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-

I graduated University 7 months before my 20th birthday and my wife graduated 6 days after she turned 20yrs old, so how is his story impossible?

Very possible sir. I am above 60, son of a farmer and got my WAEC @ 16.

Oshibajo, from a more privileged background could have done it at 14.

I am not saying his date of birth is correct though.

Honestly I didn't quite understand what the comparism was about. When has Soyinka become the standard reference point for the scholarly prowess or otherwise of anyone

These jonaTANians are too damn basic honestly. They couldn't stick anything to the man for two days besides how long it took for him to be selected, and now this!!

Their propaganda machinery has been overheating since Buhari's emergence and they got their gaskets blown after Osinbajo was selected as his running mate!

Whatever mud they throw is already expected anyway.

#Buhari/Osinbajo till 2023.

How some people reason eludes me. He is claiming Soyinka is now the benchmark for early education, what a fallacy !!!!

@the bold, You lie very greatly there except you schooled in one very remote village school. I also schooled in the eighties (an army children school) and didn't have that apply to me. Osinbajo was lucky to have affluent parents who sent him to a private school and as far as i hear, that didn't apply there even in the '60's

Certain qualities or precocity might have over-ruled the hand to ear..maybe he was just gifted.i think he shone very bright as a kid.there are lots of kids like that, he might have learnt how to write letters and telegrams when older kids were still learning how to recite and write English alphabets with chalks on charcoal polished wooden slates. Kids like that normally 'jump' classes to higher ones.

You beat me to it. That hand to ear wouldn't apply in a school like Corona school..

I met an old guy from Guildford who told me his wife was at corona when it started, not sure if she started it or the first headmistress of the school..a nice gentleman he was,about 82 years as at 2008..had some form of mouth cancer..bless him...his name was John Band.He lived in Nigeria during the 50s and 60s

My best friend's dad was too frail to work on the farm and too tiny for his hands to touch the other ear so he was sent to do houseboy for the white man. The oyinbo discovered the boy had read most of the books in his library at some point so he made the boy take some tests which he passed in flying colours (the man was a genius). Long story short, the boy skipped most of the elementary classes, went on to be a teacher to students that he was 2 to 4 years older than, moved on to university and greater things.

Moral of my story - there are exceptions to the rule.

@op, I believe the first thing you should do is verify your source of information. Nigerians are notorious for not paying attention to detail. Some underling delegated to post information online might mistake 7 for 9 and vice versa which would explain the conflicting information from the 2 sources above. Trust Nigerians not to proofread what's been posted online too. I bet this won't be the first time you'll find erroneous information on a website. I'm not claiming your source is wrong but in the light of this, I believe you need verification before you start to make any accusations.

It's quite possible he graduated at 19, examples of such at that time have been stated on this thread. If he was born in 1957 however, that means he graduated at 21 which is even more feasible. My advice, check your "facts".

@ op please read and peruse 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; African Statesman Intercollegiate Best Speaker’s Prize, 1974.

Between 1975-1978, he proceeded to the University of Lagos where we was awarded an LLB. In obtaining a Second Class Upper Degree, he received the Graham-Douglas Prize for Commercial Law.
A professor of law at age 37 (1994)

A genius as a vice president

SAI buhari 2015 is sure






If he entered Igbobi college in 1975 and finished in 1978, is it not certain that he skipped one or two classes as a result of double promotion?
