The Nigerian legal landscape has been recently stirred by the controversial figure, Ifunanya Excel Grant, popularly recognized on social media as the "Baddest Lawyer." However, a clarification has now emerged from the center of the storm, as Ifunanya herself has explicitly stated that she is not actively practicing law and holds no intentions to pursue the profession.
This declaration was made through a candid video message that Ifunanya shared on her TikTok platform, where she has garnered significant attention. The timing of her message aligns with the backdrop of a petition that the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has lodged against her.
In response to the NBA's petition, which raises allegations of misconduct, Ifunanya took the opportunity to set the record straight about her professional status. In the video, she unequivocally emphasizes that she does not engage in active legal practice and has no aspirations to do so in the future.
This unfolding scenario has spotlighted the complexities surrounding online personas and their real-world identities. Ifunanya Excel Grant's emergence as the "Baddest Lawyer" has captured the interest of the public, but her recent statement is a pivotal moment that reshapes the narrative and clarifies her position within the legal realm.
As the legal proceedings evolve and the allegations from the NBA are examined, Ifunanya's declaration sheds light on the distinction between her online persona and her practical engagement with the law. This instance highlights the influential role that social media and digital platforms play in shaping public perceptions and the responsibility that comes with managing such influence within the framework of professional ethics.
She said in the video: "If I keep quiet, it's going to be like an admission of guilt. So, it's good for me to come out and actually clear my name. I'm not a practising lawyer. I am a lawyer by book, but I am not practising. At least for now, I don't have any interest to practise law, maybe someday in the future."
She continued: "At the moment, I am a model. I am an actress, and I am an upcoming musician, a rapper, to be precise. So everything I do, everything I post [on social media] is just for entertainment purposes. It has nothing to do with my legal career. I'm not practising law. I don't have any intention to practise law for now. So right now, my focus is on the entertainment business."
She further explained: "Before I even became a lawyer, I was a model. I have always been a model. And I have always been into music. I have always been an actress. So, lawyer is just one of the numerous things I am. Everything I post on social media is in my capacity as a model, an actress, and upcoming rapper."
