djeezy: A lawyer is not paid to know the truth. A lawyer is paid to defend his client(s). This is done through conciliation, findings of fact and findings of law. Both counsels canvasses the law vis-à-vis the case at hand and this is done before an impartial arbiter who is the Judge who presides over the case. I'm a lawyer and I see nothing wrong in the profession. @topic, any course I don't want my kids to study, I'll give them my reasons why I don't want them to study it and if they are still obstinate and recalcitrant as to that effect, then I'll let them study whatever they wish forthwith and let them exercise their volition. There's a misconception I'll love to address, it is forsooth as a result of sheer ignorance, NOT all lawyers are LIARS, we have true christian lawyers.. saying that all lawyers lie will amount to a fallacious statement.

I surely have no doubt that such people do exist but they're few and far between; however, I can't speak to Kalu's wealth in particular. I think I read an article awhile ago that said he got his start from commodities just like Dangote?

KiksAsso: Hi Nairalanders,

I was discussing with my Hubby few days ago and the above question cropped up. He just smiled and said any course apart from Law. When I probed further, he said most Lawyers tend to be great liars by profession even when the truth is very glaring, they still keep manipulating and turning issues around all in the name of defending their clients.

Messilo: go back to ss1 and change to science. after secondary school read medicine in order to secure job with good pay easily bye

fellowben:

Candid advice! do go and re-write your SSCE or GCE ensure you make your maths give it all your best, you could also improve in the other subjects. go for the Accountancy of your choice, losing a year is no big deal, you'll understand after you graduate and in the labour market. it's not who graduated first that makes it first in life, at a point it will not matter anymore. avoid the temptation of reading just any course.
I've been there and worn the shirt! after my secondary school, I couldn't bear not gaining admision imediately so I put in for Pub Admin/Pol Science so I would avoid maths. did some arts courses. God mercifully did not grant me the admision even when I tried the second time. at the third trial I angrily put in for Accountancy and got it. I added ICAN and ACIT to it. and today I am very well, mind you, many folks who rushed in to read some irrelevant courses and graduated quite early are very much in the labour market. to God be the glory, I've never really searched for jobs, as I make my pick and choice. be wise. write your GCE again.

AjanleKoko:

Yes, really.
It's their life to live, not mine. I am already living mine.
So long as I am able to teach them how to be responsible and make something of their lives. How they go about it is going to be entirely up to them.

hyper gig: FOR THOSE THAT AV INCLUDED PHILOSOPHY AS THE MOST APPALING COURSE THEY WUD'NT WANT THEIR KIDS STUDYING...AM QUITE SURE THAT THEY ARE IGNORANT OF THE FACT THAT IT'S D BEDROCK OF ALL ODA COURSES.

Kolade Arow: Thats the mistake most parents are making now. The fact remains any course of study the young lad is having in mind just let him/her go for it. Gone are the days people have grudges against proffessions, THIS IS 20TH CENTURY FOR GOD SAKE WAKE UP!!!

wengerjay: There is no future in any profession,the future is in the hands of an individual dat holds a profession.

That's unfair. You should have allowed the young man go for his choice.
