God bless you sir. It is interesting to hear people talk about JAMB and WAEC not favouring them, a euphemism for saying i failed because i did not prepare well. Now they have been marked down and a different scheme introduced. Balderdash. Failure to prepare well has always amounted to preparation to fail well. We sef go the same Law School when we all had to use the Adeola Odeku auditorium and when there were no hostels or at best they were allocated by ballot. We still struggled coming from all parts of Lagos to write our qualifying examinations. This same OO taught me Civil Procedure and we all did not fail.


Brilliantly said ,.,,, like my Popsy go ask ,.,,, "Those that Passed how many heads do they have"

I wouldn't assume that those who failed refused to read. The sudden time constraint may have been a factor too.

GBAM ! ! ! ,,.,,. That got me shocked when i read that in the news,,.,,,, they are now way better than the Police ,,.,,. Awon Senior Thieves,,,,


It isn't always the fault of the senior lawyers or the judges. After Ibori's case, EFCC also prosecuted Dimeji Bankole, Bode George, Ikuforiji,(Lagos state speaker) and lately Fred Ajudua and all those cases ended up in the accused being discharged and acquitted. Infact, in some cases like Dimeji's case, it ended in a no-case submission which is like the lowest of lows when it comes to criminal prosecution. Are you saying the different judges were also compromised in all those other cases?
We need to start asking questions of the EFCC prosecuting team itself. Their conviction rate is abysmal. Most times they just rush to court without building a credible case backed by solid evidence just to impress the public. When d court inevitably throws out their case we point fingers at d judges n defence lawyer, calling them 'senior thieves'. Every accused is entitled to be represented by counsel. The onus is on EFCC to put its house in order.

Well said Sir,.,,, but i'm not a legal practitioner to understand better what is going on under that field ,,,, thanks for the emphases made to clear my conscience of any doubt,,,, my field is the Military Psychology wher we are more or less Soldiers,.,,, in other words as you rightly said ,,,, EFCC should step up ,,,, just look at the Oscar Pistorious Final Judgement today ,.,,, EVERY THING WAS DONE SYSTEMATICALLY ,.,,, but if you see the way both Criminal and Civil Proceedings are being heard in our Nigerian Courts today ,,,, you will notice we still have more than alot work to do

thank God ur cousin passed,would you have been suprised if she had failed? Thats the question some pple who I know may have studied better than your cousin are asking. And you should know that lawschool answers are like mathematical answers, 50 candidate can answer same thing and be correct, you should also know that there is emphasis on practice there. So it is a suprise thing even to me, for your info,the standard has changed. Those who made 2.2 previously will most likely fail the same exam if written NOW. Thank God,Onadeko gave us a hint beforehand and I was ready for anything.

I was amused at your write-up until i got to the point where you suggested that those who made 2.2 before may likely fail the examinations now. Shows how hollow you are. You believe in your life that after years of practice i will be faced with written (essay or objective) of the rudiments of Legal Practice and ii will fail? You obviously are yet to come to terms with what you went there to do and how it impacts you in real life. Now i can quite relate with the number of failures. It is in YOU.

Lol. I think it's a way forward.
If there are people who actually passed the bar final exams then the others have no good reason to fail. It is better to produce very few lawyers in a particular year than to turn out half baked legal practitioners. The profession is not for mediocers
Don't you think Nigeria situation is not encouraging professionalism in the job where judges can be bribed to thwart justice? Anyway, you are right judging by the number of higher institutions churning out half - baked practitioners who managed to bribe their way. It's very disappointing to see some so called self acclaimed Barristers that don't have good command of English. Thanks for your professional contribution as I look forward to pay consultation fees.

chill, what i mean is that the standard with which ur set wrote and passed the lawsch then is not the same now,in otherwords,if u should give the same answers u gave then in ur script that got u 2.2, my dear,Onadeko's standard which is the cause of the present discontentment will likely leave you at something less. Sad truth,isn't it?

Nice! I would be doing torts in my second semester. I have done the other two for my first year. Contract is full of shi!t! How I performed excellently in it is still a mystery lmao. Now I'm focusing on commercial law which is similar. Lord help me.
