dear parvenu shut the f**k up, can't u see the quotation mark? your dullness is worst than both Buhari and Halima who failed woefully in her first attempt despite her having all she needed to pass the exam which, pass mark is just "40".

Earlier today, news of president Buhari's daughter being called to bar circulated like wildfire on the internet, but there is seem to be something behind those glittering pictures.

It has been revealed that the people who were called to the Nigerian bar today are those who failed or had conditional passes from the last bar exams. Could it be that the president's daughter failed or had conditional pass?

Sweetlemon:
How many people here have not failed an exam or at anything before?
Some of the most successful people in the world have been known to fail not once, twice, three, four, or five times but many times. You have not failed until you give up!
Gani Fawehinmi graduated with a 3rd class from Law school or was it his LLB?

dimieprincess:

I have no problem with you liking what others do just because they are speaking what you felt is right. I just accepted your correction and also gave u a succinct explanation on why I seem so personal with the whole issue, I am surprised seeing you hailing someone for abusing me.
However, note I have never been a coward and not willing to start an apprenticeship programme now on how to become a coward. In others words, I ain't running away from any duel

dimieprincess:

not it seems, she failed that is why she sat for the re-sit. Today call to bar was strictly for re-sit students.
She dull like her father

omenka:
I just don't get it honestly!! What's the big deal in failing an exam then eventually passing?? There are countless reasons why people fail exams ranging from their inadequate intelligence to other external factors beyond their control- perhaps illness, etc.

Is the president's daughter not human??

Na wa oo!! Even woman sef dey hate like dis?

plaetton:

They raised me well.
That's why I never failed at any exams.

Keep making excuses for failure, and keep glorifying failure.
That's why Nigeria is today a failed state.

plaetton:


I raise my hands .

I had never failed an exam.
Neither did Gani.

Fail exams?

There is a reason why it's called an examination.
To test ability to think and solve problems.

Failure is failure.

UIA04:





By the way gani fawehinmi finished with a 2:2 from University .

PrinceMario:
****She failed last year and pass this year. So what's the big deal?
Peddling this around to make it a news shows how **** your life is. If you have had a glimpse of success, you would have known those you climb the ladder of achievement in life and attain very eminent success had one time or the other failed.
faliures like like you are the ones spending the most productive time of their lives making mockering of people far above them.

she had a resit in law school, but become a barrister today, such an accomplishment!
it is evident she learnt the never-give-up spirit from her Dad.
Barrister Halima Buhari we know, dimwit who are you
Defemidefemi abeg kum help me tell this one sey law noe be bean.

Well, not surprised at all.

Like father like daughter....Olodo family

Plaetton, Nigeria is not quite a failed state, but it is very nearly one. Be that as it may, Nigeria is where it is today because we are culturally hostile to failure. Nigerians don't necessarily glorify failure, they just pretend it doesn't exist because we treat it as a taboo. You only need to speak with carryover students from Nigerian universities to understand how society ostracises people who have failed...heck, you just have to read some comments on this thread. Alas, when failure is seen as a bad thing instead of the inescapable exemplification of human imperfection; as a thing of shame, instead of a thing to learn from, we are bound to shy away from trying (for fear of failure), then pretend we can't fail.
So you see, It's not the glorification of failure that makes Nigeria this mediocre, it's precisely the opposite: hostility towards failure.

I kinda get your point, but I disagree.

You can't rationalize FAILURE, make the rationalization of failure a sub-culture, and then expect to compete favorably in a competitive world.

If we continue to rationalize FAILURE, that mentality Rob's us of the necessary impetus needed to make corrections and move forward.

Just entertain yourself with the plethora of excuses our leaders at level rationalize for their many many failures.

How many of our past and present leaders have ever ever admitted a mistake, failure, a regret for their policies and actions ?

None.

Another good example.
Nigeria is a FAILED state.
Each time I say that , someone is quick to tell me that it's not, despite a universe of evidence pointing to the obvious fact.

hahn:


Nigeria IS a failed state.

Nigerians are simply excessively hypocritical.

Like I always say, "if you cannot admit you have a problem you will never be motivated to find a solution to it".

This is Nigeria's REAL problem.

Our inability to simply accept that indeed WE ARE FVCKED

Buhari paid e rats are on their way to this thread, mugus. U guys were trying to make mockery of others because u r not aware today call to bar was for "dullers" like Buhari.

babadee1:


Nigeria is not a failed state. That term has a specific definition in political science. According to the Fund for Peace, there are four criteria for defining a country as a failed state. If a country has a government that can legitimately initiate the use of force for maintaining law and order, if the govt can make collective decisions for the public, if the govt can provide basic public amenities and if the govt can interact fully with the international community then it is not a failed state.

babadee1:


We are not a failed state. There are neighbouring countries where their citizens are taking considerable risks to migrate to Nigeria every single day. Failure is a relative thing, but the term failed state has a very specific definition. Check out my earlier comment.

hahn:


Ok then. The opposite of FAIL is PASS. What areas can you can Nigeria has passed in?

plaetton:


OK.
Yahoooo!

Nigeria is exonerated from " failed state" status on semantic technicalities.

But to me , a Nigerian, Nigeria is a failed state.

Do you want me to list my reasons?

babadee1:


There is nothing like a passed state. I just gave you the definition of a failed state and I explained why Nigeria doesn't fall into that category. I know you are frustrated with Nigeria, we all are. But there are many Nigerians who have returned home from western countries and they are doing much better at here at home. Yes Nigeria has failed to live up to its potentials but it is not a failed country. It is still a land of opportunity for those who are patient and willing to make the necessary sacrifices.

If a country has a government that can legitimately initiate the use of force for maintaining law and order, if the govt can make collective decisions for the public, if the govt can provide basic public amenities and if the govt can interact fully with the international community then it is not a failed state.

babadee1:


There's no need to list reasons, we are all frustrated with the slow rate of progress in Nigeria. I don't know how old you are but I'm old enough to remember how things were in this country 20 to 25 years ago. There is no doubt that progress has been made even though it hasn't been up to the level it should be based on our potential in human and natural resources. But I have no doubt that Nigeria of the next 20 years will be by far better than it is today, if we all stop complaining and start playing our part.

hahn:


List the progresses that have been made

hahn:


I like the way you evaded my question "What areas can you can Nigeria has passed in?". Did you take peak milk today? Because it is in you



One strike out of three. Does it count?

Care to elaborate on the four criteria?

babadee1:


It's obvious unless you choose not to see it or you're too young to remember how things used to be.
