Good day to you dear Nairalanders, please I indulge your wise counsel on this matter, I appreciate any form of reasonable advise. I am law graduate of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), we are currently being denied admission into the Nigerian law school (NLS); by the council for legal education(CLE). My dream course of study as a younger person was either law or journalism. I graduated with a 2:2 class law degree (LLB Law). I want to further my education up to Master’s level, at least, although I wish to set up a personal business later in life when I am able to, as a paid job may not fulfill my most of my needs and long term aspirations .I am almost 30 years of age and single. I have been working since graduating from secondary school, through university and now as a chamber administrator in a big law firm, I have mostly worked in clerical, administrative and hospitality roles; as an Office Assistant, Librarian, Salesman, Receptionist, Supervisor and Secretary at various times and establishments. However, I am not so happy with the fact that I cannot achieve my dream of practicing law yet, due to the standoff between the CLE and NOUN. I mostly supported myself through university education and I am willing to continue Open and Distance Learning anywhere, though NOUN is still my first choice. NOUN had only one program for post graduate level legal studies i.e. Post Graduate Diploma in Legislative Drafting, but the candidate must have been called to the Nigerian bar. Noun has just introduced Master Degree Programme for Law, but is it with enrolling into without legal practice? I am aware many lawyers don’t practice, but I still wish to be a certified legal practitioner and still pursue any other vocation I may chose. I want to climb up the career and success ladder because I want to earn more, help my dependents, have financial security, and maybe start a family. I may have a big dream right? I have no other choice than that. I still do apply for jobs in government agencies, but I need your much needed counsel (dear seniors, professionals, human resource officers, business owners, academics etc.) to guide me right. My questions may be summarized as follows: 1. What other course should I study another course at the undergraduate or post graduate level, that will complement my law degree? 2. How wise is it for me to further my legal studies without practicing law? 3. What other professions requires law background/legal knowledge, other than as a barrister? 4. What other career paths or study do I choose over law? 5. What technical skill, training or business should I learn, if I decide to ditch formal education, for now?
DMerciful: They are. We cant have people with little cultural differences claiming to be separate. How old is their history? Upto 2000yrs?
When people speak Igbo(of whatever dialect), bear Igbo names and the custodians of their traditions bear Obi and Eze(Jaja of Opobo was an Igbo too), the Igbos are usually confused to hear from a Bini person that they are not related to Igbos. There are Igbo dialect, even in Abia state which the average Igbo man may find difficult to understand. It's not bad if they are related to Bini, but the Igbo identity is too strong to deny.
Binikingdowm: successful in terms of drug trafficking around the world? You people should be ashame even trying to shame Edo women why your people are in jail all over the world. They now differentiate Igbo's from other Nigerian tribes because that is what you people are known for.
Don't let me start on the baby factory and local prostitition Nigerians know you people for, it's a fact that Igbo's dominate every ashawo centres in Nigeria.
Which 40 million Igbo's? all these fake statistics without census, that was how I read Igbo was 55 million in population on Wikipedia.
Benin language won't die because it's our ligual franca and since Igbo's are dieing more than they are giving birth, we'll soon pass you people in population
Igbos may not be the best, but comparing them with Edo is time wasting.
Chimookigwe: You people don't hear word and it is because of inherited stupidity.
You'll be calling these people Igbos but when they deal with you how they dealt with your fathers that made them to run and leave property, you'll start crying.
Edo and this particular Port Harcourt gave you painful lessons but you don't learn.
Stop displaying your stupidity, everyone must not agree with you. I am disappointed in your childish rants. Are your people better than Igbos today? Even with all the losses to the Igbo nation?
CzarChris: Dude I know you're gay and it's frustrating, go for therapy I hear it helps. As for the shine shoes line, that's so lame. My gateman earns more than you do. People like me make my money here in Nigeria, so I don't have to go azzlicking to queers who attain whatever position anywhere, what's wrong is wrong.

I took the test today scored 19 out of 30 questions, that is 63.33%, I am a non indigene and feel I should have done better. Especially when I saw the solutions and discovered I made a few errors which could have given me 70% at least.
CzarChris: Anuofia, I'm only stating the obvious. We don't condone such immoral behavior in igboland, stop being an automated azzlicking hypocrite and say the truth always, she is a disgrace straight and simple.
Look how you're barking like a dog, you cannot shine shoes. Face your frustration.
Duggedised12: The gays i know including lesbians picked it up from same sex boarding school and i am sure many people here can testify to it too.If you see it as a stereotype ,definitely your cup of tea ,not mine.
The bottom line here is gender segregation promotes sexual deviancy, same way that vatican has been fingered in homosexality and also sharia run environments are crawling with closet homos.
most gay people had access to girls, but see them like sisters.
godliman: First talk to your God except you dont have any, next talk frankly with your husband and lastly talk to your pastor. Your husband needs deliverance from the demon of sodomy. If you are chanced to witness the deliverance of your husband you will be shocked at the way demons will manifest through him. Hurry up else he will soon get caught and may land in prison or be killed. Gays dont live long.
Demons ke, many gay people are down low, you can never guess who they are. Many of the most hunks are gay, some even express homophobia due to self hate or cover up.
Tehila07: Pm me, I will give an advice that may work or not work. I really don't like telling people online about spiritual solution but that is the only thing that can work at this juncture.
Sexual orientation has no solution, it's the society that's making gay people marry for children and social status. If society is less hostile to them, no body will be mistaken about another's sexuality, as there is no need to lie.
Ajaerof: Plz I need help, Dont even mind my Grammar please I have to summarise this. My husband of 5yrs now behaves so strange in our home since we got Married. I didn't really date him, because it was a distant relationship before we finally says Yes"
He is a nice Man, I mean kind in nature, but I noticed he is not moved at all no matter how hot I am, this has been bordering me since. I have been the one initiating Sex since our marriage. God has been on my side we have two kids now, I have tried all I could, all abortive.
Most of his friends are just small boys, I have even caught him with one particular one, that nearly sent me home.... is all About this Guy then, he even spent months in same room with him, till i saw one hell chat from the small boy, that he should try and shave his Penis. That one really got me Mad, I have to pursue that one. I can say he is no longer in the picture again, but am still not convinced because he like keeping to himself.
I know he is an Introvert to the extreme, but he don't behave like a real Alpha Male, I have to force him in even sharing same Bed with me, am really disturbed now because am really tired of this.
There was a time I had to Involve his family I noticed that his immediate elder bro knew about it, that was when I sent that particular guy away, I have been hoping he will change am not sure of that..
Please help me.
Have a talk with him, whether bisexual or homosexual, just know you cannot change him. He may love you very much, but when a non hetro man loves you, it's more for emotional reasons than sexual. If he is really a pedophile, just leave him, but if he is not, try to see if you can compromise in any way, or just separate, divorce should be a last resort.
judetov2: After reading this post I felt like crying...I am sorry to say but that man is a complete GAY. From what u said I believe u are so "hot" yet he is never moved....I can mention more than 10,000 signs of a gay....I hate them so much. .....pls dnt allow ur male child to stay with him even as he is the Father... I will pray for u...u have a beautiful heart.
See story, you think being gay makes you a pedophile? Many men are gay and responsible father's, let the woman talk with the man. Sexual orientation can be suppressed but can never be changed.
Good day to you all. Please I need advise on the current NDLEA recruitment exercise. I am in desperate need of a job. Even a small job to be able to cater for personal needs, while making better plans for myself. I am a Law graduate living in Kaduna State. I just applied for the NDLEA Narcotic Officer position, which is for graduates, but I read one of the instructions which states that candidates applying as doctors or lawyers must attach their professional certificate, which is in my case the call to Bar Certificate issued at the completion of the law school Program. I am yet to attend the Nigerian Law School.
Is it advisable for me to also apply for the assistant Narcotic officer position for Secondary school graduates, which is way below my preference? Will the double registration jeopardise my chances of being successful in anyone of the applications?
Biety: My take aways from this long article are: Most of the people that helped Ojukwu were Yorubas.
Ojukwu actually disguised to escape. Infact he went into hiding and had to be helped by good samarithans. Before now I used to think people were just saying it to taunt him.
Another one is that Ojukwu' son still trembles whenever he sees lightning or hears thunder blast because of the experience he had about 50yrs ago during the war. The sumary is that war is never an option to disagrement s. Dialogue is the best option. We should learn from the past to avoid repeating foolish mistakes.
rem44: According to Adamu,Igbo leaders met with Ango Abdullahi in Zaria.Could this be related to the quit notice given to Igbos by Arewa Youths?He wrote
'Happening now! Igbo leaders from Southeast in company of Major Hamza Almustapha visit Prof. Ango Abdullahi in Zaria.
emerged01: Which agenda do u want Yoruba to push? South needs to be united for once to get things done right or do you expect Yoruba to say Igbo should vacate southwest? Do you know how that will sound? Oga think o! Even the threat of north is nothing when it comes to Yoruba telling Igbo to go. I know a lot of igbos that has forgotten that they are igbos in west and their children don even forget say their parent na Igbo.
Don't normally comment on thread like this because on a thread like this we have many silly ones wey be say na their mama still dey buy cloth for them.
I am ashamed of this Igbo and Yoruba nonsense; southerners dont kill themselves; they should unite
malware: You have lived in a volatile Kaduna state where there is religious intolerance by both Muslims and Christians living there. Tell me one other Northern state that you've been to and tell me what are their inadequacies.
Northerners cannot own big businesses in the south and sleep in peace same way Southerners, Igbos in particular do in the North.
If this thing you're preaching should be true, then no sane southerner would remain in the North.
If you have any northerner as friend right now, tell me how he relates with you, be sincere and tell the truth, wailer.
northerners own 90% of oil wells, they own big businesses down south too.
bkool7: people shouting here are those that have never been to or lived in the north before . I have been to kano , zamfara , zaira , kaduna , katsina. and funtua. I lived about 3 years in katsina town and Funtua . Funtua reminds me of ibadan and osogbo . its filled with people from the south of Nigeria . I once entered a street in Funtua and I thought I was in osogbo because of the nature of the environment and the people . Few Northeners are hostile to southerners and when you recalled that the northern elites are enemies of the northern majority , everything becomes clear
Everyone that counts in the north have waved aside this unholy threat . We should just regard those youths as enemies of the north and nigeria All i will say is Nigeria belongs to all of us , and there's no region that doesn't have something to contribute so some of us should stop acting like we are more important . Lets respect out diversity
forget that story; when you see these muslim northerners killing people your narrative will change. I was born and still live in kaduna. You are safe if you live in a place dominated by the minority tribes and southerners.
9jaflave: I’m Bukola Ayinde, Founder of P4:13 Foundation and author of Diary of a Special Needs Mum.
Getting a diagnosis which says your child has Cerebral Palsy is a parent’s worst nightmare. I had my period of living in denial; wishing the problem would go away, like it was all a dream, but the reality stared me in the face.
My husband and I decided to face the challenge before us squarely.
We engaged different specialists; Neurologist, Paediatrician, Physiotherapist, Speech therapist, Occupational therapist, Special Needs Care Givers. At one point we were scouting for a very good physiotherapist.
A parent of a special needs child recommended a young lady to me. I mentioned her name {Bisola Anthonia Abayomi Ojo} to one of my daughter’s therapist who confirmed that the lady was very good at her job. However, she also confirmed that the lady could be arrogant. I spoke with another therapist on the field who also confirmed that the recommended Physiotherapist was good at what she does but she could be rude.
Well, at that point of my life, I didn’t mind if she was going to be rude to me or arrogant as far as she was as good as everyone had said, I was fine with that. All I wanted was to see was my child’s improvement, I could take any sh*t in between.
She came on board as my daughter’s physiotherapist. She was very professional and dedicated, but she didn’t come cheap. She didn’t come cheap at all. My daughter attended a mainstream school that allowed her to use the sickbay as her pullout room for her physiotherapy session.
In June 2016, my daughter’s school proprietress requested that my husband and I should make out time to see her. When we eventually did a week later, she told us that the physiotherapist had manhandled our daughter and she was going to show us a CCTV recording to prove it.
At the back of my mind I felt the woman was exaggerating because therapy could be demanding at times. My child may cry, if she didn’t like the exercise or if the exercise was tasking. However, when I watched the video, I was shocked beyond words that someone I trusted with my daughter could treat her worse than an animal. I believe that even an animal shouldn’t be treated that way.
I mean, she came highly recommended; she is a Masters degree holder. She is not an illiterate. Apparently she didn’t remember that there was a CCTV in the room or she felt nobody would be checking the TV at that particular time.
It was heartbreaking to see my daughter treated by a health worker in such a barbaric act. I watched my daughter as she fell down several times hitting her head on the tiles. There were times she hit her head on the edge of the wooden bed before falling to the ground.
Her Physiotherapist slapped her three times; the third time with her cell phone. She left her head hanging upside for 5 minutes. She twisted my daughter’s hands several times; at a point she sat on her hands, at another point she tied her hands behind her head. I watched as my daughter fell from her chair while her neck was stuck in between the space at the vertical back rest and the flat wood used for sitting down. I watched on as this lady typed on her phone 90% of the time only taking some time off to torture my daughter. Did I mention that she took out time to take her selfie? Up to five times.
After we watched the recording, my husband could not control his tears. My heart bled. My daughter’s Neurologist said we cannot ascertain the level of damage to her brain because we did not bring her immediately it happened. He said an MRI would have been done to ascertain any damage. I got her arrested. She said she was sorry She claimed depression and ill health I didn’t believe her then, I don’t believe her now.
I had to make a decision, to leave my daughter in the hands of her nannies at home (which may be another source of abuse) and follow through to ensure the physiotherapist was duly punished. (Bearing in mind the justice system in Nigeria) or drop the charges lodged at the police station and allow Medical Rehabilitation Therapists Board at Yaba to handle the matter.
I dropped the police charges. I decided to stay with my traumatized daughter. I handed the Physiotherapist over to the Registrar at Medical Rehabilitation Therapists Board at Yaba.
Her punishment: • Three months withdrawal of her practicing license. • Three months work in a general hospital under supervision without pay • She was to undergo a psychiatric test Like seriously? Are you kidding me? She had been practicing for a year without renewing her license and all you could do was to withdraw her license officially for a mere three months?
She went back to the Registrar at Medical Rehabilitation Therapists to ask for permission to travel to USA to get treatment.
I called to check on the case, and I was told she had travelled for treatment I was told not to worry as she cannot practice anywhere else in the world without a letter from the board. Some months later, I was told by a reliable source that she was not taking any major treatments but attending a Masters programme in US.
So she got away with child abuse, assault, battery, in fact attempted murder. This is only possible in Nigeria right?
I went back to Medical Rehabilitation Center, I was shocked to find out that the case had gone cold. What stops her from coming back into the country and working with other children? How many Nigerians ask for practicing license before employing a professional?
I strongly believe that the least the board should have done was to declare her unfit to work with children. In respect to my daughter, the signs were there: She had been withdrawn for a while in fact she had stop smiling, interacting with anybody in the house or attempting to answer questions in school. I kept asking the care giver that followed her to school about the sudden change. The caregiver said she had no idea. I came up with my own theory and I brushed it aside.
How would I have known that a health worker, someone I trusted with my child could be so cruel? The Physiotherapist had been with us for over two years. I can only imagine….
Well, I pulled my daughter out of school and started her own mini school at home. I let go of my current caregivers for good reasons and got new ones. With care and love, she added weight, came out of her shell and got better. Right now she attends a school three times a week and we are making progress.
Child abuse is real…from the people you least expect. Protect your children.
