Lawyer Jerry Obanyero becoming a lawyer is as a result of the agony and pain his mother went through.

”DEAR MAMA, I HAVE BROUGHT YOU THE WIG!
Studying a different course at the university and getting a job afterwards, upon completion of my NYSC, did not extinguish my passion of becoming a lawyer.
I resigned from my job, bought a JAMB form and started all over again.
The memories of how my widow mother was taken to court over an offence she absolutely knew nothing about while she was still mourning the death of my late father replayed on my mind always.
More Inspirational Stories
I was only eleven when I had to accompany my mother together with some of her elderly relations to court. Devastated, confused and with no money to hire a lawyer, my mother would cry and I would cry with her.
I would watch the court proceedings from the gallery and wished I could defend the poor and defenseless widow, get her justice and save her from intimidation and embarrasment.
Anytime the lawyer to the other party rose to speak, my mother would look at me.
She did not have to say anything, I had already caught the fire to become an advocate and the defender of the cause of the poor.
