A Lawyer Cries Out

I found this in my memories. Lawyers in the house, this one is for you.
------

This Law profession doesn't help at all. My normally blunt and truthful person has had to twist the fact more that once to make my client's case better.

Lawyers, how do you balance law practice with your faith/beliefs? What do you do when a prospective client whom, by your beliefs, is guilty approaches you for legal representation?

Minimizing The Impact of Public Holidays On Your Business

Therefore, the public holiday was extended. While those in paid employment rejoice and dive under duvets, not everyone is jubilant. Ifeoma Malo asked a poignant question that inspired this post "With all the numerous and often unplanned holidays we have in Nigeria, please how do entrepreneurs and SMEs survive in Nigeria". My response was " Find ways to work around public holidays (planned and unplanned). The holidays are not going away". I gave it more thought so I asked my friends "How can a business owner minimize the impact of public holidays on his/her business?" Dionne Obodo had this fantastic tip.
