A Nigerian prodigy, Damilola Arowolaju, has bagged a PhD in Law from The George Washington University, in the United States of America.

Damilola, who hails from Omuo Ekiti, in Ekiti East Local Government area of Ekiti State is the son of a former Special Adviser to Governor Segun Oni on Due Process, Dr Bayo Arowolaju

Damilola, who was also the President of the 2020 PhD graduating students, was garlanded at the university’s virtual convocation ceremonies held on Thursday, May 21, 2020.

The former Special Adviser who confirmed this to journalists in Ado Ekiti on Saturday was elated that his son could be decorated with such a high academic honour at the age he secured admission to the University of Lagos, where he studied Sociology.

He said:

“My baby, Dr. Damilola Arowolaju, with the grace of God just graduated with a PhD in Law from the George Washington University School of Law, Washington DC, USA.

“He gave an address to the fellow graduands as the President of the GW Bar Association. Graciously, he did this at 24 years of age, when I was just entering the University in Nigeria for my first degree. May our children be higher and be more successful than us all. Amen

“I am overwhelmed, speechless and flabbergasted by this outstanding feat. I am excited and more motivated to do more to uplift humanity”.


Arowolaju appealed to the Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, to rejig and expand the scope of the State’s scholarship board to be able to benefit the children of the poor, who are outstanding in their academics.

In a video clip containing his speech to the graduand, Damilola said he shall continue to promote justice for all manners of men, irrespective of creed, race and class.

The swaggering academic added that no sacrifice is too much to make to protect human rights and promote self-respect among humanity, describing these as the best way to entrench equality in the system.

He said:-

“Justice means making huge sacrifices that would guarantee all constitutional freedoms for all and sundry.

“When I say justice, I mean for both innocent and guilts. The one that brings equality, stability and raise the hope for a better society. That is what we should all pursue using morality and the instrumentality of Law.

“My graduation today was a result of the sacrifices made by my parents to ensure that I excel in my academic pursuit”

Africans and mediocrity undecided
When will we start celebrating something worthwhile like an invention or a home grown fortune 500 company?

na so so degrees we like, degrees that don't take us anywhere as a race.
No wonder the elite's in the west are purposely diluting their population with Africans;they know we are easier to deceive and control.
An African will jump through every hoop without question undecided

So we should clap for this dude for just reading and reading and reading, just stuffing his head with obsolete books and we're here celebrating him like he made some breakthrough.
Congrats though.

He bagged a PhD in law at 24 years at a reputable institution. It takes on average 7+ years to complete a PhD out here in the west. At the age of 24, most students in the US and Canada are still in the midst of completing graduate/medical/law school.

This feat is most certainly worthy of praise.

People usually say that in every extended family members in ekiti, there is always one professor.

Yet ekiti is one of the poorest state in nigeria.

Education sector in Nigeria is a scam..... All the agencies and bodies under education is a scam......



Nothing is working....


You pay lecturers high salaries and you pay teachers who put severe efforts to train a child who could not read to read and to understand how to add one and another one to give two....

Teachers who did their best to have children know alot of things that probably helped them all through their lives.....

Lecturers will often lecture and expect that you should have known whatever he/she is teaching you from the secondary school....And will often pass you handouts to go and self-study....


If our government will neglect the original starter to focus on the lecturers...then we have failed.

Very Apt!!!... The gross neglect of basic and foundational education in this nation is the main reason we have a pathetic tertiary education sector, with so many dull graduates!!!

This is why you have graduates who can't spell or communicate effectively!
