When Will Nigerian Lawyers Stop Wearing Wigs, Looking Like Fools To The World? by Knegoyon: 6:13pm On May 11, 2012 |
When will Nigeria stop wearing wigs looking like fools to the entire world? I came across this article look how we look totally stupid to the world. Check this article out and check out more pictures here: Is now the time to remove wig wearing as part of court dress in Africa’s Commonwealth of Nations and those in the Caribbean? http://dilemma-x.net/2012/05/09/is-now-the-time-to-remove-wig-wearing-in-africas-commonwealth-and-caribbean/ [img]http://dilemmaxdotnet.files./2012/05/bahamas-02.jpg?w=540&h=360[/img] 1 Like 1 Share |

This has to stop. What is wrong with black people? It is like we gained independence from the British...yet, black want to look like the British. The British have even stopped wearing those stupid looking white and blond hair wigs. Those photos of black people on the link above really shows how stupid some black Africans and black people from the Caribbean look. 4 Likes |

Just think about this.....what must white people around the world think and feel when they see black Africans and blacks in the Caribbean looking so stupid? The whites have to feel very impowered.

Martin55 you are so correct. Nigeria likes to act like they are so powerful ...yet, look at their president when he takes the oath of office....he has these people looking like fools swearing him in. This is the same thing in Ghana and in Zimbabwe. The presidents are sworn into office with people with wigs on.....fools. They actually look like clowns. 2 Likes |

Good question, I always thought it was weird but understood that it was sort of something that was always done since getting independence from the British but to me personally I don't think it is necessary though. 1 Like |

Knegoyon: When will Nigeria stop wearing wigs looking like fools to the entire world? yes, they should! they must be fools for wearing it in the first place. i cannot imagine how those wigs smell after spending the whole day in that hot temperature smelling like billygoats on heat. a nonsense practise that should have been scrapped since 1960. 3 Likes |

@ topic according to wiki, court wigs only got phased out in 2008, in the UK, and most likely the other countries will follow suit as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_dress 1 Like |

Maybe Brazilian weave-on would be good to replace the white wig.:-) |

As usual we are quick to condemn what we have got. i think whether or not lawyers retain their wig and gown is a matter for them to decide. i am a lawyer and i think it is prestigious.however some lawyers choose to look scruffy in the attire, i think they r just dirty people because a right thinking person would not wear a dirty gown to court....whether or not we wear the attire it does not change the fact that our laws and our entire criminal justice system needs to be overhauled.. just like when the police uniform was changed it still did not stop them from collecting N20 on our roads 3 Likes |

well i say let them keep the damn wigs if it symbolizes something! Will you say Africans should move around unclad so they don't look white? After all we used to be almost stark na ked before the Europeans discovered us! Please there are much more important things to worry about as a people to even begin to be considered as equals to other races! |
Re: When Will Nigerian Lawyers Stop Wearing Wigs, Looking Like Fools To The World? by Nobody: 12:44am On May 12, 2012 |
A resounding YES to this post!!! You have just voiced out what many people have been thinking. It's just the height of ridiculousness seeing them in such. It's a sight of mockery, politically wise, colonially wise, and FASHIONABLY wise. We need a lawyer in the house to tell us how he/she feels about it. It's funny because we've not heard about anyone rebelling against the wigs. They must really love it. Lol that picture is classic!!! |
