I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported this blog in one way or the other. I have really and truly missed blogging. What do you think about the new blog theme? I worked on it yesterday night and included all my social media accounts so you know where to find me. Also, I have included my other platforms such as Spotify(even though I have my reservations, I am trying out podcasting), and most of you already know about my YouTube channel but I have included links here on the blog so there is no excuse as to you not knowing where to find me. My Instagram account is still very much under lock and key for obvious reasons (knock and it shall be opened to you, just mention you're from the blog).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I read through some old blog posts while working on the blog theme yesterday and I was nostalgic. Some of those posts were written when I was an undergraduate student in Nigeria, how time flies. Pardon me if I do not use my pictures as much, but the content is still very much written by me. I am stirring the blog as a User Generated Content blog/platform which in all honesty is what most of us bloggers were doing here, the internet finally has a name for it. Also, the comments have been opened once again! I CANNOT wait to reply to you, so see you there! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">You are loved and appreciated.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<span face=""><b>Quote of the Day: </b><i>Be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, make haste thee to help me</i>.-Psalm 22:19.</span><br />
<span face=""><br /></span>
<span face="">Today I am taking you on a step by step guide on how to make a successful video call or online interview based on my own personal experience. <b>Disclaimer</b>: I am not a <i>video call interview </i>expert, but I am a HR professional. As schools and most offices are gradually reopening, more firms are recruiting. Some people are new to the world of video call interviews, and I created this step by step guide post to help them be less anxious about their online/video call interview. </span><br />
<span face=""><br /></span><span face="">You are probably here because you scaled through the first round and secured yourself an interview. Congratulations! </span><br />
<span face=""><br /></span>
<span face=""><br /></span>
<span face=""><b>Evaluate</b>: Your strengths and weaknesses, go through you personal statement, and the job description in order to mentally prepare yourself. Remember, y<i>ou gat this</i>! Also, go through the firm's website, and have at least three questions you want to ask your panel at the end of the interview (don't be like me who last year lost out on a job I poured my energy into because I was too excited at the end of the interview and forgot to ask the panel a question).</span><br />
<span face=""><br /></span>
<span face=""><br /></span>
<span face=""><b>What to Wear</b>: it is not news that the world we live in judges a book by its cover. That initial first impression based on your outift is key. Although, what you wear can also honestly depend on the role you have applied for. Something I'll tell you for free is to look professional, like you actually made the effort to prepare for the panel or board interviewing you. </span><br />
<span face=""><br /></span>
<span face="">A well ironed crisp white shirt and a blazer</span><br />
<br />
<span face="">A covered up dress (again depending on the role you applied for, we are not turning up, we are securing the bag that will avail us the opportunity to turn up).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face=""><br /></font></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><font face="">Official top and a skirt or lounge wear/pyjama bottoms (depending on how you position your camera đ).<br /></font>
<br />
<br />
<b>Hair</b>: I always find that securing your hair together at the back, in a bun, or ponytail away from your face is always great because it enables you make eye contact with the panel.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Bonus tip</i>: look at the lens of your camera and not the screen.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Makeup</b>: I suggest you go for a soft glam, barely there look. Depending on the role you applied for, your makeup should not be over the top. If you need inspiration I highly suggest this video (<b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5rIm8lbomM" target="_blank">here</a></b>).<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Just before your interview</b>: Breathe in and out. And try to practice mindfulness to prevent you from panicing or having an episode of anxiety. Remember, you scaled through the first round, babe you have potential. I find secretly nibbling on a quarter piece of mint helpful. Also, use the loo and empty your bowel beforehand so that you are not distracted by the pressing call of nature when the video call interview starts.<br />
<br />
<br />I wish you the absolute best. Don't forget to smile!<br />

Hi guys! Sometime ago I went to Lidl for some shopping and bought some summer inspired flats. I did a Lidl Haul video on my channel as well. Both of the flats I am reviewing are from a brand called Esmara. I really like the fact that Lidl carries this Esmara brand because they put in research and effort into feet health. Each product is uniquely researched and made to fit international health standards. Your feet will be glad đ</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br></div>

I stopped by Superdrug on my way home to get this shampoo. What attracted me to it was the man of the brand (no shame here). From my research and evidence on my friends hair, Herbal Essences has proved to be a very good brand for hair care. I went with this particular one because:</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">1. Aloe Vera is GOOD for my hair.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">2. Indian hemp is great for my hair (wish I could say the same for coconut oil/coconut products đ). The hair grease I use is 80% Indian hemp aka marijuana, and boy does my hair love it! By the grace of God it has done pleasantly astonishing wonders on my hair.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I will update y'all on this product when it finishes.<br>

As promised in my YouTube video, I have reviewed some bras I got from Marks and Spencer aka <a href="http://www.marksandspencer.com/" target="_blank">M&S</a>. I've found that at my local M&S store most of the staff there are very welcoming to me. If you're reading, <i>hi Saima</i>! In today's bra review blog post, my houseplant <i>Oliver </i>makes a cameo as a prop for the bra flatlays.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The camera did not pick the second colour of this bra set well. The one at the back is not black or navy, it's maroon red. I absolutely love this colour. If you watched my Primark haul video, you are aware I made the choice to start including colour in my lingerie. However, I couldn't help it, and still picked up some neutral coloured bras from <i>Marks and Spencer</i>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Generally speaking, the pros of these bras are:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Very high fabric quality. The fabric is thick and feels luxurious.</li>
<li>The bra straps are thick enough for support, but slender enough not to peek out or leave nasty lines on your skin.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Cons:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>The issue I have with these bras are that the strap circumference is very small,. And, as such girls out there on the thick side might have issues hooking their bras. Almost as if these bras were made only for skinny girls with big boobs. <i>Okay bye.</i></li>
</ul>

<b><br></b>UPDATE</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">So I discovered a way of making your bra fit at the back if it's too short, and the cup is your size... bra extenders!

I love the cool feel of this fabric and the fact that it stretches. It also reminded me of something <i>Kim Kardashian</i> wore.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I paired it with these boat shoes just because. I prefer boat shoes to ballerina flats because they give off a bit of elegance and sophistication; but that's just my thoughts. I like to pair them with trousers.</div>

I love the colour of this dress. It is the same fabric as the first one. My extra self threw on a raincoat over it and went shopping with it. Buy it <b><a href="https://femmeluxe.co.uk/dresses/" target="_blank">here</a></b>.</div>

The fact that this top covers my bum is an instant bonus point for Femme Luxe. I paired it with a pair of white flats because that's what I'll wear to dash to the store, but pairing them with heels will definitely bring out their party or date night nature. For more on these white flats, check this video <a href="https://youtu.be/QKaPrNcEfgo" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I really like this dress. It reminds me of the saying <i>pick your battles </i>it's covered up at the back, cleavage and arms but gives off feminine energy below. It also has a flap on the lower part.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
PS: If you don't have good sitting posture stay away, it can be a bit scandalous though.</div>

Hello my lovelies! Today I will be showing how to make <b>Nigerian/West African swallow</b>. This, a healthier version of <i>fufu, semi, garri</i> and so on. You get the gist. It's very straightforward and you won't break bank or your wallet.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Ingredients</b>:</div>
<div>
Oats.</div>
<div>
Water.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Appliances</b>: blender, turning garri (gaskiya, I've forgotten the English name for this appliance, I think it's wooden spatula), clean pot and heat.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Add equal parts of oats and water into your blending jug and blend till it is a smooth paste. If you like it rough don't make it overly smooth. I don't like sufferhead so I blend until it is very smooth.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Transfer the mixture/paste into a lot and place it on medium heat (fire). Use the wooden spatula to turn the mixture (almost as if you're making Quaker oats). At this point, DO NOT ADD WATER OR EXTRA OATS. Keep turning. You can reduce the heat to low heat if it starts burning. After 5 minutes, use the spatula to create spaces by the side of the oats as if you're making semovita. Then, add a little water and cover. Keep your eyes on it if not it will disgrace you đ</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
After one minute, open the pot and give it a good stir. Off it and plate your healthy fufu/garri option. You can also wrap it like I did.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span sans-serif="" verdana=""><span arial="" helvetica="" sans-serif="">Hey guys! Nowadays we are all working from home, and I've had to adapt to a productive routine working from home. I find myself waking up at 5 am, which according to some experts is a </span><span style="text-align: left;">healthy morning routine</span>. It's indeed a welcome change, and I've learnt to make the most of my extra <i>awake </i>time. In this blog post I am sharing my 5 am morning routine with you, which some months ago would have had me rolling with laughter. I try my best to maximize every minute of the day, and get more work done. It also helps that the sun rises pretty early here at 4 am sometimes, and other times at minutes past 5 am. Personally, from my experience I think the secret to gettingup early is sleeping early.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span sans-serif="" verdana=""><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span sans-serif="" verdana=""><b>5 AM: Wake up, and lay in bed for a bit.</b></span><br />
<span sans-serif="" verdana="">I like to dress my bed once I get out of it, it keeps me calm and organized</span><span arial="" helvetica="" sans-serif="">. </span><span sans-serif="" verdana="">On some days I drink my lemon and water, on other days I make sure I drink 1 litre of water and have a bath. On other days, I rush to the bathroom (do a pee), and/or have a bath, (on some days I bathe if my walk is scheduled in the evening on others I walk first, then have a bath when I get back).</span><br />
<span sans-serif="" verdana=""><br /></span>
<span sans-serif="" verdana=""><b>5:30 AM:</b> </span><span sans-serif="" verdana=""><b>Exercise</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span sans-serif="" verdana="">To be honest, the most exercise I do is brisk walking for 4 miles, stretching my entire body (I use an app to guide me because, well đ¤ˇđ˝ââď¸). I don't know about you boo, but I am not a fan of <i>huffing and puffing</i>, hence, no extraordinary exercises... At this juncture I want to state that this is not a <i>luxury pamper morning routine. </i>We can have that post on another day, just not today, or this period.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span sans-serif="" verdana=""><br /></span>
<span sans-serif="" verdana="">I listen to some of my favourite podcasts sometimes while I am walking. When I get back I check my phone (go through emails, whatsApp, social media, and maybe watch one or two youtube videos).</span><br />
<span sans-serif="" verdana=""><br /></span>
<span sans-serif="" verdana="">My relaxed hair</span><span sans-serif="" verdana=""> is currently in the transitioning stage so I like to moisturise it once in two days. I use warm water on it while in the shower to moisturize it. Then, I apply my leave in conditioner and seal it with hair grease (you read that right sis, <i>hair grease </i>THANK GOD my hair i</span><span sans-serif="" verdana="">s THRIVING).</span><br />
<span sans-serif="" verdana=""><br /></span>
<span sans-serif="" verdana=""><b>7:30 AM</b>: </span><span sans-serif="" verdana="">At this point, I go through my to-do list for the day, and have a cup of tea, or some fruits </span><span sans-serif="" verdana="">if I am feeling a bit </span><i style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">empty </i><span sans-serif="" verdana="">in my tummy</span><span sans-serif="" verdana="">. I usually eat at 2 PM because I am not a breakfast person (never have been). I only just discovered I've been doing intermittent fasting without knowing it had a name.</span><br />
<span sans-serif="" verdana=""><br /></span><span sans-serif="" verdana=""><b>8 AM</b>: </span><span sans-serif="" verdana="">Boot my PC and get down to work.</span><br />
<span sans-serif="" verdana=""><br /></span>
<span sans-serif="" verdana="">I usually have some video calls around <b>11 am</b> </span><span sans-serif="" verdana="">for professional reasons. </span></div>

<span sans-serif="" verdana="">My friends!!!!! I am back again today with a sought after post, <i>work from home outfits </i>featuring loungewear. </span><span sans-serif="" verdana="">I received some <i><a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/collections/lounge-wear-sets" target="_blank">loungewear</a></i></span><span sans-serif="" verdana=""> from </span><i style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><b><a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/collections/lounge-wear-sets" target="_blank">FemmeLuxe</a></b>!</i><span sans-serif="" verdana=""> It is not news that are all staying at home. However, it is for a good reason. Most of us are pretty occupied with either work or academic pursuits, or both while in our loungewear. In today's stay at home series, I'm sharing what I wear to stay at home nowadays.</span><br />

Working from home this quarantine/isolation period had me in denim bumshorts (channeling my inner <i>Beyonce HBCU</i> performance), my black leggings, and flimsy house tops. These outfits were kindly supplied by Femme Luxe. The items I have picked out are truly feminine, and will had me feeling like a stay at home Princess in the great indoors!</span><br />

<span sans-serif="" verdana="">These <i><a href="https://femmeluxefinery.co.uk/collections/sale#/filter:product_type:loungewear" target="_blank"><b>loungewear</b></a> </i>have in truth, become my daily work wear except when I'm on professional video calls. Remember our last post (<i style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="https://www.lilyofnigeria.com/2020/05/femme-luxe-haul-outfit-ideas-for-summer.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></i>) they listened and have provided a dress inspired by that <i>Black PU Leopard Print Organza Mesh Sleeve Corset Crop Top </i>which you can shop (<b><i><a href="https://www.femmeluxefinery.co.uk/collections/" target="_blank">here</a></i></b><i>)</i>.</span><br />

<span sans-serif="" verdana=""><br /></span></div>
<span sans-serif="" verdana="">Regardless, this lockdown has availed me the opportunity of doing things and exploring certain aspects of myself; such as: launching my podcast, exploring and dwelling in my <b><i>femininity</i></b> (it's an actual word you guys, go look it up), discovering I LOVE designing banners for people, rediscovering <i>Westlaw </i>(if you know, you know), brushing up on my French (<i>Je m'appelle Alexandra</i>), and learning <i>Russian</i> (I know what you're thinking)<b>!</b> I am so grateful for everything, and everyone in my life. And, these days, I take my meditation and attraction process very seriously whilst remaining firm on Christ my solid rock. I encourage you to do your own personal research into the law of attraction (however, like many things there is a very thin line to be wary of).</span></div>

Happy new month, and new year (since this is the first post of the year 2020 on this blog). I really hope you enjoy the above video, I poured my heart into the entire filming and editing process. I even did the now iconic cat eye or fox eye look that has become a trend. Can you believe I filmed and edited it today? I know! đ If you missed my previous post, you can read all about it (<b><i><a href="https://www.lilyofnigeria.com/2019/12/day-2-blogmas.html" target="_blank">here</a></i></b>)</div>

Note to self: Passive aggression is real đđ<br />
If you follow me on snapchat you'll know what I'm talking about.<br />
I'm really considering a lot of things concerning the future of this blog. I won't give any spoilers, y'all will just see them unfold here in 2020.<br />

I'm grateful for the people in my life, and the blessings of the LORD upon me.<br />

Dear blog reader, I have thought about you for everyday since my last post <b><i><a href="https://www.lilyofnigeria.com/2019/07/everyday-natural-glow-makeup-tutorial.html" target="_blank">here</a></i></b> and words have failed me, until now. Saying <i>thank you </i>is an understatement because you are very special to me; but I'll say it anyway, thank you. Thank you for coming every day even though you don't comment. My analytics show me come around, and I am grateful. I have been very engaged with work and some important things in the real world.<br />
<br />
Today I'm talking about some empty beauty products (mainly skincare) I have used, and what I think.<br />
The following are my <i>November beauty favourites</i>, just like the heading of this post states. None of these products were sent to me, this is not a sponsored blog post. My thoughts are solely based on my experience.</div>

<b>Dove Satin Smooth Body Oil</b><br />
If you are wondering where you saw this Dove bottle it was probably from this youTube video I shot a while back click to see it again <b><i><a href="https://www.lilyofnigeria.com/2019/07/how-to-remove-makeup-from-face-before.html" target="_blank">here</a> </i></b>I will not be purchasing this product, I didn't see any spectacular thing it did for my skin. Thank God it's almost finished. I'm going to use the remaining to get rid of my matte lipstick that <i>only </i>comes off with an oil based remover.<br />

<br />
<b>Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water</b><br />
I bought this product to see how it would work with my skin, and to say the least, I am in love with this product. It was a match made in skin heaven, and I cannot complain. Since purchasing this one, I've gone out to stock up one two more <i>just in case.</i><br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Vitamin C Oil</b><br />
I absolutely love this oil. I've been mincing it since I came here. I use it at night to lock in my moisturiser on my face. Do your research before going to grab a bottle. From my research, Vitamin C and Vitamin A don't mix in skincare so whenever I apply this, I avoid any product with Vitamin A like the plague and vice versa. I bought it from Mama Tega's shop in Yaba, Lagos for N2000 or thereabout (sorry I can't remember). It has a very <i>citrusy </i>smell sometimes I apply the little amount left on my hands to my edges.<br />

<b>Mitvana Anti Aging</b><br />
If there was a picture in the Nigerian slangs dictionary for the phrase <i>used to the</i> <i>fullest maximum</i>, it would be one of these photos below. I literally cleaned out this container! It was soooo good. I loved this lush feeling on my skin, it's really hydrating and I did see a difference with my eye area when I travelled back and forth to Ogbomoso. I bought this product from Spar Tejuoso Yaba. I think it was N1500... However, I won't be repurchasing it because I no longer need it. That Oyo stress is behind me forever in Jesus name, amen. Mitvana also has a shampoo I use, it is GOOD! I love it.<br />

<b>Sunscreen</b><br />
I bought this product from Mama Tega (to be honest when I'm in Lagos that is my spot for beauty products, I trust her to have the best in stock, and her products are affordable there is something for everybody there, <i>she didn't tell me to say that</i>). I just started using this product consistently and I can see a difference in my face. I wish I started earlier.<br />

<b>Dove Sensitive Skin Micellar Water</b><br />
After watching endless videos on youtube and reading skincare blog posts and <i>Facebook </i>posts I knew I was no longer going to use bar soap for my skin. I was advised to get one soap like that (the soap was a FAIL because it did not do what the vendor said it would do, I will not mention the brand so that I don't kill their business, <i>unless you want me to</i>). was to look for a shower liquid without harmful ingredients, and one mindful of sensitive skin. I was pleasantly surprised to come across this product since I was already using the Garnier micellar water below. I thoroughly enjoyed bathing with this, it was sooo good that I had to squeeze out the remaining liquid as you can see below (I might still cut it open, don't laugh if you're Nigerian you know this is how we roll <i>ain't nobody gat time</i>).<br />

<b>Simple Micellar Water Shower Gel</b><br />
So, after the dove micellar water above finished, I got curious to try another brand's version, and ended up with this. I liked it, but I will not repurchase it. I bought another version from the same brand today. I'll let you know how that goes when I do a December favourites post.<br />

<b>Dove Invisible Dry Anti Perspirant</b><br />
Initially, I had my reservations about this product, but it has proved me wrong. I will definitely be sticking to this throughout my time here, <i>and beyond.</i><br />
I opened it so that you can see I actually use it.<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">Hi guys! If you're checking this post out from my home page click on it! Today, is all about </span><i style="text-align: justify;">how I remove my makeup</i><span style="text-align: justify;">. While the process of putting on makeup can sometimes be therapeutic for me, removing it can be a struggle at times.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The last thing anyone needs is to be callous with makeup bu letting it sleep on your face (or body CC <i>Kim Kardashian's body makeup</i>). Previously, I swore by Neutrogena wipes but with the amount of fake in the market, and taking into consideration how my skin is I resolved to using plain hypoallergenic baby wipes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recently, while shopping for skincare products I discovered the Rosewater and glycerin I used in this video. I bought it for N500 (I know it's a good bargain for how great it is on my face).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cotton wool balls I used were also purchased for N300.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

Hi everybody, welcome to this weeks post! You can check out last week's post if you missed it <b><a href="http://www.lilyofnigeria.com/2019/04/dear-law-student-3-law-school-tips-true.html?m=1">here</a></b>. This week, one of my favorite writers (I promise I'm not fanning out) <i>Chukwuemeka</i> is contributing. I met him while I was a university student. Emeka reminds me of <b>Chimamanda and Achebe</b>. He writes with such finesse, and his talent is hard to miss. I hope you enjoy what school was like for him.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>Enjoy!</i></div>

I basically slept and woke up and university was over. All of a sudden, the memories became very faint. Things I thought I had achieved became pale. Nothing. They tasted like ash in my mouth. <br />
<br />
Final year at the University of Nigeria came with rather too many struggles. Finance was very tight. There were classes that I hardly understood what they were for. There was a Project to write. The deadline was close by and I had no laptop and of course, no money to use a Business Centre. Then they released the exam time table with quizzes in between. It was a mad house in my head. I could not think straight. Then father died. Suddenly, everything did not matter anymore. Only his funeral. Constant calls from home and shuttling between three states â Abia, Enugu and Imo. <br />
<br />
As my father laid to rest, my fears awoke. Suddenly, I became afraid of not graduating with a Second Class (Upper Division). I also worried that I would not even graduate at all because my Project was still lying fallow. I had missed quizzes and exams were just around the corner and I hadnât read a page of any course. <br />

Then one night, I went into the campus to take a stroll to clear my head and suddenly, everywhere went dark. Screams from the first hostel were replied from the second hostel and the third, fourth and the glasses shattered. Poles were pulled down. The riot was in full swing. The next morning, the authorities asked the students to vacate indefinitely in roder to clear the carnage they caused and to think of how to punish us.<br />
<br />
Others complained, I did not. I also had carnages to clear and I must clear them. Or so I thought. My friend Temple could not travel back to Lagos in such uncertain times so he had to stay with me and my best friend, Toby at our off campus apartment. Temple just came with two small school bags and plenty loads of stories of law school that he had heard. He constantly told stories of Kenneth Okwor and how he graduated with a frist class and thus, changed his life forever. <br />
<br />
Prior to Templeâs coming, I had cared little or nothing about law school. Suddenly, I wanted the first class. Suddenly, it seemed like the only thing that would help me escape the mental torture of the feeling of nothingness I felt then. It became my only goal and objkective. I felt inspired and even more afraid. <br />
<br />
We resumed. I wrote my exams. I defended my Project. I graduated. I went home. To rest and to worry about law school. There was no money to even prepare for it. I was afraid of being sent to the northern part of the country. Then one day, I received N50,000 from Mr. Nonso Azih, whom my friend Chisom Ozoemena had told my story. The next day I went to the market to get a suit for law school and buy basic things I believed I would need at law school.<br />
<br />
As I stood in the queue at the Union Bank branch at Ariaria Market, Aba, I received a call from Chiderah Azodoh<br />
âChukwuemeka, law school posting is out.â<br />
âWhere were you posted to?â I asked.<br />
âI donât know yet. I have not checked.â<br />
<br />
I asked her to check hers and mine and call me back. She sent a text.<br />
âWe are going to Lagos.â<br />
I called Chisom later in the day and she was going to Lagos as well.</div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<br /></div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Law school is already starting on a good note, I thought. The tales of the stress at Lagos Campus of the Nigerian Law School did not matter to me. I would make a first class and stories of all that stress would be told with happiness.</div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<br /></div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
The taxi drove into the campus in the evening. I admired the exterior architecture of the hostels. We (I was with some friends from Aba who had been posted to law school as well) asked for accommodation and we were asked to go upstairs, choose an empty room and come back for documentation. We chose Room 410. </div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<br /></div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
It was not long before Tochukwu started complaining about the coloured water, the malfunctioning sockets and dead bulbs. I waved them all off and told him we were going to survive. I was more concerned with my first class goals to care.</div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<br /></div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Monday came with the registrations at the Studentsâ Affairs, hostel and the clinic. Of course, the processes were difficult and tedious like every other thing organized by the Nigerian civil service. The registrations could not be completed in a day and we had to juggle it with induction classes that served merely to bark out directives at us. Dos and Donâts. </div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<br /></div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
I eventually concluded my registration. I was placed in Group 10 by virtue of fact that my serial number ended in â0â. This also meant I was condemned to sitting at the back of the class â with my bad eyes. I finally got a permanent room â 306, with Tochukwu. </div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<br /></div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
In class, I sat with Viola, my classmate from the university, Eyituoyo (a pretty girl from UNIBEN), Marcus (a real dude from DELSU), Obinna (another real dude from UNIZIK and also lived at Aba) and Bolanle (a pretty girl from OAU). We existed in peace and harmony.</div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<br /></div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
I went to Law School with a resolve to face just my studies. That meant that I would have nothing to do withanything else asides my books. However, when politics came calling, I couldnât deny my real love the attention it wanted. That was how I started campaign to join the Studentsâ Representative Council (SRC). I won my schoolâs nomination and also got elected into the Executive Committee. The post came with a room at the executive wing of the Hostels.</div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<br /></div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
It meant I had to leave Room 306 and my 5 roommates behind to move into one I shared with just one person â John Sunday, who studied at ABU and was the Secretary-General of the SRC.</div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<br /></div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
The room suited me. Naturally, I do not appreciate crowds in my personal space. So, a room of 6 persons was not ideal for me. Also, this room came with a television with cable subscription and an air conditioner that more or less functioned as a fan. Simply put, the room served as a sanatorium for me. The classes made me sick. The auditorium was a torture chamber.</div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<br /></div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Each minute, we are reminded that the air we breathe is for the âpurpose of Bar Part 2â. They announced its imminent coming as if it was Armageddon. I started hating exams from the university and NLS made it worse. I also hated classes because thatâs where Iâd normally meet people that also had the same ambition to make a first class like me. I did not detest their ambitions but I detested someone talking about it with me. I did not talk about mine. I hated it when people would reel out names of those that had made first class earlier on. It made me more insane. My dear room brought back my sanity each day. </div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<br /></div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
I attended group meetings sometimes. They were not entirely bad. Sometimes, ironically, it served as a stress reliever for me. To also ease off stress, I would take a walk around Victoria Island. I liked doing that alone with my earphones and music blasting at high volume into my eardrums. Oblivious of the world. Lost to the noise. Drowned in the melody. Transcending so far away from the voices of the lecturers, the agitated chatters of some of the students. Taking in the glory of the highbrow island and transported into the future I dreamt for myself â sitting atop the skyscrapers, looking down on a city I have conquered. All these would be made possible if I made a first class, some sinister voice would whisper to me. That voice only came when I walk back to the school.</div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<br /></div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
I also tried to seek spiritual solace. I tried to get a church but I ended up getting churches. I became a church whore. I had go to a different church each Sunday. At a point, it became a sport for me. Island churches were quite generous to their first timers. So I became a serial first timer at different churches. </div>

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
The Attachment period came. We had to juggle going to courts and assigned law firms with our studies. That period was quite a flux. It seemed free. But deep down you knew that it was your last chance at redeeming your ambition. The period was only a veil covering the bride â EXAMS. If it is misused, you would really find the an ugly bride. If you take it too seriously as well, your law school story would be drab and dull. </div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<br /></div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
I took it seriously most times. I had fun sometimes. But the fun belonged just to the body. The mind did not participate. There was no consensus ad idem between the two parts of me. In all honesty, the court and chambers I was assigned to did not stress me but my room did. Yes, there were classes no more, so my room became THE CLASS. It was no longer a place to sleep and relax. It became a study chambers. </div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<br /></div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
The veil eventually got lifted and the bride came. She did not seem as difficult as the lecturers made it look like she was going to be. However, during the exams, my eyesight decided that was the best time to tell me it was worse than I thought it was. The exams came and went. On the last day, I cried. I knew I had passed law school but I was no longer sure of the first class. But that was not why I cried. I did because I knew I was going to be a lawyer. My fatherâs dream and he had died a year earlier.</div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<br /></div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Like many other students, we went to the Chapel to pray for successful marking of our scripts. For our first class ambitions and for many other things related to our stay in law school. The next day, we were asked to vacate the school premises. I did. I went back home. I waited. The results came out on the night of my birthday. I made a Second class, lower division. I was not impressed. I eagerly fought being depressed by it. I succeeded. The result cost me a job at a top tier law firm. Well, I got another one. But the result depressed many people I know. Some are yet to recover. </div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<br /></div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
We are all wiser in retrospect. Upon conclusion of law school, it dawned on me that it was a sham. I played myself. I did not do it the right way. The right way for me. The right way for the world. I realized the world hardly cares about the first class. It was just top law firms in Lagos that cared about it if you wanted to spend your NYSC year with them. And they only cared about it if you had no connections within. I realized so many things for myself. </div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<br /></div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
For some, it may be different. But for me, if I went back to law school, I would spend nights on the rooftop with girls. I would seek out the parties and attend them. I would let my mind soak in the âPass The Micâ show, I would have danced better at the cocktail parties, I would have spent my evenings watching football matches, I wouldnât have joined in some of the prayers for exam success that I indulged in. I wouldnât allow the lecturers words get at me. I would just listen to the lectures and bar out any âfor the purpose of Bar Part 2â threats. I would have slept more. I would have just lived. I would just live. Just live. Live. Thatâs all I would have done.</div>

<b>The Day that Changed Everything</b><br />
It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Externship had come to an end and we were ready to get on with it. 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 done with everything a week before the bar exams started. Then I heard what seemed to be the worst news I had heard all year round. Our bar exams had been moved forward. Yes my dear, forward. The MCQs had been moved from the 24th of July to the 29th of July and the main exams had been moved to the 15th to the 19th of August. My chest was tight, my body was weak and my head was splitting. A few days before, when I was preparing my last study timetable, I kept having this nudge to plan as though the time was shorter since we knew that Sallah was on the 1st of September but I said no, that my head already felt like it was splitting with the amount of work that I had to do. We heard this on the 14th of July. I remember because it was Xtrimâs birthday. That evening, to calm my nerves, I went out to buy a few things to take my mind off things. I am one of those who suffer from ââsee and buyââ sometimes. I had been contemplating moving to an executive room. If you had between four hundred and twenty five thousand naira (N425000) to eight hundred and fifty thousand naira (N850000), you could get yourself a fairly decent room with privacy to stay in. With this news, I was sure. I didnât want a clash of nerves. I didnât want to look for where to study. Lagos campus is very small and as much as possible, I wanted to avoid people.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Portfolio assessment timetable also came out that day. Portfolio assessment is when you face a panel and give an account of your externship experience. The panel would open the confidential letters given to you by law firm, your attendance, your ethical dilemma and your slideshow. Donât play with this process. People of God, it is possible not be called to the Nigerian Bar even if you pass the exam if you do not pass this assessment. It was starting on Monday. That first week, it was just portfolio assessment. But cruelty is first nature to Lagos campus so they made sure we came to thumbprint twice a day that whole week in our regulation wear. They werenât going to leave us with all that time to study. Everyone was preparing as much as they could. Some human beings are so sold out to the work of God and to His word and true to it, they put others before themselves. One of these people is my dear friend and brother, Ikenna Okoli. People like him were busy encouraging others and helping them revise as much as they could. The week after was revision week and the Saturday after that was the day of MCQs. Incase you think we were getting ready only physically, youâre wrong. During externship, we had started praying on the roof top from 10pm till 11pm every Saturday night. The closer the date to the exam got, the larger the crowd. People were afraid. Thatâs what law school does. The environment was tense and people found solace in praying with other people. We had fasted and prayed from the 17th of July. We met in the chapel behind class and prayed and on the day of MCQ, I can testify that God came through for us. A whole essay for about four questions was missing in criminal litigation. Because of this, we were given extra time. Extra time for them to read out the question and ten minutes extra to enable us finish our work. I heard that in some places, they had more than ten minutes. Ten minutes in that exam is as good as sharing bars of gold. Iâm sure you can imagine the way we thanked and celebrated God after the exam. Some people are bold and guess what? I am not one of them. These people actually went back to calculate their scores in the different courses. I left that life behind in university. One was down, the main hurdle remained. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>Closer to the Day</b><br />
The days went by really fast. We continued to revise. We had the compulsory mooting session for two days. We had to dine as well. All these things activities, the week before the bar finals. I can only attribute it to God that I finished almost every topic more than once. I crammed a few cases but I still wasnât done learning my drafts. I even solved some past questions based on the emphasis made during revision. I couldnât read every single day, we were doing so much at the same time and my brain was reaching its full capacity sooner than I expected daily. Sometimes, I couldnât sleep. It was probably because I was tensed so I watched cartoons to help me calm down. Sometimes, it worked, other times, I just had a headache. I could tell that my body was trying to go down but I settled it by praying and taking communion and I was rejuvenated. I had summaries of everything that I had read. Thatâs what I read the morning before every paper and some of the laws too.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
The first paper was property law. I wasnât afraid at all. Just the usual exam jitters but I was fine. The exam was generally good. I had said that I would win an award in property law and criminal litigation. During the exam, one question didnât make any sense at all. It seemed like it should have been the question for a different scenario. Towards the end of the exam, my suspicions were confirmed and the question was corrected. They didnât give us any extra time but I had a few extra minutes and I had premeditated that this was an error so thankfully, I was able to cancel and re-answer in good time. We gathered in the chapel to thank God for the success of the paper and went on to prepare for the next.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I loved criminal litigation. Sincerely, I did. Maybe it had to do with the lecturers who taught it or the fact that it was straightforward. The exam on the other hand was tricky. Question one was the length of my whole body. I spent a total of one hour two minutes on question one alone. There was 1a which was on charges. They had told us the court to draft in. The confusion was in how many counts to draft and whether to or not to add the people together. I ended up with twelve counts. Each count is repetitive so youâll find yourself repeating the same words over and over again. I kept praying to the Holy Spirit to give me speed and help me finish all the other questions and finish them well and God came through for me. I finished and I was grateful. I was very unsure of a lot of my answers so after the exam and we were well out of the hall, I asked my friend and seat partner, Tobi Babalola what he wrote just to check if I was correct or not. I donât think Tobi likes revising after the exam because he always said very little.<br />

<br />
Thursday morning, I had corporate law exam, that morning while I prayed and read my bible, God have me a word. With God, nothing shall be impossible- Luke 1:37. The day before, I had sown a seed in someoneâs life and she prayed so much for me. Also, a friend of mine had called me to tell me that God told him to tell me to be anxious for nothing. For me, these were all good signs. My new roommate Folake and our adjoining roommate Lisa had prayed that afternoon as we stepped out. I was ready to go and then I opened my Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) just to confirm the section for auditors. This I think, was the greatest mistake I made in law school. When I entered the hall and saw some questions, all I have to say was donât mess with your revision classes. As in, at all. Then the confusion started. It was number three, an optional question. It was about auditors. As soon as I saw it, I jumped for joy since it was the last thing I had just looked at right. Number two was obviously easier but because I saw auditors I went straight into it. As soon as I started writing the answers, I became confused and started cancelling. I donât know why I didnât just stop in my tracks and go through all the questions in that number to be sure that they were what I could tackle. Maybe I would have realized on time and stopped and started answering number two but I didnât. By the time I was done with the question, I was demoralized because I knew my best bet was to answer the other optional question but it was too late. Time was already gone and there was nothing I could do about it.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I prayed hard after this. I tried to exercise my faith. I wasnât aware that a greater confusion was waiting for me in Civil litigation. To a great extent, civil litigation exam was easy. There was just this confusion about whether question four was representative action or class action. A lot of questions followed later under that number that were truly dicey. This was a compulsory question so my only option was to attempt it. I was close to the end but I was weak. The combination of corporate and civil litigation in my head made me kiss the First class goodbye even though I struggled to believe that it was still a possibility.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Professional ethics was long. We were asked literally everything. But it was the end and we were done. We prayed and prayed over our exams. There is absolutely nothing that God cannot do. I am still a strong believer of that. Then we rejoiced. Our time with each other was cut short because the NBA conference was starting that weekend and some lawyers had paid to use our hostels and not hotels. Does this make sense now? That exams were moved two weeks forward and suddenly, there was money to renovate old facilities. The hostels were even fumigated while we were in class writing one of our papers. Suddenly, everything made sense to us. It was the worst type of realization to have. The insensitivity of it all.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Results were scheduled to come out on the 7th of October. It was later moved to the 21st of October. It came out in the early hours of the 22nd. I couldnât check so my friend Chukwuemeka checked for me. It was a 2.2 people. I was hoping that if I didnât make the first, at least, a 2.1. I had called my friend Bond, he made a 2.2. I didnât know what to say. I called Nosa, same thing. Nonso? The same thing. When I heard mine, I was weak. The first thing I did was to get down from my bed, kneel down and thank God. I told my parents and sent them a screen shot of the result. I couldnât believe it oh. God? Na me be this? Chai! Law school has finished me. These were my thoughts. A few of my friends were disappointed too. Marcus for one. I was sure he would make a first but he didnât. Ikenna was my biggest fear. He was the one helping everyone. Praying for others and leading the prayers. I was afraid that he would be mocked. That God will be mocked. People called me and I laughed about it all. I had so much to say. Everyone simply thought I had taken it well but I hadnât. I was bleeding badly inside and putting up an appearance for everyone to see. I was glad that some of my friends had made it. Viola Echebima, Cyril-Okafor Jennifer and the baby girl herself Faith Onimiya made the first. This gave me comfort and joy. Especially Faith. Faith and I had become good friends just before the exams through Tolu Ajiboye who I met during my law firm placement and absolutely loved. </div>

<b>Searching for a Job</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><b>I</b></span><span style="font-size: 1.1em;"> didnât realize the intensity of the grade I had made until I started attending job interviews and it was a question to be asked. A particular law firm that I had done so well with actually told me that it was the reason they couldnât take me. For months I bled and laughed. My sisters Chisom and Ijeoma tried to encourage me. Ugo said it didnât stop anything. I had heard their words but kai! Do you understand that I made a first class in my University. I am smart. It was like my worst fear (the stories they told in class) had just happened to me. </span><span style="font-size: 1.1em;">I didnât pray anymore. It wasnât that I didnât want to, I just didnât have the strength to. I lived through the days. I started going through a healing process with my friend Soma. She had been dealt an even heavier blow. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-size: 1.1em;">Finally, a day to my call to bar, I got into an argument with my mum about my attitude towards my call to bar. I told her I didnât want any serious celebration. I kept emphasizing it. When she confronted me about my attitude, I decided to explain why to her and thatâs when I burst into uncontrollable tears. Chiderah wept. Actually wept. It was nothing small at all. I knew what I had worked for and the disappointment was huge. I wept and I wept hard from the debt of my heart. My mum held me and encouraged me. Then she prayed for me in that way that only a mother can. I knew she understood. After that, I started feeling better. I went out and bought two dresses. One of which was going to be my reception dress. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 1.1em;">I started inviting people to my reception and all. I had had a flicker of hope. I still didnât have a job but life was looking brighter and livable.</span><span style="font-size: 17.6px;"> </span><br />
<b style="font-size: 1.1em;">Where I am Now</b><br />
<span style="font-size: 1.1em;">The truth is, getting a job was very difficult. One, because I actually wasnât applying anywhere initially. I wasnât interested in getting a job in a law firm. I had no particular plans. I was simply exhausted by the educational system, by life as a whole or what my life seemed to be like. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 1.1em;">When all my friends started going to job interviews and getting offers, I realized that I should actually be looking for something. I had several disappointments. I failed an LSAT test. I was told that I did well during my interview but that they couldnât take me because of my law school result. From some firms, it was just silence. Deafening silence.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 1.1em;">Thank God for a good family and a great support system, after what seemed like the longest time, I got a job in the best firm in the country to start my NYSC. By Godâs grace, I was retained. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 1.1em;">This is my story. But I know people who never got good places or the expected results for their efforts. Iâll tell you something, you have to take life one day at a time where you are. If you donât have a job, keep applying to different places. If you can, pursue your other interests while applying. One thing you need to understand is that your time is your greatest asset. So if you still have control of it because you donât have a job yet, try your hands on interesting things. You may find that your other interests may become very profitable and help you discover a new path. Whatever the case is, use your time well. It is the one thing I currently desire most, to have control over my time. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 1.1em;">Iâll leave you dear reader with this advice- you could be a law student, a lawyer, or simply a human being reading this. While my analogies will be in relation to the bar exams, I believe you can apply it to whatever area of your life.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 1.1em;">LIVE: Live your life. Let your imaginations of your life while youâre in law school outlive law school. Plan your future so much and donât hinge it on your law school result. Invest in yourself.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 1.1em;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 1.1em;">Plan to pass the bar exam. While living, know that the strength of your law school result does open crucial doors for you. My friend Viola didnât attend one job interview. The law firms were requesting for her and not her for them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 1.1em;">Shut out the doors and windows of fear. No matter the stories they tell, that it happened to someone does not mean that it would happen to you. Remind yourself daily about the grade you want and confess it till everything in you agrees with it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 1.1em;">Study: no knowledge gained is wasted. Look at it as building your knowledge base and not just reading to pass. It may become fun to you amidst the stress.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 1.1em;">Find your strength. If discussions are your strong areas then discuss. Whatever is your strength, find it and build it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 1.1em;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 1.1em;">Pray. This story does not sound like the story of God coming through for someone, so why should you pray. I may not have gotten the grade that I wanted but Iâm definitely getting a life that is greater than what I desired. It hurts to wait for it all to pan out but patience is actually a virtue. Through it all, some diehard fans have stuck through with arsenal, why wonât you wait it out with God?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 1.1em;">I hope you enjoyed reading this story. I hope you learned a lesson or two reading it. I did. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: 1.1em;">In last weeks post </span><a href="http://bit.ly/2utF6yS" target="_blank"><b>here</b></a><span style="font-size: 1.1em;"> my former roommate Chidera discussed some of her experiences as a student of the </span><i style="font-size: 1.1em;">Nigerian Law school.</i><span style="font-size: 1.1em;"> This week she shares her experience with her law school roommates, her study pattern, fellowship and so on.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 19.36px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><i>Continued from last week.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><b>...</b>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. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">Tuesday was for civil litigation. Now, there are teachers and there are TEACHERS. Mrs Odukoya, that woman broke down the life out of civil litigation. During our first lecture with her, she stood for four straight hours, teaching, explaining, giving the best examples. It was always a great time in her class. Her favorite word is ''circulate.'' She always said that after making corrections to a group tasks and instructed them to circulate the answers to other groups. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">Wednesday was for Property Law Practice. Now Wednesdays were probably my most dramatic days in law school. The combination of lecturers for that course was an embodiment of perfection and at the same time trouble. They seemed to be a good fit for one another. Mrs Odusote, tall, beautiful, stern and intimidating. Mr Udemezue, jovial, intelligent and rather talkative. Mrs James, the absolute image of small but mighty. Her petite frame didnât do justice to all the energy she had in her. It was in this class that I first heard the term ''committee of friends'' used outside the context of a social event. If you came in late to a property law class and Mr Udemezue was there, you would come to the front of the class as a member of the committee of friends and would have to answer a question before you were permitted to go back to your seat. Everyone desperately avoided this committee but many times, we fell prey at one point. I remember the day that even the Student Representative Council Chairman, Garrick Nosa John fell a victim. On some days, Mrs Odusote would start calling random registration numbers to answer a question. My heart was always in my hands. I canât even lie. It was always a dramatic day because some students would refuse to own up to their numbers and answer the questions they were asked. She would then instruct Mrs James to take down the numbers. This was a mild threat to make you own up or be issued with a query. Or they would start calling hostel room numbers and tell you to call your best or worst roommate to answer the question. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">One fateful Thursday in law school, I met a young man who is arguably the most intelligent person I have met: Kenneth Okwor Ononeze. This young man was still 24 when he became our lecturer. He is tall, handsome, well spoken, with a good fashion sense (even though some people I know may disagree) and most importantly, he was willing to teach everything he knew no matter how long it took. This young man actually taught alteration of a companyâs memorandum from beginning to end without any guide. He taught straight from his head with his CAMA in his hand (he didnât open it once) and taught walking around the class not missing any section. The course didnât thrill me one bit. It might have been my nemesis at the end of the day. Who knows? But watching him teach it was everything.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">Mrs James also taught this class. You see, Iâm sure in my own way, I loved Mrs James but I didnât appreciate her lectures for one simple reason; she always asked me a question. Which meant I had to put on my microphone and talk. Have I already mentioned to you that hard as I tried, while my body was in class, my mind was hardly there. But I have been like this my whole academic life. Once it was 11am or the very maximum, 12noon, my mind shuts down for that day but law school has failed and continues to fail to understand that people have different attention spans. So rather than letting us thrive as we should, they make everyone sit in class all day whether we are learning anything or not. You can imagine that everytime Mrs James asked me a question, I fumbled and flopped. Maybe she could see what lay ahead. I always suspected that she could see something in me that wasnât good. When we get to the end of this story, we would all know. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">It is important to explain why Mrs James bothered so much with me. I was an official in the campus recognized fellowship, CLASFON(Christian Lawyers Fellowship of Nigeria) for which she was the staff adviser. She made it a point of duty to ask as many officials questions whenever she was in class. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">Finally, Fridays. On Fridays, we had Professional ethics and skills class. I can just hear Mr Udemezue saying âProf Ethix.â This course had two main lecturers, Dr Hameed and Mr Orimunguje but from time to time, different lecturers came in to take one topic or the other. I hated this class because I found it extremely boring but I loved one thing about it; it always ended early. That was music to my ears when by 1:30pm or 2pm we are told that we are dome for the day. It was a blissful way to begin my weekend.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 1.1em;">The first place the weekend started was in my room. I had three very interesting roommates. Viola (who by the way was Best Graduating Student in my university and in law school), Kelechi who I met through Viola and finally Beebah. Viola and I had been friends in university. Good friends actually. But I wasnât sure if being roommates with her was going to be a walk in the park. To cut a long story short, I had the best time with her. We would mimic lecturers all afternoon after class, sleep and gist later. Obviously we read too. I mean she was BGS back to back. We also had mutual friends from university and in law school. The closest being Marcus, Bolanle and Moyo. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">Kelechi was my hissing roommate who always had a new chiker every day. She is beautiful, slender and my birthday mate to add to the mix. Three of us were already roommates and were not in need of a fourth one. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">The reason is simple. The law school made provision for four beds in the room and three wardrobes. Like, what is the plan right? Well law school is what it is. We got Beebah as a fourth roommate. We were not welcoming at first. We made it clear that we owned the room and clearly didnât want her. With time, we got over our childish ways and mixed nicely. Beebah and Kelechi became bestfriends. They did everything together. Went to class together, studied together, bought indomie from ââman of godââ together and as is the next thing, always got into an argument of some sort with each other. However, I spent the most time with Beebah. During our externship, we remained in our room. The easiest way to describe what we had going was sisterhood. We became sisters. It didnât matter that I was Igbo and she was Yoruba or that I am Christian and she is Muslim. We learnt to love and live with each other. We had a few misunderstandings. We had to. When I decided to participate in the hallelujah challenge by Nathaniel Bassey, she made sure she woke me up to participate every time it was 12midnight and I had fallen asleep. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><b><u>My fellowship</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">Remember how my roommates came into this discussion, we were talking about my weekend. My weekends in law school were far from your ideal weekend. I didnât start with âitâs Friday and we must chillâ or anything like that. A good Friday night involved a good laugh with my rommates, a show on youtube and a peaceful sleep. I remember so many times in law school when this sleep was interrupted on a Saturday morning. That brings me to a part of my law school experience that will forever remain with me; my fellowship.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">One lovely day after lectures, Mrs James made an announcement that if you were a CLASFON executive in your university, you should wait behind after the class to meet with her. I did as I was an executive in university and I loved CLASFON. A few of us met with her and that was the beginning of it all. We had our first fellowship the next week, filled out data forms and were eventually invited to interviews one faithful Saturday morning. The following Sunday, I was made the drama co-ordinator of the fellowship. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">That was a shocker but I could handle it, at least I thought I could. It was a big responsibility to take on with the intensity of the work load. We had fellowships on Thursday and service on Sundays. I had all kinds of fears. Would I be able to handle it? Will I serve well? Will I please God? Was it Godâs will for my life? Was I good enough to have been chosen by God? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">Those were my initial troubles until I had my first executive council (exco) meeting and I was sure I didnât want to work with a few of the people I had been appointed with. That weekend went by very quickly and we were faced with our last week of lectures for the term. It was yet another Friday and I had a lot of backlog of note forming to do. I was glad it was coming to an end today but I was met with the shock of my life, a snap test. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">See eh, nothing prepares you for it. And I certainly was not prepared for it. I was so worried that I had disgraced myself and that the results were going to be uploaded to the website for everyone to see. Later that evening, we had a meeting as excos with Mrs James. It was a prayer type of thing. She prayed and prayed with us. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">I saw some things go on that day that made me in awe of her in some way, yet in another way, I held a type of resentment against her. I may have been intimidated by the fact that even though she wore no earrings and make up and didnât fit into my definition of beautiful, she had an amazing sense of confidence and what I perceived to be a strong relationship with God which I coveted. That meeting went on and another was rescheduled for the next day by 6am. Iâm like âwhatttt.â To cap up my misery, the next day was a Saturday. We were to have a prayer walk before our meeting. At this point, let me introduce you to my CLASFON president whom I despised in the beginning who later became one of my best friends in law school, Nonso Egbumokei. He is a perfect description of âspiroooooâ. Thatâs where Iâll leave it. At the end of that meeting this precious âSaturdayâ I was drained. More often than not, as time went on, I had one meeting or program scheduled on Saturday. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">School was done for the term and boy was I grateful. My birthday was a few days away, my family and I were travelling to celebrate my aunts 50th birthday. It was an amazing time for me. But like the song writer asks âwhy do all good things come to an end?â. Mine came to an abrupt end and I was saddled with take home assignment that I hadnât done. Thankfully, I had Marcus as a friend so I just dubbed his for the most part. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><b><u>My study pattern</u></b>âŚ</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">What is this story if I donât tell you how I burned the proverbial midnight candle?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">Before starting law school, I spent about two months with a friend in Enugu. While staying at her place, I woke up very early every morning to pray and do a little reading before stepping out for the day. This pattern seemed to work very well for me. And as the person that I am, please donât judge me, I believed God had given me a pattern for law school. Yes. I believed it. And so I lived it out. I woke up between 4:30am and 5am prayed, got dressed and went to class to prepare for the day. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">On some days, I was great following the lecturers and all but on others I was just tired and trying to sleep. After class, I would sleep and wake up and study in my room for as many hours as I could or I would go to the library. I donât want to deceive you into believing that I read like there was no end to it during the 17 weeks of lectures. I tried my best but the truth is, it was difficult for me. After a while, I stopped waking up so early. One of the main factors was because I had to attend my compulsory group meeting by 6pm everyday which sometimes lasted till 7:30pm or 8pm. This was after ending lectures by 4pm or later every day. After that, Iâm not a robot now, so I had to eat. While getting dinner, you may meet a friend or two and engage in a discussion and before you know it, all your time is gone and itâs time to go to bed and start the whole process again. I considered it wise to make a few changes. Wisdom is profitable to direct right. I stopped my morning routine and just made sure that I went through the task for the next day either the night before the class or in the morning before the class. Most of the time, I went through the already solved task which my group had submitted. </span><br />
<iframe height="238" src="//editor.wix.com/shoutout/gs#/sosa-gs-widget/838067e3-4988-4a31-8d1f-bbacbaaf56c6" style="background: transparent; border: none; height: 238px; overflow: hidden; width: 367px;" width="367"></iframe>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">I donât do well just reading my textbooks. I am a note former. I tried forming most of my notes in class while the lectures were going on. This process had an appeal for two reasons. First was that it helped me stay awake and follow the class. Second was that in the evening when I was going through my textbooks, I only had to add a few things here and there. I strongly advice anyone in law school to do this. Form your notes while in class and please follow the corrections to the tasks while the lecturers are going through them. You will discover that law school is more of what you listen to and understand in class than what you read later. There was a lot to read, there was little time to read it. What I simply did was follow the lectures as much as I could, solve the tasks for the next day and read after class. There were days when I was too tired to do any of these things. It wasnât that I didnât want to, I was discouraged. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">One thing you need to know is that law school, at least the Lagos campus is an institution that thrives on fear. The lecturers claim to be encouraging you but the truth is, they tell you all kinds of stories about how people fail, how people who did well in university come to law school and flopped (this was my worst story), how you shouldnât offend them, how you are to know everything because you donât know where the questions would come from. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">On a normal day and in a reasonable environment, these things donât seem insurmountable but the Nigerian law school has an extra twist to it. You are graded by your lowest grade. If you make all Aâs and one B, you leave the institution with a 2.2. Thereâs no focus on all your strengths, just your weakness. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">I am one of those strongly against the law school grading system. People may think I am bitter because I was one of those affected by it. They might be right. My take on it is that, if you want the first class grade to remain as sacred as it, then to make a first class, you must make straight Aâs. Anything short of that will be determined by the average into the other categories. I have always been against the grading system and the fact that I am a victim of it only gives me more standing to speak against it. The sum total of 9months in one institution should not be determined by a mistake or two in one course. Your strengths and your weaknesses should be used to judge you. Not your weaknesses alone. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">At some point, I told myself that I will start my reading afresh during the externship. I made it through the 20weeks of lectures with God on my side. I was determined to make the best out of my externship period. There were books to read, multiple choice questions to solve, past questions to answer, unformed notes to form. I chose to stay in Lagos. I believed I would study better here since I was in an academic environment. My mates were here with me so we would do a lot together. Fortunately, I didnât have to pay to stay on the hostel. I was in the law clinic and it was free for its members.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">Externship is made up of Court placement for six weeks and law firm placement for another six weeks. I was posted to the High Court of Lagos state. Specifically to Hon Justice O.A Adamsonâs court, court 52, commercial division which was also a fast track court. If youâre ever in the high court of Lagos state area, I beg you, look for his court. I promise you will learn a thing or two in his court. His assistants and registrars are also the nicest people ever. I found the first week of my court placement interesting. The cases were good, the judge was very knowledgeable. It was a wholesome experience. I also needed to fill my log book which was actually steesful. You would think that recounting what you did in a day should be easy to recollect and pen down right? Well, when you have to write out your activities and reflect on them in accordance to a rule of law or something you have learnt, it isnât so easy after all.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"> By the second week, all I wanted was to leave court early enough to study. I started reading in court sometimes with my tablet. Some of our predecessors had some lifesaving notes that I advise everyone to get. I am of the strong view that notes like that of <i>Kenneth Okwor, Adaji Rose, Gabriella Ndu</i> and <i>Adaeze</i> were better than most of our textbooks. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">Our lecturers would disagree with me but maybe one day, they should take a look at those notes for themselves. They might change them to their new lecture guides. I decided to read a course for about 6-8 days first without forming my notes. I called this just reading to understand. I did this for every course but professional ethics. By the time I was done with this, about 25days were gone out of about a 100 and I began regretting this decision. I am a planner. I am not a good executor. I struggled with my plans but God had mercy on me. I really needed help with my MCQs. A book had been introduced to us in class which contained MCQ questions, answers and the reasons for the answers done by a corporate law lecturer in Enugu. It was during my search for where to purchase this book that one of my best friendships in law school developed. I was told that the SRC chairman, Garrick Nosa John had copies he was selling. I didnât like him very much at the time but whatever, I needed the book. After contacting him for days, I was finally able to reach him and purchase the book. He obviously noticed my keen interest in doing well at the bar exams. Later that night, I got a text message from him asking if I wanted to solve MCQ questions together. I was definitely in need of the help and so I said yes. Garrick became my reading partner. For 3 hours every day, we made sure we solved the MCQ questions and timed ourselves. We even made little shading papers to use as practice papers. After we were done, we would use the answers at the back of the question book to score ourselves. After that, we would take each question one by one and try to determine the real answer and why. We would search our textbooks, compare the laws, argue and argue till we came to a perfect conclusion. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">On some days, we were fortunate to have Oliseh with us. After this, we started drafting. I got the list of all the drafts required topic by topic and we solved as much as we could every night and made corrections. Iâm not sure how long we did this for but it was a refreshing way to learn. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">At the end of May, we started law office placement. You see, you have to fill that form carefully. I got posted to a law firm not too far from law school. So did 11 other people and the law firm took only 10 persons. By my calculations and forehand information, two people were going to be left roaming the streets of Lagos looking for another firm to accept them and really that couldnât be me. Beyond looking for another firm, you had to report to the externship coordinator who was in charge to either find you another place or approve where you had found for yourself. It doesnât like a big deal right now, but when 10days later you still donât have a firm but youâre to attach yourself somewhere so you can fill your logbook and stand the risk of not being called to bar because you donât meet the criteria for portfolio assessment, you suddenly realize that you are actually in boiling soup, you are on fire, the pot is on fire and so is the gas cooker. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">The law firm is not one of the big names you know. All ten of us were kept in their conference room. It was the only place that could take us. Four out of ten of us knew each other very well. We were in the same drama family in school. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">Permit me at this point to introduce my drama family to you. Surely, you remember that I was an executive member of my fellowship and that I was the drama coordinator. Being drama coordinator meant that you had to create awareness about the fellowship. I had been told that we could even do skits in class you know. I thought this was a brilliant idea. We did a few skits in class. The first was an attempted spoken words. I didnât go well. Someone actually put on his microphone and asked if it was a Nigerian movie. I was so hurt and discouraged. But I was encouraged because three people who I had just met in law school for the first time believed in my idea and agreed to go with it: Ife, Fiyin and Tobi Babalola. We needed to do more skits for the different departments and their different activities. Two stand out for me. First was one done for the music department and a program they had coming up. Believe it or not, the whole class broke out singing and clapping. I was thrilled, shocked and worried that we would get reported. The second was an invitation to draft day. It was done by Blessed and all I can say was, he killed it with his acting. The turnout for the event was beyond massive. On the program of events for the fellowship, the drama department had its own service. Every single member brought their A game. We had spoken words, a dance, a drama and a dialogue. It was so good we were invited to a church to minister. Youâre probably wondering what type of law students we were but this was us and I loved every single one of them: Ife, Fiyin, Williams, Izunna, Vivian, Chdinma, Uche, Demola, Chike, Elizabeth, Korede and Chima. They were the best family and my greatest joy is that we all made it to the Bar.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 17.6px;">Yes, so four of us were posted to the same law firm with six other incredible people. Thereâs this belief that where there are a lot of girls in a place, and less guys, it is catastrophic. Our case was different. We were seven young ladies and three young men and for the most part, we got along really well. Getting along really well had its down sides. We were always talking. We had to consciously decide to take time to stop talking and read. At this point, I still hadnât finished making some of my notes but there was nothing I could do about that now. It was the middle of June and MCQs were close by. I decided to read and read the topics I hadnât formed and tried to write out what I could remember instead of forming a note. That way, I was sure I had read the topic at least once. I was still solving MCQs, I had started drafting as well. A few times, I got to look at past questions. MCQs were scheduled for the 21st of July and I had to as much as possible, get 20/20 in all the courses.</span><br />

For the non lawyers MCQ means multiple choice questions. It's a compulsory part of the bar part 2 examinations, and is usually administered in July/early August every year.<br />

<span style="font-size: 1.1em;">Stepping out of the airport and inhaling the dusty murky air that was Lagos state, I wasn't sure if I was still grateful to have been posted here for law school. The past week had been a mix of all sorts of emotions. From anticipation to fear, to worry and finally relief. My sisters had taunted me all week telling me that when my posting which had been delayed for a week finally comes out, I may be posted to Yola or Kano.</span><span style="font-size: 1.1em;"> </span><br />
<br />
I was finally posted on the 11th of November, 2016, to the Lagos campus of the Nigerian Law School. A few months before I was posted, that would have been depressing news as I was certain that I didn't want to go to Lagos. I heard they closed late and I really wasn't about to go through all that stress. I had had enough of bleeding hardwork in University. Obviously, Abuja was my ideal campus but God had other plans. <br />
At this moment, standing in the heat of Lagos with all sorts of people calling out to you to board their taxi, I was nostalgic. After about five minutes, my brother came through and picked me up. As a child, I had visited Lagos every holiday up till 2006. But I was a child and so I didnât fully appreciate this city. I expected to be stuck in traffic like all the stories I had heard but to my very surprise, it was a smooth ride from the airport to my brotherâs house. An hour later, I took all my things to my actual destination: the Nigerian Law School, Lagos campus.<br />

MY FIRST ENCOUNTER......<br />
Getting to law school, it was about 6:30pm and the hostels were dark. There was no power, the generator had not been turned on and there were students everywhere. I approached the hostel supervisor and introduced myself. I showed him all my documents proving that I had been posted to Lagos campus and that I needed a place to stay which they called ''temporary accommodation'' until I finished my registration and got an actual place to stay. The hostel supervisor responded in that lackadaisical way that Nigerians do that just upset me. He said to me ''ehhh, there's no temporary accommodation. There's nothing I can do about it. But go up and check. If you find a room, stay there.'' This was my first encounter with the Lagos campus of the Nigerian Law school. I was tired and couldn't honestly believe that he had just said that. Well, I was the one in need of a place to stay right?! I swallowed my annoyance and went in search of a room to stay. After going through what seemed like 20 rooms, I found nothing and came down. Since my brotherâs house wasn't so far away, it was my only other option.<br />

<span style="font-size: 1.1em;">THE NEXT DAY....</span><br />
Tuesday morning, I headed back to law school to attend the induction and to start my registration. All the lecturers and directors were seated dishing out many dos and donts to the all too eager students. Well most, if not all, were eager about the institution. I was already tired of the process before it had even begun (understand this, I donât like long speeches). I quickly found a seat at the back with my friends from University; Chisom and Chukwuemeka, and asked to catch up on what had already been said. Further to my right was Marcus, a friend I met the previous year at a CLASFON conference. One thing that struck me about it all was the enthusiasm of some of my mates. They were enamored by the simple fact that they were in this institution. For some, their enthusiasm remained till the very end. For others, the realities and the very nature of the institution crippled theirs.<br />
<br />
After about an hour of speeches and rule dishing, the real struggle began. We had to line up on this long queue to get out tellers changed to receipts. The process was the same with all administrative staff in this country. Hectic and unrealistic. The fact that it is something that is done every year leaves you confused as to why itâs still such a difficult process. Next, we moved to a different room to queue up and have our names ticked. We were also given codes on a piece of paper to access the Lagos campus website and fill in more details. It was either my lack of enthusiasm or the process was unnecessarily cumbersome. This is the 21st century and things should be easier. It took me about 3 days to finish my registration with the student affairs. After which I had to commence the registration in the hostel and the medical centre. At this point, I had found a place to stay temporarily on campus. The room over looked the Lekki-Epe expressway and the Lagos lagoon. At night, it was a beautiful sight to behold. But there was one major problem; the noise from the cars. All day long, cars were driving on that expressway, honking, drivers bickering and sometimes, there were accidents. Besides the noise though, I thought it was really beautiful. Plus, to be fair, this was Lagos and space was tight, you took whatever you were given with gratitude in your heart and moved on.<br />
<br />
Five Days of the Week in Lagos Campus...<br />
By the following Monday, lectures started. Before one could gain access into the hall, you had to thumbprint to record your attendance. This thumb printing machine was a seat of power to the non-academic staff. It was the one thing that gave them power right after their ability to issue you with a query. It was also when they scrutinized what you were wearing. Law school had its dress code, but if you were in their good books (however people got in there) you could honestly get away with wearing anything. Once it was 9am, all the machines stopped working. At least outside where they were kept. It was the norm to see students following the staff into their offices once it was past 9am and begging to be allowed to thumbprint. I canât tell you whether it worked in there or not, but you can try it for yourself.<br />
We had lectures every day of the week. I found myself in group eight because eight was the last digit in my registration number. Everyone had to sit with their groups and we had permanent seats.<br />
Sorry, Iâve said so much without introducing myself. My name is Chiderah Azodoh and I made a first class from my university. Can you already tell that it was expected that I should make a first class from Law school as well? That was the expectation everyone had of me so obviously, it became the expectation I had of myself. As the good student that I was trying to be, I came to class prepared. I had gotten some materials from Chisom. I had this application that had all the laws that we needed in law school so I was pretty ready for my first lecture.<br />
<br />
It was Monday and my first lecture was criminal litigation. Each course had its own day. My first day didn't seem bad at all. Our lecturer and Director, Mr Tijani took his time to do a proper build up of the course and what we should expect and what was expected of us. I was sure that there was nothing in law school that I couldn't handle. It was just school right. I was growing and so was my brain so this task was going to be easy to surmount. I spoke in class that day. A great feat for me because I was never really one to contribute in class when I was at the university unless...<br />
