Academic brilliance and professional sagacity is not the same thing.

He might know the books but may not have agrima to rep in the court.

Best, he'll sit in an office as a legal counsel, drafting legal documents.

SeeWahala:
I pray he find befitting work. The current 4.5 and above still dey take 'charge and bail' dey see front

Sucre6:
The day he was called to bar, he had more than 10 offers from prestigious companies and law firms, salary in 6 zeros, your prayer should be let him make the right choice is takin any of these offers

DeepSight:
Wide open, true. But success as he goes along his career will be determined more by his personality and not the ability to read books and replicate perfect answers to questions.

TheATM:
Two of his photos here showed that the guy is Chelsea Cole Palmer.

DeepSight:
A 1st class does not necessarily mean the holder is an intellectual paragon. It very often means he is introverted and extremely studious, detailed and careful.

Hismercy234:
You think this automatically makes him a good lawyer? All it requires to get this is focus and hard work. The real content is in the field. He might be a terrible lawyer on the field. You may graduate with a 3rd class and be one of the best lawyers.

Juliearth:
What does intelligence mean to you? I'm certain your answer may circumnavigate around learning and applying one's knowledge.

Apparently, you think bagging a cgpa of 5.0 in the Nigerian law school is a walk in the park. It takes far morethan being introverted, studious, and all those qualities you cited. Being a critical thinker, a problem solver, creative, an avid listener and analytical is more like it and these don't even cut it entirely. Now, can one be all of these things and not be considered intelligent?

Achieving a perfect CGPA in the Nigerian Law School requires more than just being introverted and studious. It demands a deep understanding of complex legal concepts, analytical thinking, and the ability to apply knowledge in practical contexts. Just about anybody can read/cram to pass exams, but only an intelligent person can make a total delivery of practical-based courses in civil litigation, corporate laws, ethics and profession, property law and so on and deliver a perfect cgpa of 5.0.

Give the youngster his flowers!

DeepSight:
I dont deny all this. I am just pointing out that a very studious person of average intelligence can bag it. I am no stranger to law my dear. I am a lawyer 23 years at the bar and in my set I was close friends with some "first class" students, okay? I understand perfectly well what Iam saying.

Conversely I also know some genuiuses who simply didnt give a hoot about their studies and barely scraped a pass. And their ingenuity still remained - and showed in life.

HeartlandNews:
Dude would be bagging for offers here and there.
