Folks who are mistaken to be gay can get lynched by a mob because our government has officially caused it to be a crime. You know exactly how we want to take laws in our own hands and enforce jungle justice. Hopefully this doesn't happen.

Many young lawyers in Nigeria today are being exploited by their employers, who are mostly senior lawyers. The story of these people who study for about six years for a Degree in Law is very pathetic.

“Currently, I am not on any salary. The job in those firms were so demanding. I was working without stop, usually from 8am to 7pm or occasionally longer hours from Monday to Saturday!”
