Respectfully why Nigerian politicians don’t hire foreign lawyers for Nigerian court cases
Because they legally can’t.

Nigeria’s legal system requires:

Only lawyers called to the Nigerian Bar can appear in Nigerian courts.

Foreign lawyers can observe, consult, or advise, but they cannot represent clients in court.

Even in rare cases where foreign expertise is needed, they must work under a Nigerian lawyer, not replace one.

So the idea of a Russian lawyer leading a Nigerian governor’s legal team in a Nigerian court is not just unlikely — it’s legally impossible.

Why the dangerous lawyer who never lost a case narrative is unrealistic
There is no such thing as a lawyer who has never lost a case.
Not in Nigeria.
Not in Russia.
Not in the US.
Not anywhere globally

Even the best attorneys lose cases because:

Judges interpret laws differently

Evidence varies

Clients sometimes have weak cases

Courts are unpredictable

The claim that someone is the most dangerous lawyer in the world is pure sensational fiction.

Why political misinformation spreads like this
Stories like this go viral because they are:

Dramatic

Emotional

Designed to shock

Easy to share

Hard to verify quickly

But when you check credible sources, the story collapses immediately.

What’s actually true about Natalia Veselnitskaya
She is:

A Russian lawyer

Known for involvement in the 2016 Trump Tower meeting

Indicted in the US for obstruction of justice

She is not:

Putin’s special adviser

A lawyer with a perfect record

Connected to Nigerian politics

Leading any Nigerian legal team

No reputable news outlet has reported such a connection.

Bottom line the reasoning is correct:
No Nigerian governor or political elite would — or even could — bring a foreign lawyer to represent them in a Nigerian court.
The viral claim is false, illogical, and legally impossible respectfully
