Coolgasman:nursing in Nigeria is just inbetween. It depends on where you working,your certificate,your experience. Though it's possible a nurse with no experience earns 70k,while some might earn 40k. Nursing is fair But it's better outside Nigeria,I mean u.k and u.s a. |

OP, I support your motion. In 2013, I got an admission into UNILAG to study Law, but I quickly offered myself brain and dumped the course after the first semester because I had envisaged that it will be a total waste of time. I was not feeling the course, more so, viewing the way my predecessors in the profession were and narrated their experiences during court ordeals wasn't something to envy. I didn't even have the strength to read the many books required of us, yap unnecessarily about Politics and History like market women nor jump from court to court to convince acquitted victims to give me cases for me to make a living. I was not cut out for all that. I disappointed a lot of people because they had thought I was perfect for the profession. But amidst that hype about the profession spelled frustration, for me. Years down the line, I haven't regretted my decision a bit even though I haven't been able to return back to school in peace sha, since I frustrated the first plan. Looking at my "once upon a time" coursemates, I don't envy them. Some are doing well, for the ones whose parents could pull funds to establish them upon graduation from Law school, push contracts for them or even sent them abroad to work for better Law firms. Sheybi I have one who has now become a multi-level marketer. Ozwo! . The worse is, some earn as low as 40K, 50K, even 70K. God forbid. For all the 6 years wey I spend for school come serve join? Professional course for that matter. I will rather sell food on the streets mehn. Las las, that profession na just hype and scam. 20 Likes |

truth be told law is the most lucrative career ever. you can be broke today and tomorrow you can earn 100 million naira just like that. i know a guy like that named dagogo karibi whyte.. he is a lawyyer with gazillion dollars. the thing about law is that it is not meant for everybody. if you dont have an enchanting personality and tonnes of charisma just forget it. now with an enchanting personality yu will eventually find your way into the gas and oil sector or hanging with some rich politicians and you will be the one brokering deals for them and writing the legal documents and you will earn like 100 million naira a day. that is the story of my man dagogo karibi whyte. and so yes law is extremely lucrative but if you lack charisma and the ability to schmooze with rich men just forget it 6 Likes 1 Share |

The profession is okay just that there are less opportunities in this part of the world. But if you are hardworking and differentiate yourself, you will surely make it. 1 Like 1 Share |

Let's just say it's the situation of things in this country. Law is a very nice course to study but Nigeria as a whole is not helping matters. I really admire the dressing and charisma of Law students in my school,if you see them they are always walking in pack with their black and white or all black(for girls).Their girls set die,I would like to befriend a female Law students before I leave uni But one thing is that many are very proud,addressing themselves as my fellow learned colleague as if me sef no dey learned Any how sha I don't blame dem,considering how difficult it is to get Law and keep up with requirements But the funny part is all of these after graduation is near-useless if you don't have one sort of mad connection, except if you're very fortunate, and this most times come if you know person wey know person So it's just naija that is the problem, if not Law is a quite profitable and noble course 9 Likes 1 Share |

Vianna:You sound like a lawyer in distress, I'm not saying you're. Law is a trade with so many opportunities. You have only listed one which falls under Law of torts but there are property law, commercial law, Law of Agreement, tax law, trusts, marriage law, and so many others. Even the charge and bail you spoke of could also be very lucrative for a lawyer who knows what it's doing. Lawyers are eligible to work everywhere and in all industries. Banking, oil and gas, technology, Sovereign Wealth Funds, WHO, WTO, government, civil service, just name any sphere of life, lawyers are needed. I currently hold a degree in arts but law is my dream profession, there's so much more I can achieve as a lawyer. I can get an LLB in 2 years through graduate entry in the UK, Nigeria is 5 years, what a waste of time, then I can choose to do either SRA or Bar exams. I prefer SRA but Bar could hold its own opportunities. Lack of jobs is a big problem in Nigeria, all professional courses are affected - doctors were advised to go into farming by the minister of labour, there are jobless doctors and engineers all over the place. 7 Likes |
