UNILAG students cry out over long questions

She posted a video of herself on TikTok holding the question paper she was given during the test.

According to her, this was a test and not an exam, but the test questions were set in the style of a real exam. She expected that there would be enough time to solve them—at least 2 hours, or 30 minutes for each question.

@remi.in.motion shared her frustration in the video.

Her statement:

"Being a law student in UNILAG is so demoralizing at times because what was this? This is a test question, by the way.
"This is no. 1, this is number 2. See how No. 2 is very long, and guess what, they said answer all in 45 minutes.
"These are exam-standard questions. Normally in exams, you get 2 hours, 30 minutes for each question. So if they give us exam-standard questions, why don't they just give us 1 hour or 1 hour and 30 minutes to do this? I'm so angry because not only is this question long, but it is also very confusing. Even till today, people are still arguing about what the correct answer is."

She spoke further in the video, explaining that she understood the question but didn't answer it because there wasn't enough time to do so.

@remi.in.motion continued:

"I understood the question, but I didn't have the time to try my best. When I saw this question, I was not expecting it to come out. When I saw the question, all the cases that I had already read just flew out of my head; only the principles were left.
