Re: LASU Law Rated Best In Africa by Ejine(m): 11:09pm On Dec 09, 2011 |
Wait. I just did a Google search, and I've got to ask: Why is 'The Nation' the only news tabloid carrying this story? And as we all know, 'The Nation' is owned by the one and only Bola Tinubu. Care to explain why this is so? Because, I know alot about university affairs worldwide; and I know that when such claims are made, there's a generally accessible information on the firm that carried out the research, and the list itself is fully accessible on the public domain. An instance is the new list that Cambridge has surpased Harvard. Google it and you'll see the list as well as the story being acknowledged by reputable news firms to be true. But on the case of this story on this thread, I google it and all I see is Bola Tinubu's 'The Nation' as the only site carrying this story. Care to shed a little more light on this, sir? |
Re: LASU Law Rated Best In Africa by Ejine(m): 11:14pm On Dec 09, 2011 |
Guys, google it. There's no other news body affirming this story except Bola Tinubu's 'The Nation'. What is going on? |

Re: LASU Law Rated Best In Africa by Gbawe: 11:40pm On Dec 09, 2011 |
realchange: You people are really sad. First, the joke is on you because you show you have very poor research skills. Second, you only succeed in showing that you are just consumed with bigotry and discrediting first rather than giving credit where due as if we are not all Nigerians and as if these sort of achievement is not to the glory of Nigeria. The article here says : LASU was among the 36 invited for the finals. The LASU team competed against teams from Pepperdine University (US), Russian Academy of Justice (Russia), Buenos Aires University (Argentina) and Gujarat University (India). check the link below to see who is at number 34. Abi Tinubu owns that link too? http://fdimoot.org/2011/

hmm, I see. |
Re: LASU Law Rated Best In Africa by EkoIle1: 11:54pm On Dec 09, 2011 |
@ Gbawe, you beet me to it, lol @ the usual sad and sorrowful people, they don't even hide their idiocy and ignorance no more. These are just a bunch of intellectually lazy clowns with zero capacity to do good and see others do good. These are Nigerian students and I'm sure they were referred to as Nigeria students, not Lagos student and you at least owe them the respect and benefit of the doubt, not just because they did good, but also because they represented your country and made you proud. They didn't bring you any bad name or image, they improved and laundered your image and prestige. These needless trash anything syndrome is really getting annoying and way overplayed |
Re: LASU Law Rated Best In Africa by loma(m): 11:56pm On Dec 09, 2011 |
While I applaud the students for getting to the London round , help me understand this. They came 34th out of the 35 schools in the London round. How does that translate to 14th in the World? Also how do you extrapolate performance in a Moot competition to ranking of the Law school? So next time students from UNAAB win a Fluid Mechanics competition (or come 34th out of 35 schools), they automatically become best Engineering school in Africa and 14th in the world? Am I missing some part of the story? |
Re: LASU Law Rated Best In Africa by EkoIle1: 11:57pm On Dec 09, 2011 |
And if we didn't do what they were too lazy and incompetent to do by spending a minute to look for and post the link, they'll still be here and trooping in to continues their orgy of ignorance and sadness. I can't believe that these low class thinkers are the future of Nigeria. |
Re: LASU Law Rated Best In Africa by Kobojunkie: 11:58pm On Dec 09, 2011 |
So out of a team of 35, LASU came 34th? Not bad! |

loma: No you are not ! This is how it goes with most of the stories out of Nigeria . , . you look for other ways to verify claims made and probably learn the real facts . |

congrats to them but this is just a competition and not overall school ranking stop trying to mislead people. |
Re: LASU Law Rated Best In Africa by Ejine(m): 12:11am On Dec 10, 2011 |
Jeez. Easy guys. No need for hateful insults, please. To make things clear, my statements still remain valid, because: 1. The list you posted there is from a competition attended by some students from some universities who volunteered to attend. This does not in any way signify 'World's best', because the grading is only by universities which featured in it. 2. The claims made by 'The Nation' still remain false, because, even after voluntarily attending the competition, the team finished 34th out of 35, and not 14th best in the World, like the poster bluntly claims. Please, let us be objective and leave tribal sentiments. Let us discuss like normal humans for once, because I do not like the direction this whole thing is going. Please, just respect yourselves and try to be civil, or you will leave me with no options than to report to mods (can't believe I even said that). |
Re: LASU Law Rated Best In Africa by luvola(m): 12:21am On Dec 10, 2011 |
according to what i read in thenations news(link posted above) the organiser of the competition rank lasu as the best law faculy in africa and 14th in the world and that 200 schools participated in the competition out of which lasu was knocked out in d round of 16, some one should paste out the content of the nation news link. |
Re: LASU Law Rated Best In Africa by Ejine(m): 12:22am On Dec 10, 2011 |
loma: LOL. In this list, I don't see Lagos anywhere. And sitting comfortably on number 14 is the University of Chicago. You see? I made a rebuttal on the story and a brother came with a result sheet from a Moot competition, while the other already resorted to cusses and unnecessary insults. Why? :\ Na so this Politics section be? Na wa oh. |
Re: LASU Law Rated Best In Africa by EkoIle1: 12:25am On Dec 10, 2011 |
Ejiné: Please stop the bait and switching. You insinuated in the quote below that the news itself was false simply because you were too lazy to google properly or that other news papers did not publish the same thing as if that's any indication of anything. Now it's about who attended or didn't attend. Stick to your initial argument and quit trying to hang on to what was never your point. The only falsity I see here is you.
And if I might add, the fact that they cam first or last makes no difference to me simply because they won even before leaving Nigeria. With our sorry education system, they still scaled over hundreds of law schools to make it to the competition and they were in the same competition with some of the best law schools in the world. I'm sure they'll cherish that experience or the rest of their lives and motivate countless students in Nigeria to even go farther than this team. This is really nothing to knock, we are just to sad and vindictive for our own good. |
Re: LASU Law Rated Best In Africa by luvola(m): 12:27am On Dec 10, 2011 |
@ ejine - 200 schools participated and not 35 and mind u lasu represented nigeria as a whole because they came best in the 2011 nig law sch award. read the link very well |
Re: LASU Law Rated Best In Africa by Gbawe: 12:34am On Dec 10, 2011 |
Kobojunkie: realchange: To be honest, the above show what a Ghanaian friend once said to me about how Nigerians are the most negative and self-hating folks, unappreciative of their own nation, he has ever met. He said "when Nigerians have other Nigerians to deal with, what do they need enemies for?" All you focus on is negativity that makes you conclude , with glee, Nigeria came 34th. Well, look again . It says "Team Ranking (Oral Rounds 1-4 and Memorials)". For one thing, "oral round" may just be one aspect that contributed to eventual overall ranking and "1-4 " may have been ranking going forward into last 16, last 8, etc. Meanwhile, the article from the Nation says : Though the team lost at Round 16, just before the quarter finals, LASULAWS was crowned “The Best Team in Africa” and “14th” in the world. Before the quarter finals means before the last 8. Double that and it would mean Nigeria was in the round involving the last 16. Probable then that they came 14th overall if they made the last 16. in the haste to assume the worst and pander to self-hating negativity about ones'e own nation we see the type of feverish jumping to conclusion that saw a poster claim this story was fake to begin with : hehahaa! na amala paper write am! Indeed, with Nigerians like you lot, Nigeria does not need enemies. |
Re: LASU Law Rated Best In Africa by luvola(m): 12:35am On Dec 10, 2011 |
@ ejine - what they mean was that the sch law faculty is currently the best in africa and 14th in thew world and not the overall best |
Re: LASU Law Rated Best In Africa by luvola(m): 12:44am On Dec 10, 2011 |
@ gbawe - they are bad belle people . out of 200 sch ,they stil made it to the last 16 and the organiser rated them as the best team in afri2 and 14th in the world, pls paste the content of the nation link for them to see |
Re: LASU Law Rated Best In Africa by Ejine(m): 12:48am On Dec 10, 2011 |
Please stop the bait and Too funny! The one advise I'd give you is to not try outrunning your shadow. The poster's title insinuates LASU Law Faculty is the best in Africa, does it not? So, naturally, if this is true, the only google keywords it would require to reveal the story would be "LASU Law faculty best in Africa", should it not? Or do I now have to start aimlessly ransacking the internet for some Moot score sheet to reveal this so called list? You're a very funny character. Unfortunately, for all the wrong reasons. or Of course it goes a very long way to say so. You can't stage a competition from a handful teams and then call the winner the best in the World. You're never to be taken seriously with that. Stick to your initial argument and Quite frankly, I think it is you who needs to drop the childish ad hominem attacks and focus on the crux of the argument, which is all about the falsity of the tabloid, because: 1. Nowhere does the message from the FDI moot competition name LASU as best in Africa, 2. The message there shows they came 34th and NOT even 14th. But you conveniently skipped that part only to write me an anger-filled sob story about how we should be proud, and yet you have the NERVE to say someone else is switching arguments? Mr Brotherman. SMH. |
Re: LASU Law Rated Best In Africa by Gbawe: 12:57am On Dec 10, 2011 |
luvola: I know. disgraceful how these "Nigerians" were deliberately only looking for negatives. If this same feat had been pulled off by Ghana or Botswana, these same set of people will say "look at small nations showing up the giant of Africa". We can understand Nigerians criticising our Nation over negative issues but what kind of Nigerian knocks his/her country over positive achievement also? |
Re: LASU Law Rated Best In Africa by Ejine(m): 12:59am On Dec 10, 2011 |
luvola: This is the World ranking of University Law faculties: www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/world-university-rankings/2011/subject-rankings/social-sciences/law That position you're talking about? It's occupied by the University of Chicago. Guys, don't get me wrong - I'm proud of these guys and happy for them. But my argument has always been on the Falsity of the article! Simple! Why's that so hard to see?! And people are already quick to brand me a 'bad belle'. Bad belle on what? The achievements of my FELLOW countrymen? Please, just get it right - not everyone is interested in partisan politics! |
Re: LASU Law Rated Best In Africa by EkoIle1: 1:01am On Dec 10, 2011 |
Ejiné: Your initial claim was that other news outlets didn't run it and only BAT's did so something is fishy? Well as we now know, nothing was fishy, it was all about you and you inability to google. All your after thought is really irrelevant. Anyways, I thought Gbawe took care of your ignorance. |

LASU is Africa’s best By Ngozi Agbo 08/12/2011 00:00:00 Font size: Despite the fee crisis rocking the Lagos State University (LASU), its students are still among the best in the world. Some of its law students displayed skill and dexterity at the Foreign Direct Investment International Arbitration Moot Court Competition. They emerged the best from Africa. The competition, organised by the Centre for International Legal Studies, was held between November 4 and 6 at the Kings College, London. LASU representatives were Prof Olusegun Yerokun, Dean; Dr. Gbadebo Olagunju, lecturer, Department of International Law and Jurisprudence. The counsel, both 500-Level students, were Chinedu Geoffrey Ihenetu and Daniel Ogunbote. Institutions in attendance included University of Barcelona, Universite Paris, I Pantheon Sorbonne, Universidad de Granada, Uni Curitiba, Suffolk Silesia, Russian Academy of Justice, Pepperdine University, Paris Dauphine, NUJS, Novosibirsk, Novi Sad, Northumbria University, New York University, Mykolas Romeris, Minas Gerais, Mgimo, Masaryk, Kyiv University, Kings College, Kaplan, City University, Hong Kong, Houston University, Charles University, Gujarat University, University of Belgrade, Georgetown University, Buenos Aires University, Belarusian University, Boston University and Ankara University. The build-up to the oral finals included a written submission by more than 200 universities across the world. LASU was among the 36 invited for the finals. The LASU team competed against teams from Pepperdine University (US), Russian Academy of Justice (Russia), Buenos Aires University (Argentina) and Gujarat University (India). Though the team lost at Round 16, just before the quarter finals, LASULAWS was crowned “The Best Team in Africa” and “14th” in the world. The counsel made the university, Nigeria and Africa proud by beating their American, Asian and European counterparts. Kings College, London won the competition. The founder of the competition, Prof Martin Hunter, whose book on International Investment Arbitration is widely regarded in Europe as the “Bible” of this unique area of law, praised the LASU students. Remarkably, in the World Student Arbitrator Rankings, Geoffrey was listed 41st and Daniel, 78th out of 107 students. Geoffrey told CAMPUSLIFE that he was happy to fly the Nigerian flag. He called for more funding of such competitions. “We are calling on the government, organisations and individuals to put more into competitions like this so as to help wake law students from slumber and propel them to legal research”. |
