The Law field is saturated in the US, even American lawyers are lamenting. You better ditch your law degree if you coming to the US and look to start afresh in IT or medical field. If you did not go to a prestigious law school and have good connections coming to the US to practise law is a total waste of time, don't let no one deceive you. 4 Likes 1 Share |

There is no doubt that Nigeria is tough; however, if you can spot something here, it will last longer than what you get outside. Immigration law in the US is really discouraging, and I think it is better Nigerians start looking elsewhere if anyone wants to relocate abroad. OP should even consider the UK before the US. Like someone rightly posted above that crayfish and oil businesses are lucrative in Nigeria. Yes, it is true, anything food is lucrative. If you want to even make it bigger, food production is very profitable. Fruits sales agents in open market are making huge cash. Same with modern food producers. Not saying it is not good to go abroad, but will not be a do or die affair. For me, the US is at the bottom of the chart where I advise anyone go out of all the listed countries. New Zealand has got the best quality of life for her citizens. 1 Like |

People can always discouraged u here, but the best thing to do is take ur time do ur research well and off u go to anywhere u want to go. If u listen to what people will tell u here sometimes ehhh u will jst give up on ur dreams. Some people wey dey comment here never even go abroad and some are even praying to have that 2 million and move out. If u give them that two million now they no even know which business dem go start self. UR DECISION ARE URS AND URS ALONE. IF YOU FAIL IT'S BECAUSE OF UR WRONG DECISIONS AND IF U SUCCEED U WILL BE PROUD OF URSELF. 10 Likes |

ERONX: Someone made reference to accent being a snag and people not wanting to hire you because of same or because of being black. I have a distant cousin in NY, he made an unsuccessful attempt at NY Bar Exams last 2 years and got depressed. He owed rent then because he reduced working hours so as to prepare for exams. He now works with an Insurance Company. Generally could you give brief insight into what the practice is like there please? |

Pentools:Actually, I am a UNIZIK alumni and that is why I turned out just fine and won't stoop low to exchange words with you. My post did not in any way denigrate any of the institutions I mentioned. The only way you can arrive at such conclusion is if you have serious challenges with English Language yourself. 3 Likes |

Short answer - you need to retrain if you would like to successfully move abroad to the common-law jurisdictions. I'd advise against an LLM, its generally a waste of your funds unless you target the specialized fields where you already have some experience (tax law comes to mind here). Retrain. |

vankaid: Yes, you are certainly right, I have serious challenges with English Language. I'm not surprised, you're seemingly a product of ignorance. But you can never in your miserable life attain the height of where my "seriously challenged" English Language has taken me just yet. It's only slowpokes that bash people on an invented/lent language that's not even ours. You dey doubt person location because of "your perceived" grammatical error. Boy try get sense ooo! 2 Likes |

Betterchoice:first, set up a fiverr account. Set up 5 gig services that you can deliver as a lawyer over the internet whether it's drawing up a simple legal contract or whatever (use your head). All this costs you $0.00, just time that you would otherwise spend chasing meaningless stuff. Then, take 150k from that 2m and spend it on digital ads all over the internet. Youd be advertising your fiverr gigs. When you start getting work, you will recoup this adspend in 3 months or less. When work starts being too much for you, come back to naira land and hire people as a thank you for this idea. Finally, as a thank you to me, send 50k as the consultation fee. 8 Likes |

Betterchoice: Law is a very lucrative practice here and within 10 years, you are bound to be doing very well here if you are super focused on it Forget travelling since you are not familiar with the environment there If you had done your degree program overseas, I would have advised you to stay there You may have to suffer for like 5 years here while you gain the much needed work experience which will be the stepping stone to a successful career as a lawyer If need be, join lots of clubs in future such as country club, Ikoyi club, Island club and so to network 2 Likes |

I am a Nigerian qualified lawyer and live in Australia. Believe me there are lot of options even for overseas qualified lawyers as we are reffered to. Compliance, corporate governance, whistleblowing analyst, Corrections, social work, legal assistant or you can also apply to work with the various ombudsmen. It not law as you see it in Naija but it draws on your legal knowledge which help you excel. If however you are interested in litigation, then you have to go back to school for the priestly 11 which is divided into 14 or 15 units depending on the University and law school for 6 months. 10 Likes 3 Shares |
