we individuals change our attitude and perception? Don't make me laugh! let me ask you these very simple questions:
1.  When was the last time your vote counted in Nigeria?
2.  When was the last time Nigeria had a 'Honest-To-God' Politician, that is not a thieving, scheming 'basterd' like all,

ITbomb:

When the change come, you may not be able to benefit from it.
No be prayer.
Na so dem tell one king for Bible.

1. politics ---because that's one of the few occupations where u will be bestowed with national honours after robbing the country blind e.g

2. Oyel bunkering-----na from hia d money for operational logistics of kidnapping dey comot. and na d main business behind the kidnapping facade.

1. Engineers (Petroleum, Civil, Electrical)
2. Bankers
3. Accountants
4. Doctors
5. Lecturers
6. Lawyers

Please get the stereotypical 'charge and bail' lawyer off your mind - E.g. Mr. Gbenga Oyebode and his team of lawyers made millions of $$$ from a 5-room commercial law firm at Obalende (15 yrs ago) and he bought into Access Bank where he's presently Chairman.

@ OP
This thread exposes the root of Nigeria's problems - We have lost our bearing.

Like a public service radio announcement that filled the air and our minds when I grew up in Nigeria, "There Is Dignity In Labour!"

baslone:

Go and find out how much the highest paying law firm in Lagos pays?

All those hit man lawyers who make billions defending these
corrupt governors don't pay more than 45K to graduate lawyers
in their firms!

As a lawyer, you have got to get yours!

@mekula

The future belogs to the honest men for real. Just a matter of time

Cheers
