spector and Mike Ross dey look on their designer suits. Our lawyers and their gown are no different from church choirs and d scary looking wig dey make some look like they are in a Halloween costume. 1 Like |

Kamadoye: This is not true! I recently watched a documentary on BBC. They wore the wigs in the past as it was the fashion of the day. As time went on, the profession became accustomed to dressing that way and things simply have not changed. All thee symbolism above is ridiculous. Those were definitely not the reasons. |

The minister of sports in Nigeria is a lawyer,does he also belong to this noble profession that was meant for the wise ones? This just but a question |
