As part of my CLE, I decided to review all the law texts and subjects we were taught in school and consider this.

By Jamb, our course of study is "Law" right?

Then we entered school and we saw "Legal Method" (of course, by our secondary school mind legal and law mean the same thing, right?)

Hence "legal method" will by our secondary school mind mean "Law method", right?

But look at all the explanation/definition of "Legal Method" now that one is a lawyer, it is not "Law Method".

It is about "SOMETHING CONNECTED OR A RELATION (PAPA, MAMA, ENEMY, FRIEND, PIKIN, NEIGHBOUR ETC) OF LAW.

BUT NOT THE LAW ITSELF.

Eg Google LawLane, you would see it saying

"The phrase ‘’legal method’’ contains two words – ‘’Legal’’ and ’’method’’. The word ‘’legal’’ means something relating to law.

A.O Sanni of Unilag also said

"The phrase 'legal method' is made up of two words -'legal' and 'method.' The word "method," in ordinary parlance, means a way of doing something or the quality of being well planned and organized. The word "legal," which is an adjective, connotes something connected with the law.

Same is seen in various law texts "Something Connected" or "Something Related".

So I humbly ask, did they teach "Law Method"?

For clearly, it can be seen that by the definitions/explanations, "Legal" is not "Law!

Or am I wrong?

So lawyers, help me do justice to it. Sophritebenitez, and others whose names I do not remember at the moment, what do you think.

Even you, the ordinary reasonable man on the street, you are welcome to comment.

Now, it is very noticeable that immediately after that trick of "Legal.. something" which is not "The Law" Method or something which we all came to learn, the law texts then divert and somersaulted to "What is Law/Meaning of Law"!!!

How can they do this?

Is the course not "Legal Method" again? (and they have clearly explained to us that "legal" is not the same as Law"? For "legal" IS ONLY AN ATTACHMENT, like a virus to a file and the File is Law, which we came to study but they are making us study the virus)

Therefore, should the next topic not be "What is Legal/Meaning of Legal?" and not "What is Law/Meaning of Law".

Why did they switch over to Law when they did not start with Law?

And the focus was not on Law but on the Attachment called "legal"!

Am I the only one sees and who smells a fraud and deceit here?

Also, a colleague just pointed me to another fact which proves that it is not Law that we were being trained to study.

This is seen in the fact that supposed lawyers mostly call themselves "Legal Practitioners" instead of "Law Practitioners"

"Law" texts mostly read eg "Nigerian Institute of Advanced LEGAL Studies" (not law studies)

Legal Education, NOT LAW EDUCATION.

Legal ethics, NOT LAW ETHICS etc.

Yet they say they are "Lawyers" instead of "Legallers"!

My People check it, is it kwarect? Help me see, if you can find someone out there who can validy clear out these discrepancies and misrepresentations.

Please, lawyers, reeducate this person, please.

Call O, I have called, both general and specific Legallers that I have seen here but none answers.

So call O, may be they are sleeping or have travelled.

I be waiting, if there be any Legaller, who can prove the Authenticity of their "Legality", but all flee.

Wow, just wow. SMH.

If you really are a lawyer or studied law you should go back and get a refund, your lecturers have failed you.

LordReed:

If you really are a lawyer or studied law you should go back and get a refund, your lecturers have failed you.

That is my Point, they do not Truly teach Law.

They taught and teach Legal!

And, on refund, this is where Shifu's statement's flip side meaning, answers. "A man often meets his destiny, in the road which avoided it"!

Sure!

In Nigeria, it is teaching we get. Study, follows the direction of the teaching, hence AOC. (Area of Concentration).

And everyone knows, if you provide any information that is beyond the Lecturers Desired Answer, YOU WILL FAIL!

i learnt this only in year 3 when a sweet friend took time out to examine how i addressed exam questions and acknowledged that my observations were accurate, however, I MUST STICK TO GIVING THE LECTURER, TGE THE ANSWER HE SAYS IS THE ANSWER, EVEN IF IT IS WRONG. AND THAT WHEN I BECOME A LAWYER LEGALLER, I CAN RE-EXAMINE ALL THESE ISSUES AND CHALLENGE THEM.

Which is what I am now doing, And will always do!

So, back to the Case!

You never did say where you got your law degree.

You are not in school anymore where you blindly believed what you were taught instead of asking and knocking and seeking, which is what study is, so why don't you free your mind and use it instead of peddling what you claim to have been taught?

budaatum:

I could have as well put forth my name, D.O.B, schools attended, work experience, what I ate this morning etc.

You are obviously afflicted with both amnesia and cataract such that you do not see nor remember YOU SAID "...instead of asking...",

Meanwhile, I clearly asked, saying,

"So I humbly ask, did they teach "Law Method"?

For clearly, it can be seen that by the definitions/explanations, "Legal" is not "Law!

Or am I wrong?

So lawyers, help me do justice to it Sophritebenitez, and others whose names I do not remember at the moment, what do you think."

So, you see now, you talk foolishly.

Ok, you've said your piss, you can shit off now!

Dt, I am not talking about this thread alone, but about the threads you've created to assert what you had been taught instead of the reasoning of your own mind.

That's what lawyers learn. How to ask and knock and seek and learn to reason with their own heart and soul and mind and being instead of regurgitating the nonsense they have been taught, which is why I ask only of the school you claim to have learnt your law.

It might just be you were badly schooled, as many point out to you.

LordReed:

You should go to the Supreme Court or the National Assembly to argue, not Nairaland.

"Let's start at the very beginning
A very good place to start.
When you read you begin with A-be-see
When you sing you begin with do-re-mi."

So, Nairaland is also part of my A,B,C and Do-re-mi. Testing!

Paul will say, "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, darkly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known."

Here's the Abami Eda's version.

THIS IS NOT TRUE!
The bulk of my threads are a presentation of My Own Reasoning on the subject, in comparison with what we are taught.

AND YOU KNOW THIS, for you severally attacked My Reasoning, AND NOT "what i had been taught"!

So, you speak not Truly, as you can sometimes choose to do, when you see you have no valid way of proceeding with the argument.

Just hear yourself!

But who has ever USED square root in solving any natural problem that we have met?

No one!

So why burden ordinary little folks with it?

Only one answer stands clearly above all, which is, TO SHAKE AND DISTURB THE CONFIDENCE WE HAVE OBTAINED FROM RECEIVING KNOWLEDGE.

budaatum:


Dt, if what you present is your reasoning then you need to go back to primary school.

If you were not able to identify that, that was My Reasoning as different from "what is taught" then, your schooling was a complete nullity.

And of course, the people there saw that you were complaining because you could not validly refute my observation and presentation.

So, you really do not have any thing valuable to contribute, so you can run along.

You "wanted", but never asked?

Some asked and chopped the knock on the head and so went asking and knocking and seeking for ourselves, dt.

"Teacher teacher o, abi na lecturer be your name, make u no teach me, I go know!"

budaatum:

Experience has also taught us to wait, may be such questions may be answered.

Which I looked out for as the course went on and they were never answered, rather, more questions got added to them.

And as you can see, NONE CAN ANSWER BOTH HERE AND OFF LINE.

And, that is the value of their SILENCE!

I dunno why you here celebrating when you could be making the case to either to the NBA, the National Assembly or the Supreme Court. I know if you tried you'd be laughed out but since you are so confident go there and stop acting smug here.
