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

D author didn't say obasa graduated from law school. Can u show me were d author categorically said that obasa graduated from law school? Do u understand what it means to use d website as a reference? Pls read again and notice d choice of words:

"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".

If on a C.V. u put d year of graduation from an institution, what is ur intent? If u didn't graduate from an institution, what is d essence of putting it on ur C.V.? Are u familiar with how C.V.s are written? Pls what is d whole idea behind d article? Do u no d essence of d article?

Newboss:


The author said that. You even quoted where said it. The website didn't say so. Whatever an article said that doesn't correlate with what's on the referenced website is just the author spewing BS. You can't say a website said what it clearly didn't say and still claim to referencing the website.

If a reference is false, the falsehood becomes the opinion of that person. I can as well say, according to Google, your father sucks dicks for a living. That would be invalid, and hence just my opinion of your father. You can hold me responsible for calling your father a cöcksücker

Am not sure what dick sucking has got to do with d discussion.on Can answer d questions I asked in my comment cos all u did at best was avoid yet u are drawing conclusions:

Simple analogy, you still don't get.

It's just a CV thing. State all relevant academic history. It's up to everyone to decide what's relevant. The mistake some people make is think not graduating, despite attending, dents your CV. It doesn't. Everything on your CV adds weight to your CV. Even that withdrawal/expulsion from university will add weight to your CV. It says something about you. It makes you stand out among the crowd.

The purpose of an article is the headache of the author. I just hate misinterpretation of facts, for whatever reason. The author did that, and I reacted to that.

LegendHero:
The Supreme Court stated in the letter that:

He is at liberty to come to this honorable court with his Call to bar and qualifying certificates for enrollment.


Could it be the lawyers have to enroll to be included in the Rolls of Legal Practitioner record?

lexy2014:


If u feel that d purpose of an article is d headache, then u shouldn't be reading d article or talking about it. U should leave d article for it's author to read. U claim to hate

SmartyPants:




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.

Newboss:


Hate? Baba, easy na.

Only the author can tell why he wrote an article. It's his headache. I just found the headline interesting. That's why I read the article. Anyone could author anything. I read the ones that interest me. The motive or intention of the author, is his headache. I wouldn't bother myself with that. I don't even know who the author is.

lexy2014:


If u feel that d purpose of an article is d headache, then u shouldn't be reading d article or talking about it. U should leave d article for it's author to read. U claim to "hate misrepresentation of facts" but u have been trying to interpret what d author said or didn't say. U can't be doing doing that and be claiming anonymity at d same time

hardbody:


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?

Bro see you see prison oo

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

MrColdsweat:


The more reason yorubas should rise up and stop this madness. The thugs and touts are in government while the educated ones are littered around unemployed.

LaboPolitics:
Another 'Oluwole' certificate scandal from the yoruba tribe that are always good at grandstanding about 'literacy and sophistication' while trying to paint others as 'illiterate' spare parts dealers.

Back to back 'oluwoleism'.

you are against godfatherism abi?but when obaseki shared edos money to the pdp godfathers just to get their ticket,it wasn't godfatherism playing out abi?I'm not gullible pls

bigfish3k:

Paying to buy form is not Godfatherism.
All states with Godfathers don't develop. Fashola had to fight Tinubu to be able to achieve to the level of what he did in Lagos

Emmycrucial1:
A barrister, men going for women leadership training which cost 80m, and a fraudulent expenditure. All for one person alone, this Is SERIOUS!

Interesting. So those colleagues who are working with only their Law degrees, what work do they do?

Is this your position supported by the Legal Practitioners Act? If yes what section of that Law are you making reference to?

I submit that while most people I know have proceeded to the Law School after their final year at the university, a few have stayed back and worked with their Law degree and they did solicitor's job which basically has to do with documentations, agreements, Land matters, etc. They can only qualify as Barristers after being called to the Bar.

The distinction you made about about the position in England is apt and tends to speak to the line of reasoning most people have around that position even here in Nigeria
