All this 3 weeks university and give u doctorate

Ayra star is from there, she was born there, I guess that was why she did her degree there...

The list is not complete without DRUGGIE.

Sudanese degrees should be investigated

"Honorary" is different from those who claimed to have received a certificate for a 4 year course in 4 weeks.

Honorary certificates are given to artistes, celebrities, people who have excelled in a field. Nothing wrong with issuing these certificates based on whatever parameters set by the institution.

Learn the difference!.

I was surprise when I saw them mentioning honorary certificates

Whatever is happening in Benin Republic, believe me far more is happening in Nigerian universities. IYKYK

Bubble must burst

onuman:

Honorary degree awarded by those Benin Republic universities don't matter.
What matters is the academic degree awarded by these institutions.

Really? [b][/b]So anyone can just go to all the mushroom universities , scattered here and there, mostly unapproved , to buy honorary doctorate.
No wahala. Soon every dick and Harry would answer doctor na.

Sleekfingers:
This shit is serious ooo

A friend said he might sack two of his staff. They graduated from one of the universities mentioned in Benin Republic

Sorry to say but that your friend is a foolish business owner/manager.

Judge your employees based on the substance they offer not on trends cloat chasing.
There are lots of quality graduates from these schools who can stand their own against graduates from anywhere.
Mind you, these countries have their citizens go to these universities too and their graduates run their respective countries and economies.

By the time these affected countries reciprocate these actions from the Nigerian govt, let's not complain.

What do we do about this? Cry or lol? Oh dear!

All of them dey use fake result lol… me sef know one lady that has the oluwole Cotonou certificate. The lady failed woefully in one private Polytechnic but 2 years after I saw her wearing NYSC khaki.

I know a boy too. One of my tenants who was in Auchi Polytechnic. He did not even finish his ND there. I was surprised that after a year, he came back that he has graduated from a University in Togo. Later that year, he was mobilised for NYSC and he has finished serving.

There was this Corper during my time as a Corper in 2015, she could not write down her own name.

It is sad to observe that there a very few intelligent discussants and analysts on Nairaland these days.

What is wrong with obtaining degrees from these universities in these countries?

That these schools are in neighboring west African countries doesn't make them fake or substandard.

That some people were caught with fake certificates from there doesn't condemn the whole system of those countries.

Who has condemned the whole Nigerian university system because of LASU fake certificates syndicates last year & others all over the nation or the US university system because of Chicago state university with Tinubu.

If hypocrisy was a nation, it would be Nigeria &Nigerians.
Let's commend the journalist for doing a good job and request our government to eliminate the loop holes that breeds fake certificates and substandard institution from anywhere home and abroad.

Pls leave Ayra starr and other celebrities who have these degrees they are not your problem....not everybody must school in Nigeria or is this because we feel these countries are below us?

Scrutinize the quality and authenticity of the certificates, graduates and universities from these countries but don't bad mouth them.

There are lots of top quality graduates from these countries doing well in their respective fields in Nigeria and outside Nigeria

Mind you, the citizens of these countries attend these same universities and they run their respective nations as well as other citizens from other countries who attend these schools in these African countries as well, with no authenticity problems from their respective countries.....so why is Nigeria's case different?

These countries education board accredites their schools respectively as NUC does not have jurisdiction outside Nigeria however only the federal ministry of Education can regulate and asertain the authenticity of these universities and their certificates together with thesw countries education boards.

Yes, substandard universities and fake certificates should be kicked against by all but let's do it without victimizing the innocent genuine graduates from these countries.
After all there is also a large community of Nigerians on diaspora in these countries with children of university age who were born, bred and educated in these countries, so what will be there fate?

If the Nigerian education system was so good as we like to decieve ourselves and had the capacity to accommodate the thousands of students seeking admission, easy to get admissions into, without frequent strikes and corruption or our private universities cheaper, do you think so many Nigerians will be going outside to study?

If we must condemn all the universities from these neighboring African countries then let's also condemn universities all over the world like US, UK, France, Ukraine, Russia, China, S.A, Canada, Japan, Brazil etc that Nigerians go to study after all not all these countries are English speaking countries.....and it's not as if the countries above Nigeria even value our certificates or regard our universities and education system so why the noise?

We all know how bad that feels when advanced countries belittle our own products and system.
All over the world citizens of different countries study outside their own countries even in nations 'lower' than theirs in advancements and it's never a crime.

By the time the governments of these African countries reciprocate our behavior towards them then let's not complain of hatred from them.
We behave as if we don't have other foreign nationals studing in Nigeria too, what will happen then if their respective government decides to blacklist their certificates from Nigerian schools& our educational system because of our corrupt tendicies and strikes..?

It is a pity our government officials even the senior ones like the minister of Education, media and people can be myopic sometimes in reasoning.
Nobody seems to be asking the important questions or addressing the issue in a logical way.

That you know one or two bad eggs who went to these said schools in these African countries doesn't mean you should condemn all or the entire system....after all are there no bad eggs in our Nigerian educational system? and why should you always be knowing only the bad examples instead of the good ones....does it not say alot about you as a person?

That you are struggling to get a job or progress in life or have graduates from these countries doing better than you is not the faults of the many genius graduates from these countries but blame your leaders and seek personal improvements, create opportunities for yourself.....dont use your negative energy to destroy people's genuine investments on themselves or that of their parents......let us behave.

I just feel alot of this unverified annomisity towards graduates from these countries are based on sentiments and sometimes sponsored by other stake holders in the Nigerian educational system.

Let our government Collaborate with the governments of these countries to eliminate the substandard and fake fake institutions within their respective countries so that the genuine ones will not suffer a "mob action policy" from our government, institutions and employers.

I just hate nonsense!

Oh wow, I think Benin Republic has to do a check on their mushroom universities, kudos to Umar the reporter that exposed this tho, we should celebrate a man like him. Let the authorities in Benin find out who is legit and not the onus is on them also kudos to Nigerian ministry of education for taking proactive decision on this menace, God Allah bless we all.

Ayra star no loss for the list , stripper degree

Ayra star no loss for the list , stripper degree.

All those names of actors u mentioned above are 'dullards'..

because they are "dullards" that is why they went to degree mill institutions to get fake degrees..

If u by chance come across dis entities, their certificate is fake.. NO recognition.

www.nscdc Dazzol!..

So surprised our government eyes are just opened to this. Many of my colleagues from the north attended some of this schools and you hardly believe they graduated from University. They can't read or either write. There spoken English are so poor because some of this countries are not English speaking country.

Your English is as poor as those people you are referring to.

So foreign universities are now the center for honorarium award, because it is no longer lucrative in Nigeria .

You forgot to add Mr. Macaroni. He also got a doctorate from one backyard University in Benin Republic

Fake Certificates when Togo de run for donkey years successfully .
Dem show Benin Republic the update now , Cotonou people don go cast am , Chai

These "honorary degrees" being sought after by these supposed celebrities puts paid to the delusional claim that "education na scam".



What is a scam is trying to or acquiring it by fraudulent means.



Why the erroneous conception of education being a scam holds sway amongst some class of people is because they equate money with education.



It's their view that if education can't make one rich, then it's not worth it.



To them, if one must even acquire a degree, then it should be through the backdoor.



Education is never a scam - if you think education is expensive, then try ignorance.





Knowledge is power!

Spot on.

It appears to me that aside asking for asking for the gift of the Holy spirit, we might to start asking God for the spirit of discernment and the ability to function well against lexically challenged brains.

Before you jumped into abusive conclusion. He said, he MIGHT

Meaning under possibility. After carrying out his investigation.

What kind of post is this?! An honorary degree is not an earned degree. It is just a mere recognition by the institution.

Tinubu will support them chicagogate is still fresh in our mind

From where did Bola Ahmed Tinubu bag his own degree?

There are civil servants, University lecturers, school teachers, medical doctors, church leaders, especially Anglican priests, accountants and more with qualifications from Benin Republic. It's a shame Nigeria as we knew it no longer exists.
