Who's disputing if it's an academic or honorary doctorate degree? Whatever the degree is, is alleged to have been forged and not genuinely acquired. Should he retain his appointment if found to be fraudulently acquired? That's the question.

Where you told his appointment was based on his doctorate or his pedigree?

What pedigree or reputation could a man who forged an honorary degree have? How can we trust him with the task of his new job without putting into consideration if he'll manipulate and distort vital information in performing his duties as the head of FIR?

For someone who could manipulate his credentials, whether honorary or earned degrees, they can't be trusted in public office. He's a fraudulent character by that single act. It's also possible that the said honorary degree could have been subliminally considered and influential to his appointment.

One can only weep for the future of our country if we the youths reason like this. Here is a man who's allegedly discovered to have forged a doctorate degree appointed to head a commission and rather than demand for his dismissal we're making excuses.

The issue isn't whether the degree is relevant or was influential to his appointment but that he's a fraud. If truly the doctorate degree was fraudulently acquired how can we trust him with his new portfolio? Are you saying that we should overlook a crime as heinous as forgery just because he earned his other credentials genuinely?

In serious nations, this revelation, if true would cost him his new job and it doesn't only end there. He'd be banned from holding any public office and would have a criminal record that could render him unemployable for as much as 10years or forever.

Does the honorary award fall under the above definitions?

Waiting for your reply so we can move on with the class.

You are not getting it. An honorary degree is like the chieftancy titles you get from Obas and the likes... It is inconsequential.

And read the news and digest it well, he did not forge anything or obtain it fraudulently. The University didn't say they didn't give him an honorary doctorate degree, but the news is that the University has been blacklisted since 2005 which makes their (The University) certificates/awards of less value. But then it is inconsequential since the degree is not an academic degree but an honorary degree.

Presenting a honorary degree from a non-accredited univerity is not something I would make a lot of noise about.

But if it is due to this fake honorary degree that he is labeling himself "Dr", that is, he has no medical or doctoral degree, then his appointment needs to be cancelled asap.

Those kind of Nigerians we don't want in government.

I just checked online.

There is nowhere he has claimed or called himself "Dr". It is just some useless journalist that have tagged him as that.

So this accusation is just noise to me.

First of, it's not uncommon practice in Nigeria for people to attach Dr. to their name on honorary award as this.
Secondly, the Farooq guy is equally holding on to straw. The fact that the Committee of VC frowns at the practice has not made it illegal.
And him talking abt multi campuses of an institution makes no sense. What is wrong in someone who attended Enugu campus of UNN saying he attended UNN? Did he have to attend the Nsuka campus b4 we accept he graduated from UNN?
The point he raised about multi-campus does not prove anything but it's sufficient ground for scrutiny. Nobody has said Mr Fowler should be taken to Kirikiri yet. I myself have never met someone who introduced himself as attending the University of California, for example - you say University of California at Los Angeles, at San Diego, at Berkerley, etc. University of Texas at Austin. It's not quite the same thing as UNN. If I met someone who tells me he went to the University of California I would not conclude he is a fraud, but I'd make enquiries if we are dealing with something important.

On the Dr title, I didn't even know about the VCs' resolution - I just found that practice an ugly manifestation of the Nigerian's love for titles and aggrandisement. Now, if the VCs who're responsible or handing out the "honourary" titles in Nigeria resolve that recipients don't prefix their name with Dr, DECENT people are expected to comply. You say it's not illegal, yeah, not brushing your mouth in the morning is not illegal. Remember nobody has said he has done anything illegal - what SR and Kperogi have revealed have called his MORAL character into question at a time Nigerians at still holding their noses from the stench of the Jonathan era and looking forward to a new era. Your assertion that Kperogi is holding straws is in bad faith. But this is Nigeria, so I guess you reckon it's okay for people appointed into high office to have big question marks trailing them as long as it's the side you support that is doing the appointing. That's what the rest of us get from you partisans.
