Hope dead and lifeless persons are not on the list

,

Congrats in advance

One will expect that this title is earned and will put them as bold advocates of justice, but that's not always the case cos they rather become a mouthpiece of illegality to their political masters especially when they are gifted appointments. As long as they keep being Senior Advocates of 'Naira' rather than Nigeria, then there is no big deal about celebrating them.

Ok

Every lawyers dream.......Big congrats to them!......and may all politicians not be like Ize Iyamu who accepted defeat easily so they (lawyers) can make more money.

Ride On.

Nothing to celebrate here. We need a Judiciary that can stand for the truth. Your title is worthless if you have no meaningful impact in your society.

Where are the Gani Fawehinmis of this era? We have only the likes of Falana and a few others doing us proud. The numbers are just too marginal for a country of N200M plus.

SHAKING MY HEAD

Soon to be Senior Advocate of the rich

Senior advocate is becoming a Political post.
