Man With 5 Law Degrees, Shares His Poor Sec. School Result; Cautions Parents by Priscy01(f): 4:23am On Jul 04, 2018
Jake Okechukwu Effoduh, a Nigerian lawyer, has called on Nigerian parents not to allow their children get defined by the grades they obtain while in school.

Jake shared the photo above of his secondary school result in which he failed 9 subjects, including Maths and English Language, and despite the poor grades, has turned out to be a fine lawyer with five law degrees.

Read what he wrote;
"Dear parent, this was me at 12 years old. I failed 9 out of 15 subjects (including Maths and English) from a public school.

This result from 18 years ago didn’t define me then; and it obviously didn’t determine how I turned out. School isn’t a competition, it is a place for learning, play and growth. There’s more to life than an estimation of one’s academic performance. If you ask me: your child’s result should be taken as a receipt that you paid school fees, finish.

I am 30 years old now and I have bagged 5 university degrees in law from several Ivy League schools. This as well, should never matter! Life is not by the “where” and “what” you’ve done for yourself but by who you are and how it affects others."

There is a lot to life than Academics and degrees.

Literacy should be the aim, which generally you should get after Sec/Ond/or if lucky a first degree.

It’s more important to teach our children to be street smart and know the art of building and exploiting relationships.

Trust me - they will be more successful than many PhD holders.

Do not think of the days of failure.
Don't think about how many times you fall.
Rise up, dust your self and move on.
Keep moving.....
Don't stop and see yourself at the TOP!

Thanks for sharing

Guess PERSONAL motivation has a role to play in one's success...

Gotta love the polite teacher who still noted on the woeful report: "He is a good student"

Any way what have you done with the certificates and how much money have you made so far because you still look like a broke ass

Some commenters above are showing dumb ignorance and are wondering whether it's impossible to bag 5 degrees in the US

You think every educational system is bleeped up like the Nigerian educational system lol

He must have run two degrees concurrently and twice before bagging the last one which in give or take must have taken him a total of 11 years so better wake up and stop seeing life through the Nigerian eye and believe some things can't work because you haven't seen them do

He is right.
I was a slow learner in my academics while growing up, my class mates do make fun of me.
They refused to play with me.
My Mum will beat the hell outta me every end of the term coz Na me dey carry class for head.
But that did not stop me. I graduated with Upper Credit at Kaduna polytechnic.
Today I am serving my Father's Land and my mother is proud of me..
Planning to further my education after my nysc.

Just remain where you bagged those law degrees. Except you want hunger to finish you, then you can come join our learned colleagues here collecting N1000 naira appearance fee and 20k salary. Thanking God for the decision to quit my law practice daily! I was really in bondage, for what? Peanuts!

Form Master Name : Mrs F. Ibrahim ( a concentrated Yoruba Muslim person)

No wonder she terrorised the lawyer when he was little with bad grades
Trying to kill his shine .
But the lawyer still seems confused though, he is cautioning parents instead of advising them not to send their wards to school with Yoruba Muslim as teachers

Uncle keep kwayet, it is obtainable in Nigeria just like that. I had friends that even ran more degrees simultaneously due to proximity. Physics and astronomy (UNN), Mat and Met (ESUT) while he was still applying to IMT to complete his HND in chemical engineering.

All the schools they inside one compound self grin
