Seems u didn't read d article & d C.V. intently:

"He is also described on the Assembly's website as graduating from the Nigerian Law School in 2007, a year after he obtained a Bachelor of Law degree from the Lagos State University".

Attendance is not graduation. If you don't pass the exam, you won't be called to Bar. That doesn't change the fact that you have a degree in law. You're not just licensed to practice law in Nigeria

So I have a question.

Have you heard of any instance where a lawyer failed to submit his credentials on the first day but later had to enrol after many years?

If that is possible then Obasa can just give a reason for that but if not, then Obasa is a disgrace to anything he represents!
I have never heard of such a case because the call to bar ceremony is divided into morning and afternoon session.

The lawyers called to bar in the morning are required to proceed to the Supreme Court that afternoon for enrollment. Those called to bar in the afternoon are required to go to the Supreme Court the next day for enrollment.

The enrollment at the Supreme Court affirms your status as a lawyer.

So i doubt anybody will travel down to Abuja for his call to bar ceremony and neglect the most important part which is enrollment.

Are they talking about being a lawyer or a barrister?

People mistake this two things, however I read where they said he went to law school, he might have, but didn’t pass, so you can’t see his name on register but that doesn’t stop him from answering a law graduate.

On his biography as pasted here, he never claimed to have graduated from Law School, he ended it at his University degree. If that’s what he has been using to work he has no problem.

Is just like an Engineering graduate who is not registered with COREN you have Engineering degree but you are not a registered Engineer but not human can stop you from saying you graduated as an Engineer from university.

I know same is applicable to pharmacy and Accountancy

We graduated...but we haven't been allowed to answer the Prefix: Engr.

So what you are saying in essence is that if you attended DELSU but you didn't graduate, it means you can fill DELSU as school attended in your CV or a form abi? We are all learning. I'm a Barrister and I practice as well. So lecture me sir or ma.

Please note, I don't believe any news from Sahara reporters except same is reported in a reputable medium. Sahara reporters is known for spreading falsehood for popularity.

Check very well, he shouldn't have include ''NIGERIAN LAW SCHOOL (2007).

When you are writing your resume, you don't put qualifications you cannot back up with empirical evidence. Certificate is a perfect example.

He might surely be a graduate of law but if you are not called to the bar, you cannot claimed to be a lawyer because you are not a practising one, he can only be addressed as law graduate.

Yes, you can. That's why they ask the year you graduated. You can say you didn't graduate, if they ask. Attendance is not graduation. People need to be more specific when asking questions to avoid loopholes like this.

This is not entirely true. U can not practice law if u were not called to the bar. He is a lawyer bt not a barrister.

An engineer can practice without being member of COREN.

Spot on.

On the bolded, replace 'lawyer' with solicitor.

Lawyers are called to the Bar of the Supreme Court of Nigeria when they have passed from the Law School and become qualified to be registered.

Upon graduation from your university, you become qualified to practice as a solicitor and shall not appear before any court of record unless you have been called to the Nigerian Bar.

Obasa is the one who spear headed the removal of Ambode just because he is a man of integrity and will not facilitate the disbursement of funds from the Lagos State treasury to any politician or government official

There is no loopholes Oga. Stop confusing people. When you say you attended a school, it mean you graduated from that school and the year next to it means that is the year you graduated and not the year you attended the school.

Don't support rubbish. The only thing that saved him is he didn't include Bachelor of Law (BL) before the Nigerian Law School (NLS). In conclusion, he never got BL from Nigerian Law School if I'm to interpret it as a lawyer.

However, he was just trying to be smart by not disclosing that he never graduated and the intent is simply fraudulent.

There is no lawyer who qualified to practice in Nigeria that doesn't have his name enrolled in the register of legal practitioners in Nigeria. So long as you made yourself available for the enrollment. The record from Candidate 001 till date is available. Stick to what you know. Or are you planning on claiming that you qualified but the records are not available?

Fellow Nigerians it's about time we change the narrative not just for ourselves but for our society, generations unborn and a better world.

It's about time we begin to let go of excuses, blame games and look within ourselves on how to make a better country out of the current mess, death of leadership, docility of followership and take up the mantle of responsibility of our actions and inactions.

The current crop of leaders won't help the masses aside themselves, families and cronies. The country belongs to all of us and there's urgent needs to demand accountability whilst at the same time we come to equity ourselves.

For me it's gonna be a new dawn.

Lawyers are called to the Bar of the Supreme Court of Nigeria when they have passed from the Law School and become qualified to be registered.

Upon graduation from your university, you become qualified to practice as a solicitor and shall not appear before any court of record unless you have been called to the Nigerian Bar.

Just stating the position as it is at law, I am not interested in the substance of this matter or the party affiliations of the dramatis personae

1. The write up says he is described as having graduated from the Nigerian Law School
2. You are not a lawyer, which he has described himself as, until you are called to the bar
3. You only become a barrister or solicitor when you are called to the bar. That is why the title reads: barrister and solicitor of the supreme court of Nigeria. Unlike in England, the roles of barrister and solicitor are fused, and even in England there are formal post-university training programs for both solicitors and barristers that is equivalent to the bar program in Nigeria.

To cut the long story short.

A law degree does not make you a lawyer nor does it make you a solicitor. It makes you a holder of a law degree.
