Would You Advice Someone To Study Law, The Noble Profession In Nigeria ? by Synord(m): 2:33pm On Jun 20, 2021 |
Growing Up , A lot of people regarded law as a noble profession . The profession of the learned . When Kids are asked , what do you want to become when’s you grow up ? . Most of the kids would respond with these the three major professions , Doctor , Lawyer , Engineer and Other professions will follow . Looking at the situation of things now , it seems the legal profession is the worst hit as it pertains to the decline of prestige once attached to the professions. It is quite worrisome and shameful the state of most lawyers and law graduates in the present Nigeria . A twitter thread a while back showed the horror stories most young Lawyers and even Lawyers that are 5 - 6 years at the bar are facing . Poor remuneration of below 50k , court strikes that leads to zero litigation cases , disregard for court pronouncements and lack of a proper structure to cater to the needs of lawyers in the country . Many have said why practice law in a lawless nation ? . This question is especially close to the truth when one realizes that the level of corruption in the judiciary and how difficult it is to perhaps succeed in the profession without election petition cases and dubious government transactions . Even the assigning of the conferred position of Senior Advocates of Nigeria is saddled with corruption . More so, Nigeria seems To a country that many citizens do not value the services of a lawyer until when trouble comes . As such , most do not value retainer-ship agreement and those that do give meager fees . It is even more difficult because a lot of lawyers are out there and if one refuses due to the obtainable standard of charge anywhere in the world , another Nigerian lawyer hungry for a crumb of case will take it up. It seems there are too many lawyers for people who are either too ignorant to believe their services are of value or too supposedly knowledgeable with the system to know that resolving issues in the court of law in Nigeria is one hell of a battle . A mere look at the actions of the current attorney general of the federation as regards sensitive issues like cattle grazing and social media ban , the removal and treatment of a Chief Justice of Nigeria , raid of the houses of chief justices of states by the security agencies , unpaid salaries of magistrates and calibre of lawyers that become SANS has pointed a lot to the state of legal practice in Nigeria ? The big question now is “ would an average Nigerian say law is a noble profession and will you still Advice someone to study law in this present Nigeria ? 23 Likes 5 Shares |

Lol. I wouldn't advise even my foe to study law in Nigeria. Where do we even start, first there are hundreds of thousands of folks who think they are lawyers regretting that they studied law, secondly law does not work in a country where the political climate is unstable, horrendous human right record, no regard for the rule of law and buckled democracy. And the so called SAN means absolutely nothing. Nigeria modelled it democracy to countries in the west but hasn't grown to their level in everything, for example in the United States you've got so many options to practice your trade because of their humongous advancement whereas in Nigeria lawyers only get cases because of basic issues that shouldn't have existed like Election matter, Political Corruption, etc. So No don't study law. 51 Likes 10 Shares |

I'm bothered about these questions. Study something you are interested in as it sure would make a way for you. If you need someone to discuss with, consult your guidance counselor. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

Tertiary education for Nigeria na scam. Going to school in Nigeria should just be to socialize because socialization itself is education on its own. Apart from that, education in Nigeria is rubbish 59 Likes 6 Shares |

So they can graduate to find out that the country has two laws. And sadly they studied the wrong one that is hardly used or when used it is restricted to the poor, thereby making them charge & bail lawyer. 21 Likes 1 Share |

Hell No! The smart ones start up a shop for company registration, travel & tours, property management, laundry & dry cleaning services and even fumigation... Yes ooooo. If Owu blow you, there's noting you won't do. You see the stubborn ones wearing one faded suit 5 times a week in police departments negotiating bail for criminals. The fortunate ones are the children of successful lawyers. Those ones resume work at their parent's Chambers after NYSC/Law school. I dey sha dey entertained by their arrogance, you see them carrying their shoulders up as if they have 30 billion in their akants. Shi-shi.... 31 Likes 1 Share |

Yes, and of course, the law profession remains a noble and lucrative profession. There is no versatile - seasoned or not - lawyer in Nigeria that is perpetually poor. There are more areas of practice in law other than litigation, and even at that, versatile seasoned litigators are well off. 5 Likes |
