dayorx: 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

Aringon: Does it mean that we should copy the americans or the europeans? Does it mean that whatever they do is always right? When are we going to be left alone to be free from colonial mentality.

Whoever brought this topic to nairaland is suffering from colonial mentality and see nothing good in africa. Instead our lawyers shud dress well with clean dresses and all

They look like clowns...!

PhysicsQED:

Why do people always have to drag Egyptians into every thing ?

There were Africans that wore wigs besides Egyptians and there were some in Nigeria.
But these blond/platinum blond straight hair wig wearing fools in the picture posted by the OP are
clowns and they aren't continuing any African tradition so don't even try to defend them.

shymmex:

Why do you have problems with ancient kemet?? Are they not black??

They're our ancestors... We didn't just fall from the sky into modern day Nigeria - we all migrated from somewhere - and Nubia/Kemet seems to be the only place we could've migrated from...

tpia@:
^^ the walmart one was an imitation.

the real wigs are very expensive.
