But what is happening now could have arisen from the lower rung of their education. If their WAEC/NECO certificate states that they passed at credit level in English who would stop them from gaining admission to read Law? The probable cause is that Nigeria is beginning to lack seriously good teachers in English Language; a teacher who knows very little in English cannot give to his students anything more than he knows. Similarly, how did the law lecturers pass these students both at the academic and professional stages? That’s a very important question begging the mind. It is quite difficult to tell somebody ‘adjudged’ to be a ‘qualified’ lawyer to stoop down and begin to learn ‘O’ Level English! Do you know what this might do to their ego?
