The Nigerian Law School recorded its highest failure rate since its 50 years of existence in the recently released 2013/2014 August bar examination. Out of the 5000 candidates who sat for the examination,only about 2000 candidates passed. One of the major reasons that has been given for the abysmally poor performance was the new Director-General of Law School's decision to review the pass mark of the exam from 40% to 50%; a decision informed by his unwavering determination to improve on the standard of the Nigerian Law School,and stem the production of half-baked lawyers in Nigeria.
Many of the affected students have called for a review of the results. According to one student,'' people worked so hard for the exams,these same people have invested their life savings for the exam, and the DG who is responsible for this mass failure doesn't see reasons with these people. He said he is raising the standards but what we see is a high standard of failure.'' Another aggrieved student contributed that: ''Do we say 3000 students paid 300,000 naira school fees ,then prepared to fail?''

FOUR MORE PDP YEARS,DOOM FOR NIGERIA-----------BUHARI
The former Head of State and presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress[APC], Maj.Gen. Muhammadu Buhari [retd] told The Punch newspaper on Saturday in Kaduna State that another four years of Peoples Democratic Party's rule would spell doom for the country. Buhari said he was ''personally concerned'' about the alleged deliberate plot by the ruling party to use religion and ethnicity to destroy the country.
The presidential aspirant,who spoke at a northern APC stakeholders interactive meeting in Kaduna, insisted that the greatest problem facing the country was not religion or tribal differences,but a deliberate plot by the PDP-led government to use religion and ethnicity to polarise it for selfish gains ahead of the 2015 general elections. While saying 2015 should be another year of concern for Nigerians, Buhari stated that another four years of PDP would send Nigeria down the drain.

JUDGE MASIPA WILL MOST LIKELY JAIL OSCAR PISTORIUS ON TUESDAY
INDICATIONS have emerged that Judge Thokozile Masipa will likely hand over a prison sentence to the disgraced South African athlete and paralympian, Oscar Pistorius on Tuesday morning when the much-anticipated sentencing will be handed down. This is largely due to the extremities of the two postures of both his defense counsel led by the unflappable and exceptionally brilliant Barry Roux, and the State prosecutor led by the sarcastic, mean Gerrie Nel. While the defense pleaded for 3 years house arrest punctuated by community service, the prosecutor described this as ''shockingly disproportionate'' and recommended 10 years prison term for the hopeless sprinter.
OOB sources in Pretoria, South Africa where the sentence will be done revealed that the Judge will likely steer the middle course by jailing Oscar for definitely less than 10 years,probably 5 years. This claim is also corroborated by legal analysts OOB spoke to.
In the next 48 hours,Oscar will be put out of his misery by knowing his fate.The whole world is waiting.

MAXIMUM 6 MONTHS SENTENCE FOR CYBER TROLLS INCREASED TO TWO YEARS
INTERNET trolls who subject victims to sarcastic abuses now to face two years jail term under a tough British Government crackdown,instead of the present 6 months.This harsher sentences are to be introduced following a rash of disgusting,high-profile cases,including rape threats made against model,Chloe Madeley last week.Justice Secretary Chris Grayling revealed to The Mail On Sunday that the maximum six month sentence for internet abuse will be quadrupled.
Miss Madeley was targeted after her mother Judy Finnigan made sensitive statement about the footballer and convicted rapists Ched Evans,a remark which swarmed the blogoshere and generated a great deal of interest in the social media.Miss Madeley welcomes the move,saying that the most sickening remarks amounted to ''online terrorism.'' According to Mr Chloe,''these internet trolls are cowards who are poising our national life.No one would permit such venom in person,so there should be no place for it in the social media. That is why we are determined to quadruple the current six-month sentence..''
Currently,offenders who subject their victims to sexually offensive,verbally abusive or threatening material on the internet can only be prosecuted in magistrates courts under the Malicious Communications Act,which carries a maximum prison sentence of six months. But the planned changes will allow magistrates to pass on serious cases to the crown courts,where offenders would face a maximum of 24 months.

DEAR SOLA: I AM PREGNANT FOR MY BOSS
MY husband lost his job last year as a banker with one of the new generation banks in Nigeria. He was a victim of the downsizing which many Nigerian banks embraced in order to stay in business. For the past 14 months now,all his efforts to get another job have yielded no dividend. As a result,the responsibility of taking care of him and our three children fell on my frail shoulders.My monthly salary of 60000 naira as a proofreader with a publishing company, BlackWorld Publishers,Lagos,Nigeria was barely enough to take care of our basic needs.
One morning, my boss[the Publisher] summoned me to his office.On getting there,he expressed his undying love for me,and told me to be having a clandestine love affair with him. He promised to shower me with love and care. His amorous advances became so persistent that I eventually succumbed.Since he is a married man,he couldn't invite me to his matrimonial home. We normally met at an highbrow hotel tucked in a desolate street,far from the prying eyes of the public. He kept his promise,and gave me lump sums of money periodically. My husband noticed the change in the family's fortunes. I lied to him I have been promoted at my place of work and my salary has been tripled. He is too relieved by the financial cushion to probe further.
My boss and I had sex regularly.I must confess that after overcoming my initial scruples,I began to enjoy the love making intensely. We normally had unprotected sex;he disliked using condoms. Two months ago,my husband travelled to Abuja to try his luck on his job hunting.He put up with his Abuja-based younger brother who is still single. 6 weeks after his temporary relocation,I discovered that I am pregnant. Definitely,my husband who has not slept with me for the past 3 months is not responsible for the pregnancy. My boss has impregnated me.When I informed him,he kicked against the idea of abortion.He asked me to keep the pregnancy.
OOB readers, the writer needs your advice. Over to you.

OKOTIE LACKS MORAL RIGHT TO QUESTION ORITSEJAFOR-------CAN
OOB's submission on this matter is that in as much as I agree that Pastor Okotie definitely lacks the moral compass to criticise any christian for that matter, an association as big and as sensitive as CAN needs a President who is devoid of any controversy,unlike Ayo Oritsejafor.
