Mass Failure In Nigerian Law School by Nobody: 5:44am On Oct 19, 2014
The Nigerian Law School recently released the 2013/2014 August result, and about 4,000 students were said to have failed the examination which is a prerequisite for them to be called to Bar.

The students who paid over N300, 000 for the one year programme are angry and frustrated, blaming the their failure on the Director General of Nigerian Law School, Olarenwaju Adesola Onadeko, PM News reports.

They claimed that Onadeko wants to destroy their career by failing them en masse and they have called for a review of the examination as well as their results.

In their reaction, some of the students said: “Save Law School Students: The DG Olarenwaju Onadeko has come to destroy the future of over 70 per cent of students who wrote exams in August and has run to the United Kingdom to seek solace.

“#Please save the future of 5000 law school student, so that the results may be reviewed because some lecturers are in support of this movement as they know the DG asked for a lot of scripts to be marked down. Please this is the least you can do.

“The mass failure at the Nigerian Law School is an insult to the legal system. Kindly help address this issue by calling the attention of authorities that matters; while another simply read: “#Please save the future of 5000 law school students”.

“We the law students of Nigerian Law School protest the poor handling and marking of our Bar 2 final exam. Please we need the media to come to our aid,” an email read.

“The Nigerian Law School released the 2013/2014 August result. It was a Tsunami! Out of 6000 candidates who registered, about #2172 passed. We are talking of about #4000 students who failed”.

The Board of Studies of the Council of Legal Education has directed that henceforth, re-sit candidates are to attend at least eight weeks compulsory revision classes at the Nigerian Law School.

This is in view of the poor performance of re-sit candidates at the August 2014 examinations.

According to the press release signed by the Head, Public Relation of the Nigerian Law School, Mr Chinedu Ukekwe, no re-sit candidate shall be allowed at the bar final examinations until he or she has undergone the stipulated revision classes.

The release also gave a break down of the performance of the Law School candidates for the August bar final exam.

A total number of 5,841 regular candidates took the exam out of which four had a first class honours, while 96 candidates had 2nd class upper division and 620 had 2nd class lower division.

However, a total of 2,610 passed while 501 had conditional pass and 1,932 failed the exam.

The release also indicated that a total of 1,335 re-sit candidates sat for the exam while 88 passed, 26 had a conditional pass and 1,168 failed.

The Law School authorities said that anyone who is not satisfied with the result can call for a review in line with the extant laws of the school.

you truly believe that? how many law schools are in Nigeria and what is the capacity of each one? if everyone passed the exam do you really think all the law schools would have the capacity to accommodate them?
the law board passes a certain percentage of applicant for each exam irrespective of the number that applied for it. check last year's pass rate.

Edit: I don't believe that the educational system in law schools are deteriorating. a graph is drawn of the total exam score and a certain percentage is taken as the cut off Mark. you might have passed the exam but if your score is below that Mark, you don't pass.
however, considering the cost of the exam, setting such high standards could be harmful.

What do you expect in a failed Nigeria education system?

This is just a clear picture of our Legal system.... Their 'senior colleagues' discharged and acquitted Ibori of corrruption only to be charged and jailed abroad with a minor offence.

They should take heart...Mass failure is a Nigerian Brand. It's our culture; they should get use to it as we have gotten used to other mass failures like Buhari, Police, NEPA, MTN, ACN...God giveth, God taketh.

our educational system is on a downward spiral, until and unless values are reallocated, it is definitely going to get worse and possibly get to the point we make first class and not even know the subject matter of our discipline. A lot of us choose vocations we don't have any business with just because of the "prestige" attached to it. I thank God for my elder brother who opened my eyes to some of these things. Maybe I for follow write the said exam.

Re: Mass Failure In Nigerian Law School by Nobody: 9:21am On Oct 21, 2014
The problem is the fact that in an oil rich society....people read to pass exams,not to understand and to innovate.

Basically, our education system produces people who have no experience of reading to learn....or even learning to read. They just cram and cram and cram....

Nigeria!

P.S....For a sure fire , guaranteed way to read and pass your exams....WITHOUT EXPO .....try the SQ3R method...Survey, Question, Read, Recite , Revise!

University Of Brunel Paper on the method

SQ3R...What is it.
