That is how one lawyer was arguing with me in 2018 that Lawyers have more relevance than Doctors.
Imagine say lawyers dey strike since and no one is even aware. But make doctors go for one day, ppl for Nairaland go dey self-service upandan

Lawyers are not on strike, the judiciary is. There's a difference.

Lawyer ko, lawyer ni

This is not the type of country where you depend on wetin you study in school to make a living...Lawyers have a handfull of time to diversify...

Who hunger wire, na em lazy pass.

It seems Lawyers are really useless in Nigeria
No court sitting and nobody really noticed

You will not if you are inactive in business or scratch for a living. Those into the big deals and big things are feeling it as well.

The risk levels are just rising which means more overheads to secure performance.

Its bad out there.

I disagree, Sirs!
Law, just like Philosophy, is the basis of intelligence and every man worth his salt, must study or know a little bit of Law.
Studying Law is all about acquiring general knowledge of everything and specific knowledge of what is right or wrong so, it makes you a far better humanbeing, to study Law.

And it is not restricted to Lawyers alone, l have some other friends who are "self employed" like Lawyers and they are not finding it easy since the Pandemic started, just that our case in Nigeria, is kind of self inflicted.

My advice is that every self-employed person, Lawyers inclusive, must always think ahead and know that it does not rain everyday.
Having a running business, empowering your wife to run a Business you invested inside, having passive incomes from investments (for example, my income from various Rent alone, can sustain me for ever, at a lower level of lifestyle, ofcourse, if l decide l am not working again) to cushion for days like this, should be top priority.

Like everything else, there will always be Ups and Downs, Cheer-Up and dont be downcast, better days will come.
Use this 'idle time' to learn something you have not learnt before, due to time constraints.
It will be well.

Anytin related to health is d future

My uncle who is even a senior lawyer is not having it easy this period. His family is solely depend on the wife's salary these days because the man is not that productive owing to the ongoing strike by JUSUN. Even 5k and he'll tell you he does not have unlike before.

On my own side, I'm almost a beggar now. Those small small businesses that used to come in are no where available these days. It's not easy surviving especially when having mouths to feed.

How is it going with you?

I feel for you, it is not easy at all. I am a Registrar, it has not been easy for we the staff too. Rivers State Governor, Wike thinks himself a God. He is the one brainwashing other governors against signing the Memorandum of Action reached during the meeting of NGF and JUSUN with Labour Minister, whereas the two other parties (JUSUN and Labor ministry rep. FG) have signed. Earlier this week, he even tried using the Rivers State NBA chairman to call off the strike in Rivers State. The National Leadership of JUSUN Rose to the challenge swiftly and reminded him that both him and the governor lack such powers. Being a lawyer whose wife is a Judge should he not be in the Frontline of protecting the interest of the Judiciary? We will not succumb to their pressure this time.
I pray God to sustain you lawyers by any possible means.
We die there. We move!

You dey there dey complain of no sitting when all una mate don grab real estate job from us estate consultants.

Do Affiliate Marketing . That is what is helping me as a young lawyer ..

I understand you but why do I need to 'think ahead' in a basical level o if my so called law course is lucrative?

Think from the angle of this country self...things are no longer as they are before, bro

One need to hustle hard not get hyped with the course that keep making us broke indirectly!

Many resorted to driving Uber.

The people we call leaders are a curse to the nation. Someone said lawyers are on strike and no one noticed. Pray not to be arrested and you need a judge to grant your bail and the judge cannot sit.

Baba Ijesha.

Point of correction, it is not only judiciary workers at federal level that are on strike against Buhari but those of states are also on strike against their governors. One of the reasons for strike is refusal of state governors to give financial autonomy to the judiciary while those at federal level are enjoying the autonomy. I know blaming Buhari is your leisure but be more fair and logica lin doing it.

I hope one day, the Lawmakers will take a good look at a situation where the Wife of the Executive Governor of a State, is also the Chief Judge or a High-ranking Judge of that same State.
The Principles of Separation of Powers, in a Democracy, is not enhanced with such arraignment.
Having the Executive and Judiciary Arm under the "Same Roof" is not good for Democracy.
Ondo State had a similar conundrum, before the Pandemic.

Going forward, Tough People will rise up to the occasion, when Times are Tough.
We stay Strong.

Sincerely, the strike has made me lazier than usual.

I really feel sad for my colleagues who are not finding it easy. Really hoping that the strike gets called off before month end.

na land sale abi grabbing dem deh take survive..percentage and yahoo yahoo and the ladies doing olonsho by the side....dem full codedruns...

Never rely on one source of income, especially if you're a family man, so as to avoid insults.

Worse is there's no end on sight. The type of people in leadership positions in this country is something else.

Hope you are not ones of those people that were shouting Sia Baba bcoz if you are menhhhh.

The lawyers that are into street ain't complaining ,, in fact the strike has afforded them the opportunity to bomb endlessly while awaiting the dividends of the strike ABI judicial lockdown .
If you are a lawyer and gat a smartphone yet broke these times , my guy you de dull pass the dullard.

The truth is: you guys are practicing law in a lawless country

It's not permitted by the Lawyer' Rules of Professional Conduct to be having side businesses while practicing law. I am a lawyer myself.

Although, many lawyers don't obey it anyways.
