The Centre for Human Rights, University of Pretoria, UP, says Romola Adeola is its youngest doctoral graduate. In a statement on its website, the centre said: “Romola Adeola, 26, has set a record in being the youngest person to obtain a Doctor of Laws degree (LLD) in the 30-year history of the Centre for Human Rights.

Furthermore, she is only the 2nd youngest person to achieve this in the Faculty of Law, UP, since its establishment 107 years ago. She distinguished herself by completing the LLD in under 3 years. During her undergraduate years at Lagos State University (LASU), she was the Best Student in International Law.

Romola’s relationship with the Centre for Human Rights began from her participation in the 2008 African Human Rights Moot Court Competition. In 2012, she was selected as a DAAD scholar to study for the LLM/MPhil degree in Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa.

She graduated cum laude, earning two awards: the Kéba M’Baye award for the overall Best Dissertation and the Victor Dankwa prize for the Best Performance in the module: Human Rights in Africa. Her excellent record earned her admission to the Centre’s doctoral programme in 2013.

In her PhD thesis, she analyzed the obligation in article 10 of the African Union Convention in relation to the Protection and Assistance of Internally Displaced Persons in Africa. She has given interviews, presented papers at international conferences and been the voice of the Centre on issues of internally displaced persons, migrants and refugees. .

During her time here, she led the Disability Rights Clinic and served as Alumni Coordinator. In this latter capacity, she led a campaign calling for the release of prominent Swazi human rights activist – Thulani Maseko, and raised funding to support his family.

She attributes her success to her supportive parents, personal discipline, perseverance and prayer. In her words, ‘be faithful to God, be true to yourself and be of service to humanity.’ She also holds two diplomas from Åbo Akademi University.”

I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU ARE LIVING IN SELF DENIAL, IMAGINE FOR OVER 8 YEARS, WE'VE BEEN TOPPING IN WASSCE, NECO AND JAMB YET IS A BIG JOKE FOR YOU.

Philistine:
bros, go and sit down. those singapore and croatia competitons were debate competitions, their teachers can easily prep them up for it. Go and check the past winners of cowbell maths quiz, where yorubas dominate, they are for brainy and intelligent pupils and not all these cram-cram debate activities.

ARE YOU SICK? COWBELL QUIZ IS NOW COMPARED TO INTERNATIONAL DEBATE... KWARA UNITED IS NOW BETTER THAN BARCALONA

Philistine:
debate! u no get shame o! we are talking of brain tasking competitions u are talking of debate! smh!

PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE REFERED AS TROUBLED SOUL.
WINNING THE "WORLD DEBATE" IS NO ACHIEVEMENT, PLEASE WHAT INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION HAVE ANY WESTERN STATE WON IN THE PAST FIVE YEARS?

fulanimafia:
There is no such thing as even distribution of wealth, do your research.

Beat your chest till it's sore, it does not change the facts that Dangote is wealthier than the top 10 ibo businessmen combined, and that Northerners (whether in business or politics) form the wealthiest band of Nigerians in this country.

Not that it matters to any illuminated mind.

CAN DANGOTE'S TAX SUSTAIN TAX A STATE?

LOOK AS AT THE TIME WHEN EL-RUFIL AS FGT MINISTER HE DID SAY THAT 63% OF THE PROPERTY WERE OWNED BY THE IGBOS, WHY NOT DANGOTE? THEY PAY LAND-USE-CHARGE AND INCOME TAX, NO DEVELOPED ECONOMY IS DEPENDENT ONE COMPANY.

Philistine:
do u know what u are saying at all. the best states in exam malpractices are the ones toping the table, if igbos are really that good, they should prove it in cowbell maths competition and other professional exams that have not been compromised.

BROTHER ANAMBRA WON THE BEST DEBATE STATE, LAST YEAR AND FINALLY REPRESENTED NIGERIA, CAME BACK THIRD IN THE WORLD.

LAST YEAR THEY WON IN NIGERIA, REPRESENTED NIGERIA, THIS TIME THEY WON THE TROPHY

aribisala0:
Ibos are very good at buying and selling specific things but that is a very small part of business. Running a poultry is business and to the best of my knowledge day old chicks are not being produced in the entire SE(I stand to be corrected) You always hear Ibos boast about how big Onitsha market is which reveals their mindset about what business is.

Is Nairaland a business? Yes
Does it involve shops and containers? No
But the Ibo man's mind set about business is big markets , lots of containers and LOTS of cash . They will tell you of huge volumes of cash being moved up and down

The number one business in Nigeria today is telecomm. Everyday people buy recharge cards and the companies do not have to beg anyone. Are they Ibo run ? NO!!!
Are there containers involved? No

We see trailers on the road daily moving vegetables and petrol up and down the country and no one can say this is dominated by Ibos
What about Abokis killing people who mess with their cows? Do we think they are doing business or just having fun?
Abokis selling Dollars nko are they having a picnic?
The truth is all Nigerians do business and different groups have acumen for different things. By far the largest part of our Economy is Agriculture,Telecomms ,oil and gas ,Banking and finance and then manufacturing

NOT in ANY ONE of these can Ibos be said to be dominant. NOT ONE. In Agriculture in particular ,the biggest segment of our economy, What do Ibos produce? That Nigerians buy daily ? Is it Garri, Tomatoes,Onions or Pineapples oranges cashews palm oil eggs ,chicken or fish.

Ibo people should stop making noise. The truth is if we were to ethnicize things then the biggest businessmen in Nigeria are the North and SW not Ibos

The Ibos are best at trading which is the lower end of business.

At the high end they will continue making noise about INNOSON but when you probe deeper it is empty

We are waiting for the Ibo Nairaland

Those who produce and sell foodstuff in Nigeria they are the real businessmen and they do so without Noise.

WHICH MARKET IN LAGOS DO YORUBAS HAVE DOMINANCE?
YOU SAID WE ARE TRADERS, HERE IS THE LATEST REPORT ON EDUCATION

WE ARE LEADING BOTH IN NECO AND JAMB TOO... SO WHY THE NOISE?

SonOfEl:
I laugh at your naivety. Your link is long stale and does not even prove a thing. Go to all african cities (including nigeria)and see who dominates or competes favorably in trade and investment.

Go to India, US, China, Japan, Germany, etc and see the major Africans running the show economically there.

You people believe igbos will suffer if we breakaway violently because our huge investments are scattered ALL OVER the federation...

Am working and I really don't have time to link some facts here. Seriously, there is nothing to prove.

Substandard Ko..... Ministandard ni... Real estate in Lagos , abuja and pH, which non indigenes owns most of it? Even in other states, who competes with themselves and other indigenes in the business? Yeye ...

Nollywood, sports, etc who stands tallest? Who owns HOME GROWN industries like emzor, juhel, finlab, slok, slot, fidelity, zenith, Diamond, golden guinea brewies, novena majestry furnitures, zinox, etc?

LET ME HELP YOUR CLAIM...

fulanimafia:
I imagine we would not hear a word if the richest and most successful business man in Africa, Aliko Dangote, was Ibo.

HAVING ONE RICHEST MAN IS NOT THE SAME AS EVEN DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH WHICH IS GOOD FOR ANY COUNTRY.

THE GDP OF AN AVERAGE HAUSA MAN MAY BE $300 PER PERSON
WHILE THAT OF IGBOS MAY BE AS MUCH AS $3000 PER PERSON.

GOD BLESS IGBOLAND... WE ARE THE PACE SETTERS.

mrphysics:
The presidency is very correct. it is crystal clear, visible to the blind, audible to the deaf. For the last 16 years, we failed to diversify our economy.


thank God for this administration. Let's empower agriculture and technology.

YOU ARE NOT A FANATIC, BUT A BLIND ONE.
APC 2016 BUDGET, GAVE INFORMATION N39 BILLION, ASO ROCK ABOVE THAT, BUT N29 BILLION TO AGRICULTURE, PLEASE EXPLAIN THE CHANGE YOU PREACH.

Adminisher:
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
The SS us not resistant to change. They are worried about northern domination and bitter that their son lost the elections. I have been to Yenagoa twice this year and lived in Nigeria Delta for more than twenty years. All of them know Goodluck is a sorry excuse of a hunan being to have had as president but if it were possible for Goodluck to contest again they would give him 100% support. It is a funny psychology but I think they are honorable people and they say the truth about the ills of the Jonathan regime. Ijaw people don't tell lies easily.

It is however the SE that has destroyed it's politics with over identification with the clueless, cortupt Goodluck Jonathan presidency. They are completely blind to truth and cannot seem divorce their tribal ideology from their political / business aspirations. The region is now wearing the toga of defenders of corruption unfairly even though culturally they are supposed to be the most hardworking, fair minded of all tribes . I think the problem is Goodluck Jonathan himself and the sympathy that the corrupt simpleton of a joker is generating in the kinds of the youths. This is now being deliberately exploited by older and more experienced politicians in their west for relevance.

DID YOU SAY SOUTH EAST? WHICH COUNTRY PRACTICES OUR TYPE OF DEMOCRACY, WHERE STATES DEPEND ON FEDERAL 90%? AM SORRY IF YOU CAN'T SEE. HOW CAN WE MOVE FORWARD WHEN THE APC STATES FUNDED BUHARI AND RESULTED TO THEIR FINANCIAL INSOLVENCY, WHY NOT PROBE THOSE GOVERNORS TOO.

THE EAST ARE NOT AGAINST FIGHTING CORRUPTION, IBB, ATIKU, ABUSALAM, OBJ, TY DANJUMA, ABACHA ARE WALKING FREE AND YOU ARE VICTIMIZING JONATHAN.
WHERE IS $36 BILLION DOLLARS OBASANJO SAID HE INVESTED ON POWER SECTOR, AND WE ARE BUSY CHASING $2.1.
SELECTIVE JUSTICS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED.

COMPANIES ARE LAYING OFF, NAIRA LOSING VALUE AND OUR PRESIDENT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE TROUBLED. A GOVERNMENT THAT GAVE N29 BILLION TO AGRIC, AND N39 BILLION TO INFORMATION WHAT SORT OF CHANGE IS THAT?

Abagworo:
Ikpeazu has won the heart of Aba people. His welcome seems the highest jubilation so far. I hope they will equally accept if he decides to decamp to APC.

Which APC? We don't want our state to start owing salaries, thanks

PenSniper:
Cain, its gone beyond a shouting match. You may keep on swimming in delusional grandeur, that's your business. But like your progenitor, Cain, you are going to be banished by subtilty or by force, whichever circumstances or expediency makes necessary.

Keep praying... hahahaha

PenSniper:
Crying, weeping and sorrow belong to fools who think they are clever by half, whatever you mean by "mobbing-up".
A time will come when some would want to hastily sell property even at give-away prices but will find no buyers.
Governments reserve the right to revoke even CoOs if it gets to that but that won't be necessary. A war of attrition between the brawn and the brain has been unleached.
Everywhere all over the world, illegal immigrants always live to regret their morbid acquisition. Those who fail to learn from history live repeat its sordid part.

Esau stop praying dreams to live, after saying selling your birth right you now want it,right?

If you are familiar with history, you would know what led Zimbabwe to their present state.
As long as we are together in your so called One-Nigeria, we will mob-up your properties.

PenSniper:
Inch by inch and by superior wisdom, Lagos will be rid of irritating illegal immigrants.

WHERE WAS THE SUPERIOR WISDOM WHEN THE IGBOS STARTING MOBBING-UP LAGOS PROPERTY?

Nellybank:
I am an APC executive in my LGA but i am so much disappointed in this old man. So you really wanted the oil-rich-states so that you will continue from were pdp stopped. Hmmm... This country must be free one day from the hands of this rogues called polithievecians

YOU ARE A RARE GEM

Bluffly:
Research and look for what works for you. Since independence you have been copying copying towards achieving what? Abegi. Did China copied anyone, did Brazil copied anyone, Did Syngapore copied anyone. In our own uniqueness, we will get it right

DID YOU SAY WE'VE BEEN COPYING? WHICH OTHER NATION HAS IT'S STATES DEPEND ON FEDERAL ALLOCATION? PLEASE GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT, STATE AUTONOMY MAKES THE STATES THRIVE, WHERE IS CONFAB REPORT? WHEN I SAY APC DOESN'T HAVE ANY ECONOMIC BLUE PRINT, THERE ARE LOTS OF PROVES.

Bluffly:
See, all companies in Nigeria has never been living on values. Banks have been feeding on government money. Most private companies have been feeding off government money. You are quick to use Obama as an example forgetting that a system exists there. What system do you have here in Nigeria? Companies will surely layoff because everyone has been doing the wrong thing and in straightening things up, there will surely be hard times.

IS IT FORBIDDEN TO COPY AMERICAN POLICIES, LAZY POLITICIANS.

SO WHERE ARE THE POLICIES THAT WILL TURN THINGS AROUND, WHEN I WAS TALKING ABOUT ECONOMIC TEMPLATE YOU WERE SHOUTING, DID YOU SAY FIGHTING CORRUPTION IS A CAPITAL PROJECT?

Bluffly:
Do no forget that fighting corruption is now a capital project. Since you have been seeing economic template what effect has it had. Nigeria is fond of jumpin the scale at everything. If it is to take a thousand steps backward to start redressing, so let it be.

OBAMA TOOK AMERICAN DURING RECESSION, HE SIMPLY MAPPED OUT STRATEGIES TO ENHANCE US, AND CREAT EMPLOYMENT, TODAY HE CAN BOOST OF 200,000 OPPORUNITIES EVERY MONTH.
COMPANIES ARE LAYING OFF AND YOU ARE LAUGHING BECAUSE YOU ARE STILL EATING.

I'VE NOT SEEN ANY APC ECONOMIC TEMPLATE , EVERYTIME CHASING ONE RAT OR MOUSE. MEDIA TRIAL IS JUST THE BEST WAY TO FOOL APC FANATICS,
FG- "YOU MUST PAY $5.2 BILLION DOLLARS"
MTN- "COME AND TAKE IT".

Friday Olokor, Abuja
A civil rights organisation, Global Centre for Conscious Living Against Corruption, has called on the Islamic Movement of Nigeria to apologise to the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Yusuf Buratai, over an assassination attempt on his life by the sect on December 12, 2015 in Zaria, Kaduna State.
The organisation also appealed to the Federal Government to consider the use of half-hijab by Muslim women instead of outright ban in the interest of fairness.
The National Coordinator of GCCLAC, Dr. Gabriel Nwambu, and Women Leader, Hajia Maina Abubakar, made the demands during a press briefing on Wednesday in Abuja.

According to them, the coalition deemed it fit to embark on an independent verification and fact-finding mission to unravel the remote and immediate cause or causes of the clash as well as verifying the facts following accusations and counter-accusations by the two parties involved.

Nwambu stated that independent investigations revealed that the loss of lives could have been averted had all efforts to resolve the issue amicably not been resisted by the Shi’ites group.

While acknowledging that the clash led to loss of lives, he insisted that the number of those that died was exaggerated by Shi’ite sympathisers.

Nwambu said the right of Buratai, being a symbol of the Nigerian Army was grossly violated, adding that “an attempt to assassinate him was also made because he was ambushed.”

Nwanbu said, “We want Nigerians to get this fact very clear; based on our findings, the fact that somebody is a military personnel or an officer does not insulate him or prevent him from enjoying the fundamental human rights as entrenched in the constitution.

“We are saying he narrowly escaped death, and for those who have gone biased to say that there was nothing bad, that the army was busy killing people, it is important to note that the Sergeant in the US Marine in Wowood was murdered with just a knife. So, dangerous weapons of all sorts by the mob constitute a major threat to life.”

AM ASHAME OF THE WRITER AND THE PUBLISHING HOUSE. HOW CAN YOU JUSTIFY KILLING OF 700 LIVES ON PROVOCATION OR ATTEMPTED MURDER CASE, WHAT'S THE POLICE DOING THEN? IF 700 OR MORE PEOPLE WERE ARMED, HOW COME THE ARMY DIDN'T RECORD CASUALTIES, BUT ASSULT?

THEY TREAT CIVILIANS WITHOUT RESPECT, WHILE THEY ARE SHOE SHINERS TO POLITICIANS.

APC shame!!! So Joe started it?

TonyeBarcanista:
And how is that your business @OP? Are we complaining to you?

I IMAGINE HOW HURRIBLE YOU THINK OF LIFE, RUNNING FROM ONE POST TO THE OTHER ON NAIRALAND.
AM SORRY TO SAY THIS, YOU ARE A TROUBLED SOUL.

LadyExcellency:
When you sell your inheritance, it ceases to be yours.

In Nigeria, there is nothing like tribal land. What we have are individual land, sacred land, communal land and state land hence there is nothing like Yoruba land according to Nigerian constitution.

YOU HAVE A POINT.
