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.. Thank you for this very insightful post |

And what do Africans and blacks in the Caribbean think they are doing? When the British themselves got rid of that crap and Americans, Canadians and South Africans did too. |

igbo2011: They are doig as their Egypitan ancestors 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. |

bb16: I disagree, I would love to see the uniform retained. It's prestigious. Screw your opinion. It's a disgrace. |

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 |
Re: When Will Nigerian Lawyers Stop Wearing Wigs, Looking Like Fools To The World? by Knegoyon: 2:05am On May 12, 2012 |
How about they should look like men and women that respect themselves instead of looking like fools to the entire world? |

There is nothing more embarrassing than seeing lawyers in their false blond hair. WTF is wrong with us that we cannot change these things? Where is the self-pride that will drive us up the ladder of development going to come from if lawyers who are at the top of national intelligence scales choose to look like cheap racial counterfeits? I weep. |
Re: When Will Nigerian Lawyers Stop Wearing Wigs, Looking Like Fools To The World? by Knegoyon: 2:09am On May 12, 2012 |
Nigeria, Ghana and Zimbabwe out of all African counties should stop wearing wigs. And Jamaica in the Caribbean really should be ashamed. South Africa doesn't do that crap |

If you haven't noticed that the British are white, just as the wigs depict white peoples hair, then your opinion is worthless. Call me when you see white people wearing wigs of black peoples hair as a symbol of learnedness. |

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. Your the one with the colonialist mentality,saying we should remain wearing blonde wigs? smh |
Re: When Will Nigerian Lawyers Stop Wearing Wigs, Looking Like Fools To The World? by Knegoyon: 2:48am On May 12, 2012 |
Also....the hair they use looks just like the wigs they wore when they came and took people from Africa to the Americas to enslave them. They look like the wigs the British wore when they came to colonize South Africa. Why do you think the white Americans and the white South Africans and white Canadians don't wear those wigs?....Because they are no longer British. England has even stopped wearing them too most of the time!. Why must black people always defend keeping bullcrap Black people want to keep white people's stuff more than the white people who forced that crap upon Africans and blacks in the Caribbean. Face it. Nigeria looks dumb and stupid as the most populated nation in the African world. |

The Nigerian government needs to see this article. It's time the Nigeria grows up and acts respectful 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/ |

PhysicsQED: 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... |
Re: When Will Nigerian Lawyers Stop Wearing Wigs, Looking Like Fools To The World? by Nobody: 3:35am On May 12, 2012 |
But the wigs must go!! They look like clowns... I have never seen a solicitor wear a wig in the UK, and God knows I've been to court bare times. Even the magistrates don't wear wigs out here... |
Re: When Will Nigerian Lawyers Stop Wearing Wigs, Looking Like Fools To The World? by PhysicsQED(m): 3:44am On May 12, 2012 |
shymmex: That's not the point. Looking to Egypt for something that happened right in your backyard makes little sense. |
Re: When Will Nigerian Lawyers Stop Wearing Wigs, Looking Like Fools To The World? by Marlboro1: 3:48am On May 12, 2012 |
They really need to rid themselves of these vestiges of colonialism that only serves to make them look stupid. I can understand Europeans in these wigs - they are whites with long straight and gray hair. Let us have some rethink about these |
Re: When Will Nigerian Lawyers Stop Wearing Wigs, Looking Like Fools To The World? by PhysicsQED(m): 3:50am On May 12, 2012 |
http://www.nytimes.com/2002/04/17/world/nairobi-journal-a-ticklish-issue-colonial-era-wigs.html How come every time this nonsense is criticized, some brainless oaf says something like "it carries dignity"? They seem incapable of immediately grasping why it looks foolish . |

A cousin graduated from Nigerian law school a few years ago, the only gift he wanted was payment for the ridiculous looking wigs from a British company for $300. The next day, while shopping at Walmart, I saw the same barristers wig in the halloween section for $1.99 1 Like |
Re: When Will Nigerian Lawyers Stop Wearing Wigs, Looking Like Fools To The World? by tpia5: 4:27am On May 12, 2012 |
^^ the walmart one was an imitation. the real wigs are very expensive. |

Re: When Will Nigerian Lawyers Stop Wearing Wigs, Looking Like Fools To The World? by dasparrow: 4:39am On May 12, 2012 |
@OP You're right though. Those wigs got to go. I don't know why we Africans can't rid ourselves of certain things introduced to us during the colonial period. |

No be small thing. Still a long way to go. |
