I have always wondered why too? Maybe if we finally let go of this colonial crap, our courts will finally know what justice is... |

lennymutai: Military badges are used to differentiate a soldier from another. It can be used to know a soldier's 1. Corps 2. Unit 3. Battalion 4. Mission etc. What is the wig used for? Every soldier in the world uses badges. Which western lawyer uses wig? 3 Likes |

Rossikki: You have a point that may be very meaningful but it suffers poor presentation. 1. You didn't tell us the origin of wearing the wig and why it is associated with colonialism. 2. You didn't tell us why [not] wearing it directly affect the discharge of the duties of our 'learned colleagues' 3. You did not give example(s) of what the countries you mentioned have used to replace the wig. 4. You failed to offer alternatives. 5. Anyway, fine perapective on abrogating our mental colonialism. 3 Likes |

They are now black man wigs bro. We wear them because we want to. It is irrelevant to the discussion of whether the wig and gown should be done away with that they were introduced by the British. |

ShenTeh: 1. It is a British tradition. U don't see them sheepishly and mindlessly following Nigerian traditions 2. It is hot in 9ja and wearing such a headress can limit brain activity 3. US stopped wearing them, so did Canada 4. Duh. What's wrong with formal African dressing or even shirt and tie? 5. You got that right 1 Like 1 Share |

Ezyp: It is truly not fair - and your own is better! I like what u posted here: One of the editors of the Nigerian Lawyer blog wrote that wigs weren’t made for the sweltering Lagos heat, where lawyers wilted under their garb. “The culture that invented wig and gown is different from our own and the weather is different,” Unini Chioma wrote. ...... But seriously guys, doesn't this fellow look like some sort of an idiotic caricature?! UNBELIEVABLE!! 4 Likes

As far as we as citizens of Nigeria are concern the the traditional wig they put on is not an issue, rather we should ponder on the quality of judgments we get. For example, we're in a country where a GSM phone thief is slammed with 5yrs imprisonment and a political thief that stole our commonwealth will be granted bail by same men on wig, so how do we reconcile this, or does their wigs wearing have anything to do with it? |

excel101: It all starts with the general phoniness of which wig-wearing is a big part. That's why it is important |
Re: Why Do Our Lawyers Still Wear White Man Wigs? by Chukwusomaga: 8:15am On Nov 03, 2018 |
They really don't wear it all the time now. I ve attended some proceedings. Most of them don't wear it while addressing the court. |
Re: Why Do Our Lawyers Still Wear White Man Wigs? by WetinConsignMe: 8:17am On Nov 03, 2018 |
mikolo4us: Actually yes. It represents a big part of the general phoniness that afflicts 9ja, which directly affects me! |

We practice English common law, so i presume the wig is among the prerequistes for english law. |

If you are not a lawyer, mind your business. We want it that way. It is our profession. The army, clergy, doctors, nurses, etc have theirs. Leave the Legal profession alone. |

I am very much disappointed in most of what we do in Africa. Everything we do is copied from the Whites. Though some are beneficial while on a larger scale, the rest are rubbish We have been mentally enslaved for so long a time and now too difficult to come out of them Imagine with the vast knowledge in medical world, an average African will resort to prayer to cure common headache, blood transfusion is prohibited in some religious sect even when its refusal is likely loss of life. Oyonbo man rubbish our own African traditional religion and enforced theirs on us but they don't practise the way we do here. We need mental re-engeneering in Africa 1 Like 1 Share |
