what are u saying? There are at least 10 igbos in that list....could be 11 or 12 cos some names there sound igboish too... the remaining 28 include ss people, northerners and yoruba....so wat are u saying again
Edited. Yorubas are 15 while igbos are 11...so its not a clear yoruba victory....but yet again these 2 tribes always dominate in fair playing fields while the northerners take a distant 3rd...chai

I go do am. You too no forget to pray.

Do these guys ever 'win' any major case in court that's not based on technicalities?

Sometimes i just feel like nigerian lawyers are just good at defence...looking for loopholes or experts at seeking adjournment

Better by far

So na Yoruba people still get education for 9ja but I been hear say Igbos overtake dem? Abi na lie?

Are igbos.not ably represented in the list?
What is so special about having the youngest?
It is just one person.

One young igbo man is the best graduate ever in the history of the Nigerian law school and became its youngest ever lecturer.
He just finished his law fellowship programme from harvard which he got on scholarship, and is already back at the NLS.
Dosen't change the fact that it still counts as one.

Bragging is for inferior empty vessels.

Appointment of SANs that everybody knows has been bastardised like every thing else in Nigeria's legal profession, including appointment of judges. Even if you meet the laid down criteria, you'll not be appointed by the corrupt judges and lawyers who constitute the Legal Practitioners Privileges committee and Body of Benchers unless you've the right connections or you "do the needful" (ah, that phrase again! God!).
