The richest professionals are lawyers.
The poorest professionals are lawyers.

Don't let poor people advice you on your future, look for those who have made a killing a and excelled in the field of law to request for their mentorship.

Hello Nairalanders,

I've been here for a while now and having evaluated certain things on the forum I think I'll get the sincerest of answers to my question.

I intend to study law; I'm good with my English, have a formidable sense of logical and critical reasoning and naturally charismatic. These should be the basic requirements for intending lawyers( at least, according to the naive me).

Academically, I will humbly say I know my worth: with the beyond-basic knowledge of Government, a fair knowledge of the mechanics of politics and the ability read without wearing out, I suppose a lawyer is in the oven, soon to be baked.

However, my very close confidant advised me to drop the dream and seek something viable. My mother who have not had much to do with lawyers and who believe them to be just hungry folks scavenging for cases from one police station to another doesn't think it's a good shot.

Now, I plead we leave sentiments aside. Be critical with your reply and please, let your comments not be made out of prejudice.

What are my chances of making it as a lawyer in today's Nigeria?

PS: You might have better options for me, like migrating to a computer-related course or learn a soft skill. I've gotten much of that . Just kindly answer the question.

Thanks in anticipation.

Many people will learn too.

You must learn to lie for a living or you'll be termed ‘charge and bail’ after upto seven years of wearing suits and ancient wigs in the sun.


You must learn to say white is black and prove the chemistry.


You must learn to say a murder case was actually an accident, that the deceased hit the bullet, not otherwise.


You must have about six lines on your head, from forehead backwards.


You must learn to confuse the judge and be a judge in your own case, even if the law forbids it.


You must call a tort a crime, an a tortfessor a criminal.


You must see an invitation to threat case as an avenue to adjourn a case for five years.


Bribery will be your porridge yam.


You must learn to collide with the judge to shift the case to Maiduguri from Port Harcourt so that the Plantiff or Accused will tire out and the case won.


You must learn to wear one socks for twelve years. Oh, my oh.

You must be a politician's puppet to grow or you will end up a lecturer.


You must be a womanizer.

For every millionaire in sports, there are 10 thousand living in penury. You think everyone in sports makes it? I laugh.

For every millionaire lawyer, there are a million living in penury and another million who switched and are probably fish farmers or something. It's easier to know you are not a good sport and from an early age and switch than to know the system all around the world does not favour lawyers after spending years in law school and wasting money.

Richest professionals my ass
You mean with all the highhandedness and impunity some even after finishing law school still husle? .
