Can someone tell me when Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala become a professor and of what academic institution? Or is this another manifestation of sycophants embellishing the achievements of their "oga madams", a common phenomenon in Nigeria?

una don bring una bad belle.

contact the institution and find out.

any other questions about anyone else on the list of Anioma people?

and may I ask if you're trying to modify the wiki entry to suit your nefarious agenda?

O chim! Getting a PhD is not equivalent to being a professor! Is this news to you?

When did Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala become a professor? My question still stands.

I have no "nefarious agenda", I only want to verify the claim.

Wiki entry corrected!

.

tpia:

on what basis did you make the correction?

Did you investigate like you were supposed to do, or you simply changed the entry based on your typical Nigerian bad belle?

Better slow your roll with your itching fingers.

as if you're the only one who knows how to make wiki entries.

Yes, I investigated. I don't have "bad belle", why should I? After all she is a fellow African.

There is no evidence that she is a professor. If you have any evidence please tender it.

.

tpia:

post the results of your 30 second investigation here.

I'm not one with bad belle over someone's qualifications.

So follow due process and let us know how you arrived at the conclusion she's not a Professor.

Even your post from Wikipedia showed she has a PhD, from MIT no less. There is no record of her being appointed a faculty member of any known academic institution.

Do you have any evidence that Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was at any time appointed to the faculty of any academic institution?

This is the simplest form of question to be asked.

Yet, I would expect those to whom the question was addressed to come back and state: ''Na bad belle''. Some Nigerians and their dumb responses at times.

correcting misinformation has turned to bad belle  INTERESTING

Men, the thing taya me o! Thou shall not correct?

a PHD is a doctorate degree but that doesn't make you a professor or instructor. You need to part of a faculty or a visiting lecturer to be considered a professor.

Na wa o! Some people sha must type, just to satisfy themselves that they are nairaland members.

So obtaining a PhD in a particular university implies that automatically you become a Professor from that same University? Did you go to school at all?

Some people are born daft, others achieve daftness. For tpia, being daft is just a natural occurrence.

@bawomolo,

Please accept my thanks in trying to educate that illiterate market woman called tpia.

I can also scan google for prof of Chinua Achebe's professorship. So if I find nothing, that means he's not one, right?

Achebe taught at American universities after leaving Nigeria.  Iweala didn't.

The correct title would be Dr.Iweala

LMAO! i knew it was going to come to this. because u received a doctorate from a university doesnt make you are a professor from that university. Tpia, if i understand you correctly. you asked Ricky contact MIT for confirmation of Iweala's professorship. going by the info you provided its of no use because you clearly stated she received a PhD from there and not being a professor from there. if you consider US illiterate, then what would you be?

Pataki:

This is the problem with Nigerians like [b]tpia. They know nothing about what they are typing about.

That you have a PhD does not mean you're professor. I've heard people claim that some cab drivers in London have PhDs, are they professors? tpia thinks so!

bawomolo:

enemy of progress  

When I have my own aspirations?  

Of course, I would expect anyone reading my profile in later years, to question how I became Professor Pataki, but when goons begin to tag such people as ''bad belle'', it then becomes a source of worry, whether questions can no longer be asked again.

tpia:

I'm waiting for the results of your investigation.

Do you even know the meaning of investigation, or am I crediting you with too much intelligence?

Why bother?  They are too stupid for all that.  And where all these bitch arse cheer leaders (Pataki etc) came from in beyond me.  Simple question yet no answer.

She wants me to go inquire from MIT the institution that appointed her as professor. This typical "market women" reasoning.

Another slowpoke on the loose tonight. Guess your period of heat is on. Keep on bleating. What an idiotic goat.

Can you even comprehend at all? Stupid girl.

tpia:

Richyblack- you're the one who suddenly came up questioning Ngozi Okonjo Iweala's professorship. Why are you asking me to provide evidence unless you're totally daft. Once again, where are the results of your investigation? I provided the name of the institution where she received her Phd Any thinking person would contact that institution in the course of finding out who awarded her a PhD.

When a supposed educated troll makes the above comment, it becomes a point of worry. Whether, it is not stark illiterates, one is dealing with on this forum.

LadyT:

Umm she wasn't an instructor, adjunct or tenured professor at MIT so what would be point of e-mailing MIT.  I don't think anyone is contesting her degree.

Im not even worried about you.  You have issues that alone is clear and will soon be clearer to everyone else enjoy your lame cyber cred for now alakori.  Wack job.  LMAO

tpia:


having an intelligent conversation with Pataki is an oxymoron.  Thats why i dont bother. Its simply impossible because a lizard can never turn to a crocodile no matter its weight.


Do you see Richyblack grasping at the futile straw Bawomolo provided? Because he knows he misyarned but he's too arrogant to admit it, or reveal his true motives.

Let all of them continue displaying their natures like the monkeys they are. When one monkey chatters, the rest of the pack join in.

ROTFLMAO

Oh are you telling that ninny of a girl? She never knew what was the subject of discourse, never read what was being said, the goat just knows she must type since tilapia is typing.

Arindin, oku igbe of a woman. Apoda aiyeraye oshi yi.

At least the credibility and educational stand of a woman like you is being questioned, who can refer to yours? Useless entity. Keep on typing where you meet your moronic types typing. Shediot.

Roflmao

A professor is an advanced university teacher that has put in may years in research and teaching. There are no known schools where she taught for a minute and was not pronounced a professor by any university senate et al. No, Ngozi Iweala is not a professor.
