Festus, in a viral tweet on X, noted that he began studying for his bar finals four weeks before the due date. On his result breakdown, Festus admitted that he does not just feel hurt, but feels worse than he felt in 2021. In his words:
"Finally summoned the courage to apply for my law school result breakdown.
"I started reading barely 4 weeks to bar finals. I feel terribly hurt, worse than what I felt in 2021."
Festus' result breakdown showed he finished Nigerian Law School with a second-class lower degree, scoring 'B+' in civil litigation, criminal litigation and professional ethics and skills; an 'A' in corporate law practice and a 'C' in property law practice.
Why lawyer started studying late
Responding to a netizen in the comment section who wanted to know why he started studying for his bar finals late, Festus said he faced hard times at the time, and as such, studying for an exam was the last thing on his mind.
"I was facing hard times during coronavirus pandemic of 2020. Reading was the least of my worries. We resumed NLS in Feb and left March 2020. We resumed law school in Feb and wrote bar exam in March. The online class itself was a “lie”. We had our way, anyways."
