Tough economy. In a bid to make ends meet I bet

princeofpeace22:
The Director General of the Nigerian Law School (NLA), Professor Olanrewaju Onadeko (SAN), has lamented that some lawyers were now in the habit of sitting for examinations for students in the law school.



He said some had already been caught in the act and the students involved awaiting disciplinary measures.

Onadeko made the disclosure in Port Harcourt on Thursday while presenting the report of the school at the on-going 56th Annual General Conference of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA).

“Some lawyers were caught sitting as surrogates for students at the Nigerian Law School. In other words, they were caught writing examination for students at the school”, he said.

He however did not disclose the number of lawyers and students caught in the act but said the students involved had been sent to NBA for appropriate actions.

He also urged the NBA leadership to take serious and drastic actions against such erring legal practitioners to serve as a deterrent to others who may want to follow similar path.

Also speaking on the incident, a legal practitioner with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Rotimi Jacob (SAN), frowned at such an occurrence.
Charging NBA to take serious punitive measures against those lawyers caught in the act, he said, “such lawyers should be punished after the due process had been followed”.

Stop Lamenting and do the needful.Set example with the culprit by withdrawing his/
her legal practice license for 5years,then see whether any reasonable LIAR-YER will try it.

They must have been watching Suits. The Nigerian version of Mike Ross.

And you hear them shouting my Learned colleague.

This has been going on.... It has nothing to do with regime but a national problem!

Is this an issue? Learned colleagues helping learned colleagues........

Charge and bail lawyers

Nigerian Law School exam is the one of the toughest exams I have ever written in my life.
To all those starting their Law School exam on Monday, God is with you.

And they will become SAN one day.Nigeria!!
The country where abnormality has become a normality.

this is not a nba or disciplinary measure,this is criminal and should be charged to court.

Not surprised at all; this is how we ended up with the likes of GEJ and PEJ, certificate holders without intelligence - evidence of exam malpractice, most rampant below the Niger.
It is so sad to see so called graduates, even here in NL, writing posts no better than motor park touts or market women - always leaving one wondering how they managed to pass their exams - but now we know better.

Some days are like that

Cheat in ican exams and you're gone forever.

Dem tnk say ds na suits & dem b Mike Ross. Woe betide anybody who is caught. As d Holy book says "it wld b beta if a millstone b hung around his neck and he b flung in2 d sea."

No wonder people go to jail for naming dogs "BUHARI"!
