Just checked out Prof Osinbajo's profile. It said his LLB degree from the University of Lagos was awarded in 1978. He is 55 years now (born 1959) which means he graduated at the age of 19. How possible could this have been at the time? Meaning he must have finished his O'level at 14, A Higher School Certificate at 16, and then graduate with a Law degree at 19! impossicant-

Lolz . . .Politics na bad thing oo!! Guys must excavate something . . .

So what?. I finished O levels at 14 as well. That is not an issue in western Nigeria. I am almost sure he did not need do A levels.
People must realise that there was a time Nigeria was academically more advanced than now. There was no 6334 education. There was direct entry admission into university from secondary school. Even JAMB started in 1978 I am not sure.

this man went to school those times when ur hands must touch ur second ear before u enter primary school and he was alleged to have finished his supposed secondary level at that tender age? mehn, when will apc use their conscience in telling lies?

Yes, secondary education was 5 years then, not 6 years as it is now.

\He sure did his a-levels which was called the HSC. Yemi attended Corona School for his primary school education. Between 1969- 1975, he attended Igbobi College Yaba where he won the following prizes- the winner of the State Merit Award 1971; the School Prize for English Oratory, 1972; Adeoba Prize for English Oratory 1972-1975; Elias Prize for Best Performance in History (WASC) – 1973, School Prize for Literature (HSC), 1975;[b][/b] African Statesman Intercollegiate Best Speaker’s Prize, 1974
Considering the fact that the time he had gone to school is far different from what obtains today, the op got a point. who's lying? too bad

so yu finished O'levels @ 14, cool! *story for the gods tho*..we know Prof Yemi Oshinbajo, sir pls what are you??

It has started....

First Metuh has a problem with how long it took Buhari to select a VP candidate.

Now this joker of an OP is here questioning his age.

I am surprised PDP is yet to raise questions about the seeming discrepancy in the man's surname!!!

@OP

So just because you finished your o ' levels at the "young" age of 35 years, you assume everyone should be like you right??

You feel because you wrote your o ' level 12 times before managing to scale through almost becoming a career student, we must all have had the same experience right?

Na wah for you ooooo!!!!

Midegee:

times are different . even the genius himself Wole Soyinka finished his O'levels at 16 and his HSC at 18. He got into GCI in Ibadan at 12. That was 1978. This is 2014. Truth is most people at that time who even finished early in the 70's graduated at age 21 plus. The Schools inspectors then were very strict and could visit your school without notice. These days its possible since the inspectors solicit bribes on a daily basis

Akinwande Oluwole "Wole" Soyinka (Yoruba: Oluwo̩lé S̩óyinká, pronounced "Shoyinka"; born 13 July 1934) is a Nigerian playwright and poet. He was awarded the 1986 Nobel Prize in Literature,[1] the first African to be so honored.
After finishing his course at Government College in 1952, he began studies at University College in Ibadan (1952–54), affiliated with the University of London. He studied English literature, Greek, and Western history. In the year 1953–54, his second and last at University College, Ibadan, Soyinka began work on "Keffi's Birthday Treat", a short radio play for Nigerian Broadcasting Service that was broadcast in July 1954

The man doesn't look 55 anyway, just as Tinubu doesn't look 62.
Football age is in action.

Lol.. Awon olori bobo ti bere! Awon omo ale onirau alainise!!

Buhari/Osinbajo is a Moving Train.. No amount of Propaganda can stop it!!

Your argument is so faulty, i bet there were people younger than Soyinka in Soyinka's class.

Osinbajo is also a genuis in his own right, and there are several popular figures who finished primary school at age 10 at his own generation.

Thanks, i have been wondering where the claimed 1959 DOB by OP was obtained from, as i checked the reference provided by the OP and could not find it.

Had it been he is tall, I could have believed but as short as he is, his hand can never reach his ear until he is around 10 years old then so he couldn't have been admitted to any school before age 10. Fact!!
