A friend called me today to ask how to confirm the authenticity of a decree absolute for the dissolution of marriage. He said he was able to obtain the decree absolute in Two weeks.

@akinthelaw @femifma I beg to disagree. Some rules are unwritten. Regardless of the company’s policy, you have the opportunity of addressing someone like Tony Elumelu physically and then you call him by his first name. No be UK we Dey oo

Mr Inedu, please rest.

Some police formations like SCID Panti, SFU Ikoyi, and FCID Alagbon would not allow you in with your phone. Apparently they do not want you to record them.

It has been Google calendar all these years.

A lawyer sells services. Every time a lawyer opens their mouth or commits pen to paper to render advice, they draw from a well of years of rigorous study, practice, research, and investment.

Your service is the equivalent of the cars displayed at a car dealer's showroom. It is the meal a food vendor serves at a canteen. It is the designer outfit displayed in a reputable boutique.

If you would not walk into any of these places and take those things for free, no one should expect to receive your professional services without paying for them.

It is your duty to show people how you, as a professional, should be treated.

The right approach is to teach them to pay, or furnish other valuable consideration, before relevant professional counsel is given.

If it is valuable or it cost you a sweat to learn, they believe that you won't throw it about for free.

Get used to charging a consultation fee and raise it as your wealth of knowledge and eminence grow in practice.

It will also help keep some people away.

@olu_goddey Very commendable counsel

[Oluwapelumi Afere @Correct_lawyer]

@KingEsene I agree with you

[Oluwapelumi Afere @Correct_lawyer]

A few years ago, while speaking to a senior colleague, he told me that he felt real estate was calling him and that he was going to major his practice around real estate. I didn’t quite understand why he made that statement.

But now, I now I do.
