If you apply your mind a little, you would see that my response destroyed your argument. But let me reiterate, in case you have any difficulty doing so:
1. The flat fee in a High Court is N1k, not 10% of property value. I offered 5 times that amount.
2. The lawyer who did it for me decided not to charge. I didn’t force him not to. I sent him a bottle of cognac as a token of appreciation, and we have since developed a great relationship in which he has handled several matters for me, for which he was properly remunerated.
3. You do not want to engage with the comparisons with other professions because you cannot counter the inherent logic in the comparisons without sounding unlearned.
Even the UK solicitor handling the conveyancing was not asking for 10% of the property's value. He was getting a very modest flat fee. Our people here wanted to charge a percentage of property value for witnessing a signature. If that makes sense to you, good luck. But please note that I will continue to ridicule it.
If you have deployed a skill, by all means, charge for it. Whoever is willing to pay for that skill will do so and anybody who doesn’t want to will go elsewhere. What skill is involved in witnessing a signature that warrants 10% of the property value, please? Same thing with standard tenancy agreements with standard clauses. AI will soon take that one over anyway and there would always be someone that would put their stamp on it for a modest fee. You are free to keep waiting for 10% of property value.
What you don’t realise is that setting a flat fee for routine transactions will actually encourage more people to use lawyers. It will also help junior lawyers who can make money on volume and turnover, leaving senior lawyers to focus on complex matters.
But the preference of some is to reap where they did not sow for doing next to nothing. It won’t work with me and I will continue to advocate against it.
Have a great day.

I have gone through the premise and conclusion of your post but the tweet fail to answer these two points which are the crust of my earlier post: 1. If you’re aware of a flat fee, why didn’t you pay the latter lawyer you offered 5k & VSOP? Or even suggest that to the Silk and have the negotiation process. 2. Your comparison with other profession isn’t relevant to this issue & circumstance of this case. Hence, I’ll leave that aside. My analysis from your perspective reflects that you took advantage of the latter lawyer (and you even came online to brag about it)— that is the ridicule. Because you could have paid much more than the paltry sum–5k that you offered. You see where I am coming from, Dr?! I’m sure you are aware of these issues. That you’re no longer a practicing lawyer doesn’t mean you should put others out of business. Thank you, sir.

Dear Samuel Adegoke,
I will continue to disparage all attempts to charge a percentage of property value for witnessing a signature. Perhaps your doctor should be charging a percentage of your net worth for prescribing a malaria tablet for you or your mechanic should charge a percentage of the value of your car for changing the oil.
Set a flat fee for routine services like this (like is done in other countries) and I will gladly pay. If, instead, you want to take 10% of the value of a property I am taking a mortgage to buy, I will reduce my offer to N3K next time.
Thank you.

Dear Dr. Joe, This your comment is absolutely misleading and disparaging for a profession you claim to be a member. It’s not in your place to ridicule a professional charge in such a manner you did here. Learned silk is entitled to his/her charge, so also the lawyer who charged you lesser. Let’s not pretend as if in other society you won’t pay these fees without even ridiculing the work.

Sold a Honda Civic once. Absolutely nothing was wrong with this car. The driver called me a few minutes later that after he left the filling station, the car started misbehaving. We scanned and it returned EVAP code. Once the nozzle clicks. Tell the fuel attendant to stop.

@Jamessucre2 @crewslover Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool & England right-back. Fans jokingly call him "Mister Ballon d'Or" due to hype over his elite passing from deep and rare full-back award buzz. He got snubbed from Tuchel's latest England squad, so the meme exploded. 😭⚽

I grew up with multiple cars at home and official drivers employed by the university for council members. I never had reason to learn to drive because I was driven everywhere.
I literally had to sign up to a driving school when I got my C300 4matic and to be honest I prefer my best friend driving or paying the guy who serves as my unofficial driver. Because I barely have time to keep up with driving school nor to be snail speed driving when I am rushing to work.
My apologies for growing up spoiled with drivers and for becoming an adult who can afford to employ drivers to drive me in my car.
Let me sell my car and trek so I don’t irritate Dehkunle with my inability to drive Abi?
Let us even veer from persons like me who grew up with cars but never learnt how to drive (privilege).
Do you know how many poor families there are in Nigeria? Some families don’t have even a motorbike much less a car for their children to even think of driving. But you’re speaking from a place of privilege, acting like everyone has parents, relatives etc with cars that they can use to drive.
Wake up o. The world isn’t black and white. Some of us were pampered into not driving others grew up poor not to see cars to learn.
Stop this privileged “irritation” ozuor!
Dehkunle 🧸@Dehkunle
Nothing irritates me more than seeing adults that can’t drive, what do you mean you’re a 27-year old grown ass man/woman and you don’t know how to move a vehicle from point A to point B,that’s insane to me
