A Nigerian lady who studied law at the University of Ibadan has shared her experience at the Nigerian Law School, revealing how her dream of earning a first-class degree took an unexpected turn.
Background of the Graduate
Precious Chelsea Aliu, a law graduate from the University of Ibadan, had hoped to achieve a first-class degree at the Nigerian Law School after graduating with a second-class upper from the university. She shared her story on LinkedIn, detailing the challenges she faced and the lessons she learned.
Law School Experience
Aliu recounted her struggles with certain courses, particularly corporate law, which she feared the most. Despite her determination, the journey was fraught with exhaustion, tears, and personal losses. She pushed herself through intense schedules involving classes, group meetings, and study sessions.
During the exams, the multiple-choice questions left her shaken, but corporate law surprisingly became a highlight. However, Property Law Practice proved to be a major setback due to a costly mistake. Civil Litigation further dashed her hopes of a first class, leading her to pray simply not to fail.
Results and Reflection
When the Bar Finals results were released on April 17, 2026, Aliu learned she had earned a second-class lower degree, not the first class she had dreamed of. She admitted that it took two weeks to come to terms with the outcome, but she is learning to accept it and grow from the experience.
