Lifestone:
But bro why do you wear shirts, T shirt and suits (if you do) which are English wears? and not only native attires. Sometimes we over dramatize things.

lennymutai:
we still practice law law thought by them.It is their system.How times have heard lawyers when arguing a case reffering to case ruled in england years.Reyland vs fletcher Solomon vs Solomon.No matter how much we think we have freed from the yoke of colonialism it is sad that in reality that isn't true.A country like Ethiopia that was never colonised may find it easier to run their systems without import from any other country.It also depents On the way you look at it,for example a young graduate from college who has been studying law and growing knowing that one day I will put on that wig so to him or her it will be fulfilling once he or she finally does that.In other words it is a symbol.If we must do away with this we must also do away with military badges and symbols.

Nearly 60 years after independence from colonial rule, why do our lawyers still wear these things on their heads?



Is it that we cannot devise a home-grown attire for our lawyers, or is it that we so love the colonial rulers and exploiters of our land, that we just cannot let go of their legacy?

Did somebody do juju on us to turn us into mumus where the colonialists are concerned?

India, Pakistan, and parts of China were colonised by the British. But their legal systems have jettisoned those colonial wigs ages ago.

In Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, and other ex-colonies, still continue to wear them.

What is wrong with us as a people?

Seriously, we need to approach our ancestors for forgiveness, in case we did something to them that made them place a curse on us, that has turned us into dumb mumus without basic common sense and dignity, especially where it concerns Europeans.

Imagine for a second how the white people will be laughing their heads off when they see us wearing these things, a full sixty years after independence.

It's truly disgusting.

Wig wearing lawyers is the least of our problems

ShenTeh:


You have a point that may be very meaningful but it suffers poor presentation.

1. You didn't tell us the origin of wearing the wig and why it is associated with colonialism.

2. You didn't tell us why [not] wearing it directly affect the discharge of the duties of our 'learned colleagues'

3. You did not give example(s) of what the countries you mentioned have used to replace the wig.

4. You failed to offer alternatives.

5. Anyway, fine perapective on abrogating our mental colonialism.

As far as we as citizens of Nigeria are concern the the traditional wig they put on is not an issue, rather we should ponder on the quality of judgments we get. For example, we're in a country where a GSM phone thief is slammed with 5yrs imprisonment and a political thief that stole our commonwealth will be granted bail by same men on wig, so how do we reconcile this?

mikolo4us:
Is of your wig?

kennygee:
I no know o.

I'm on the 7th season of Suits, watched Private Practice for years now, and never have I seen lawyers in other countries, from movies I've watched, wear wigs.

Na Shakespeare way we still dey follow.
