Patricia Eteh Goes Back To School by sexyglow(f): 11:19am On Feb 05, 2013
The former speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, better known as a hair dresser, is studying for a law degree

Five years after her tumultuous four-month stint as the head of Nigeria’s parliament, during which time she was tagged an ‘illiterate hair dresser,’ Nigeria’s first female Speaker of the House of Representatives, Patricia Etteh, has returned to school.

Mrs. Etteh is currently enrolled at the University of Buckingham, U.K., and expects to emerge with a Bachelor of Law degree in 2014. She began the university’s popular 2-year undergraduate law programme in September 2012.

The former legislator said her return to school is part of her private life and declined to share what motivated her to return to the university.









With her three-term-foray as a federal legislator now ended, Mrs. Etteh appears ready to regain her self-respect by earning a law degree. When PREMIUM TIMES contacted her, Mrs. Etteh, who was speaking from an airport in the U.S., said she would not speak with the press.

“Sweetheart, I am not interested in granting any interview. As far as my private life is concerned, I am not interested,” she said, sounding very pleasant and upbeat.

Dino Melaye, a former member of the House of Representatives who backed the former speaker during her travails, told PREMIUM TIMES that Mrs. Etteh has spent the past few years strengthening her CV.

“She did a programme at the University of Abuja. She also did another programme online,” Mr. Melaye said.

It is not clear at the moment whether the former speaker’s acquisition of academic qualifications speak to any future political plans, but Ms Ajie, who recently acquired another law degree from Georgetown University, U.S., insists that the former speaker is taking the right step.

“It is trendy world over to acquire academic degrees; I want more law degrees. If she decides to aspire for office, it is a legitimate desire and I welcome it,” she said.

A typical law degree in Nigeria is an alibi to more corruption which I suppose is one of her antecedent..the Judge Talba and the pension boss is still very fresh on the minds of Nigerians..apologies to hustling law students

BASt.ARDs, why University of Buckingham, U.K and not Ado Ekiti University or University of Lagos? In the end, she'd have bought a degree, return to the country to continue from where she stopped and rejoin the looting. angry angry
