Today I was called to the Nigerian Bar. My mother was seated. My dad wasn’t.

He held my hand through every version of me the boy learning to walk, the teenager figuring out who he wanted to be, the law student drowning in casebooks, the son sitting by his bedside those last few nights. He held it until the night before he left. That’s the kind of love I got to have. Not everyone does.

One of the last things I told him was that I’d become a lawyer. He said “congratulations.” That’s it. No long speech, no grand moment just my father, proud, in one word. I didn’t know it would be one of our last conversations. I’m grateful I told him in time

Man is not God, and God is not man. My father couldn’t stay no matter how much I needed him to, and there’s a kind of peace I’m still learning to make with that that even the people who feel infinite to us are still just men, on loan to us for a while. He wasn’t meant to stay forever. He was only ever meant to be here for now.

And maybe that’s the whole lesson. The present is the only gift we actually get. Not the future I imagined with him in it, not the past I keep replaying just now. So today, robes and all, I’m choosing to just be. To feel this fully the pride and the grief together, because they came from the same place.

Dad, I hope you’re proud. I hope somehow you already know. I love you, and I love the family you built that’s still holding me up. This one’s for you.

I'm a big fan of academic excellence.

And I spend a generous amount of my time hyping academically excellent people.

Offa-born Law Graduate, Israel Adekunle Adeniyi Emerges Nigeria Law School Best Graduating Student

An Offa-born legal scholar, Israel Adekunle Adeniyi has added another remarkable milestone to his outstanding academic journey by emerging as the Best Overall Male Student at the Nigerian Law School.

He's from Ile Eso Pataki Compound, Offa, Kwara State.

Adeniyi's latest feat crowns a series of exceptional academic accomplishments that have distinguished him from his peers from secondary school through university and the Nigerian Law School.

He is the former Head Boy of Offa Grammar School (OGS), Class of 2018.

Israel Adekunle Adeniyi graduated from OGS with an outstanding aggregate of six credits, earning seven As and two Bs in the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE).

He proceeded to the University of Ilorin, where he studied Law and graduated in 2024 with a First Class Honours degree.

He also emerged as the Best Graduating Student (BGS) of the Faculty of Law with a CGPA of 4.83, the highest ever recorded in the history of the Faculty.

Adeniyi enrolled at the Lagos Campus of the Nigerian Law School, where he once again distinguished himself academically by emerging as the overall Best Graduating Student.

His exceptional academic trajectory, from secondary school to the university and the Nigerian Law School, has attracted widespread commendation from members of the legal profession, education stakeholders, and the Offa community, who have described his achievements as a source of pride for Kwara State and Nigeria.

First contact with Isreal was when he won all 10 Art class prizes in SS1 in (OGS) 2015- Offa was shocked.

Isreal, Jamiu and I were considered to be the best art students in Offa in 2018. I am the only one who eventually didn't study Law. Jamiu is in Law school, rooting for him.

You need to see the joy on olodos' faces when a very academically sound person doesn't succeed in life. They relish it. It's almost as if it gives them more reasons to talk down on education and intelligence.

When we were graduating, after I finished as the top student in my class, many of my coursemates were really eager to see how I would turn out. In fact, I would always hear them gossiping: "No be by Best Graduating Student. To make am for life no be by acada. Street na military. We go see."

I'm glad I turned out really well. Even most of those who went to Ghana for "updates" after school and eventually resorted to fraud can't measure up to my accomplishments. Till today, many of them still randomly call me and jokingly ask, "Senior man, you just dey chop dey go. You no wan give men update na!"

Deep down, they genuinely believe I must be secretly involved in fraud. This is the society we live in, where many young people have come to believe that you can't succeed legitimately, and that every young man who is doing well for himself must be involved in fraud. Even many elderly people and police officers aren't exempt from this line of thinking.

I haven't seen a country that is trying so hard to make education unattractive like ours.

"School na scam."

"No be by BSc. You get BTC?"

"Education is the key to success. Oya, use the key start Benz na 😂."

"Lecturer pack 1999 Camry, student don pack Lexus beside am."

If we continue this way, in a few years, there will be nothing left of our educational system. We are so money-centred that we don't even realize education can be an end in itself and not necessarily just a means to an end.

Everything has become, "How much do you have in your account?" or "Use your intelligence buy Benz na."

This is one of the reasons it really hurts me to see highly intelligent and brilliant people end up poor. I'm always rooting for academically sound people to succeed because I genuinely want people, especially young people, to see that you can make it legitimately through hard work and academic excellence.

Any society where only the olodos become financially successful while the brighter minds, the ones who believe in due process, continue to struggle is a society that is bound to fail.

Stella Okoli, the founder of Emzor Pharmaceuticals, how Obasanjo always engaged all the manufacturers in Nigeria.

During Obasanjo 's regime, all manufacturers in Nigeria used to have a meeting with the president in Aso Rock every Saturday.

The meeting was to discuss about manufacturers' challenges and how to drive the economy forward.

It was during that time he assisted Otedola,Tony Elumelu and Dangote.

That meeting quietly fizzled out and none is being held today.
