bennygreat1: At last, the Academic Staff Union of
Universities has agreed to call off its six-
month-old strike.
The followed the signing of a
Memorandum of Understanding with the
Federal Government on Wednesday.
The agreement, signed at the Presidential
Villa, Abuja on Wednesday evening, is a
new pact between the varsity lecturers and
the Federal Government.
The Minister of Education, Chief Nyesom
Wike, and the Chairman of ASUU, Dr.
Nasir Fagge, confirmed the development
to newsmen at the Presidential Villa.
Fagge, however, said the leadership of the
union still needs to confer with the National
Executive Committee before announcing a
resumption date.

lizzyslaw: @poster, legal practice is a different ball game from office jobs per se. One can be intelligent and yet lack the skills needed for advocacy. In my experience having practiced with the secretary of a branch as well as a thriving firm owned by a lawyer and Dr. in one of the Nigerian Universities, I would say that it is your carriage and sometimes connections that gets you a job with a chambers.

Often, if the chambers is in need of a junior, they give the junior a shot. They could ask u if u know how to move motions and write briefs particularly in this era of frontloading but in most cases, they want to know if u have got what it takes to talk authoritatively in court. In effect am saying that they could ask unachievable legal question or nothing legal at all, what they really are trying to find out is if you have the requisite boldness to face the court I.e the judge and also win the confidence of your client.

Hope this helps and I have not confused u even more

Anuoluwap: The strike isn't over so you shouldn't use 'spent' as if you are back in school. @post alaba market on point.

olire: yeah, there is a book, Nigeria Weekly Law Report (NWLR) i tot a website will be available. To get D weekly law repot, i have to buy. But i need the cases 4 research, assignment and all odas.

Obrafour: Whatever that JAMB and POST-UME may mean to you Nigerians, we Ghanaians care less. We have our own
standards and we shall not share or suffer your difficulty and inability of your leaders to provide education for all Nigerians, no
blanket statement equalizing issues will be accepted.
Of course, it is no secret that the
Ghanaian system of education is the envy of all others anywhere who know its worth. Those in Nigeria trying to belittle it are wasting their time and energy, its an open secret
that most nigerians including the Operator of this Thread are unhappy about the mass movement of nigerians to study in Ghana, but why denigrate an innocent country's education system and leave out the failure of your government? We in Ghana value our educational certificate and if you feel peeved about it, I urge you to petition your authorities not to recognise Certificates from Ghana.
How many Ghanaian teachers haven't
flocked into Nigeria since the 1970s to
teach Nigerian students and help improve that system of education? Has Ghana ever had any influx of Nigerian educators?
Please, why pick on Ghana when you equally have Nigerians in other countries pursuing higher education?

fabby26: The poster is right in his opinion, why calling him 'mumu' . I think the correct name for this thread would have been " What will be your plans if and only if ASUU suspends the strike next week or
"What are your plans should ASUU suspends Strike next week

hammedkola: So...am I to do total calculation of it or what?

Syenite: I can guess u are from that part of Nigeria that is currently experiencing a drought in the Super Eagles. Nothing for u guys for now. We now know the region that has been drawing us back all these while. Super Eagles o ni baje!

olire: i hav also heard of suits, do you know a site to download it?

Illuminatus: I know law can be sourced from cultural beliefs and religious norms. But not every Law in the Nigerian constitution is culled from the Bible, or Koran or even religious sentiments. I believe there I read somewhere that there are laws that are enacted because they're universally right or wrong (as the case may be) and then laws that are objectively right or wrong [Basic Theses of Natural Law]. For example, the Law instructing drivers to wear seatbelts isn't culled from any religious or cultural belief, it is purely objectively right [I believe there's a phrase for it].
Moreover, I'm not demanding that gay marriage be legalized. I'm just questioning how right it is to criminalize something like this. Especially since some acts that I could argue is in the same category (like fornication) isn't labelled a crime.

gentlefada: hmmmmm. I remember when i was in part 1 when did a topic under legal methods which is sources of law. Basically, the aim of the topic was to examine the different sources which law can be drawn from. Some of those sources are history of the people, values of the people, religion and culture of the people etc.
The last sources i mention which is culture and religion is an important source of law which cannot be contradicted or compromised in any way. In the drafting of any law there must be strict adherence to the culture of people because having a law that is inconsistent with what the culture of the people permits would be catastrophic to the democracy of that community. A striking example of this Nigerian criminal justice system. As you should be aware of Nigeria crimanal trials are cunducted with provisions from two main statute books
1) the criminal code
2) the penal code
The former operates in the south while the latter operates in the north. The northerners are predominantly a islam practicing society and people who practice islam as prescribed by the Holy book which is the Quran and the Sunaa (the practise of the prophet). The northern penal code was fashioned in adherence with the Quran and the Sunaa becus failure to do so would create an ungovernable society.
Now lets take Nigeria as a whole. You would agree with me that majority of Nigerians whether we like it or not are religious. Also, Nigeria is a country where culture is paramount. Enacting a law that allows homosexuality would be contradictory the majority of nigerian culture.
Finally, according to jeremy benthan law should create the greatest amount of happiness for the greatest amount of people in the society. Allowing homosexuality would not achieve goal.
So my bro law culture and religio cannot be separeted in a country like Nigeria.

Illuminatus: I was reading a blog that made me once again question some part of our constitution.
Do you think it's LEGALLY right that the constitution categorizes gay sex as a criminal offense? Please note, I'm not asking if it's RELIGIOUSLY OR CULTURALLY RIGHT. My emphasis is on the Law.
Personally, I think homosexuality and/gay sex shouldn't be seen as a crime, as long as it is between two consenting adults or minors (as the case may be) and in private. I'm going to talk later, but I wanna hear what you guys have to say. Make your case

IamDejman: U guys shuld watch Suits....it's educative in some ways

Fentoluwa: okay. ''The good wife'' Is that another legal tv series?

Fentoluwa: Has anyone seen the 'boston legal' movie? I think it's a good movie to watch and learn few legal persuasive skills.

zezeny: Just as we av much applicants nd few spaces for D.E., so also we av much applicants and few spaces for jamb applicants if u would agree with me, as u know dat Law runs on quota. In my school, d same plain process dat characterise d jamb admission is also wot obtain in D.E. During admission in my school, u don't see pple lobbying around d Faculty because nobody will tell u to submit any document or wotever. Dats d tradition. So its d same for all admission in UI, (D.E. or Jamb).
N.B. Pls I'm not trying to compare schools or hype my school. I'm only saying wot obtains in my school, nd I blive it can be d same in some oda schools too.

zezeny: I can't speak for oda schools, but as for my school, UI, dere is nothing like long leg. Wen I got admitted into UI, I knew nobody dere (students or lecturer), infact I've never stepped my feet dere b4. My first time of getting into UI was wen I went to write my post utme. And d next time after dat was after my admission wen I went for my clearance. I didn't not av anybody's phone number nd I didn't even know anytin about d school. But all I know is dat dey carried us along tru out d admission process. Infact, I finished all my admission on my browsing phone. Funny enough, I knew d number my name was going to be on d admission list nd wen d list came out my name was exactly on dat number, dis is because our score was made open, so I cud easily add 2+2 to get 4. All I'm saying is dat, u don't need any long leg, (for my school oh, cos I can only speak for my school which I'm familiar with nd not for odas), once u merit d admission den u get it. GOODLUCK.
