PhD my foot .Nigeria is a mess even a danfo driver will bag a PhD if he greases the right palms.

She's not funny, but she's sensible enough to hustle reasonably without hustling like Toke Makinwa.

Good for her but I actually don't find her jokes funny, she is a hard-working woman who lives a modest life unlike other female celebrities who cannot live a day without seeking public attention.

Is this an academic PhD or honorary PhD? My bet is on the latter.

PhD no be beans. And when it comes from Unilag and out of usually tough supervisory interaction between two females, then you are almost sure that Helen Paul is worthy of this proof of higher intellectual capacity she had just acquired. By the way, that guarantees another stream of income.

Congratulations Tatafo!

Didn't you read the part of her supervisor, Prof Osita Ezawanebe or something?, do honorary Ph.d recipients have supervisors?

Many People will find it hard to believe because of her profession, I heard its a Ph.d in theater arts or so. Its not easy at all. I know because my mom went through this process, from going for seminar to seminar especially when you are working. She would give multiple excuses to take leave from work to meet up with the seminar (you must be present) and would leave her workplace by 5pm to go to Unilag to meet her supervisor in-spite of this nonsense lagos hold-upand would get home by 11pm sometimes 12. The stress is crazy, then there's Apc, Vivre and so on, not really conversant with the terms. Then there are the battle hardened professors throwing horrible questions at you during presentation that would break you down, your supervisor would then try to defend you. I have seen it live and know it's not an easy feat.

I've thought about it before, but at this point in my life i'm not interested in a Ph.d, even masters sef get as e be as B.sc don show me pepper. Maybe my perspective would change over time, I don't know. I wouldn't want a Ph.d so people would keep calling me Dr. upandan, i'm not really interested in research or the academic route, but i know its not easy and admire the guts of those who tread that path.

Congrats to her once again.
A real role model to young Nigerian women, not those other ones

You are one of those pessimist who see nothing good in others, your country or things you are directly affiliated with, you always think they're all inferior.
It says a lot more about your person than her's in this case....

She has bagged a Ph.d in Theatre arts from the university of Lagos. Let you and your danfo driver go and bag your own, or at least perform exceptionally in whatever field you are, let us hear your news on Nairaland and congratulate you, abi you and success get beef?
Na person wey never achieve anything dey quick to bring down people wey don do pass am

With the kain mentality above, it is certain people are wandering about with a lot of negative energy. Why would you debase anything autochthonous? Must it just be from America to be a good one?

It appears your are irked by the simple fact that an 'illiterate' decided to sweat it out for a PhD degree. Even if She obtained it from Nepal abi na Sudan sef.....if you have issues, take it to the senate of her University.
Well done Dr Helen Paul, let them continue hating!
