Lawyer Stella Justice Nnennaya has addressed and debunked two long-standing myths regarding the burial practices of lawyers in Nigeria. In a viral Facebook post, she clarified that there are no legal requirements or traditions mandating that lawyers be buried face down or in their wigs and gowns. These misconceptions stem from the stereotype that lawyers are dishonest, which she firmly rejected, stating that lawyers are trained to present facts and protect clients' rights. Stella emphasized that burial practices are determined by personal, familial, religious, and cultural factors, not by one's profession. She invited her followers to share their experiences regarding these myths, highlighting the importance of separating fact from fiction in legal traditions.
