How come this subject was moved from the "Law" category to the "Career" category?

Dosn't seem to fit the career topic, when it's actually about the legal topic.

The British had colonies in Africa, what is now called the Middle East, and in parts of Asia. Some of these former occupied colonial places post independence from the British are now world powers with strong economies and nuclear weapons for their defence.

Post independence African nations seem to want to hold on to colonial rubbish...such as wigs.

These former British occupied regions are now nuclear powered nations and don't wear wigs
India
Pakistan
China

These other British former colonies do not wear wigs
Bahrain
Kuwait
Oman
Palestine
Qatar
South Arabia (Yemen)
Jordan
Israel/Palestine
Iraq
Trucial Coast (United Arab Emirates)


These former British colonies in Africa do not wear wigs

alj harem: LOL My brother, you mean without a wig you cannot have prestige and confidence ?

How does the wig and gown help with your daily routine as a lawyer ?

Remember that some in the law are brainwashed. Thus, they love what their masters gifted to them....the wings to look clownish in.

ROSSIKE: You're a thoughtless moro.n to keep quoting that racist garbage from a semi-literate drunkard like Lugard. It is your racial inferiority complex that makes you think his words mean anything but the ignorant garbage spewed by the sort of drunken, unschooled louts that we see everyday here on the streets of London.

What do you think Frederick Lugard, Governor-General of Nigeria would think of black Nigerians wearing the wings? On top of that don't you think he'd be proud his statement that you're responding to? Heck, his wife was the one that named the country Nigeria in the first place. Wig wearing is that trash he left behind.

info@lpf:
I humbly disagree that it makes us look like fools.

I am a lawyer, called to the Nigerian Bar 20 years ago, I remember the pride with which I set off to Chancery Lane in London to get fitted for my wig and gown at 20! My colleagues from the USA and other non ceremonial dress countries, while they initially laugh at the pomp of it all, also admit that they do so with a certain sense of envy. There is a certain prestige and identification associated with the wig and gown, when properly made and worn, that makes all the years of studying and abuse worthwhile! I agree that not everyone can afford a wig and gown from Ede & Ravenscroft, but the folks who make them in Nigeria cut corners and produce sub standard end products (as evidenced by the jacked up wig on 1st page).

I will admit, the heat makes it a bit uncomfortable, but I can deal with a bit of discomfort. Besides, if all things were equal in Nigeria, all court rooms and hallways really should be air conditioned, at this point in our post-independence history.

I LOVE my wig and gown, and I humbly submit that I look fabulous in it!

You did not have any white or black lawyers in countries that don't wear wigs being of any envy for you getting fitted with a wig to look silly. No, way and no how did they ever tell you that. They just laughed at you when you got your photo taken and then laughed again when you were so proud to wear that foolishness upon your head.

One might wonder if the lawyers in Nigeria and the judges have ever thought about what they actually look like with these foolish looking white mens' wigs on? They look like an American Halloween costume or like they are dressing for the circus attending as the clown.

The wig signifies on black people in Africa and in the Caribbean....
"the typical African ... is a happy, thriftless, excitable person, lacking in self control, discipline and foresight, naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity ...in brief , the virtues and defects of this race-type are those of attractive children." -Frederick John Dealtry Lugard, Governor-General of Nigeria (1914–1919)

Nothing changes the fact that these black people in the legal systems that wear wigs look dumb. There is no question about that.

Most likely in private whites around the world have to be saying...."Look at these dumb Africans and dumb blacks in the Caribbean. Look how silly the British have them looking long after they are no longer a colony.

ROSSIKE: The very laws we practice are English laws, so why won't we wear English wigs?

In fact next thing we should start banning the use of traditional names and start painting ourselves white to complete the picture. Govt can import bleaching creams for everybody and distribute them for free..

Msshewww.... uselesss people!

Well,...ask the English that. They are no longer wearing the wings.

Why is it that black people will defined things forced upon them by whites more than the whites will that force these types of things...such as wearing of wigs in court.

Notice how black people act like they are the white people in question. It is almost like a black slave protecting his or her white slave master's wishes.

Is this how Nigerian's are?

It's just time for Nigeria to grow up. Stop looking like clowns and fools to the world. Get rid of those dumb wigs....England has done so!

Again, for those that are layers or who are in the law that enjoy wearing the wigs.

The lawyers aren't going to comment. They are the ones that are looking like the fools. How can one that dresses like a fool in the world even know he or she is one?

So, never expect the lawyers and judges that are in Africa and the Caribbean who wear these wigs to make a negative comment about their court dress. They will not. They are the ones that are sick in the mind and do not know it. It's called being brainwashed. Brainwashed people don't know they are brainwashed. In fact, the brainwashed person will defend their actions and will even show anger that one even questions their actions.

So, no the laywers and judges that wear the wigs will not say anything....they think they look normal and they think they look respectable. They don't even think they look like fools. Take note of their serious expressions when they are having their photos taken with those wigs on their heads. Yet, they think they look good. ....But, they look like fools to the world.

Why do you think South Africa stopped wearing the wigs even before the end of Apartheid?....Nigeria it's time to grow up and be independent.

Did you notice that the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom does not even wear the wigs....not even with Queen Elizabeth II standing beside them?

Take a look at the article and take note if you are a lawyer that likes wearing the wig.

Is Nigeria still a colony of the United Kingdom?

The mother of Nigeria
https://hh-bb.com/flora_shaw_ezg_1.jpg
Flora Louisa Shaw, Lady Lugard, DBE, the daughter of an English father, Captain (later Major General) George Shaw and a French mother, Marie Desfontaines, was a British journalist and writer. She is also known for having coined the name "Nigeria".

Flora Shaw was close to the three men who most epitomised empire in Africa: Cecil Rhodes, George Goldie and Frederick Lugard.

In 1902 she married the colonial administrator, Sir Frederick Lugard, who was Governor of Hong Kong (1907–1912) and Governor-General of Nigeria (1914–1919).

In an essay, which first appeared in The Times on 8 January 1897, she suggested the name "Nigeria" for the British Protectorate on the Niger River. In her essay Shaw was making a case for a shorter term that would be used for the "agglomeration of pagan and Mahomedan States" that was functioning under the official title, "Royal Niger Company Territories". She thought that the term "Royal Niger Company Territories" was too long to be used as a name of a Real Estate Property under the Trading Company in that part of Africa. Niger Area....Nigeria.

What is important in Shaw's article was that she was in search of a new name and she coined "Nigeria" in preference to such terms as "Central Sudan" that was associated with the area by some geographers and travellers. She thought that the term "Sudan" at this time was associated with a territory in the Nile basin, the current Sudan.

She then put forward this argument in The Times of 8 January 1897 thus: "The name Nigeria applying to no other part of Africa may without offence to any neighbours be accepted as co-extensive with the territories over which the Royal Niger Company has extended British influence, and may serve to differentiate them equally from the colonies of Lagos and the Niger Protectorate on the coast and from the French territories of the Upper Niger."

Frederick Lugard said "the typical African ... is a happy, thriftless, excitable person, lacking in self control, discipline and foresight, naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity ...in brief , the virtues and defects of this race-type are those of attractive children."

Frederick Lugard's "The Dual Mandate in British Tropical Africa" published in 1922

It discusses indirect rule in colonial Africa. In this work, Lugard outlined the reasons and methods that he recommended for the colonisation of Africa by Britain. Some of his justifications included spreading Christianity in traditional African religion and Islamic Africa. He also saw state-sponsored colonisation as a way to protect white Christian missionaries, local native African kings, and local people from each other as well as from foreign powers. Also, for Lugard, it was vital that Britain gain control of unclaimed areas before Germany, Portugal, or France claimed the land and its resources for themselves. He realised that there were vast profits to be made through the exporting of resources like rubber and through taxation of native populations, as well as importers and exporters. In addition, these resources and inexpensive native labour (slavery having been outlawed by Britain in 1834) would provide vital fuel for the industrial revolution in resource-depleted Britain as well as monies for public works projects. Finally, Lugard reasoned that colonisation had become a fad and that in order to remain a super power, Britain would need to hold colonies in order to avoid appearing weak.

Lugard pushed for native black African rule in African colonies. He reasoned that black Africans were very different from white Europeans. He considered that African natives should act as a sort of middle manager in colonial governance. This would avoid revolt because, as Lugard believed, the people of Africa would be more likely to follow someone who looked like them, spoke their languages, and shared their customs.

It's a sickness.

Did you notice how that article tied in the African and Caribbean wig wearing to those that enslave them with that video and those slave action papers?

http://dilemma-x.net/2012/05/09/is-now-the-time-to-remove-wig-wearing-in-africas-commonwealth-and-caribbean/

When will Africans take pride in Africans and stop trying to act like they are from Europe?

We have so many of our own beautiful traditional formal clothing that we can use that style of dress instead of using wigs and European court sytles.

What was the purpose of gaining independence from European nations in the first place if the goal was to keep Africans and blacks in the Caribbean looking like fools to the entire world? Africans and blacks in the Caribbean get no respect from India, Pakistan, China, Japan or any other nations that were once occupied by European empires.

Also....the hair they use looks just like the wigs they wore when they came and took people from Africa to the Americas to enslave them. They look like the wigs the British wore when they came to colonize South Africa.

Why do you think the white Americans and the white South Africans and white Canadians don't wear those wigs?....Because they are no longer British.

England has even stopped wearing them too most of the time!.

Why must black people always defend keeping bullcrap Black people want to keep white people's stuff more than the white people who forced that crap upon Africans and blacks in the Caribbean.

Face it. Nigeria looks dumb and stupid as the most populated nation in the African world.

Nigeria, Ghana and Zimbabwe out of all African counties should stop wearing wigs. And Jamaica in the Caribbean really should be ashamed.

South Africa doesn't do that crap

How about they should look like men and women that respect themselves instead of looking like fools to the entire world?

Look how we look stupid....

The British don't do this silly stuff when they elect their new Prime Minister

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wl3eTF6sA0s

And what do Africans and blacks in the Caribbean think they are doing? When the British themselves got rid of that crap and Americans, Canadians and South Africans did too.

igbo2011.....we wish they were doing like the Egyptians. NOT ...they are doing silly things like that photo above as someone called a mop!

Martin55 you are so correct. Nigeria likes to act like they are so powerful ...yet, look at their president when he takes the oath of office....he has these people looking like fools swearing him in.

This is the same thing in Ghana and in Zimbabwe. The presidents are sworn into office with people with wigs on.....fools. They actually look like clowns.

When will Africans make Africans proud to be African?

Just think about this.....what must white people around the world think and feel when they see black Africans and blacks in the Caribbean looking so stupid? The whites have to feel very impowered. They must being thinking...."look how dumb these educated black people are, yet they are so dumb they do not even know how dumb they actually look to the world."

This has to stop. What is wrong with black people? It is like we gained independence from the British...yet, black want to look like the British.

The British have even stopped wearing those stupid looking white and blond hair wigs. Those photos of black people on the link above really shows how stupid some black Africans and black people from the Caribbean look.

When will Nigeria stop wearing wigs looking like fools to the entire world?

I came across this article look how we look totally stupid to the world.

Check this article out and check out more pictures here:
Is now the time to remove wig wearing as part of court dress in Africa’s Commonwealth of Nations and those in the Caribbean?
