NIGERIAN LAWYERS, JUDGES BIGGEST PROBLEMS WE HAVE, NOT POLITICIANS

OIP 83

This is why the profession is shrouded in secrecy, and the judges administering junk judgments don’t like to be in the news.

The current INEC Chairman is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN). Emperor Wike is a Life Bencher, and his wife is a Justice of the Court of Appeal.

Your Senate President, Akpabio, was a lawyer for donkey years before joining politics.

Those defending government atrocities are all lawyers because they were trained to find nuances and run with them.

If you are looking to cast aspersions, also look in the direction of lawyers and judges.

Just last month, our justices were given houses by the politicians of the day in high-ranking estates in Abuja.

Are you expecting justice for the common man to come from these folks?

Some of us left law practice because this country is awfully unlawful and has made it a difficult terrain for us to practise.

There’s no way on earth you will practise law in Nigeria without truncating justice. Otherwise, you will remain a poor fellow.

Hold Nigerian lawyers and judges equally responsible for the sad and sorry situation of the dungeon we are in, in Nigeria.

A classless, lawless, impecunious, and pauperish fast-paced evil society.
