I am in my early thirties;
Single (but searching for an independent lady, all things being as they are now);
A mostly self self- sponsored Law graduate of NOUN, I came from a humble background.

I manage a POS stand, I plan to start a
new business but I am yet to gather enough finance for that.
And I am having this pressure from people to marry-in form of advice(which I find intruding anyways), but my financial status is strong enough to marry but not to raise a family.
Now, the Nigerian law school has given our first set of Law graduates the admission, although the programme is divided into the "Preliminary" and bar part II , each of this programme cost 300,000 Let me keep 150,000 for feeding and textbooks. The total budget for law school becomes 750,000 Naira. This estimate is very economical.
Studying in Nigerian Law School is full time and quite elitist, if I put all available fund into law school I will be starting afresh after graduation, considering the job market and remuneration for young lawyers.

Fellow Nairalanders, including the lawyers in the house, please advise me on if and when I should do each of the 3 items I will list below, especially vis-a-vis the other items:
1. Attending law school
2. Starting a new business
3.Getting married

Comot marriage for the picture, you only have 2 option.

Op go with this advice, delete marriage from your options.

Back to the two options, it all depends on you, if you still have that urge and determination to finish your academics and believe in a successful career in law, go ahead and proceed to the law school.

If you feel that law is overrated and there would be basically no job for you upon graduation from law school, and you're convinced that you can make it big in business, then by all means tour the business path.

Good luck.

I think you should focus on the business. If you aren't sure of making a first class in law school, it's not worth the investment. Salary for new lawyers is between 10 to 30k and that's in Lagos. It's even worse in other states. Your business won't survive by the time you come out of law school since it will take all your time. If you are sure of first class, you can go to law school. The first class graduates from law school are automatically recruited to reputable law firms that pay "okay" salaries.

@op think in line with tensa advice.

Give law school a shot if you're sure of getting a first class in law school. It will make no sense if after you finish law school you now start building up your business from scratch, something you would have built if you weren't absent.

And by the way, strike out marriage from your mind
That would be a misplaced priority(for now)

My mother is the number one supporter I marry, while consoling me that with a good lady, it will be alright with time.
My father supports my personal opinion–I am not ripe for marriage, mother wants me to give her the job of looking for a wife for me even.

Actually, no amount of money is enough after getting married.
