This is what Tinubu tried to do with a woman's papers but he was making so much money from drugs that he didn't conclude his academic journey and so has no certificate to show. If only he has taken his o level maths and English when Chicago asked him too and none of this certificate saga would have made the light of day. Too bad Kingrshd3: 2 Likes |

Why not take an online program? There are lots of verified online universities that can give you a high-quality law education. They may be free of physical lectures but make no mistake, they are equally intensive and thorough. 3 Likes |

You can do it. Do not allow anyone to discourage from achieving your dreams. You are not the first and you won't be the last. There's no time specified for people to stop going to school. The quest for education is unending. There are University Linkage Programmes you can apply for and get your desired degree. All you need is determination, persistence and focus. 3 Likes |

opicgif: Depending on your financial status and capacity; you can study law in some UK universities, through online/part-time studies e.g. University of London, University of Liverpool etc. You can also find out schools in Nigeria that offer such programmes, although I think NUC was trying to stop part-time law programmes in Nigerian universities. If you live or work in a university town/city, it may be much easier 2 Likes |

Go to Gregory University in Uturu, Abia State. Their fees is 1.8M for law annually. They're very good |

I know someone who went back to school to study medicine at age 42( He studied chemistry and has a masters degree in industrial chemistry). He is now a medical doctor. He's been a doctor since 2019. 9 Likes 1 Share |

opicgif: Ex-Babcock here. The Law campus is on a different property than the main campus. At 40 and with a family, I'm almost certain they'd let you live "off-k". It's located in a village though so have a plan for how your wife would work and what school your kids would attend. BU (as we call it) has a secondary school called BU High School (BUHS) which is a good school if you ask me. 2 Likes |

dalaman: 42 for medicine! That's a really long shot though. Medicine require almost 12 years to specialize. By 54, he'd be due for retirement in 6 years. I guess you have to do what you have to do. I've toyed with going back to school to study medicine specializing in General Surgery. I never motivated myself enough to get it started. This was 9 years ago. Of I had, I probably would have been nearing the end of specialization by now. 2 Likes |

opicgif: This actually depends on what you want to do with the law cert. If it's about practicing, then it looks too late to make sense of that profession by the time you are called to the bar. Don't compare the situation with Amaechi, please. There's absolutely nothing he wants to do with the degree. Most likely, he only wanted to juggle his brain. Like I said earlier, it all depends on what you want to do with the cert. So, you may want to go Amaechi way. Frankly, I won't support you to do this now. It's gonna be a pure money waste. Instead go for something advanced in your career or go for IT. Don't go wasting your time studying something that even right now has no meaning in the country. 4 Likes 1 Share |

opicgif: Brother I understand you perfectly I will advise you use private universities where the admission is easy, if the finance is there. But I can also assure you that with the current academic policies on ground ASUU strike will not occur even in the next 15 years, federal and state universities tuition fees are affordable, but the chances of getting admission is very tight. Like in the University of Port Harcourt if you score at least 290 in ur jamb and least 250 in ur post UTME, admission is very possible 1 Like |
