Speaking through Justice Adetokunbo Jibodu of the Ogun State High Court at the annual dinner organised by the Faculty of Law, Chrisland University, Abeokuta, on Saturday, Justice Dipeolu welcomed new law students and offered guidance on the expectations and challenges ahead.

She described the legal profession as both noble and highly rewarding, but emphasised that its training is rigorous and requires full commitment. According to her, students must reject distractions and embrace deep, consistent study if they hope to excel and distinguish themselves.

“The legal profession is inherently conservative and places a premium on discipline, diligence, and integrity,” she said. “Legal education is not just about passing exams — it’s the foundation for contributing meaningfully to a society governed by justice, fairness, and the rule of law.”

Justice Dipeolu encouraged the students to make the most of every academic and practical opportunity, including during court attachments. “When you begin your court programme, observe proceedings attentively and don’t hesitate to seek clarification after court sessions,” she advised.

Also speaking at the event, the university’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor Oyedunni Arulogun, urged the students to prepare mentally and emotionally for the rigours of the legal profession, stressing the importance of focus, dedication, and perseverance in the face of challenges.

In his keynote address, respected legal luminary and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Sola Ojutalayo (SAN), encouraged students to pursue not only academic excellence but also ethical integrity. He described the study of law as a lifelong calling to serve society and effect positive change.

“Law is more than a degree — it’s a responsibility. Success in this profession comes through sacrifice, consistency, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, even when no one is watching,” Ojutalayo said.

He further noted that the legal landscape is rapidly evolving, with lawyers now finding relevance beyond the courtroom in areas such as entertainment law, technology, intellectual property, data privacy, sports law, arbitration, and more.

In his welcome remarks, the Acting Dean of the Faculty of Law, Dr. Kayode Akinsola, described the event as a celebration of the faculty’s core values, accomplishments, and future aspirations. He assured the students that Chrisland University is fully equipped to produce world-class legal professionals.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.

Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.

“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.

He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”

Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.

He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.

“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.

In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.

“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
