All these three people are nonentities. They are corporate idiots. Unlearned people, who are created with no brains. Their mental capacities are permeable. They cannot think. They cannot reason. They don’t know their right hand from their left. They are soulless people. That is why they are not successful in their different endeavours. And that is why they need another stream of incomes to shore up their wobbling careers. And that is why, in their old age, they rushed to a private university surreptitiously to study law, which we believe their kinds of brains cannot cope with.
See that Dino, a man whose sense is just like that of a rabbit. A boy who cannot think well. A small boy who cannot comprehend legislative rules. A man who cannot speak good English. He cannot read and write. He does not understand the logic. He cannot assimilate philosophy. He was not even vibrant when he was in the Senate. He was sedentary throughout. He was not a radical. He could not move a motion, not to talk of driving a bill to a law. He is a weakling in anything he does. A coward of a man; a man who cannot stand to address the President of just the Senate, is it that fellow who wants to become a lawyer?
Is that a fellow who wants to stand before the mighty judge in an awe-filled law court? He does not know that the law profession is not made for people who do gra gra. He forgot that gra gra or hyperactivity is not good for the law profession. He has forgotten that those who should study law should not be visible in the public, while in the school. He has forgotten that law is a cult, only to be studied by the initiates. He has forgotten that while in the university studying law, he should not engage in other activities than reading jurisprudence or reading contract. He is banned from making videos that went viral on the net. He has forgotten that while studying law, he should not even laugh or smile in the public. He has forgotten that while in the university studying law, he should not even romance his wives or kiss his girlfriends!
Just because he is studying law, he should sequester himself from the public or social glare. Foolish Dino! He has forgotten that law course is not made for everyone, but for the very few people who are recluse; only the quiet ones who live an ascetic life is to study law. Law is only for the monks. He does not know that it is trite in law that when you are about studying law, you should climb up to the tallest minaret or MTN mast in Nigeria and announce that ‘I, Dino Melaye, a proud son of Kabba, see me studying law at a private university ooo.’ Foolish boy!
See that Chidoka too, a man whose brain can only acquire a PhD in Transport Management, how can such fellow assimilate law course? A dunce, whose brain can manage Federal Toad Safety Corps, FRSC, and a backyard Ministry of Aviation as a mere minister, passing law examination? Arrant nonsense. He has no brain to read. He cannot logically deliver a 10-minute speech. He is not fluent in speech. How can that fellow pass the almighty law class?
For Uba, he is also a man who cannot coordinate his thoughts well. He cannot read well. He cannot memorise a sentence. Can he even read at all? A man whose mental capability is only to manage and administer companies that registered with CAC, which complied with CAMA and companies which are significant players at Stock Exchange, how can such a man pass law courses?
They have forgotten that Law is not a course for just human beings who can read, assimilate, understand and transmit. They have forgotten that law is made for the superhumans. Law is made for extraterrestrial beings. Law is not made to be studied by popular men. Law should not be studied by men of means and affluence. Law is a course for the super brained few. Law is forbidden to be studied by those who have accomplished in other endeavours…just because ‘they cannot have any brain to comprehend Law of Contract, Jurisprudence, Torts, Matrimonial Causes, Philosophy, Property and Land Law, ‘which only angels could comprehend. Nonsense!
