Law Profession No Longer Noble, Says VDM

VeryDarkMan said he spoke for poor Nigerians and called law one of the country’s most broke professions after the NBA invitation drew criticism.

  • Social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, responded on Friday to criticism over his invitation to the Nigerian Bar Association's 66th Annual General Conference in Port Harcourt, where he participated in discussions on insecurity.
  • His appearance at the conference triggered criticism from some legal professionals who questioned the invitation, though VeryDarkMan maintained he attended to provide a platform for Nigerians whose concerns were often not adequately heard.
  • Rejecting the description of law as a noble profession in Nigeria, VeryDarkMan labeled it 'one of the most broke professions' and questioned how many trained lawyers actually engage in legal practice.
  • Pointing to annual law school graduates, VeryDarkMan argued available opportunities do not match training, claiming 'Four thousand have graduated from law school, only to end up selling bedsheets.'
  • VeryDarkMan framed his participation as speaking for those 'that don't have a voice,' positioning his critique as advocacy for voiceless Nigerians amid ongoing legal community debate over his role.
