Saboteur

you must be stupid to believe that photo...So that what her photo when she dropped the CV?Ole oshi

Controversial country

Controversial president And past presidents

Controversial cabinet

Controversial ministers

With controversial statements

So why won't they get controversial stories written about them?

I must be so naïve, cos I don't get it; how can people be supporting ministers like people support football teams, loyal to the point of stupidity? People who enter office, chop chop chop and leave?

And this case still has legs - Her profile on the MOA website still has her down as having a masters degree. I guess Yoruba people own that website too. This case is so simple that an intelligent person should laugh until he/she cries: The press of any country should exist to ensure that the integrity of their public servants are always stellar (hehe) and their people are kept aware of issues that are in their collective interest. A minister lying about their qualifications (and buying bulletproof whips) is in our interest. Now if an investigation is launched and SR (as well as other media outlets) are found to be rotten liars, then deal with them!!! However, if the Minister is found to be guilty of the allegations....

Why is this way of thinking so difficult? Are we not trying to be a modern country? Or should we just stick to gossiping and dancing about who has made their next billion?

People should read Achebe's 'A man of the people' or 'The trouble with Nigeria'. It's amazing to see that a lot of our issues have not been sorted out.

US Education Department, California-based University Confirm Stella Oduah’s Honorary Ph.D Is Fake

[url]http://saharareporters.com/news-page/us-education-department-california-based-university-confirm-stella-oduah%E2%80%99s-honorary-phd-fa[/url]

By Musikilu Mojeed

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.

Even at that, Ms. Delarosa insisted Mrs. Oduah could not be referring to Hope University because the institution changed its name from Pacific Christian College in 1997 while Mrs Oduah claimed she was awarded a doctorate in Business Administration 1998.

The Hope University official also explained that the institution, even when it was known as Pacific Christian College, had never had a campus in Glendale. She said the university was based in Long Beach city at the time.

“We do not have any records of any candidate by the name Stella Oduah or related names,” Ms. Delarosa said, after pouring through the university record. “Whether now that we are Hope University and in the past when we were Pacific Christian College, we did not give any such person a degree here.”

This newspaper had Wednesday reported that the aviation minister lied on oath to the Nigerian Senate, by claiming that a Pacific Christian University awarded her an honorary doctorate degree in 1998.

Mrs. Oduah had made the claim in a 7-page resume she distributed to Nigeria’s 109 senators during her confirmation hearing on July 2, 2011.

On page four of the document, the minister claimed the university, which she said was based in Glendale, awarded her an honorary doctorate in Business Administration.
Download the resume Minister Stella Oduah submitted to the senate here.

It was based on this document that she was grilled and eventually confirmed by the lawmakers.

But investigations by PREMIUM TIMES had determined Wednesday that no university called Pacific Christian University existed in the United States.

The U.S. Department of Education, through its National Centre for Education Statistics, keeps an up-to-date database of all public libraries and educational institutions in the country – public, private and colleges.

PREMIUM TIMES reporters spent hours on Wednesday searching this database.

Our reporters searched by state (California), city (Glendale) and name of institution (Pacific Christian University). Y

et, nothing came up in the name of the university Mrs. Oduah claimed gave her an honorary doctorate.

According to the database, there are six colleges (universities) in Glendale, a city of 191,719 inhabitants in Los Angeles County, in the state of California.

The colleges are American Medical Sciences Centre, Brand College, Glendale Career College, Glendale Community and North-West College.

There is no such university known as Christian Pacific College as claimed by the minister.

Efforts by PREMIUM TIMES to get the spokespersons for the minister to comment for this story were unsuccessful.
Joe Obi, her special assistant on media, did not answer or return calls.

Yakubu Datti, the spokesperson of the aviation agencies, who usually speak for her, answered our call but immediately said he would call back. He is yet to do so as at the time of publishing this.

Mrs. Oduah, and her associates have been cleaning up the minister’s biographies on the Internet, following allegations that she lied about her academic qualifications.

The minister claimed she got Bachelor and Masters degrees from St. Paul’s College.

But after it became clear she might not have earned a Masters from that university, Mrs. Oduah edited her biography on the website of the Ministry of Aviation, with references to St. Paul’s College removed.

The Wikipedia page of the minister was also edited and it now has no reference to the university Mrs. Oduah attended. The last edit on the Wikipedia page was done at 14:41 p.m. Nigerian time Tuesday.

All links and reference materials on the Wikipedia page capable of linking the minister to the university were also deleted.

Even the minister’s personal website was reviewed to remove any reference to St. Paul’s College.
Mrs. Oduah had since October been enmeshed in a a N255 million armoured cars scandal in which she was accused of compelling an agency under her supervision, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority, NCAA, to buy her two exotic bullet cars at clearly inflated prices.

The purchase of the cars generated outrage for weeks because its cost was inflated, and it was neither listed in the government-approved budget nor did it comply with the Nigeria’s public procurement law.
The House of Representatives has since asked President Goodluck Jonathan to sack the minister but the president has failed to act.

Yes, you are.

Clap for yourself, you have figured out how to quote people!

Now try reasoning for yourself. Take your time, now.

Saboteur

Saboteur? Because I am not playing the tribalism card? I'd rather be a saboteur, than a tribalistic bigot, Mr La Vida

Novelle: It looks like all weapons fashioned against Jonathan's government has been failing

first was OBJ's lies against GEJ's government
Second was Sanusi's lies against NNPC
Third was Sahara Reporters lies against Stella's CV


God will keep frustrating evil doers in Jesus Name! Amen!

So, Sanusi lied, eh?

And is there a school like Pacific Christian University, Glendale, Califrnia, where Stella got her PhD(Honorary)?

Prove that Sanusi or Sahara reporters lied, or apologise for being a bigot.

And stop taking the name of Christ in vain.Please.

Act like a Christian and stand for what is right please.

See Saint obi

Ihere mee kwa ha!

ckkris: For giving International status to Enugu Airport, the enemies of progress will still seek other futile ways to embarrass Stella, but ultimately making her more popular, and even larger than life.

Anumanu!

Nigeria is a country dat anytin goes.I am tired of complaining on political issues witout seeing d guilty persecuted.It has happened over n over n v lost appetite of politics here.An aviation minister caught for misuse of funds nw flew to brasil to do wat.mtchewwwww gud reedings .

Make una free this woman abeg. Nobody holy pass

I don't believe dat d reporter lied... What if d CV was edited? Dis is politics all Nigerians should open their eyes, ears, minds & brains. Any thing can be manipulated.

Honorary PhD is a degree of association, it has nothing to do with academics. In lame man examples;

If you're a dish washer and your employer likes the way you wash his dishes, he can honor you with an Honorary PhD in Catering and Hotel Management.

If you sell Atarodo at Mile 2 market and your customers like the way you attend to them, they can honor you an honorary PhD in Business Administration.

If you're a public nuisance like agbameta, NL can decide to honor him with an honorary PhD in Thuggery and Hooliganism.

So now you know, it's a useless degree. it's not worth fighting for.

Except that the honorary PhD of Stella Oduah is from a fake University......'Pacific Christian University, Glendale, California'...which does not exist, and has never existed.(and it is not Azusa Pacific Uni).

Pacific Christian University is now Hope International University.

"Hope International University was founded in 1928 as Pacific Bible Seminary, and in 1963 was renamed Pacific Christian College following the move to Long Beach, California. In 1997 they achieved university status and took the corporate name of Hope International University."

Here, educate yourself; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_International_University

But Stella got her PhD IN 1998.and according to you the Pacific Christian College changed its name in 1997....and the CV speciffically says 'Pacific Christian Univerisity, Glendale California'...while Hope University is in Fullerton , California.

Sorry, but you fail here.

Stella's PhD was probably from a diploma mill.....not a proper school.

Pacific Christian University is not the same as Pacific Christian College And besides Colleges do not award academic degrees without affiliation reference

mad nigerian:

Pacific Christian University is actually Hope International University.
The Name was changed sometime in the history of the Institution.
Ask google please.
