Twitter's Class Action And Nigeria's Imitation

Only in America would people expect a "bird" to pay this amount of money. Yes, "Twitter Inc said Monday it will pay $809.5 million to settle a 2016 shareholder class action lawsuit in which the social media company is accused of defrauding investors. The lawsuit was based on an allegation of metric manipulation of the microblogging app’s traffic."

That reminds me, why do we NOT have class action lawsuits in Nigeria with this flavour? I was told that lawyers are not allowed to solicit for cases. Can that be changed? If that happens, trial lawyers will bring sanity to the land.
