Nigeria is a dead, rotten meat, don't let it's obnoxious rule truncate your legal calling.

Is that what they taught you abroad? To refer to your motherland as dead, rotten meat? Hmmmm.........

pDude: Yes.

As I have come to see, Nigerian degree is like toilet paper even inside Nigeria sef.

lol

i just drop mine last month and re located to US..and if you see how they treat Nigerian result...like shit
If you finished university in Nigeria you would have to at least do any programme to even find a reasonable job

@the bolden and coloured text: UK does not grant visas for international students to pursue distance learning courses. You must have been granted UK visas on the basis of an entirely different claim. I share your view concerning completing your course in Nigeria and then doing your PG studies abroad, especially if the individual concerned is already in her/his final year.

About your own situation, forget about the Nigerian Law School requirements. Many retired judges and SANs including Gani Fawehinmi took their LLBs from London University as external candidates. Listen, if you're in the UK, and you complete your LLB with 2.1 within the time allowed (normally 6 years), the LLB is a QLD, and you can proceed to undertake your BVC or LPC, depending on whether you wish to become of a Barrister or a Solicitor. Nigeria is a dead, rotten meat, don't let it's obnoxious rule truncate your legal calling.

I never claimed to have got a UK visa in my post. That I said I traveled abroad to further does not mean it must be UK. If I had been granted visa to go to the UK, I would not be an external student. Take a look at my profile, it says I am based in Bratislava, Slovakia. I got the opportunity to study abroad but was warned about it. When I arrived here, I discovered the legal system in Slovakia, like it is in many Eastern, Western, and Central Europe, was not English (Common Law). So, I had to go the distance learning way via University of London International Programmes. I sit my exams at the British Council here and sometimes travel to London for exams. I am taking the Qualifying Law Degree (ROUTE A) which qualifies me to go to Law school in London (for example) but not Nigeria. During the time of the Fawehinmis and co, the Council for Legal Education in Nigeria had a different song. There was once a time when it was normal to attend a university at some Community Grammar School in Nigeria and you'd graduate and get a degree of the university (let's say University of Ibadan). Now, it is not possible as the NUC out-rightly banned all such study centers. My plan is to finish my London Law degree and if possible proceed to Law school in London and get called into the Bar there. On the other hand, I may further to the LLM and even doctorate level and come back home to pursue academic positions at my alma mata- the Great Ife.

Yea, I will gladly accept that offer now. All thanks to Buhari and his cohorts for running this country down. Naija don tire me now walahi

Absolutely!

Nigerian degrees are nonsense. Abroad, a degree is a degree - you can major in any degree it does not matter rather, having the education/knowledge and skills to do the job.

Some even trained to be Doctors yet they are not practising their trade rather, are now TV presenters - how about that?

Some trained to be Scientist and now work in Investment Banking - how about that?

In the West, especially, in UK and US - you don't necessary have to follow you field of specialisation to earn a living - it does not go like that here.

What matters is that you have a University education - DEGREE and you can work in any field!
