Aviation Minister Stella Oduah will not respond to allegations that she listed in her resume an academic qualification that she might not have obtained, an aide said yesterday.

Ms. Oduah is being accused of falsely claiming to have a Master's Degree in Business Administration from a U.S. college, because the college says it never offered that course.

Attempts by Daily Trust to speak with the minister's office on Tuesday failed as her aides did not answer calls or respond to text messages.

Yesterday, a spokesman for aviation parastatals, Mr. Yakubu Dati, who also speaks for the minister, told the BBC Hausa radio that they have decided not to respond to the accusations against Ms. Oduah.

He did not give reasons for that.

Online portal, Sahara Reporters, on Monday quoted authorities at St. Paul's College, where Ms. Oduah claimed she studied for Bachelor's and Master's Degrees, as saying they did not award an MBA at any time as the university does not even have a graduate school or programme.

On Tuesday, Premium Times said it observed an attempt by the minister's aides to revise her profiles on the web to clean up any reference to St. Paul's College in her bios.

Oduah had recently been enmeshed in the bulletproof cars purchase scandal, over which the House of Representatives has demanded her sack.

She told Daily Trust over a week ago that the armoured cars were leased and not purchased.

For people like me, who are sitting on the fence on this issue, this decision by Stella Oduah has pushed us to the side of believing the allegation against her. It is very simple to simply set the record straight by providing the name of the institution which conferred a MBA degree on her, while publicly condemning Sahara Reporters and her many enemies. There is only one reason why Oduah is unable to do just that. Go figure. SMH

slimghost:

Nonsense! She has a lot of work to do and shouldn't waste her time responding to any cheap lies and propaganda brought forth by low life dimwits!!!

Polio:

Moro..n!

She has a lot of work to do... How much work has she done so far and how do you know her workload?

Are you her SPA or work in her office in any other capacity?!

It doesnt take more than 30 minutes to come out and clear the air on serious allegations levied against from all angles.

It is a challenge not big enough for a high profile public office holder...

Use your fu..cking head and think outside of the box... It is the right thing to do!

eGuerrilla: It is funny how her CV is at odds with the citation presented to the senate

MBA in 1982-1983 (Citation)
NYSC in 1982-1983 (CV)

Until Madam clears the air herself, I am taking the following positions:

(1) No MBA exists
(2) No NYSC discharge certificate exists

slimghost:
Why not go to the NYSC HQ's in Abuja and find out if she ever served this Country?. The information is there, stop waiting for her to respond to any silly accusation by some nitwits.

slimghost:

Silence is exactly what you and your fellow fucktards need and she is serving it to you imbecilic nitwits right. Moronic ding-bag.

Polio:

Silence in the scheme of things is not the sensible thing to do, you fu..cking pleb. Get that into your thick skull.

You raggedy as..s bootlicker, tell your boss, she needs to come out and set the records straight.

Till then, you and her are nothing but a pathetic frame of lies, deceit, incompetence phlegm laden oxymoro..ns!

eGuerrilla:

If my pronouncement on this issue unduly exercises your limited cerebral matter, get your madam to set the records straight.

slimghost:

Brainless douche-bag! FYI, imbecilic fucktards like you and your ilks do not deserve a response from the honorable Minister. Any sane mind knows what these attacks on her is all about. Now do the needful and go and die!. senseless urchin!

slimghost: double post.

slimghost:

Why not help us set the record straight by sourcing for information and facts on the issue instead of dealing with endless assumptions and half truths?. She will remain a minister until whenever GEJ and sane Nigerians deem her incompetent enough. She won't quit because a particular wants her to do so, so please tell your pay masters to do something reasonable with their time instead of sponsoring endless propaganda against this woman. Shalom!!

Polio:

More pot shots from the resident nitwit.

Ok, let's get it on.

Any sane mind knows what these attacks on her is all about, what are they all about you flipping plank head?!

Tell us .... Its a challenge... Make sure you have facts to substantiate your claims if you are going to take up the challenge ... No conjectures or unfounded collection of crap.

I dont expect you to take up the challenge tbh, because i have every reasons to conclude you are an nothing but an air head .... just like Stella Oduah, the fabricator of degrees and qualifications.. the looter of state funds and the abuser of public office.

You are nothing but a shameless funyun.... For the schitzo you stand up for, you are a disgrace to the human race, to everything that represents moral uprightness and the fight against corruption.

Dweeb!

eGuerrilla:

If you've ever taken the time to reflect on my contributions on this board, you will know well enough that I have no "pay masters".
Just as I did during the earlier BMW saga, my primary interest here lies with connecting up the dots. What happens afterwards is up to the President and the wider Nigerian public.

slimghost:

Rants of a deluded teen! Go and hang yourself kid and rid the world of one person! Stella Oduah stays and there is nothing, absolutely nothing you and your fellow yorubas can do about it. GO AND DIE!!!.
This is my last response to you schmuck.

slimghost:

Keep it up then but make sure you connect the dots with verifiable facts and not baseless assumptions born out of sentiments. Shalom.

American education dept., university confirm Stella Oduah’s honorary Ph.D is fake

The American National Centre for Education Statistics has told PREMIUM TIMES that the Pacific Christian University, Glendale, which Aviation Minister, Stella Oduah, claimed awarded her a doctorate degree, does not exist, confirming this newspaper’s Wednesday’s report that the minister’s purported honorary Ph.D is fake.

The National Centre for Education Statistics is an agency under the U.S. Department of Education.
Responding to a PREMIUM TIMES’ inquiry, the spokesperson for the agency, which maintains a comprehensive and up-to-date database of all American public and private educational institutions, said, “Thank you for your inquiry. I do not see a university in our database that is Pacific Christian University in Glendale”.

She however suggested that the closest to Pacific Christian University in the database might be Hope International University in Fullerton which she believed used to be known as Pacific Christian College.

Contacted, Every Delarosa of the registrar’s office at Hope International University confirmed that the institution used to be known as Pacific Christian College and not Pacific Christian University as Mrs. Oduah indicated in her resume.

eGuerrilla:

Save your contrived attempt at objectivity for your clannish co-travelers. Where I come from, if you've got form, you've got motive.
My posers remain valid in view of madam's antecedents - deal with it.

Wily+Wily:
Yorubas want to be Aviation Minister by all means
