He said he was admitted to the King's College in London for his master's degree in law when he had already been offered admission to the Nigerian law school.

Amaechi speaks on life outside of politics

The former minister also said he was doing another first degree in law at the University of London.

He said:

"I did my last exam last year in October, and you will be shocked that I failed two courses. Out of five, I failed two. Because I was combining Nigerian law school, I was doing a master in law, corporate and company law, and then I was doing an LLB programme at the university of London."
