People with long hair can never admit they love it. Compliment their hair and the next thing you’ll hear is their signature line: “I even want to cut it sef, I’m tired of it.” 😒
Women!
Resist the urge to prove to the world that you have a great partner by all means. You really don’t need that validation
I’m saying women because women do it more

Rule 4 – AVOIDANCE OF INTERMEDIARY IN THE PRACTICE OF THE LAW
As a lawyer, you shouldn't be practising law through a middleman.
Imagine a prospective client needs a lawyer, but someone says:
"Don't talk to the lawyer. Send the money to me. I'll handle everything."
That's the kind of arrangement Rule 4 seeks to prevent. A friend can recommend a lawyer. A non-lawyer shouldn't stand between the lawyer and the client by collecting fees, passing instructions, or controlling the relationship.
Are recommendations allowed? Yes. Brokerage? No. The profession is not an affiliate program

Rule 5– ASSOCIATION FOR LEGAL PRACTICE
Your rich uncle cannot wake up tomorrow and say, "Law business is booming. Let me open a law firm and employ lawyers."
Nahhhh
Law firms are for lawyers. If you're not qualified to practise law in Nigeria, you don't get to own, run or partner in a law practice just because you have the money.
Why?
Because legal advice shouldn't be driven by someone whose biggest qualification is having capital.
Money can build an office. It can't qualify you to practise law.
Note: RULE 5 usually plays out in exam scenarios. Pay attention to it.
I'll say it again, for the third year in a row, the Nigerian IP space is sleeping on Geographical Indications(GIs)!!
It has huge economic, industrial and reputational benefits if only the FG heavily invests in it.
Education, good grade, skills and most importantly, God's grace. If you don't have the last one, you will know having all the knowledge and running can't get you to some levels in life.
Honestly trying to build a career for yourself also needs money. Cost of data for online classes for skill acquisition, registration fees, transportation to conferences, while jobless is stressful. Thank God for my mom that is feeding me, just that I no fit Dey beg her for transport and data. It is well o! My hardwork will surely pay.
