Hello Favoured, What are you relating to? Is your question, if you are qualified for an LLM at the Nigerian law school with an LLB and Masters in your pocket?
The answer is yes.
The answer is yes.

The answer is not a straight yes. The course content plays a role. Rusia is not a commonwealth country. Council of Legal Education will have to determine whether the syllabus of the Russian school meets the minimum contents or not.

Hello teelawal,
Good to know. Didn't he say that following his LLB in Russia he is also going to do a Master in the UK prior to applying at Nigerian law school? Would that not be sufficient? If not, just out of interest - what type of syllabus would a student have to follow to be accepted at Nigerian Law School?

What law school will do is to look at the courses you took and see whether you have taken the basic courses.
The other leg of this is the grading system. Law school will ascertain whether a 2:1 in that school is the same as 2:1 from any of the Nigerian universities.
All these will be ascertained first.
Once you are cleared, you will be admitted for Bar 1 programme first. It is after you passed the Bar 1 courses that you will proceed to Bar 11, after which you will be called to the Nigerian bar.

Hi! Am currently studying law at national open university of Nigeria, and am in my finals, a sad news got to law students of that school that we would not be able to go to law school because we are running our education on distance learning, I am in my finals and this news came late. My question is can I go for masters in law in a full time university and use my results from masters to apply for law school, if not what is the way forward because right now am confused, am not getting younger...please help I need your advice...thanks
