Some Lawyers Are Ruining The Legal Profession in Nigeria

0

A prospective client just left my office. He came with original copies of land documents that he wanted me to draft the deed of assignment on. After seeing the value of the property and the size of the property, I told him that my fee will be 10% of the purchase price of the property but I will be willing to accept 5% from him.

The client screamed. He said that the lawyer that prepared the other deed of assignment of a property he recently purchased that is even more valuable than this one he is asking me to prepare charged him only N25,000 but due to my glitz and glam, he is willing to offer me N200k for the job. 

Well, as a way of letting me know that he is not lying about the money he paid to the previous lawyer, he called his assistant on the phone and asked him how much he paid the lawyer and the assistant confirmed that it was N25,000.

That got me pissed, I am not pissed with the man but with the lawyer that will collect N25,000 to prepare a deed of assignment on a property that is worth over N8,000,000. Those are the lawyers that are ruining the legal practice in Nigeria and should be summoned by the NBA disciplinary panel. Those are the lawyers that make clients disrespect other lawyers, thinking that all lawyers are cheap and “charge and bail”. God forbid that I will ever lay my seal on the deed of any landed property that the purchase price is over N8,000,000 and I will accept to be paid a peanut. I will rather dabble into other things than sell myself that short, again, God forbid.

A lawyer that accepts N25,000 to draft a deed has decided that he will never be rich or make any significant money from the law practice. I could have forgiven and moved on if the lawyer the client told me about was a Junior lawyer but I was curious enough to look up the man and he is an older lawyer. 

Won’t you be embarrassed as a lawyer to hear that your former client mentioned your name and told others what you charged him and that he paid you N25,000 for a deed of assignment on a property that worth over N8,000,000?; Clients always disclose information like this because they use it as a bargaining chip against the new lawyer. I have no respect for any lawyer that collects N25,000 on a property that is worth N8,000,000 because they are the ones ruining this profession.

It is not a flex but I turn down clients and jobs on a daily basis, once I see that the pay does not meet up my standard, I will decline the offer. I have invested so much in myself and in my practice to accept whatever is thrown at me. Well, truth be told that the N200k the client was offering me is a lot of money in this economy and it won’t hurt for me to accept it but by accepting that, what I have done is devalue myself. 

Some lawyers that accept this ridiculous fee have a way of justifying it by saying that “half bread is better than none but there are soured half bread that you should avoid totally. Once you charge a client a ridiculously cheap fee, you have inadvertently told that client that you are cheap because you are constantly devaluing yourself and the client will never rate you.

You can do better. 

 

T-Mobile Reports Second Data Breach in 2023, Offers Impacted Customers Two Years Free Theft Detection Services

0

Mobile telecommunications company T-Mobile reported a second data breach in 2023, affecting 836 users, which saw the company offer affected users two years of free theft detection services.

The company via a notification letter issued to impacted customers on April 28th disclosed that a hacker managed to gain access to the information of its customers, which includes full names, date of birth, social security numbers, government IDs, addresses, contact information, and T-Mobile account pins.

In the letter, T-Mobile stated that no personal financial information or call records of customers were accessed in the breach, noting that it has proactively reset the account pins of affected users which customers use to verify their identity in order to make account changes.

The letter reads,

Our systems recently detected that a bad actor accessed limited information from a small number of T-Mobile accounts, including your T-Mobile account PIN. Personal financial account information and call records were not affected. Our systems and policies enabled T-Mobile teams to identify the activity, terminate it and implement measures to protect against it from occurring again in the future. To further protect your account, we have already proactively reset your pin.

While we have a number of safeguards in place to prevent unauthorized access such as this from happening, we recognize that we must continue to make improvements to stay ahead of bad actors. We take these issues seriously. We apologize that this happened and are furthering efforts to enhance security of your information. We take these issues seriously. To protect your account, we proactive of reset your Mobile account pin. We are offering you two years of free credit monitoring and identity theft detection services, provided by myTrueIdentity from Transunion.”

T-mobile has therefore urged all its customers to review their account information and update their pin to a new one of their choice. They are also advised to remain vigilant by monitoring account activity and free credit reports, and reviewing their security choices on their email, financial and other accounts. Customers are also encouraged to use features that T-Mobile offers which include Account Takeover protection, number transfer pins, two-step verification, free scam protection with Scam Shield, SIM protection, a security dashboard and more.

This is the second incident T-Mobile has reported since the start of the year, with the previous data breach occurring on January 19, after hackers stole personal information of 37 million customers by abusing a vulnerable Application Programming Interface (API) in November 2022. Since 2018, the telecommunications company has reported nine data breaches.

Vacation rental company Airbnb has announced that it has released over 50 new features and upgrades to enhance customers’ experience.

With the pandemic fully over, the company disclosed that it is expecting over 300 million guests, hence it is upgrading and enhancing its services as it has introduced Airbnb rooms and an all-new take on the original Airbnb.

Following the request of guests to know more about who they are staying with, Airbnb disclosed that every room will feature a host passport, which will help guests to know their host before booking their stay. The company disclosed that it has also created a room category with over 1 million listings, redesigned filters, and added new privacy features.

Speaking on the recent upgrades the CEO of Airbnb Brian Chesky said, “With Airbnb rooms, we are getting back to our founding ethos of sharing. Airbnb rooms are more often affordable than hotels, and they are the most authentic way to experience a city. This is the soul of Airbnb. Millions of people have given us feedback on how to improve Airbnb. We have listened.

“Today we are introducing the most extensive set of updates ever. Our design-driven approach means we are always making Airbnb better, and our over 50 new features and upgrades are just the beginning. We will never stop improving Airbnb”.

Brian Chesky via his Twitter handle revealed the full list of 53 features and upgrades. They include total price display, Improved maps, transparent checkout instructions, redesigned Wishlist, Pay overtime, and Instant rebooking credit amongst others.

In preparation for an anticipated record-stuff travel season, the company is improving nearly all aspects of its service and is doing so based on feedback. To improve some of its services, the company took a design-driven approach.

It started by storyboarding the guest and Host’s journey from the sign-up to checking out, and every step in between. It also created a blueprint of the experience, with every screen, every policy, and every interaction with customer support mapped out. Then it analyzed millions of customer service tickets and mapped them across the journey. The company disclosed that these features for guests and hosts will begin rolling out this week. Hosts can get to try out the new features by enrolling in Airbnb early access.

Founded in 2008 by Brian Chesky, Nathan Blecharczyk, and Joe Gebbia, the company has grown to over 4 million hosts who have welcomed 1.4 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. It has become one of the most successful and valuable start-ups in the world and has had a significant impact on the industry of renting homes and the hospitality industry more generally. It is also credited with revolutionizing the tourism industry.
