rudedough: Honestly i don't know why Nigerians are getting all worked up about an honorary PhD degree. The level of ignorance in our country is alarming even our supposedly educated press.. Who gives half-a-$hit about an honorary degree?

It is one of cardinal reasons I want Nigeria to be disintegrated. There are cross sections of Nigerians I honestly do not want them to be my compatriots. Anything short of disintegration of Nigeria is resolutely unacceptable.

agbameta: Old man, slow down on the tantrums and anger. Behave like a village elder...

agbaoponu,

Your tendencies to indulge in idiotic rascality are second only to Fashola’s idiocy when the governor deported fellow Nigerians.

mad nigerian: OK...Stella's CV says PHd was from PACIFIC CHRSTIAN UNIVERSITY IN GLENDALE CALIFORNIA.
While the Hope International University IS LOCATED IN FULLERTON CALIFORNIA , AND WAS A CHANGE OF NAME FROMPACIFIC CHRSTIAN COLLEGE WHICH WAS NEVER LOCATED IN GLENDALE CALIFORNIA.

From Wikipedia...[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_International_University.
[/url]

History[edit]

Hope International University was founded in 1928 as Pacific Bible Seminary, and in 1963 was renamed Pacific Christian College following the move to Long Beach, California. [/b]In [b]1997 they achieved university status and took the corporate name of Hope International University. In the fall 2011, Hope transitioned from consisting of two colleges: Pacific Christian College (traditional, residential undergraduate) and the School of Graduate and Professional Studies (for working adults, on-line/distance education Bachelors Degrees, Master's Degrees).

So you see, not in Glendale, and BTW...does not offer PhD's either.

Stella got her Phd in 1998...from Pacific Christian University, Glendale California....which clearly does not exist....as Hope International University was NEVER in Glendale California.


Sorry, you are defending the indefensible here.

Do you really understand what “honorary” means?

omar22: Stop acting like a Jack - @$$! I only asked a question I dont need your insults.

You are the really incurable jackass in this discourse since you have already accused Stella Oduah of certificate forgery in a previous thread. Now that Stella Oduah’s CV does not contain MS degree, a bloody nitwit such as you has resorted to asking idiotic questions.

Why do you not freaking shut up your putrid loud mouth?

omar22: But if you accept a role based on your qualification then at any point they could ask you to provide your certificate, mostly if they feel that you committed an act of deception and mostly this occurs at the professional level

There is no stated qualification for a position of Nigerian minister of aviation. Such appointment is pure political appointment and, in fact, the appointer could have appointed a market woman to the post. The people like Alhaji Tanko Galadima never saw the four walls of any higher institution in Nigeria when he became Nigerian acting minister of defense.

In fact, if the northern region of Nigeria did not have a considerable number of formally educated folks today, there shall never be a Senate screening of ministerial appointees.

TribalEAST: i was born and raised in lagos and still reside there, ogbomosho is my hometown amd where i school. Understood?

By the above idiotic statement, it is safe to conclude that any Nigerian born and raised in Lagos State is from Lagos.

Frawzey: See this rubbish analogy!!! It would be helpful for you to note that Salisu Buhari was removed as the speaker -even as the 4th most powerful man in government - when we discovered he used fake certificates from UT (University of Toronto).

Now you "sin-seer" nigerian see no 'sin' in what Oduah has done probably because you are a huckster of this administration or you come from her geo-poli zone. You see why people keep saying this government is at the apex of tribalism like the Shagari regime?

So many scandals around the woman, yet Mr President has kept mum about it. 2015 is coming!

Frawzey

What have you done to a former minister of aviation who has publicly stated he committed all forms of corruption while in office?

According to your mantra, the crap you spewed in the above post is due to the fact that the current minister of aviation is not form your “ geo-poli zone”.

@OP

Princess Stella Oduah had made sure that Yoruba and Bi-Courtenay do not have stranglehold on Nigerian aviation sector.

cramjones: Stella Oduah is dancing Unclad in the market square. She stinks and reeks evil, she even had to cover her nose to contain the stench of corruption that oozes out of her oversized body. We will not rest till she is fired. She is indeed an embarrassment to womanhood, motherhood, Nigeria and indeed the rest of world. No amount of counter-propaganda can perfume the odor of evil that oozes out of this Jezebel! - CramJones

My above opinion have been expressed by Nasir El-Rufai, Femi Fani-Kayode and majority of Nigerians that want a progressive and great Nigeria beyond 2015!

Even if Stella Oduah decides to resign as Nigerian minister of aviation, Yoruba and Bi-Courtenay can not regain the control of aviation sector in Nigeria.

ogb5: Democracy calls for check and balances.
Those who designed the constitution envisaged that the 3 arms of government will check each other.

When the legislature sits and pass bills in the bedroom of the executives, under the supervision of the executives then democracy has failed. The legislature has sold their independence. At the end of the day the populace will suffer as what ever bill is passed will just be through paddy paddy arrangement between the executives and the legislators for their personal benefits.

No surprise anyway, recently we saw a speaker of one of the states kneeling before one of the 'progressive' governors.

So they can as well pass bills in the governor's bedroom.

Bros you are trying to debate nuances of democracy with class of people that should have been driven like cows to the stream.

maasoap: Somebody forged a certificate and you are here talking about moral. It is a criminal offence. Do you even realise that that MBA certificate might have given her added advantage?

Please do you know the connotation of the word - forgery?

ISpiksDaTroof: lmaooo dude pls shut it while we still think of you as just a mere dunce or probably a drunk. U keep going on and people will start to think of u as an im*becile.

You've got not an iota of idea what the hell you're yapping about. Infringement of rights indeed. Lmao smh


P.S: I notice u criminally evaded my question of her presented documentation being requested under the FOI Act.

Are sure you were called to the Bar? The FOI Act applies to the information in the hands of public entities and not the ones involving personal identity information (PII).

[quote author=tpia@]Nathaniel King's father was a Yoruba man in Sierra Leone who later returned to Nigeria and also helped Bishop Crowther translate the bible into Yoruba.[/quote]Please there were no Yoruba in Sierra Leone. However there were many indigenous ethnic groups in Sierra Leone before the repatriation of freed slaves (recaptives) to Freetown. The nonsensical Yari,ba crap surfaced when British colonialists invited some of the educated returnees to Lagos for colonial jobs. Bishop Crowther was equally returnee, if not, why would he look the direction of Sierra Leone for help in translating bible in Yari,ba when the Lagos Colony was the home of Yari,ba?

It is unfortunate that Yari,ba distortion of historical facts has been allowed to exist in Nigeria without challenge for too long. The nonsensical acts of distortion gained roots in Nigerians society during the Nigeria/Biafra civil war.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]Aren't you guys smart enough to know what damage control means, other than editing content on wikipedia and facebook profile pages? If Stella Oduah is one of those exceptionally brilliant students, why have you all not simply come clean by telling the public that she completed her education within 3-3.5years and publicizing the names of the institutions she attended?

The silence makes Sahara's report seem accurate.[/quote]Impressing the cross section of dullards mostly found in Nigeria with exceptional academic achievements is no longer in vogue. I guess silence is the best answer for a fool.

ISpiksDaTroof: Ummm bro, actually, there are actually 2nd rate, 3rd rate and 50th rate schools. Describing them as what they are is no form of disrespect whatsoever.

sheman,

You sound like a person who attended the 50th rated school

ISpiksDaTroof: What is a scalawag and why are ur tenses always disjointed?

P.S: Why are you always hateful?

I have no soft spot in my heart for Boko Haram supporters such as you. It is apparent that men make man to be wicked.

[quote author=re@lchange]how this man made it to a minister's office is the wonder of this century, or should i say the tribalist qualification of the century

shameless eediot[/quote]Bros I had rather value the certificate of someone who attended second rate American university than a certificate of a person who claimed to have graduated from Cambridge yet did not know that Dr. Nathaniel King was a Creole born in Sierra Leone. The irony was the joker who claimed Cambridge education made fool of himself by publicly and nationally claiming that Dr. Nathaniel King was a Yoruba. It is unfortunate the same goofy scalawag still claims to be Yoruba when his grandfather was a recaptive from Nupe.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]@Shymexx: Rumours are not helpful these days. Gamawa ko, Agama lizard ni.



Mr. Gull, what are you on about. Sadly there are many non competitive 4 year colleges in the USA and they are non challenging. I'm sorry to say that many historically black 4 year colleges, with the exception of a few, fall in that category. This has nothing to do with race but funding.[/quote]Mr. chucks,

Did I not warn you about falling into certain cracks intellectually? It is good you mentioned many historically black 4 year colleges were non competitive 4 year colleges. You have the liberty to stereotype because it is human to do so. Surely funding matters but it is not all that matters in formal education. If you embark on exploratory research, you would have been surprised that the products of those “historically black 4 year colleges” end up as tenured professors at some of the Ivy League schools such as Harvard.

agbameta: I think when cornered, you just spew any rubbish out of your mouth regardless how it sounds or for what effect or purpose....


You are really oponumoron....lmao

agbamumu,

One of such extroverts is the current governor of Lagos State that parades himself as SAN. I guess the joker should be debarred, agbaya.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]Mr. Gull,

I need your help in clarifying one or two issues. Stella Oduah graduated from Zixton Grammer School, in the Anambra State town of Ozubulu in Nza village, in 1978, when she was approx. 16 years old. Then she went to school in the USA from 1978 - 1982.

We know that the earliest high school graduation would occur in May of any year. Assuming that Stella left for the USA immediately after she graduated, then she must have completed her studies, at the latest, December 1978.

So Mr. Gull, this means that Stella obtained both a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree within 3 - 3.5 years. My problem is, I do not think this is possible. Would you please try to explain this to me? Thank you. Dalu o.[/quote]Are you trying very hard to tell me you have not heard about a twenty (20) old graduate of 4-year university program? Nigeria is in a serious socio-political problem if the cross section of its cream of crop articulates in the same manner as you did. Some kids already earned Ph.D at 26 in USA.

Today’s Nigerian high school students seemed to be lazy and heavily distracted. In the 70s and earlier 80s, academically endowed Nigerian students cleared their GCE papers before taking WAEC. In fact, students whose parents were loaded, like Stella Oduah, had already left the shores of cesspit called Nigeria before the month of May rolls around.

By the way, have you not heard that Stella Oduah is "a high school droupout"?

ijaw citizen: Stop be petty & myopic, Igbos are not the only ones clamouring for ethnic representation and nothing else.

Your fears about Ijaw swallowing up other ethnic groups in ND are unfounded & mischievious. It only magnifies & portray the Igbos' desire to swallow up other groups in the SS by shouting EASTERN REGION on our ears.

Look at the way you posture your comment as if Igbos are the freedom fighters of other people, My friend! PACK WELL and take ur hypocrisy to Igboland.

I have sincerely informed you that Ijaw is not a worthy ethnic group in Nigeria. Even the smallest ethnicity in Nigeria does not give a ratazz about the so-called Ijaw.

Sloan: Wait, did you mean to write that or it dropped out from your head while you were subconscious? Why do you people not see common sense and use it prudently? So, you mean the Yorubas should give you free passage through their land? Why did you not give free passage to all the minorities to keep their land and people away from biafra? No, you had to grab those lands and force their people to become biafra soldiers but you are begging a bigger power to close their eyes so you can go through their lands? The height of irresponsible stupi.dity! What is free in war? Did Ojukwu not have that planned and figured out before he declared secession and brought war? Oh, and you trying to gain access to our land because you are interested in attacking the Northerners but you first come West? If it is not madness, then it means you and your ilk have no grey matter upstairs! If you want to fight the northerners, then go directly to the north; not miss your way to another man's land because that is why you were handed your ass on a blood stained platter! Ibos should stay away from Yorubaland, YOU ARE NO LONGER WELCOME IN OUR LAND simple and I don't care what you or anyone thinks about my position!

Slowpoke,

It is a crap such as above junk from demented and ill-educated reprobate envisages indelible enmity between Yari,ba people and Ndigbo. Nobody in Biafra or Igbo land expected any free passage from Yari,ba but had expected inherently cowered people to evict Gowon who had made Lagos a comfortable home from where he and Nigerians attacked Biafra.

Contrary to your silly conjectural crap, Biafrans had no interest in fighting anybody rather wanted a country different from the cesspit called Nigeria which was/is filled to the brink with regrettable villains such as you.

In fact, your post conveyed one thought which is very common among Yari,ba people. It is better imagined than to be told.

ba7man: Why is it so hard for the name of the school to be mentioned??

Stella Oduah is not a demented extrovert such as a certain section of Nigeria.

kel4soft: With the derivation from Agriculture proceed accrued to them pre-state era i.e during regional government.

Why Awolowo was busy developing the Western and mid-western region with University and free education and creating institutions for them. Our so called leaders (Eastern region) then was busy collecting tax and oppressing the minorities (Ijaws, Ikwerres Efik etc). They made sure the minorities suffer. When my Grand Dad, a fisherman then, sail all day and night only for him to be apprehended by this selfish leaders at the shores for unnecessary tax without providing any amenities.

Awolowo helped in establishing the University of Ibadan in 1948, it took Azikiwe and Co more than 15years after to established a University in the eastern region, even later than Ahmadu Bello University.
They seized all our lands in Port Harcourt, imposing heavy fines on our people.

They (Zik and cronies) only developed the Igbo region ala Enugu. Citing all FG structures there. PH and the rest were left to the mercies of God. Untill Gowon created Rivers State in 1967. Your Azikiwe made sure the minorities suffered for been part of you people.
......................................................................

You are a bloody fool that lacked formal education. If you were not a basement airhead, you would have realized that Awolowo that was financially pressed as a result of law school load in London could not have helped in establishing of a university college in Ibadan about 1948.

Since you are very anemic with the facts, it will be a waste of time to educate you.

eGuerrrilla: Ethnic chauvinism would always be the final retreat of a scoundrel.

If you think what you've read thus far presents the princess in an unfavourable light, let's see how you react to the following article - sourced from a foremost pro-Biafra website.

eGonorrhea

Are you insane? You have gone from Stella Oduah did not earn master degree to a high school dropout. I guess the force of tribal bigotry is wonderfully influential on you.

Reptyle: I see your point. But if she had such an explanation for the discrepancy, why the rush to clean up the records? That's kinda suspicious don't you say?

You really need to pipe down on the tribal slurs.

Only a bloody fool shall assume or conclude that the statement of “she immediately stayed back to study for her Masters Degree which she achieved in 1983” meant she stayed back at St. Paul’s College Lawrenceville, Virginia, USA.

In fact, I would have given the statement a second thought if it reads ““she immediately enrolled to study for her Masters Degree which she achieved in 1983”. This statement would have brought the essence of school or college to my mind.

[quote author=Love_Decay]Q. Where did she complete her first degree ?
Your ans. St. Paul’s College Lawrenceville !

Q. In the following passage, what does the statement "so she immediately stayed back" relate to ?
Your ans. it could mean staying back in the USA or staying back at St Pauls College .

Now, it's my turn. And, i believe i speak for like minds !

First, i will like to clarify that U.S.A is not an educational institution it is a country . Awodman take note !

Since you "awodman" claim she (stella's) staying back could mean anything. We (speaking for like minds) accept this as a fact.

That Stella Oduah, successfully completed her Master degree in the United States. Though, there are no clear documents stating which "University" she got her Master's degree from.

Nevertheless, it can't be from St.Paul cos they don't award such degree's in that (St.Paul) institution. But Stella Master's degree is from an accredited American Institution, not a Nigerian, British, Ghanaian or South African Institution.

Hence, Stella must present a masters degree from 1983, to Nigeria citizen's and this degree must be an American Degree (Masters).

---------------------------------------
You can see here for details on her educational achievements: http://sunnewsonline.com/new/opinion/stella-oduah-an-amazon-of-transformation/
See here for awodman's statement: https://www.nairaland.com/1584563/stellas-citation-submitted-senate-during#20740662
and here for deride's statement: https://www.nairaland.com/1583301/stella-oduah-lied-mba-degree/18#20741114[/quote]If the statement of “stayed back to complete her master’s degree" has been she “enrolled for her master’s degree", the emphases should have been laid on the school instead of the country. Most Nigerians are dysfunctional tribal bigots. No wonder nothing works in the cesspit called Nigeria.

occam: This statement shows the woman is not credible. In a citation you have to be precise with the facts. (example: B.Sc, St Paul's College and MBA St. Paul College or whichever university)

Making vague statement like this indicates she's hiding material information

It is very unfortunate you have concluded Stella Oduah made the alleged statements.

[quote author=ndu_chucks]Some of us are willing to give Stella the benefit of the doubt, but I must confess that things are not looking very good. She was in the US for exactly 4 years and left with a master's degree. This remarkable achievement means that she completed her studies in record time. My question is, why did she not highlight such a significant achievement in her CV [/quote]When resources do not factor as impediments, I have personally seen brilliant kids complete programs from schools of physical sciences and engineering in a record time.

Only loudmouthed extroverts tend to make noise over such a significant achievement and create a special corner in their curriculum vitae. Why have you not inquired how she landed lucrative job at NNPC? Those who worked with her acknowledged the fact that she is not some slush academically.

eGuerrrilla: To be clear, I have seen enough of these cases in the world of employment to spot deliberate obfuscation from a mile off.



Get the undiscerning reader to accept the veracity of the first claim, which may or may not be true (before proceeding to St. Paul’s College Lawrenceville from 1978-1982, where she bagged her first Degree in Accounting. On completion of her first degree). Then tunnel the second and more important assertion (payload) which you know to be false - so she immediately stayed back to study for her Masters Degree which she achieved in 1983) - while leaving just enough wiggle room to feign complete innocence if found out. Brilliant!

eGuerrilla has an eye for this kind of chicanery.

Would you not agree that only a dullard will conclude that the statement “she immediately stayed back to study for her Masters Degree which she achieved in 1983” meant she stayed back at St. Paul’s College Lawrenceville?

From the context of the paragraph, the statement “she immediately stayed back to study for her Masters Degree which she achieved in 1983” meant she stayed back in USA to pursue her masters degree instead of returning to Nigeria.

Most Nigerians should not have been created by God. The same group of moronic dingbats that wanted Stella Oduah linked to the BMW car scandal injected the plank that she obtained BA and MBA from St. Paul’s College Lawrenceville, Virginia, United States of America. I must state unequivocally that most goofy airheads that tend to castigate Stella Oduah have not seen her academic credentials.
