Nigeria is just an exploit center, and a dumping ground.... When goat sees a fine yam heap and there's nobody securing it, it consumes everything, even to the last milk.

Did Nigeria in anyway say they are lacking lawyers? Can Nigerian lawyers equally practice there? After executing Brexit and regretting that decision they now want to deceive a dying country into a peace deal.

Probably…..on a bilateral/equal-partner basis! But what you can take to the bank is the fact that our judges will not be allowed anywhere near the British legal systems bench!

You will be shocked to find out that the deal os one soded, that Nigerian lawyers can't practice freely over there.

Dem wan chop our money for legal side too. Nigeria should ban foreign lawyers from practicing in Nigeria. Protect judicial industry, so Nigerians eat from it not outsiders.

I wish the UK lawyers could even go further to take over practice of human rights laws, electoral laws, criminal laws etc. It'll be so interesting because I trust the white man to do the right thing no matter whose ox is gored.

Unlike our corrupt charge and bail lawyers, the UK lawyers would not be taking bribes from government and wealthy individuals to pervert the course of justice.

Very stupid deal.

While our engineers and doctors go there and start from square 1 despite their low level of expertise so they will just come and practice.

Bad News for our lawyers...they will set up their own law firms in Nigeria, and use their own people to sign multi-national contracts with Nigeria.

That UK Kemi is bad news for Nigeria...but I don't feel bad for our lawyers, they are part of the problem and most of them have gotten rich via corruption and corrupt practices...colluding against the interests of the nation.

I hope it will see UK commit to working towards removing barriers preventing Nigeria lawyers from practicing international and foreign law in uk, a step that could significantly increase Nigeria legal services exports too?

Slave air head.

The only reason you can read and write today is because we gained independence in 1960 and our leaders began building thousands and thousands of schools under the Universal Primary Education (UPE) policy which raised literacy rate from 5% in 1960, after a century of British looting and theft of your resources which left Nigeria an undeveloped BUSH at independence.

Nigerian leaders raised that literacy rate to just over 70% so far. Were it not for them, you would be a village illiterate today. Because mass education was NOT a policy of the colonial administration.

Which is why most of our grandparents were village illiterates.

Look around you and tell me ONE infrastructure or industry or even major hospital that was built by the British in their time here.

One thing you mentally colonised, dumbass white worshipping Nigerians need to understand is that the ONLY REASON a white country will come here to rule or control you is because they want to EXPLOIT YOU.

They’ve been doing this for centuries, yet your thick skulls still see them as angels.

I actually suspect they did some occult thing on you guys to make you so subservient and trusting of them, despite all the terrible atrocities they committed against you and your ancestors, including looting your ancient treasures after burning down your cities and palaces, and mass murdering your people in various colonial invasions.

They actually have your stolen bronze treasures proudly displayed in their museums right now!

Where are the “honest British lawyers and judges” in confronting that theft and brigandage?

Honest fuckries.

Good question and if this isn't the case, then there's nothing to rejoice over since the Nigerian government won't be gaining anything from the deal.

What an ignorant thing to type.

What do they teach in British law schools that is different from the same Common Law system you inherited from them?

Do Nigerian graduates not travel and excel in those places?

Nigerian standards are even higher, from my experience.
