Congratulations Omoluabi, Omo rere bi iyan.

More of this.

Thanks dear. I appreciate.

Yustash001:
That's Ekiti....I heard they have the highest number of professors...

That's because the state is a very dead state. Zero jobs hence many of them usually end up in the academia route.

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”

You first have to understand my point, to see if there's sense in it.

I celebrate you bro, congrats we're proud of you....

This is so misleading. This young man did not bag a Phd in law but a juris doctor degree. That is just the american equivalent of a first degree in law going by british and nigerian contexts. It is not a Phd like when one bags a Bsc, Msc and then Phd. The Juris Doctor degree (J.D. or JD), also known as the Doctor of Jurisprudence degree (J.D., JD, D.Jur. or DJur), is a graduate-entry professional degree in law. The young man's father is either ignorant or just delibrately wants to mislead people. I'm shocked that this was reported by the tibune a nigerian newspaper of repute. This is what you expect of bloggers. Sad.

Congratulations to him although I’m a bit wary of PhDs from the Southwest. They were largely the ones campaigning for Buhari. I don’t respect those people.

Congratulations Omoluabi!

I knew from the start this is fake news. George Washington University doesn't offer PhD in Law (https://www.law.gwu.edu/admissions).

JD isn't a PhD but the first professional and qualifying degree in law. US universities do not offer LLBs. This is in the same way that you need a BSc degree before studying for PharmD which itself is not a doctorate degree. So Kemi Olunloyo is lying, claiming the title Dr. PharmDs are not Doctors. Only Nigerians holding thus degree refer to themselves as Drs because their fellow countrymen are oblivious to the reality.

In fact, the progression is to then take LLM after JD then a PhD or SJD (Doctor of Judicial Science).

The media hype over this simply shows how uneducated, unenlightened, daft and gullible the Nigerian peopke have become. Look at the boy's linkedin profile. He has a JD (2017-2020) not a PhD. To gain a PhD, this lad would have to work off his sucks for another 4-5 years in North American system or a minimum of 3 years in the UK.
