Although the Minister later deleted the tweet where she claimed no such agreement exists, it is noteworthy to question why she said it in the first place. On what basis, on whose authority did she enter into such an agreement on behalf of Nigeria without consulting with the Attorney General and the Nigerian Bar Association? By signing that agreement, this inexperienced minister just undermined the entire Nigerian judiciary and undermined Nigeria. The painful part is that there is no reciprocal agreement to allow Nigerian lawyers practice in the UK. Doris Anite, what are you doing? You have not done anything to foster trade among Nigerian states, enhance exports to African market and global markets. I am sorry, it seems Stella Okotete has more brains than you in understanding trade and exports. Because of your inexperience and immaturity, you have committed Nigeria to something that embarrasses the entire country. To even think you are way older than Kemi Badenoch who played you like a badly beaten chicken drenched with ice water during harmattan. In the US, you must pass the state bar exams before you can practice in that state if you hold the license in another state. Who the hell are you to waive licensing for UK lawyers to practice in Nigeria? Please start looking for countries who need our yams, sesame seeds, cocoa beans, groundnut and fruits. Stop all these your brainless traveling that has not yielded anything positive and has certainly not exposed you as someone who knows what the hell she is doing. 92 Likes 10 Shares |

After learning about the yeye agreement earlier, this was my reaction: From media reports, the deal won't benefit Nigeria in any way. British people just want to take, take and just keep taking. British people are a bunch of bloody users and thieves! A country that isn't a major crude oil exporter but has one of the world's richest oil and gas company, Shell. 44 Likes 4 Shares |

Your fear that you lawyers will be exposed now. Why is it that Nigerians are working in all sectors abroad but we always limits people from other nations working in some areas in Nigeria So federal government must consult NDA before taking any decision that will benefit the masses.

SoNature: NNPC is the useless organization here. The reason why countries that have no crude oil exploit us is they have brains and are patriotic. NNPC is a company that has no rigs, cannot run refineries, cannot explore hydrocarbons, lacks expertise...this is why they have time to commit atrocities like paying subsidies, mortgaging our future crude oil earnings to pay subsidies, ruining refineries and so on. NNPC does not not know how much crude oil is taken out of Nigeria daily by the IOCs. The NNPC business model is only known to NNPC and is exploitative of Nigerians. IOCs have exploited us because NNPC is incompetent. 66 Likes 9 Shares |

123yes: Actually, there is a code/act for legal practitioners in Nigeria. To practice law in Nigeria, you must pass the Nigerian Bar exams and be called to bar. Doris Anite just waived that for UK lawyers. The federal government need not consult the NBA before taking such a decision. They ought to amend the laws and NBA must have an input there. No country will do what Doris Anite did yesterday. 62 Likes 3 Shares |

Good development that the NBA has taken up the fight to squarely oppose the proposed intrusion into our legal system by our erstwhile colonial master. For me, they see us as a people who are gullible and can be fleeced at every given opportunity. The quest to partake in the "gold rush" during election seasons is the enticement that is attracting these leeches. Why are they not signing such trades agreements with south Africa or Kenya? As long as the deal doesn't automatically permits Nigeria trained lawyers the same unrestrained rights to practice law in the UK , then that agreement is equivalent to self immolation. I'm not sure any charlatan garbed in a political cloak will advocate same in the health profession as foreign trained doctors may not understand the nuances of tropical diseases. 7 Likes |

No qualms. Such agreement should include the UK lawyers passing through our school systems and The Nigerian Law School, before they can practise. Don't just reject this offer. Imagine if they should reject Nigerian medical doctors, nurses, engineers, et Al. Make una think am Wella! 6 Likes |

In my opinion, what Nigeria lawyers authority should do is setting their practice exam, and whoever pass should be allowed to practice. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Doris Anite is a dumb ass. Why is she signing agreements on behalf of Nigeria? Isnโt this agreement supposed to be reviewed and signed by the Presidency? Who in the Presidency cleared this rubbish agreement? Obviously these Ministers have shown they have the thinking capacity of a potato. They should not be allowed close to any cash or making any final decisions about the country without being scrutinized and cleared by the Presidency or the SGF and final signature by the President? 8 Likes |

I tell you. There are loads of imbeciles commenting on nairaland. How does a minister of trade take such a decision without consulting the attorney General or the NBA? How is such a policy going to work? Do the Brits know or understand Nigerian laws? Did they take the bar exam? Are they going to law school? Just thinking of this is sacrilegious! The NBA should fight tooth and nail against such nonsense. To think that it is not reciprocal makes me boil with rage! How can she do such with no consultation? BadMaster: 7 Likes |

When you sell yourself, you become very common, and you lose your respect drastically. The Nigerian judiciary has not seen the height of the embarrassment they will get. Las las, FG will look for 5 of them who will take bribes and cause confusion in their camp. UK-based lawyers will start taking a bigger share of the revenues for lawyers. Most big companies will start employing Nigerian UK-based lawyers as their company secretaries. Lol. Dangote, Ote$, Adenuga, etc will soon dump the as.ses of Nigerian-based lawyers. Dem never start....even political cases where they always cash out will be given more to UK-based lawyers... Lawyers will permanently be omoniles' solution. Nothing else dem go fit do again. They will turn to toughs who drag land and properties with omonile. 2 Likes |
