Emmanuel, its not easy for young lawyers in nigeria especially wen yr father is not one of those big lawyers.wen i came out of d university wt 2-1 i was full of hope but wen i started practising i bcame discouraged.i was asking myself is this d course i spent ten good years pursuing after my secondary sch b4 i cld secure admission.the senior coleagues are not helping d matters. i got  employment wt a very renown activist lawyer in allen in lagos on the salary of 2ok/month wc is hardly enough 4 tfare let alone feeding.he wanted me to be coming again on saturday but i told him no.do you know the most disgusting thing he said, 'dnt u know dt im doing u a favour by employing you, 'i was badly hit by the statement.i told him point blank dt i did not beg for work then i left.wt all d suffer way man suffer for skul.u can not ask 4money bco pple think dt lawyers are well paid.

It depends on your years of xperience and the location of d chamber.to be lawyers pay in Nigeria is nothing to write home about especially wen u are a new wig.lawyers are paid btw 10k and 15k in agege,2ok in ikeja,+_50k in ikoyi/vi all in lagos.some will not even pay anything
