₦airaland Forum

Because even Nigeria have lost hope in her Judiciary system we prefer to settle our matter amicably

Am not a lawyer but this read is educating.

ChukwuEmeka00:
Thanks for the tip.

I'm not very conversant with the Nairaland platform.

Please, what's FP mods and how do I locate it?

Thanks for the article as it is interesting.

There are people who moderate things here in each section. They are the ones responsible for moving a topic from a section to the front page(FP) fo wider views

Lawyers are high earners if you know what you are doing. I earned over 58m in fees on Wednesday.

Not all lawyers understand the technicalities of the profession, but passion also plays an important role. Some did not have the opportunity to be mentored by seasoned attorneys, while others are confident in their abilities. Many have carved out a niche for themselves and chosen fields in which they want to specialize. Fortune favors the bold, and almost all the lawyers I have worked with are doing well.

ChukwuEmeka00:
Not If other lawyers create more awareness about their services and prove to the audience (potential clients) that they're equally well trained and efficient in service delivery.

Most of them just sit at home and wait for referrals (which is a recipe for poverty).

They are not allowed to market their service in that way.

Law practices and lower, high and Supreme Court court judgement systems are the causes of disagreements systems operations in any country with lawyer practices systems in the world 🌎 , thereby causing trouble making systems among themselves which ends up underdevelopement operations in the country concerned.
South Korea the highest and largest ocean going vessels Ship builders in the 🌎 world today, after the end of the 2nd world wars in 1945 started free education at all levels from primary to University levels with 85% intake on Science and technology, and 15% intake in Korean Arts. and Cultures with No admission intake into LAW. That is why today South Korea and North Korea are among the largest Industrial and Technological producers in the world as they don't need law systems operations disturbance systems operations.

Oga, this surest way to make it as a lawyer in nigeria is to become an overnight human right activist and start protesting on the streets of lagos and Abuja for vulnerable citizens. From there , you easily become visible and clients start chasing you as a human right activist (Though FAKE activist). There after join politics and if you fail, join any government in power to make it big.

Example of such overnight activists abound everywhere in Nigeria like Keyamo, Olisa Agbakoba, Femi Falana, Wahab Shittu, that GEJ government lawyer from Edo (I have forgotten his name now) etc. Deji Adeyanju is currently doing same.

That human rights activist strategy works like magic.

Natbrowny:
Femi Falana go still pack all d cases available enter office..

because of most Naijs lawyers want easy charge and bail cases. Femi Falana wants difficult cases like suing Abacha military govt, shell, big banks, governors etc

Person just go AI

Copy and paste

I can't pay any lawyer more than 50k stamping deed and power of attorney for me.



Never.

sofeo:
It's well with them.

What exactly does this comment contribute to this discussion?

Better call Saul

OP you re ignoring a fac, there are just too many lawyers in the country, too many reading law in schools. Goto a typical tertiary school, how many law students do we have in a law faculty? Thousands. How many do we have in Faculty of Engineering, not up to 200.

When there is an oversupply of something the value plummets, same with humanities, forget about all the drama you re speaking.

The only rich lawyers in Nigeria are those who are into politics or are politicians.

No matter your profession, you can't thrive where hard work, integrity , innovation and honesty are scorned by the elite.

Instead of them to go to the prisons where they will see thousands of clients, they will be busy forming posh.

Fiscus105:
Lawyer is poor profession (for significant numbers of lawyers), but tagged with big name just like accountants.

The number of lawyers available, far far outnumbered the lawyers needed, to make their matter worst, it's a profession in which, "mighty" won't allow the upcoming to make headway, unlike doctors, engineers, pharmacists or even accountants.

EVERY BIG CASE MUST GO TO SANs & OTHER BIG LAWYERS, WHILE "CHARGE AND BAILs" GO TO MUSHROOM LAWYERS.

simply put
The lawyers you're pertaining to cannot fight for the Law.
The Police have guns, that's why theirs is understandable.
Naija na fool's paradise - practise mumuism and e fit pay

If you know your onion & do proper marketing, you will be alright

I met a lawyer on social media some years back and I gave him 2 personal job

I gave his contact to some of my friends too and he handled their job very well

Funny enough, he's a young man but he's good at what he does

Be honest, is he wealthy today?

Their problem is that they want to be jack of all trades and eh result is that they are master of none. and you see only masters of something earn big.
They are virtually in all sectors doing jobs they know nothing about instead of exploring the legal loopholes of those professions.
The want to be sicker coach, site supervisors, real estate managers without any experience and for training on such. Let them think out if the box and leave that mentality that they are superior to others professions .

Too many lawyers. Everybody that goes to art class in secondary school automatically wants to become a lawyer.

Most Nigerians don't believe in the legal system. It's too fraudulent and rigged to favour the rich.

Many Nigerians are not rich enough to afford lawyers. There are cases where some Nigerians spend years in prison just because they can't afford to bail themselves.

That's nothing. I routinely earn like Ned Nwoko below.

Ned Nwoko's 6th (sixth!!) wife is celebrity Regina Daniels, 42 years his junior, whom he married when she was 19, and after he already had 15 children.

All from Law!!

Not all that was written up is true.

Lawyers in nigeria are poor because NIGERIANS ARE EXTREMELY POOR as we speak

The only time a poor Nigerian would ever think of breaking the bank for a legal service is when he or she has eaten and eaten well

Study Maslow hierarchy of needs and wants.

Food and shelter are number 1 priority.

There are too many hungry nigerians as i type this post

How can they afford anything except food.

Also Nigerians economy is not as advanced where you have different forms of practice evolve from legal practise


For instance, In ibadan there is nothing called the Oil and Gas sector here so all you have is legal matters on contracts, chieftaincy titles, land, and criminal activities. Except these things, you would never need a LAWYER

Also on the land aspect, you have agents now who have taken over the work of LAWYERS, they use the same template for legal agreements in breach of the law and they even charge more than the lawyers 10 percent

So why wont Lawyers be poor.

I have a lot of colleagues who have left the practice and who have abandoned their careers all together

It takes years to be a senior lawyer that's when the banks or politicians or rich clients can use you and that's when you can now begin to reap the fruits of your labour but before then

Poverty would be very very close to ones side.

DaddyCoool:

He's is not wealthy but he's not broke cos he built a house for his family, bought 2 cars for himself & 1 for his wife. Owns a side business apart from his lawy firm and non of his staffs ever complained of not getting their salaries

I know this much cos I took him as a friend and a brother

maybet081:
Being a lawyer in Nigeria is immoral.

The reason I opted to read another course in the university. I have a lawyer uncle who is super-corrupt! I couldn't deal with his behaviour, so much repugnance I felt that I had to change my mind about studying law.

Lack of visibility and packaging.

You need this to attract the rich clients that will make you rich.

Again there is seniority in law practice, SAN will always come first and regarded most

SourYoghurt:
start of their career broke, yes, but 4 years post call, most beats the 1m income range.

cc folake4u

Lol Oga.

The whole write-up amuses me especially as it's coming from a non-lawyer.

Very very obvious.

I'm so amused.

DaddyCoool:

A lawyer would never write like that or bash the profession in that manner. He mentioned RPC. Ask him what that means without looking it up on Google.
