Bottom line continue to read everyday and join a law firm to gain more expereince. Lawyers dont make money in their earlir stages of their career after law school because of the need to continue reading and gaining practical expereince because the law is so wide and very little time to cover it all, but after 5 years or so, you will be well armed to do certain legal jobs and make Money. Choose the path you want to follow either in litigation or commercial or corporate law.

There is no short cut!

How about criminal law? I rarely hear about that in this country

@poster You can go to the event to find out.

Criminal law is so retarded in this country! I really hate it and i rarely appear in court for those kind of cases!

I remember when i was serving during my NYSC in the oyo state ministry of justice, i had a case of prosecuting a travellingband of hausa guys that found their way to ibadan and used hyenas to rob people?

The facts of the case was that, these hausa men were circus folks who played drums and tunes and it made the monkeys and hyenas dance wheneverthey play the songs and a large crowd will gather to watch these animals dance but in between, mysteriously their wallets will disappear once they come to that plce o watch them play. They accused the Hausa men for robbery and pointed the hyenas as their major suspect for jazzing them to watch them dance and they willbe hypnotized while the hyenas steal their money during that brief trance.

It was such a silly, ridiculous and dense case and the oyo state government was so adamant in pursuing the case to serve as an example! I was wondering what i was going to ask the hyenas during cross examination.

That was it for me! I havent looked back then!

Student drags EFCC to court for character assassination

Enugu – A university student, Mr Ifeanyi Okoye, on Monday dragged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to a Federal High Court in Enugu for alleged character assassination.

Okoye, of Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT), filed the suit alleging character assassination and a breach of his fundamental human rights.

The counsel to the plaintiff, Mr Ralph Nnamu, said his client was arrested by the EFCC at a cyber café where he was sourcing information for his postgraduate project.

Nnamu said that on Jan. 21, 2011, operatives of the EFCC stormed the cyber café and whisked his client away to unknown destination.

He said that the operatives alleged that his client defrauded one foreign firm located in London, Global Ventures, of N10 million.

“It is unfortunate that up till now the EFCC is yet to furnish this court with clear evidence showing that my client truly committed the crime he was accused of.

“He has been going to the cyber café for his project work since his enrolment as a post graduate student.

“I don’t know where the EFCC sourced their information which they relied upon to prosecute my client,” he said.

The counsel to the EFCC, Mr Ethelbert Onunze, said it was a case that did not require much legal tussle.

He said the case was simple and straight forward as far as cases associated with cyber crime were concerned.

“The operatives of the EFCC acted on an alert by a concerned citizen who had been furnishing the commission with the activities of the plaintiff at the cyber café on weekly basis.

“The accused heinously defrauded the foreign firm of the sum of N10 million, claiming that he will supply them with raw materials for production of textiles.

“It was at the point of collecting the sum of N700,000 meant for the transportation of the said raw materials that the EFCC arrested him.

“The accused never worked or dealt with any firm here in Nigeria that was associated with the production of textile materials,” he said.

The presiding judge, Justice M.L. Shuaibu, adjourned the case till Oct. 9 for further hearing. (NAN)

I mean dont lawyers themselves see a problem with this?
Are the judges very lazy or are the lawyers are just looking for ways to earn more?
