‘A SAN paid me N10,000 monthly salary’ - The Nation Nigeria

I am the third in a family of six children, five males and one amazing elder sister. We were all born in Enugu State to very industrious parents: Simon and Patience Agboeze. Whereas my dad has retired as a civil servant, my mum is still in active service in the civil service.I am an alumnus of Enugu State University of Science and Technology from October 2012 to August 2017.

I had a lot of topics to cover. For the first two weeks at the Law School, I was lost in class. I didn’t understand legal jargon. I was almost tempted to call it quits.My principal instructed me to go and move an application in court. On getting to court, my case was mentioned. After both parties announced appearance, I stood up to move my motion, only to be told by the defence lawyer that the motion I wanted to move had been overrun by events.

Since that experience, I have learnt never to attempt standing before a judge without knowing aforehand what the case was all about.The first law firm I worked for was owned by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria . He was a former NBA Chairman in Abuja and had over 10 lawyers in his employ. This firm afforded me the time to source for freelance jobs to support my salary. Due to my hunger for more practice experience, I got yet another law firm where I was paid N30,000, working under the same conditions as the SAN. This was where I was growing as a young litigator until COVID-19 happened.My immediate former principal is a good man. Aside him, I was the only lawyer in his firm. This provided me with the opportunity to handle some cases in court.

Although he promised to contact me if things got any better for his firm. I have been at home since my release date in May 2020 without a contact from him.After I made my lack of employment situation public on a lawyers’ Forum on Facebook, I have been contacted by some Lawyers who I think felt sorry for my situation and offered to help.
