A lot of people doesn’t understand the concept of my post🙄 I need to let you people know how bad the country is at the moment for people to be leaving the country everyday. Just go to the airport and see mass exodus of people leaving and not minding what they will meet where they are moving to.

Professors, Doctors, Bankers, Politicians, Pastors and Nurses are closing down their businesses in Nigeria and relocating💔💔

Anything that puts food on the table at the end of the day is most important. No shame at all.
Of what use was his chambers without paying clients? And what happens when he’s unable to renew rent?

Good move by him.

Back in 2012,I once worked as a secretary for a lawyer in his chambers....A senior lawyer who later became a house of Assembly member here in Delta state......But during my time with him,in a month,we would hardly get a client . He had to shut down his chamber and ventured into farming,thereby rendering me jobless at that time....And of which I understood what he was facing then.......

Do whatever rocks your boat or what you think can help you solve your problems in short term or long term... I hope it works out for him

He took the best decision for himself and his family.

No body dey do case now...na who chop belleful dey carry matter go court.

A cleaner that an be easily replaced asap 😆

Way to go!

Toh..

That’s his choice. If him never make money for Nigeria, him no go fit get money to enter UK..

We wish ham well..

That's the reality of today's Nigeria. There are even worse examples that haven't made it to internet just yet.

Is better, anything to Japa is a welcome development.

I just hope the relocation works for him eventually

It is a grown up decision. He will be fine ..🤔

A senior Nairaland member is currently in England battling cold. He/she will not be mentioned by name. Use your imagination.

When you come to UK,you will realise you have been living in a dead system run by agbero and lunatics.
You will wonder whether you have been living at all..

Y not snr lawyer close office in Ondo state Nigeria.........

While Nigeria population is growing geometrically, resources are becoming scarce.
We now have to borrow to survive as a nation.

To make matter worst the current istration is wasteful just like it's predecessor.
