Olayishade:
Lawyers wearing wig to court depends on the jurisdiction of the court they are going to
There is no need for a lawyer to wear a wig if he is having a case in high court,appeal court and other lower courts
But if he has a case in Supreme Court then it’s a must for him to put his wig
Another reason why lawyers put on wig is to dinstinguish between a senior advocate that is a SAN from a junior lawyer(ordinary Barristers)
SAN are to put on a wig in a court to show that they are senior advocate of Nigeria

This is not correct.

I will understand if you are not a lawyer. But if you are, then this is disappointing.

Nigerian Lawyers have to put on their regulation wear (Black suit, usually with Baristers jacket and trousers, with white collarless shirts etc.) and a wig and gown - in all the SUPERIOUR COURTS OF RECORD (High Courts and above e.g.Court of Appeal, National Industrial Courts, Supreme Courts etc.)

But in the Lower Courts (e.g. Magistrate Courts, Customary Courts, Area Courts, Sharia Courts)... a lawyer may not necessarily put on the regulation wear and wig and gown.

In fact, if you visit the Magistrate Courts, where 80% of Nigeria cases starts from - you would hardly see a Lawyer in wig and gown. They are all in Suits (doesn’t even have to be black... but can be dark blue suit and Dark grey suit).

Most people on this thread are not lawyers - but they have been displaying their ignorance to the world. Even in tribunals... the wig and gown may not be adorned.

Bottom line is that if Is a regulation wear. The same way Doctors put on White robes in the Hospital instead of Black robes. Same way engineers and military men have their regulation wears.

Is there a problem with that?

Thanks bro.

its not about the cloth, it's about class, same applies for all ostentatious goods.

ArticleBeast:
It is brand identity. The same with Rolls Royce, Apple and other luxury product.

I totally agree with you that the brand is being sold. But You can’t compare both classes of goods.

You probably get the best apple product right now for Nigerian #700k.

Thats 3 times less than the piece of clothing identified above.

1. the cost of producing the Apple #700k product and the technology involved should be valued roughtly 350k (if not more than, I am not a technologist.). Same goes with the Rolls-Royce. The raw materials, cost of production and value of the product is still commensurate with the Price. The cost of producing this clothing is in no way commensurate with #2.3m

2. As an entertainer. You probably won’t like to be seen putting on a piece of clothing for more than one or two events - no matter how much you bought it. But your average Rolls-Royce or Apple product is your every day showbiz. In other words, you will probably derive more value from both brands than clothings.

3. Nd lastly, the Rolls-Royce and Apple products are conduits to making more money. E.g. I have made so much money through my iPhone... way way above the value I bought it. So Yh, the investment paid off. Same way loads of rich people take their Rolls-Royce to close multi-million naira deals.

Bottom line is that - a piece of clothing does actually worth less compared its price Nd the other luxurious goods you alluded to.

Again- I understand it’s showbiz.

How a cloth maker can justify selling a piece of clothing for #2.3m beats me.

The materials plus the knitting probably does not cost more than #300k.

It’s mostly just the name or Brand that these folks pay for.

The irony of it is the notorious economic doctrine of diminishing returns. I hope these guys do sure have a heap of investments for the benefit of their kids and future generations.

Otherwise, they’d be surprised this piece of clothing will sell for less than #1000 in the next two decades - perhaps in the same value their career would inevitably depreciate with time.

It is well!

But truth be told - Most black American Christians are Secular Christians.

I don’t know which is worse -
Nigerians Predominantly Hypocritic Christian Life
or
Americans Secular Christianity where anything goes.

Only God knows those who serve him.

It’s called Kinesics....

It speaks a lot about a person.

The manner in which Sanwo Olu points and carries his body - you can deduce that he has an overbearing personality.

He doesn’t just point at objects, he points at people too. And in Yoruba land, it is disrespectful to Point at other people, unless of course an elder to a younger relationship.

It doesn’t mean he is proud - it just means he bossy.

The irony is that I find him to be an incompetent governor by Lagos’s standard.

That part got me so cracked up

In this life ehn... do your best to be successful. People will only associate with you when you are successful.

Have you not noticed?
The moment people can no longer benefit from you... you will stop seeing them. Everybody is that selfish.

All the best to the young lady.

Comments above are so unfair

RexTramadol1:
You could have been right but not everyone will fancy entrepreneurial skills, not everyone will fancy tie and not everyone will like politics




Everyone has got their choices and it doesn't make them different from another person



A politician will see you in the farm and be like, this wan just dey suffer himself while I'm making cool money



A C.E.O will see a civil servant and be like, if you had the foresight you won't impoverish yourself with government job




And an oil worker with shell and the likes will see a C.E.O and be like, these ones live on loans while I make my millions sitting in towers




What's important is contentment, if everyone goes into farming, who will buy from farmers



If everyone goes into a single thing, the world can't go round

Let's just respect people's decisions, what works for a person will be preposterous for another



For every man like this farm investor, there are hundreds who couldn't live up to the billing and who haven't been lazy too.

Did you read the comment I quoted and responded to?

Foolishbuhari:
Boy hafa you don graduate? How old are you? Perhaps I may answer you then.

You think doing business in Nigeria is easy? Lol unable to dey see these kind things dey high una spirit LOL na so Invictus do ooo LOL

Do I sound like I am a boy? and it’s obvious you didn’t read through my comments or perhaps you didnt comprehend.

Take some time to go through my posts and comments on this forum before mentioning me.

Btw, Your sentences and comment is as bad as your moniker. I advise you take some English lessons.

Have a blessed day!

Awefatblock28:
We should commend the governor for this development

Commend him for what he is yet to do?

babyfaceafrica:
there is no problem with everybody that wants to wear tie,the problem is such jobs are limited and the ones available, na person know person dem share am.....government needs to assist people to do business...doing business in naija is difficult

When will we stop accusing the Government for everything?

What I see mostly are ill-baked graduates. It’s one of unemployability and not of unemployment.

There is more to employment than degrees. I have had the privilege of working with graduates in Nigeria and;
- quite a number don’t even know how to use basic Microsoft office products.

-You will be surprised by the number that can’t string two complete sentences together.

- No commercial awareness at all. They don’t even know what’s happening in the business world, nor do they follow policies of the government (e.g. CBN policies) that may impact the industries they are working in.

These are soft skills that the government won’t teach, but are really valued by employers.

It is also for the same reasons we have poor performing businesses. I quite agree there are harsh social factors - such as bad roads, poor electricity and high cost of some raw materials; which might make productivity difficult.

My concern really is that we youths need to build ourselves. Get necessary skills - so many tech stuffs out there now. With these skills, a graduate will be an asset rather than just an employee. And when you are opportuned to travel out of the country - you will surprised at the avalanche of opportunities there to thrive better.

Let’s quit blaming the government for everything and build ourselves!

Guk:
He has explicitly said during campaign that Lagos state was going to be private sector driven.

Secondly, if you know the land mass bn exchanged here, you would know why he is interested

Really?

Is that the way the Mayor of London or New York attend the acquisition of private schools in the state.

Unless you can explain what interest the State of Lagos has in this private event, you do well to not defend him.

What has Land mass got to do with acquisitions of private entities- unless Lagos state owns part of the land; which I very much doubt.

Like someone said earlier - the guy is probably the most incompetent Nd clueless Lagos state Governor in this democratic era.
I wish him well all the same.

royalair:
I've always been a fan of military most especially the Us and Royal Marines, now my question is this. The Israeli has an intelligence agency MOSSAD, the Americans CIA and the British MI6. Which Intelligence Agency does Nigeria have?

I think you made wrong comparisons.

The military and US Marines have their intelligence departments, separate from the CIA, although they may sometimes have an inter-agency operation.

Intelligence Agencies are executive in nature- plain cloths and more about combating internal Nd external terrorism threats.

And to your question, Yes, Nigeria does - National Intelligence Agency. If you ask me, it’s not as functional as the British MI6 or Israeli MOSSADS; for the same reasons that Nigeria is backward in a lot of things.


I know it’s wrong to sit behind doors talking about the Boko Haram insurgency while the real soldiers are on the battlefield - I think this war could have been won if our intelligence Agency was sophisticated.

E.g.
1. Undercover agents to infiltrate the ranks of the Boko guys. No better way to win a war than have your agents moving up the rank to find out their hidden schemes. It’s just like a Trojan horse, or a malware.

2. the info from the under covers, Aim for their leader (s). When you cut off the head, the body cannot think. They will become divided and a divided kingdom cannot stand. I am pretty sure their leaders don’t sit duck in the wilderness their entire lives.


Just saying.

Whether a child finishes first or last will no longer be indicated in primary and secondary school report books from next year in Singapore, – a move which Education Minister Ong Ye Kung hopes will show students that “learning is not a competition”.

Report books will not just stop showing a student’s position in relation to class or cohort. The information to be dropped includes:

Class and level mean
Minimum and maximum marks
Underlining and/or colouring of failing marks
Pass/fail for end-of-year result
Mean subject grades
Overall total marks
L1R5 (English plus five relevant subjects), L1R4 , EMB3 (English, maths, best three subjects) and EMB1 for lower secondary levels
The Ministry of Education (MOE) said on Friday (Sept 28) that the change is to allow each student to focus on his or her learning progress and discourage them from being overly concerned about comparisons.
From next year all examinations for Primary 1 and 2 pupils will also be removed, and whatever forms of assessment they have will not count towards an overall grade.

The MOE said that teachers will continue to gather information about pupils’ learning through discussions, homework and quizzes. Schools will use other ways like “qualitative descriptors”, in place of marks and grades, to evaluate pupils’ progress at these two levels
For older students in primary schools and secondary schools, marks for each subject will be rounded off and presented as a whole number, without decimal points – to reduce the focus on academic scores. Parents will continue to receive information about their child’s progress in school during parent-teacher meetings.

In an address to some 1,700 school leaders earlier this week, Mr Ong said: “I know that ‘coming in first or second’, in class or level, has traditionally been a proud recognition of a student’s achievement. But removing these indicators is for a good reason, so that the child understands from young that learning is not a competition, but a self-discipline they need to master for life.
Notwithstanding, the report book should still contain some form of yardstick and information to allow students to judge their relative performance, and evaluate their strengths and weaknesses.”

Instead of fighting Boko Haram, the soldiers are busy shooting a movie.

While you cowardly type these gibberish, someone is putting his life at risk to let you know how they make sure you can comfortably type this nonsense.

If you are so confident, you can as well sign up and go do the fighting.

PoliticalWitch:
That's not true(except in the USA...and even then...).....and you know it.(The UK, whose system we use, has an very very independent judiciary).

If we use your argument...at the end of the day we are going to end up with a system that is controleld by the whims of whoever is in power.

APC was voted to change things...not to continue PDP polices under a different coat.

Even if other countries do bad things...can't Nigeria do better? Or must we justify wrong because PDP isn't in power...or because it is APC?

I don’t know where you got your information from. But UK courts & Judiciary is NOT independent of the Executive and the Monarch.

From Appointment of Justices of the Supreme Court to the funding of the whole Judiciary - it trickles down from the Executives.

No country in the world runs a totally independent Judiciary. E.g. Judiciary don’t make budgets... their budgetary allocations are determined by the Executives. Think along that line.

Centcanada:
U see what you did to GEJ and he did not react, now is ur turn to face it. What goes around comes around.

What did he do to GEJ?
For speaking against a government that was not working?

Him speaking against Buhari, or any other government for that matter, is his constitutional right.

On the contrary, it shows he is not content with bad governance.

Dont you find Jonathan and Buhari’s government fundamentally bad? And worthy of speaking against?

Mutemenot:
Sowore, you once blocked me on your social media cos I was giving you hit response to your numerous propanganda in 2013-2014. I honestly feel sorry but its unforntate you dug the pool you are swimming in . Karma is real, let us learn our lessons today...

And this validates his detention since August, in 2019? Because he blocked you on social media in 2013 and 2014?

maybe the youths will wake up when they finally vote for Tacha to win BBNaija or not, let's give them benefit of doubt

Look at the attached post on IG and a sitting governor liked it

SHAME on NIGERIANS!

I don’t get your point - are you angry with Deji Adeyanju’s post or you are angry that a sitting governor liked the post?

donstan18:
It's just not easy to make it overseas.

Most people think it is.

“You just get a visa to Europe or something and Fiam.. you are a big man already “.

I wish people willing to travel knows how difficult it is - trying to meet up with standards these white societies sets for foreigners.

The only good thing is when the person is able to find a way to legally become a citizen. Any other thing people do here and buy exotic cars/houses - I can tell you for free, is not legit.

dukeprince50:
All these half baked Affidavit leaders. he doesn't know he can't waive it? what did they teach him in law school sef. I am beginning to question his certificate. Buhari and Osinbajo cert is questionable, no wonder a Cameroonian wants to rule Nigeria

Can you listen to yourself?

Osinbajo is a SENIOR ADVOCATE OF NIGERIA. That’s the highest rank any lawyer can achieve in Nigeria.

Osinbajo is a Professor. The highest academic title less Emeritus.

You don’t have a right to question his pedigree.

I hate fraudsters. Haven said that, you never snitch on a client in the open, it makes you a terrible lawyer. And no criminal will wanna hire you. All criminals all over the world have lawyers but you don't see them snitching in court. If you have to snitch, do it on a low low. Now the client might just place a bounty on him.

What I find strange is that just three months ago the FG after winning the case in court signed an agreement to cooperate with Lagos State Government. Mamora then Head of NIWA was signatory on behalf of Federal Government but Amaechi now as supervising minister of NIWA is not interested in that agreement. Very interesting...

True.

There is an existing treaty between the NIWA and Lagos State on this already.

However, MoUs are not binding as such. That’s why I don’t really advise it as an instrument of agreement. Best thing to do is to go for a Terms of Settlement between the parties and proceed to the High Court to enter it as a consent judgment.

Truth be told - all Inter state water ways in Lagos are within the exclusive jurisdiction of the NA/FG. And I think the story reads that Amaechi was particular about the Ports. If lagos state constructs it - they will have a claim on the revenue.

You mean people don’t have a right to question their leaders for not delivering on their promises?

This man ordered the repair of all bad roads in Lagos on his first day of office. This man looks incompetent; and that’s because he talks too much and acts little.
