SCHOOL UNFOLDING II

On a Saturday afternoon, I was woken up from sleep by a multitude of female students in Moremi Hall screaming, and I hate to be woken in a harsh manner from sleep. What was the reason for this noise: A 400L Law Student had attacked a fellow Muslim student with a sharp knife and was telling everyone around that she was going to kill this Muslim student come what may (this babe wants to invite Boko Boys to Unilag o), and no one should try to stop her.....killing someone is a criminal offense but I guess this girl already knows the law and can defend herself well, since she is a law student and has knowledge about the law to a considerable level.

Finally I got to know what was the cause of the violent attack, the said 400L student was corrected by the Muslim babe not to dirty her bed, this said 400L student is even a squatter, putting herself and her 'squatee' in great danger. I don't see how correcting someone became a criminal offense in Nigeria and why you should be threatened.

This scene lasted for almost thirty minutes, and when seen that her fellow rommies could not stop her, porters and security officer in the hostel were called to do justice to the situation, taking away the 'knife babe', her squatee, the Muslim girl and anyone willing to be an eye witness.

The consequence of such act is that both squatter and squatee get evicted from the hostel and given severe punishment from the school authority. But I wonder what will make a man want to kill his fellow man. the act of killing is a deliberate action on anyone's part and takes both courage and anger to carry out. But imagine if a lawyer is to be the one killing people, who would be the one to defend us, or better still imagine such a lawyer in court and the accused is misbehaving and not answering the question correctly, or the judge makes a decision that decision doesn't concur to the standard of the lawyer as he/she was taught in Law School.... hmmmm I can only imagine.


If lawyers can't defend us who will????
