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.
