Law Is Not The Only “Learned Profession” By Farooq A. Kperogi by Racoon(m): 9:37pm On Sep 09, 2023 |
Nigerian lawyers like to say their profession is the "only learned profession." That's both ignorant and ahistorical. They also think the term "my learned friend"--used in British courts as a form of address by lawyers on opposing sides of cases--is a validation of their claim that their profession is the "only learned profession." Again, that's wrong.https://www.farooqkperogi.com/2023/09/law-is-not-only-learned-profession.html 43 Likes 6 Shares

At this point, I am never going to call any man who studied law and is defending election robbery a learned gentleman again, I am more learned than all of them. I won't be surprised to learn that under their suit, they are wearing NURTW vests and carrying broken bottles and knives in their pockets. 74 Likes 7 Shares |

I can vivdly remember how Donald Duke bragged about being learned when he was still governor of Crossrivers. He was addressing journalists and he indirectly made a statement that lawyers are more learned than journalists. Ego runs in Nigeria in almost everything. Some that have bsc will say they are better than hnd graduates. I have been in court several times, and have been disappointed many times by the performance of some lawyers representing their clients. 55 Likes 3 Shares |

Well written. If you attend courts in Nigeria, you will be shocked by the extent of most lawyers' poor understanding of basic procedural rules, and shoddy case preparation. Judges spend an inordinate time tutoring lawyers appearing before them on basic interpretation and application of rules and laws. Many lawyers have been in practice for more than 20 years, and have appeared in courts hundreds of time, yet they don't know much. They mostly rely on bravado. Take a look at the Labour party case at the tribunal which was strewn with several amateur errors despite a legal team consisting of several SANs. Truth is, most Nigerians, whether they are carpenters, brick layers, hair dressers, doctors, engineers etc simply do not pay attention to detail in their line of work. Most mechanics can't repair a vehicle properly. Many carpenters can't construct a 4-legged table without one leg being slightly longer or shorter than the others. Every 2 weeks I go for a haircut to the same barber but return home looking different each time despite always requesting the same hair style. In Nigeria, consistent quality is absent in almost all fields. 113 Likes 11 Shares |

The funny thing about the legal profession in Nigeria at the moment is that lawyers are at the forefront of deriding and casting aspersions on judges and the judiciary as a whole. The PEPT judgement was at best a huge embarrassment to all the SANs on parade by the petitioners. One begins to wonder what they went to court to do if they couldn't present the most basic element of evidence to claim victory or demand election cancellation. If I was Atiku or Obi, I would be thinking of how my lawyers scammed me with their shameful incompetence. Or how the lawyers were secretly working for Tinubu because, all I can see is self-sabotage as that's the only explanation that will make sense. What's tha business? 20 Likes 5 Shares |

🤔 The Irony of this is that the learned professionals would also tell you " ignorant of the law is not an excuse " ...Biko how many provisions do we want to know ... As for Surgeons knowing when not to operate that is perhaps an ethical thing base on the oath swore ... unfortunately a Lawyer is bond to also take up his client case provide he accepts to , whether the case is good or bad, what is important is how to outplay the other party and lastly if case no dey how lawyer go chop...🎩 7 Likes |
