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.

Yes, he call himself "Dr" at least from him personal website http://meetfowler.com/aboutme.html Dr. William Babatunde Fowler

I also noted on his profile it states:

He left Commercial Bank (Credit Lyonnais Nigeria Limited) in March 1990 to join Chartered Bank in April 1990 as a Senior Manager where he spent the last 14 years in the banking industry.

To the fuuktard calling himself SirShymexx that must mean he was the Managing Director of Chartered Bank.

That moronic cretin said a Senior Manager is a Managing Director. grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

Ignorance everywhere.

It is like saying because someone got a Law Degree from Madonna Uni when it lost its degree, that person isn't a graduate.

It is one thing to have the degree, it is another thing for it to be recognized. After all, the school didn't deny that it gave the Degree to him.

Fowler has a valid degree, howbeit from an institution that lost its accreditation.

The question is not as to validity and value, but as to recognition.
If the school lost it accreditation than the school is not qualify to award any degree in the first instance . He has no right to use the title Dr. Uniabuja have to let go of her engineering study for not having accreditation as any degree issue to any body in engineering will not be valid.

Thought some Jonathanian people said SR are pro-Buhari, pro-Tinubu?

I keep saying SR are just one anti-bad governance, anti-bad politicians platform. They don't care about who the President is.

The thing is that Irish International University was never a university or accredited at any point in time let alone losing accreditation.

In fact, Jeff Wooller was expelled / excluded from Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales because of his association with Irish International University as its Honorary Chancellor.

Well, this may be a fair point for Mr Fowler at the end of the day, even if it doesn’t erase all the few question marks trailing him. Nigerian journalists are notorious for “dashing” people titles such people have not called themselves by. I remember Nelson was labelled Dr Mandela by the Nigerian media - I'm sure the dunces actually thought they were adding something to the man when they did it. Similarly, it was from Radio Nigeria I used to hear Dr Jacob Zuma. So, yeah, Dr Babatunde Fowler may well have been created by some yeye news editor.

Of course, anybody with some sense can always see that. People are blinded by their partisan viewpoint.

Always try to digest a message and not the source. Did it occur to you that SR might have done it homework and discovered that the said doctorary degree was supposedly bestowed on him after the university was blacklisted in 2005?

His Bachelors degree and any other degree earned is baseless and he should be relieve off his new appointment if we're truly a nation that want change. I trust you wouldn't want someone with a fraudulent degree head a strategic commission as the FIR or would you?


I am astonished at your understanding and judgement of issues by asserting that "His Bachelors degree and any other degree earned is baseless" just because a media outfit alleged that his "Honorary" Doctorate degree is fake!!!

Bro, there is a difference between "Honorary" Doctorate degree and "Earned" Doctorate degree

it is obvious that so many contributors on this issue are ignorant of this

Having read all of the 5 pages of comments in defense and attack, i am certain that PMB will review this carefully and make amends where necessary.

The retired General that he is, PMB will not shy away from revoking Mr Fowler's appointment if there are enough grounds for it.

JuanDeDios:

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.
I get it from all you've written that you agree nothing has been proved against the man and that's exactly my problem with SR or anyone who clings to the unsubstantiated and unproven news. We must desist from Pull Him Down (PhD) politics we play in Nigeria just to get at the opponents. It's completely wrong of SR and Kperogi to make an unverified claim and brand his honorary degree "fake" without having completed their investigations. The onus is on those who allege to prove their point and not who is being accused. So, your point suggesting someone to make inquiries (perhaps you expect the presidency to do that even) on a degree which would definitely NOT have been submitted alongside his credentials holds no water. For crying out loud, IT IS A HONORARY AWARD and as such he needn't submit same along his documents while being considered for the post.

Finally, note that even as a Buharist, I have called out the president on few occasions on this forum. Check my posts/threads record to clear your doubt. But on this one, the president has not erred a bit.
