Young Nigerians have taken to Twitter to share their shocking and terrible treatments by their senior colleagues in the legal trade.

From being paid as low as N10,000 as salary, to being given a monthly allowance of just N3,600, and also being sent errands like office assistants or private maids, the young lawyers have revealed my shocking treatments they receive from senior lawyers in the country.

See some shocking narrations below;

@SSnetwoork: Devils/Demons are amongst us in large numbers and it’s not a joking matter at all….SOME YOUNG LAWYERS ARE PAID 10K Abeg when are we throwing this country away? Let’s collectively throw it inside the Pacific Ocean because

@Chydec1: I remember as a young Lawyer, during an election petition, was asked by the Seniors to collect over 50mil from a Politician, cos others who collected previously were having shortfalls on d money, I collected in cash took it to d bank where 5 seniors shared d money, after sharing they looked at me, smiled and jokingly said “ur time will come one day” and went their ways, not minding the risk I took, carrying the Ghana must go, looking over my shoulders and driving like crazy as a female with that cash, was not even given money for fuel.

To be honest, I wasn't too surprised. Nothing is shocking in these stories. This is practiced in almost all areas. I'm not saying it's normal; I'm just not surprised. I am an economist, and there is enough dirt in this area. I really don't care what the lawyers do. For me, the most important thing is that they are good professionals. Whenever I turn to a lawyer for help, I hope my problem will be solved. Most recently, I needed arabic speaking lawyers to resolve my dispute with foreign partners. I found such a lawyer, and my situation was resolved in my favor.
So do not be surprised, friends; this is not a secret for a long time.
