In response to a post about a lawyer who charged ₦300,000 for documenting a ₦70 million property, one user made an even more questionable remark: “The lawyer no serious, person wey for demand for 40%.”
This comment suggests that the lawyer should have demanded an outrageous 40% of the property’s value, implying that exploiting clients is acceptable. Such a mindset promotes greed, dishonesty, and the abuse of professional trust. Lawyers and other service providers are meant to uphold integrity and fairness, not take advantage of clients’ financial capacity. Encouraging inflated or exploitative charges only deepens corruption in professional spaces and normalizes unethical behavior.
