Whether Havard or Haveford it doesn’t matter. The most important thing is this is her 18 honorary doctorate. But neither u not your family members have had such in life



Neither your Adichie or her family would get to the point in Literature where Wole Soyinka got to.




That is the point. Soyinka has honorary doctorates from Harvard and Oxford, the two best universities in the world. In fact, he taught in both universities.




Your Adichie does not even have an intern role in UNN, not to mention lecturing in a university.




Your Achebe could only lecture in a college, Bard College.




Yet, you all open your stinky mouths to abuse Soyinka.

The No 1 on the list, Harvard Honorary Doctorate is false information. She however got WEB Du Bois highest African American Award. Guess it has been taken down. Please do verify information well.

Olodo ;. So you don't know the government was accused of printing money to pay salary when they could not secure other loans.
Then borrows for infrastructure if they got. Now I know you lack information and don't listen to current news. The Finance Minister mentioned it before how 100% of revenue was used for servicing debt. Google what I just told you.
I was even thinking you were informed. grin

Look at the word you used: ‘accused’. It is an accusation. Not established.

It is like someone saying you smoke Nkpurunmiri and meanwhile, you don’t smoke nkpurunmiri.

Let those accusing the government come out with evidences.
If Nigeria is printing money, you would have seen its inflation gone to like 40% or more.

You can see you are the Olodo. You rely on lies that Igbos peddle around.

Who dash her honorary doctorate from Harvard?



It is Haverford College that gave her honorary doctorate, not Harvard.

Slow poke, she received something even bigger than a honorary doctorate from havard; The W. E. B. Du Bois Medal.

Those insulting Chimamanda should go and read history.

Who was the 1st Vice Chancellor of the prestigious University of Ibadan (UI)?
Answer: Prof. Kenneth Onwuka Dike from Anambra State.
.
Who was the 1st Vice Chancellor of the prestigious University of Lagos (Unilag)?
Answer: Prof. Eni Njoku from Ohafia in Abia State.
.
It was internal wrangling and bitterness against the Igbos at the time that gradually snowballed into the Biafra question! Having two Igbos head top institutions was a hard pill for them to swallow.

When are we gonna grow beyond this trust deficit, ethnic profiling and backward thinking?

May God help Nigeria!!!

False!

Prof. Wole Soyinka graduated with a Second Class Upper from the
University College Ibadan, NOT with a Third Class.

As far back as 2013, the brilliant WS had debunked that silly Third Class false rumor.




Hahahaha!

But the brilliant WS accepted the Peter Obi's 3rd class results rumours?

Neutrality is of God abeg.

Nobody knows Kemi Adeosun apart from Nigerians.
It is an insult to mention Kemi in the same line with a great woman like Chimamanda.
Ah🥱🥱
Here we go again.
If Adichie’s worth is measured by fame according to you, then She’s nowhere near the likes of Rihanna and Beyonce.
1Rihanna is worth 100 of Chimamanda.

I know you’re fuming already grin
Because Chimamanda is famous doesn’t mean she’s better than Kemi in anyway.
They’re from different fields and Kemi has been the minister of finance of the most populous black nation common. That’s position was the peak of NOI’s career- forget Worldbank and WTO.

Give Kemi some respect!

You lack knowledge of Finance. In Financing, debt is better than equity for financing projects because debt is cheaper. Ask a finance person to interpret this to you because you are a mumu person.

In your personal finances, don’t use your money to fund projects, even if you have. Borrow and be paying small small while you still maintain your own money.
Why has Dangote’ not use his cash to fund the refinery?

The American that is now your God and savior over Nigeria has the highest debt in the world.
Go and verify, as your Pandora would say.

So, when funding huge projects on a long term, you don’t use your cash; you borrow, instead.
You’re the mumu here. Naija as a country uses debt to finance consumption eg. 75% of budget is recurrent expenditure and we borrow from China to fund it.. Our CAPEX spending is abysmal.
A man borrows to build a commercial house for rent , is a good investment … while a man who borrows to pay house rent and household expenses … is a bad investment

You are talking from a loser’s angle.

FG is not borrowing to pay salaries. Forget what you read in the media and your propaganda news sources.
FG bailed out so many states that couldn’t pay salaries.
FG refunded billions of Naira that past administrations withheld, illegally, from state allocations. Wike even confirmed this. Sebi your state governor didn’t disclose this.

Show me authentic proof that ACTUAL spend of FG is 75%. When they say budget, it has not translated to real spending. It is estimate. Please show me proof where 75% of our budget is of recurrent expenditure. And show me proof (from reliable sources o. No be from your Yib0 sources o) where actual spending is 75% on recurrent expenditure.

All the capex/projects that are ongoing across Nigeria are they from your generation’s fake products money or are from your people’s drrug or spare parts selling change? So you want Buhari to fund the projects from his pocket?

Buhari is the only president since 1999 that has spent so much on infrastructure than any president.
I do not say there is no embezzlement in his government or budget padding o, but he has performed better than your GEJ and Obasanjo, combined.

GEJ had the best opportunity to lift Nigeria up but he blew it. How much is crude oil selling now and how much was it selling when Buhari came in 2015? So you want Buhari to perform miracles on top oil that is selling between $40 to $80 per barrel?
The lowest GEJ made on oil was $110 per barrel and there wasn’t production cut then. He only bought a few SURE-P buses for you mumus to be seeing all over your Yeastern Redsoil, Erosion-ravaged land and Lagos so that you would say he invested well the money from Excess Crude Oil Account - with the overrated Okonjo Iweala o. Even she said that they made huge money but the will to save was not there. Instead for GEJ to fix our infrastructure, he was secretly withdrawing from the Excess Crude Oil account.

Your mumu too didn’t blame your state governors who took billions of loans and didn’t do anything with it o. Na Buhari you dey blame. All the fund from Excess Crude Oil account that your governors forced the FG to share, where are they?

1,000,001 of your generation cannot do what Buhari is doing without borrowing.

Kukuma tell us say you are angry because there are lesser of such projects in your UGM-blood-letting land.
And by God’s grace, Tinubu WILL NOT do anything serious in your region. You better brace up now. Na sufferhead you dey. You will reap the fruit of your labour since you are an HelluP man.

Typical bigoted brigand who does not know the difference btw capital and recurrent expenditure without Google.
GMB tippled our national budget in recurrent expenditure without corresponding increase in CAPEX
In one FY, he allocated over N500bn to social welfare under presidency without a statutory portfolio or NASS oversight. That budget without minstry/portfolio was bigger than budgets of mins of health and education combined. You love voting for them because they love keeping you retaxrded

Proof, please. Social welfare was given during Covid-19 and that’s how it has been worldwide. It’s an emergency relief. No be your governors stole more than half of it?

Yes. We love voting for them so that we can deter Yeasterners from becoming our president. Are you ok with that or you need a jar of sniper?

We don’t want them to give us everything. We are happy once they give us half of all you mentioned.

What has HimTuLie and your past generation of leaders, including greedy Azikwe that dragged Nigeria backward, given your palm wine-tapping, sliding-tackle, nkpurunmiri, druuuug peddlers, products counterfeiting, okpomiliki, baby factory, highest Nigerian prisoners-in-foreign-lands, flat-headed, one-way traffic, zombidients, fake Jewish descendants generations?

No be for western Nigeria your forefathers had their education when Awolowo was doing free education? Ask your parents. Dem smuggle more than half of your biafla generations to Southwest just to come and enjoy our free education and free healthcare when your redsoil region no dey ok (even till today). Go and read history of Nigeria. SW always comes first. Yeasterners Yib0 land always comes last. No wonder Pandora lost in that erection.
