One year ago, I became a lawyer. Today, I celebrate the call, But more importantly, I celebrate everything that happened BEYOND THE CALL.

The story is now available for you to read.

about pretending that I had everything figured out, rather it is the story of the first year: the the uncertainty, rejection, courage, mistakes, victories, fear, ambition, clients, courtrooms, relationships, entrepreneurship, leadership, and the lessons I learnt trying to

build a legal career on my own terms.

If you are a young lawyer, a law student, an aspiring entrepreneur, a young professional, or simply someone trying to build something without a blueprint, there is a part of this story for you.

yourself a lawyer.

And somewhere along the way, I learnt that the Bar is not the destination. It is the beginning of another journey.

That journey is what I have chosen to document in my new book: BEYOND THE CALL

This is not a book about how perfect I was. It is not a book

Within the same year, I would appear before different courts, handle matters across jurisdictions, take on appellate work, build a law firm, enter into partnerships, teach, speak, build relationships and begin to understand the enormous responsibility that comes with calling

[P R I N C E ™ @prince_ezeabata]

I learnt how to find clients, how to keep clients, how to lose clients, how to build trust and, most importantly, how to keep going when nobody is coming to save you.

Seven days after my call to Bar, I made my first appearance at the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

[P R I N C E ™ @prince_ezeabata]

I started my own practice, and learnt by doing. I took pro bono matters. I held briefs. I appeared in courts. I made mistakes. I lost matters. I won some. I travelled for cases. I learnt from senior lawyers. I built relationships. I learnt the business of law.

[P R I N C E ™ @prince_ezeabata]

definitely had had no blueprint.

Thus, I had to figure things out. I applied for jobs, and was rejected. I was told my CV was too big for an entry-level role. I wrestled with what that meant. Eventually, I chose not to reduce myself to fit into a system.

[P R I N C E ™ @prince_ezeabata]

I was 24, excited and my parents were proud. My family celebrated. I smiled for the cameras, but beneath the wig and gown was a young man who honestly did not know what it meant to be a lawyer.

I had no job, had no established chambers, had no guaranteed clients, and

On this day, 25 September 2025, I stood before the Body of Benchers and was called to the Nigerian Bar as a Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria.

Today, 25 September 2026, I look back and realise that being called to the Bar was only the beginning.

If you're not a religious person, you need to be very careful with your life.

And you also need to be careful with how you express your views about religion.

A religious person will pretend that they like you and act as if they're quite liberal.

But they'll be silently wishing for your downfall or plotting to bring you down.

When something bad happens to you, in their mind, they will justify it with the fact that you either do not practice their faith or because you just do not want to identify with any religion.

A religious person does not believe that you can believe in God and not believe in religion.

Deep down, they believe that when misfortune happens to you, it's because you do not go to the church or a mosque.

And most times, they will not help you when you're in dire financial need, but will be preaching to you or recommend you to one prayer house or a religious leader.

They'll gaslight or guilt trip you to think that it's because of your ways of thinking, that's why the misfortune befell on you.

I have dealt with these people for years, and I know what I am saying.

Keep them far away from you.

They don't like you.

End.

If you know anyone that has been good to you in your life journey, please do all you can not to be in their bad books.

It doesn't matter if that good person is not good to another person that you know.

Judge him or her by how they treat you, and not by how they treat others.

You don't know why they may not be kind to the other person.

And I am not just talking about how he or she treats random people on the streets.

That's different.

Also, when someone shows you kindness even in secret, please do well to tell others, even if you may never be able to pay the person back.

By doing so, you may be saving the person and giving them a good name in the sight of some others who may be judging the person wrongly from afar.

This was what my late father told me, and so I just feel like sharing it to others.

Put simply, do not inherit other people's enemies, because you do not know what transpired between them.

Unless you are aware.

End.

I love what you're doing.

You'll be so big with this show that you'll soon start interviewing other world leaders.

You have been able to interview one of the most respected leaders in Africa.

It's a remarkable achievement.

Keep it up, and God bless you big time 🙏
