gbolahanoluyemi: @ venorite, blame it on your school, I finished from the Law School few years ago and I know the Law School has quota for every school depending on accreditation status and past record in terms of results, your school (madonna) should have admitted based on their quota and not take 500 when it only has a quota of 40 or thereabout. Am sure Igbinedion does not have similar problems so its nt abt your school being private

poshdiva: Op you say you are a law graduate? Then i believe you should know what to do. Arent you an activist? Dont you have activists in your graduating set? Who is your faculty President? As a law student when you speak, things should happen! When you make threats people should shake!

There is nothing as effective as collective action. Get a list of your classmates who havent gone to law school and get them to sign. Now draft a letter to your Dean and copy your father whatever his name is, threaten to take legal action. Also get your University Act as a backup. You should find something there to support your case. Also try to get this published in a national daily.

I would advise you resolve it before October. Many federal schools would be unable to send students to law school because of the ASUU strike and law school resumes October 21st. Only private universities and federal schools like UNILAG and UNILORIN have written their final exams and submitted their list to law school so there will be many empty slots this year. Do something! stage a protest! Be active, let your voice be heard!!!!

gentlefada: if you no go secondary school then how you take know pesin wey sabi write well...... Na for ur house you school....

lovemychild: This is the problem with us nigerians, instead of looking for solution to help our brother, we fustrate him the more with hating words. why? if u dont have any positive advice, pls keep quite. what is wrong in attending a private uni? @op, i understand what u'r going thru cos i went to the uni too. u guys should gather urselv and write to the sch authorith. u can even meet with father chancelor to discuse it. am sure, he will do something about it. if there's need to sue nig law sch, it will make more sense if madonna university do it. u dont need to brieb

Goddy Jumbo: Poverty is d worst disease dat can eva inflict a man... D fact d u cant afford d fees for d comfort n quality of education dat students in d private school enjoy doesn't mean u should hate them... Just pray that God should grant u d priveledge 2 give dis 2 ur children.... U guys have every right 2 b angry.... Cos u rememba all d strikes n d struggles... My friend I'm a madonna Engineer, just see if u can complain it 2 FATHER... I knw he would do something abt it..

venorite: I am a law graduate from Madonna University. I finished from Madonna in 2011 and am yet to get admission in to the Nigerian law school. This has been the case with more than 1000 graduates that are yet to get admitted into the Nigerian law school. I and my colleagues have contacted the school without getting any response.

Madonna graduated more than 500 law students in 2011 and only 55 names (give or take) got admitted into law school via Madonna, others had to lobby their way into law school. The in thing now is that some students pay big money to get admitted into law school while some that have ogas at the top have their names included in the supplementary list which comes from bwari, Abuja. The ones that are unable to pay or have no one are left to their fate. This is what so many of us have been subjected to and currently, there are only 52 Madonna students names on the law school websites while other state and fed school get as much as 130-200 names (Abia state has 130 names)….

My question is (1) why can’t private universities and Madonna in particular get as much slots in law school as Fed and State Universities, (2) why do we have to pay our way into law school after spending 5years and exorbitant amounts to get a law degree (3) what is the solution to this? The annoying thing is that without your B.L degree, your LL.B Hons degree is pretty useless cos u can’t practice with it and getting a job is pretty difficult.

Pls relevant authorities should take notice and find a solution to this cos it seems this is only peculiar to private school and Madonna university in particular.

Honeyhill: am in my llb5 nw,unical..........we are given 150 slots....still yet results issh and strike wont let unical send d full 150.......like nw with ASUU strike,no hope of law school dis yr.......just pay d mony,if u can afford fees for 5yrs.....u can afford dis last one for sure

Boss13: Actually Private Universities are better than Public universities. They teach better. They don't go on strike. However, they have no social life. Businessday just concluded their writers awards and 2 students from covenant university were selected. The overall winner is from covenant university. I attended a public university and calling private university a glorified secondary school is a way of making ourselves feel better. But the truth is, many of us at that time could not afford the high school fees or maybe the stringent laws attached to private universities.

But to note, the lecturers are almost the same (many public lecturers facilitate their services in private universities).

Ify Angela:
but finally the best University in Nigeria is not even a private school. Private schools are not even in the top 5.

Yomieluv: if you can pay your way through the school-as in school fees wise,i see no reason you cant pay your way to Law school,if you are that concerned,and worried...it goes to show that most private unis are glorified secondary school.

It is not a matter of being able to afford to bribe to get admission, the question is the morality! Why should any law graduate need to bribe to get admission to law school? That is the question

djmummy: Na wa.
More than 500 lawyers graduated in a single year.
Wia all of dem dey?

MBEGBU CC: The boy said that about 500 student's graduated from law in Madonna university in 2011, if I am to judge the number is outrageous because I know in my school UNN, they admit about 120 to 130 student's every session.
