Who will save the legal profession in Nigeria?

By Sonnie Ekwowusi

I think we should be having a conversation around this query. I keep on saying that living in denial or pretending that all is well is a great de-service to the legal profession. Never in Nigerian history has the Nigerian judiciary been so bastardized. Not even during the military dictatorial regimes was the judiciary in such a pity mess.

Prof . Chidi Odinkalu seems to be the only light shining amid the darkness. Where are other top lawyers? What is happening to us? I must confess today that I have lost the zeal in putting on the wig and gown for any reason.

The public is mad at us. They treat us with contempt. Those who surround me see me as a security risk.

You can argue, but this is a fact. We must confront this truth. Shying away from it by making all sorts of arguments complicate matters.

Think again. What do we do? The current NBA has failed. Top lawyers have failed in leading by example

What do we do?
