LILY OF NIGERIA

Hi everybody, welcome to this weeks post! You can check out last week's post if you missed it here . This week, one of my favorite writers (I promise I'm not fanning out) Chukwuemeka is contributing. I met him while I was a university student. Emeka reminds me of Chimamanda and Achebe . He writes with such finesse, and his talent is hard to miss. I hope you enjoy what school was like for him.

By the dates on the calendar, we were to start our bar final exams on the 28th of August and end on the 1st of September, 2017. My study calendar had factored in those days. I was prepared to be do

Hey guys! How are you doing? What'your week looking like? Personally, I can finally tick " Visit Ibadan " off my buck list. In last weeks post  here  my former roommate Chidera discussed some of her experiences as a student of the Nigerian Law school.  This week she shares her experience with her law school roommates, her study pattern, fellowship and so on. Continued from last week. ... it became very necessary. We had been pre-forwarded our task for the day. After the morning session of lectures, we went on a break and came back for the afternoon session to solve the task. This session was handled by Mr Kanu, a very brilliant lecturer who added humor to his teaching. Each group came out to present and answer questions. How this process went varied. If Mr Kanu was the one asking questions, then you had to be ready to give your 100 because his questions were brain twisting. This was basically the routine for the 17 weeks of lectures.  Tuesday was for civil litig
