Nigerianlawyer reports that the Chief Justice said that Esq should rather be for announcing appearance with no other title‎.

He further advised that where there are more than one person appearing, without title there should be introductory appellation- Messrs whether females or male. But when only one person, name the person and use Esq whether female or male.
