The United Kingdom's (UK) Milton
Keynes Trading Standards
department has commenced
investigations into the controversy
surrounding a Nigerian national,
Dr. Tina Beloveth Powerful, who
runs a university
from a city centre flat in North Third
Street in CMK. Dr. Beloveth Powerful,
whose school is named Havard School
UK, has also been sued by the American
university of almost the same name.

A spokesman for Trading Standards
confirmed that the Nigerian is under
investigation but refused to give details.
"As it is an ongoing investigation we
cannot comment in detail about it," he
said.
Media reports, however, suggest the
trading standards investigation may
involve false claims on Havard's website
that the school is affiliated to the
Institute of Administrative Management.
The wording on the school's website has
been changed to read "is to be accredited
to."
However, Dr. Beloveth Powerful insists
she has not done anything wrong, adding
that she was on a "mission from God to
help people study."

"I have six degrees myself, two of them
from Nigeria where I came from," she
said in a report. "I transformed my life
and God has given me power to
transform others'."

The Nigerian claimed she is not aware of
the trading standards investigations into
Havard.

America's Harvard University files
suit
Dr. Powerful, whose school is named
Havard School of Management and
Technology UK, is also being sued by
Harvard University of the US. The
American university, which name differs
from Dr. Powerful's institution by just a
letter, is suing for alleged trademark
infringement.

But Dr Powerful is counter-claiming for
£2 million – the money, she says, she
has spent so far on setting up her school.
"A good name is better than silver and
gold," she said. "Having said that, we are
telling them we want to step aside but we
have spent money in advertising,
marketing and productions."

The 46-year-old Nigerian also denied
claims she caused academic confusion by
calling her school Havard, explaining
that the name 'Havard' was from her
grandfather.
"My paternal grandfather's first name
was Havard. I chose to immortalise his
name. I never thought about Harvard,"
she said.
