Vianna:i am not charge and bail oo. Carve a niche under the legal profession and watch clients that need your services come to you. Don't wait for senior lawyers to employ you. Have a passion and interest. I am a business lawyer and i carved my niche covers incorporation and Regulatory compliance 1 Like |

Etinosa1234: This got me "One reason that made me give up on the law profession is the fact that Law schools in Nigeria are churning out thousands of Lawyers in a country that has legal apathy. They'll prefer to "leave the matter to God" than to fight it in court hence depreciating the demand for lawyers" |

don't discourage younger ones from studying or practicing law, the legal practition is still lucrative. The problems and challenges facing the profession is from the state of the country, the economy is bad as well as the system. If you check very well you will still see many lawyers that are doing very well, some are billionaires. law is a profession that gives you an edge, you have many opportunities, you can start work immediately you are called to the bar unlike some courses that you may end up staying 10 years at home without a job. I'm a lawyer, with specialization in Aviation law, Business law, Legislative drafting and Real Estate. The problem we have with some lawyers is that they depend solely on litigation which may not give them the money, there are many areas that are untapped in the legal profession that young lawyers should venture into such as Entertainment law, Intellectual property, block chain law, IT law, etc. 1 Like |

Goddys: i know you are not saying they are bad. i was just using this to clear a widely held misconception. and no, there are people there who do not get contracts and 'connections'. you probably need to come among them to know people in there can be ordinary people like you and i. i have seen this with my eyes! majority of people in AMORC do not have a car. there are better cars in winners on sundays than you will find in a masonic or rosicrucian lodge. no level if comfort needed. their buildings are not even breath taking |

gunners160: Psychology is badly needed with the way people are commiting suicide, rapping children and engaging in all manner of abnormal behaviour. Criminology is needed with the rate of crime in society. There is just something fundamentally wrong with our approach to education. Even with science education we need technical and practical training and not just theory. A lot of people who studied computer science in school cannot do anything with a computer. No course is useless. It depends on how you apply the knowledge. Our approach to education needs to be restructured 2 Likes |

The problem has to do with this "get rich quick syndrome". The big lawyers took a lot of time to get to their present positions. Keyamo, Oyetibo and others worked in law chambers where they learnt more about the profession and how to succeed. I went to a court once when a judge gave a young lawyer a very serious dressing down. The young man did not know how to present his case and the judge warned him never to appear before his court without his principal. That was many years ago. The same goes for other professions including medicine, where a lot of doctors have certificates, yet they are empty. My wife met a doctor who attending to her using google as her guide to diagnose an ailment. My wife was livid when the lady could not on her own talk about an ailment she was trained in school to deal with. In our society today our youths just want to do get to the wealthy top in the fastest way possible without work. It is truly tragic. The very hard working ones are innovative, creative and take their time to achieve. They strive for stability first and are easy to learn. |

Y'all spewing trash about the Legal Profession, have you encountered a successful Lawyer before? You will fall in love with the profession a million times if you ever meet one. It's the Nigerian factor and it applies not only to the Legal Profession but to all Profession and fields, not everybody makes it big. Don't forget that Law is a private practice and it's just like business where some succeed and others don't, don't forget also that Lawyers are graduates like every other graduate but their qualification places them above others, they can work anywhere and under any Sector. The ones struggling re the ones into private practice who haven't made a name for themselves but don't conclude about any "wretched" Lawyer you see out there, a single hit can surpass the live earnings of many workers. Rome wasn't built in a day, life na small small. |

TheExclusive:They talk abt law profession as if they know it all. Let them go into the books of multinationals and see what lawyers in corporate affairs earn. I know of a Layer who bought three cars from one sale. What is affecting this country is lack of planning by our leaders and this cut across all professions. The population of the country has outgrown the available resources. 1 Like |

gunners160:Na.. You're basing your argument on assumptions. Psychology is applied everywhere not only in the clinical settings. Even clinical psychology is becoming more sought after. I know Nigeria is a country where people don't know much about psychology but trust me. There are opportunities you just need to find it. You can't sit down and be saying everyone takes their problems to pastors. There are so many uses of psychology beyond clinical psychology. I studied psychology too |

Alphaman007:can we please forget all what we you are being told in school and focus more on the reality on ground. let's forget the pride attached to being called a " Psychologist" and focus more on reality. How many psychologist are actually into practice? Furthermore, how many Nigerians are even aware of the services they offer? Just as I say, in advance countries; they engage psychologist in fact they are seen as doctors who can proffer solutions but hell no!! not in Nigeria. just as I afromentioned using (RET) by Albert Ellis, all the 11 irrational belief are so fucking present in Nigeria so nobody cares. Child Psychology, Clinical Psychology, Individual Psychology etc no get use. To buttress my point, are u into wat u actually studied in school? in fact how many of ur mates are even close to practicing wat they studied? I graduated 6 years ago , no b today oo so I knw wat I am saying |
