The Nigerian Lawyer

Not too long ago, several prominent business people were asked if they had websites or internet presence and they each replied “no, but I have an email address.” This is the plight of the Nigerian lawyer. Very few are aware of what modern technology can do for their practice and those who are, have to spend an awful amount of money to generate power. Welcome to the Nigerian Lawyer. This is a site for both lawyers and law students who want to practice law on a global platform. The internet has made the world truly a global village…professionals and practitioners of every kind can be contacted using the world wide web.
