Let me break it down.
In 2015, you got called to the Nigerian bar. You got a job at a nice law firm in Onikan and your tfare with the long bus was ₦500 from abule egba.
In 2018, you have saved enough and you decided to move to yaba, coupled with the fact that babes

I think this pockets of protests that is happening around the country is organised by APC.
They want to take charge of the situation before it becomes overwhelming difficult - I mean, most of the protests have organised banners etc..
I really need a lawyer practising in Jigawa State. It was reported that DSS picked a protester yesterday and we are still unable to attend properly to the arrest.
Pls RT
Lmao.
NYSC Guys were abducted, we didn't hear anything.
Today, youths were killed in a village near okuama, we no hear anything.
EFCC raided students in OAU, we ko hear anything.
NOW your party member was arrested and you are everywhere.
Tueh!
the Nigeria military through an air strike in Kaduna state and the Nigerian military is still casting blames while the president and Governor of that state is still at COP23 standing on each other mandate.
We are in deep trouble.

It's a crazy tag tbh.
If a random person says "That twitter lawyer is the dumbest lawyer of all lawyers". Everyone will suddenly know the person.
It's one hell of a crazy tag tbh.
You couldn't pay for the corrola, you are still trying to buy things into the apartment you have rented, you oga will not increase your salary and that your babe is pregnant.
You wake up the next morning, carry your wig and gown while paying ₦1500 to jump bike
Can come to your place since you will be staying alone and you have the advantage of being close to your office in Onikan. You moved, your tfare still remained ₦500 although slight increase in salary and you can now wake up later than usual to get to work and you can
arrive early. By 2021, you decided to put a ring on that babes finger while pricing corrola and thinking of how you would move from your mini flat in yaba to a 2bed room in gbagada so that you can be in the center of your work and babes work. You moved while compromising on
the car. In 2023, you have saved enough to buy that corrola you have been eyeing - lo and behold, they removed subsidy, dollar moved up from ₦700 to ₦1k, the car you wanted to Import have thesame price but the custom duty you will pay keep increasing.
At the end of the day,

No man wants you to love him, he only want you to respect him! Every man knows no one loves them genuinely, they know they are only desirable as long as they provide value hence they prefer being respected than loved.
It's a simple analogy.

They forget the world strives on competence.
Reducing the training doesn't reduce the cause of action. The action will still be stifling and detrimental hence you need some requisite skill to pull through.

a married man get more respect from churches, clubs, parties and social gatherings than the single man.
Talk to a client and tell him you are a married man while negotiating, he will pay for the service at a higher unusual cost when compared to a single guy.
One thing I'm grateful for is that I moved through all the relevant pages of law practise.
Started out as an in-house lawyer in a Multinational FMCG then I moved to a litigation and maritime firm. Currently, I'm doing Corporate Finance and Capital Market.
I'm glad!
