Big lie. Go and start yours if you have the right qualifications and the eyes of your understanding will be enlightened to know what you have been blinded of.
Congratulations to Dr Helen Paul, atleast she has something to fall back on.

It appears your are irked by the simple fact that an 'illiterate' decided 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!


Most of them bag these degrees and can't even do anything with them, their life still stays the same. What is Helen Paul going to do with this degree?

Nigerian are experts in bagging these kind of degrees that do nothing for them.

I wish ppl could be more innovate when it comes to education

Bros, a PhD is a tough endeavour. If you have not gone through it, don't downplay the efforts of those who have. Eminent Professors like Muyiwa Falaiye, Jim Unah, Charles Soludo, Ike Mowete, Sophie Oluwole (Mamalawo) and a host of others bagged their PhDs in Nigerian universities and they can hold their own anywhere in the world.

If you think Helene Paul is unworthy of the doctorate, well, having being in the university system for more than 15 years, I can tell you for a fact that no university in Nigeria would award a PhD to someone who is unqualified. It would injure their reputation. I have a PhD myself and I know what i am talking about. The Professors that assess your thesis would make you sweat your pants. A PhD is a venture that goes beyond academic brilliance. You need resilience, self-motivation, falling down, getting up, challenging norms, defending your views to pull it through. I struggled as everyone else I know who has a PhD. It even got to a stage, I started interrrogating my advisors and questioned their theories. It earned me their respect, but one of them hates me till today.

The only issue I have with Helene Paul is that she felt the need to prove herself by stating she's the first female stand-up comedian to bag a PhD because this gives people like you the right to think that obtaining a PhD na beans. If you think it is so easy, enrol for one, and when a Professor gives you a scientific problem to solve wey fit give you hypertension if you think am too much, humility would become second nature to you.

Celebrate people when they succeed because you don't know their struggles. You too shall be celebrated. If you have nothing positive to say, simply ignore.

Shut the f**k up man.....Try and hide your bitterness and show some love. To bag a PhD anywhere in the world is not an easy task, from endless research to the money spent, and time consumed.

I'm guessing u ain't even a master's degree holder. God! Maybe u are even an undergraduate.

Haha! Haba!

This is ridiculously untrue, there is not smooth right(not even in unilag) to bagging PH. d. It is a hard fight. My brother when u see any PH. d holder in Nigeria kindly respect such person, even for the cognitive knowledge he must have acquired which is peculiar to Nigeria setting as the only way of awarding certificates.
