ethicallyright: That is not legal fees. That is a criminal arrangement of which he would be giving money back to the crooks that helped structure such public looting. No sane country will pay any lawyer those figures. Not even more than $5m in a year will be paid to a lawyer in the US for public legal fees. 2 Likes |

lekki1444: Nonsense. You can make the same or more in one deal if you know the right people. It is called corruption and looting! Otherwise it is not possible. You can't make such money legally as fees. You have to make something and have a business that sells it to make such figures. 2 Likes |

Vianna: Law isnt over rated ma. Not everyone will be successful at same time. The few you tagged charge and bail are only by waiting for their own time, even Engineering graduates, Medical Doctors, etc all have those who can't fend for themselves after school which result in their doing things they never thought they would. To me, this is uncalled for. |

HisRoyalHardnes: Very wrong assumptions. You just don't say things without a critical reasoning. There's nothing like old lawyers being the boss here, there are old lawyers who are still struggling while those who are just 4 years post call have made it. The problem with legal practice in Nigeria is that everyone wants to do samething, if its not Criminal, its corporate while there are several areas one can carve a niche from. 1 Like |

I agree. Legal profession in Nigeria is not what it used to be. I will not advise anyone to study same in Nigeria. You can study it abroad, but don't bother with Nigeria. Our law is too local and you cannot compete internationally with it except you obtain a foreign Masters degree to back it up and take it from there. Also, Only 20 out of 1000000 get into good positions here in Nigeria. Others, freestyle till fade. There are too many lawyers in Nigeria trying to service this dying GDP... . 4 Likes |

Devgru:Human want is insatiable...On the average level, Medicine is much more appreciable and less saturated than Law...In Nigeria's career horizon, Medicine is relatively better because you get to practice and earn decent income...And doctors have the strongest bargaining power in Nigeria as they know how to press their demands and hold the government to ransom...Same can not be said of other professional bodies in Nigeria...ASUU as a body is only second to NMA. 1 Like |

Goddys:that's not why they are at the top. btw, the fraternities as you call it, are not bad neither are they evil. the one who joins the esoteric organization because he thinks there is connection there, will only get disappointed! or you think people don't get disappointed in the Freemasonry and the Rosicrucian Order? also, the church's penchant for demonizing what it does not understand is also another reason why people will go to join these organizations thinking it is a ticket into fame, wealth and connection and also an avenue to hit their enemies. also, if by any chance, there are a lot of lawyers in there and these lawyers are successful (and there are), then it is possibly because they are well read! anyone who is knowledge inclined, stands out! they have a good sense of justice and fairness. and they know how to argue their point as a result of their vast exposure to knowledge and wisdom, a thing the average scripture quoting fundamentalist born again despise and as a result, they fall behind members of esoteric organization who are by the way Christians and Muslims and any other religion out there, but with a difference. also, what's wrong with these videos? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPFbKpYiVcA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRP8CbhbW4c after watching those short videos, i would like to ask if you took note of the eloquence? and please remind me if eloquence is one of the qualities of a good lawyer or not? and did you notice he said those beautiful things out of the content of his person, without memorizing it. at least, it doesn't look to me like he memorized them. you see, a man is just by nature; and as he gives himself to consideration, wisdom, knowledge and understanding, that goodness in him glows even brighter! so can you now see why they may be common in your profession, law? afterall, they were responsible for founding a country, like you saw in that video. a country based on freedom and justice, which you will agree with me, are the foundations of law in civilized countries. so them dominating your profession, as you say, is probably not because they are favoured by the devil, like a lot of you want to believe, but because of what i have mentioned above. to the one who is corrupt, all things appear corrupt; to the one who is evil, all things appear evil; and to the one who is good all things appear good, at least, that's the first thing that meets his eyes as he looks at a thing. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Gamesmart: https://thenationonlineng.net/paris-club-refund-row-350m-fees-consultants/ Above is the link . Ned Nwoko and his collegues were actually owed $350 million for the case against Paris club. The amount to be returned was $3.5billion. What they did is arbitration. At that point a corporation or country has no choice than to pay the 10% required by an arbitration lawyer and keep their 90% or lose all. Let's take Manchester City case at CAS for instance. If Man City can pay Sterling , De Brunye et Al, and even buy players for 250 million pounds, what makes you think the arbitration lawyer that defended Man City against UEFA lawyers won't get 10 million pounds for the case when all the money they used to purchase the players would have been wasted without an appearance at UEFA champions league in two years or relegation to League 1? Lawyers get paid as much as 500million dollars for multibillion dollars arbitration cases. In fact the price is 10% like agency. Law practice at that level is like sports agency. Your clients determine your pay. While the agents of Ronaldo and co are paid in 8 figures, the agents of Sunshine United players are paid in 4 figures. It's not charge and bail. If house/real estate agents at Lekki do not joke with their 10% what makes you think that high level arbitration lawyers will joke with their 10% after years of education and proficiency? 1 Like |
