Fair result

PAGAN 9JA:






Yorubas don't kill twins.

The twins are considered sacred in Ifa Orisha because of their nature of dual-forces.

I personally have many Babalawo associates and they are under oath not to lie.

I have also done my independent research.

You might be right there....

Although.....I will say that the way Abiku are treated is scary..............

A brief comment here.

Some Southerners think that Northerners should not run for presidency.

Well, the Constitution of Nigeria says that anyone is eligible for the leadership of this country.

So, until the constitution is amended, and rotational presidency is put in place......any Hausa fulani can run for president of Nigeria.

And, no , I am not a Northerner, and I think that Buhari and Sharia Kwnankwaso have no business running.

[b]I asked you a question, I didn't ask you to cry like a 5 years old begging for candy.

You've been crying to know the truth about the Honorary degree and I have looked you in the eyes and told you directly like a man. But instead of you to take it like a man, you're whining like a little child. Man what do you want next?

I know my answer wasn't favourable to you, you want to believe that it was a forged honorary degree. That kneegar attitude of pulling everyone down with you is beginning to show itself in you. Who forges a honorary degree btw? Ok! What are you proposing? She should be sacked cos of the address of a school she did not attend... Is it mandatory that she must know the address of the school that honoured her with an honorary PhD degree?

Now I have 1 question for you?

Q1 > What is the address of your school?

Son you're still in secondary school. When you grow up into a man, you'll know what they call prestige and by then you won't want to associate yourself with hoodrats and ghetto life like your proposed Fullerton city offer.[/b]

Still justifying lying on the CV.

Goodnight....I will hold no further conversation with thee, Brother Dough

I wouldst advise thee to mend thy ways, as thou seemest to justify the evil sin of lying.

O sinner repent! Remeberest thou Lot's Wife!

PAGAN 9JA:


You worship the Gods of you tribe, Dont you have this ounce of common sense?



Bullshyt!

Yorubas don't kill twins. If you were Yoruba, your uncles would've been considered near sacred, because the Ibeji force symbolizes dual nature.

Stop believing all those lies preached by the white colonial missionary, mary slessor.

They stole your wealth and fed you lies.



This is the rise of the 3rd front!

The winds of change are blowing over 9ja.

Actually I am not Yoruba.(mother is...pops from South South).....and unfortunately I do come from a tribe that killed twins at birth before Christianity came.

And yes, Yorubas too did kill twins.....and no, I do not consider them barbaric. It may have been a practice that started thousands of years ago during famines, and then acquired the veneer of traditional religious belief as justification.

flairlady: I hate religion.It is the worst thing that happened to the world.Jesus raised the dead,right?and he also said greater works would ye do?why are there no dead folks raising up around me?Bunch of sore losers.

In other words, if everyone follows flairlady's belief system...the world would be a tpeace and mankind would never cause trobule.

Atheist societies like the Soviet Union were hardly utopias, you know.

Take away religion, and the world will still be in a mess..we men would find something else to argue about.

After all....World War 2 was not fought in the name of religion!

[quote author=PAGAN 9JA][/quote]

So you want us to return to the pagan gods? Tell me.....which one out of the thousands Nigerians of all tribes worship?

And I am glad to be a Christian, because if my extended family was still following the gods....four of my uncles would have been killed at birth....because they were TWINS!

Anyways....glad to meet a proud Traditionalist like you here..... sometimes it gets boring talking to only Christians and Muslims here!

Did Stella say that there's a pacific Christian university in Glendale, California?

I refer you to Stella's CV. .....posted here [url]http://media.premiumtimesng.com/dev/wp-content/files/2014/01/Princess-Stella-Oduah-CV-.pdf
[/url]
Pay attention to page 4...honors and awards.....

Thank you.

Tambuwal looks attractive......the others look bad....especially that Buhari...who should retire.

The problem with the church in Nigeria is that we are so concerned about miracles and riches that we have become less concerned about being like Christ.

The reason why the young man was not raised from the dead is because those Chosen members wanted a miracle that would make them look powerful....a miracle that would not glorify God, but Chosen church. They wanted to use God to glorify their church , and attract members to said church.

God is our King and Father. He is not an instrument to be used in our hands for cheap parlor trick style Christianity. He is God and he is not man.

I am a born again Christian. I believe in Miracles.

BUT I also believe that miracles are for the purpose of glorifying God.....not glorifying man, or making us feel better about being Christians, or helping our faith. No, miracles are for the achievement of God's purpose.....which is not what we men want.

Time for the Nigerian church to stop focusing on 'goodies'.

Alfa Seltzer:

Yes. An honorary phd. So she did not attend that university. SO why are you on about this university? Maybe they have an office there. Maybe the degree was awarded in that town and not on campus. The question is, did Stella get a phd from the school? The school has not denied that she did.

In brief, Stella claims to have got a honorary PhD from pacific Christian university, Glendale, California.

Except that there has never been such a university in Glendale, Ca.

There is a Hope International University in FULLERTON ,CALIFORNIA!(FORMERLY PACIFIC CHRISTIAN COLLEGE).

Yet Stella's CV says that she got a honorary PhD from Pacific Christian university in Glendale California....where there is no such uni in Glendale.

So, either a mistake on Stella's CV.....or there is no PCU in Glendale.....and another lie by Stella.

And no, I am not Yoruba, and I do not like Fani-Kayode.

Alfa Seltzer:

Why would Stella concern herself with the campuses? She never studied there.
What are you guys trying to say?

Are ye thick ? I said we were discussing the honorary PhD degree that Stella got, not the BSc from the other university.

Alfa Seltzer:

Who told you that Stella was quoting the location of the university on her cv. How can she quote the location of a university she never attended?

Mr Rude Dough and I were discussing an honorary PhD degree that Stella got....not her BSc, or MBA.

rudedough:

Man, i'll continue shutting you up. Let's ask Nairalanders

How many Nairalanders who live in Ajegunle wrote AJEGUNLE as their address on their CV?

I have seen a whole lot who wrote "OLODI APAPA" instead of "AJEGUNLE" on their CV. Can Nairalanders honestly tell me that they are not economical with their house address when they live in a known notorious area.

So, because someone lies on his CV about where he comes from...that is why it is acceptable for Stella to lie about the location of the University where she got her HONORARY PhD.

Are you for real?

So it is OK to tell lies?

You said that the honorary PhD was not important earlier on.....so why did Stella put it on her CV THEN?...

You are excusing wrong doing because the woman is from your tribe.

Look son, if Stella is removed, Igbo LAND will not perish, the Enugu Airport will stand strong. Babalakin and Fani Kayode will still go to jail.....and life will continue.

And are you a Christian? I argue on other sites with atheists who call us Christians 'hypocrites'. From our exchange here, am sure many of the atheistis I spar with will promptly say 'See, I told you so'.

Stella lied...and it is sad you justify the lies.

manny4life:

One thing you fail to understand is that some universities do have secondary campuses in the same state, now I'm not saying that could be the case, I'm only telling of a possibility.

According to Wikipedia's profile of Hope Interantioal University(formerly Pacific Christian College...not university)..there is no secondary campus of the college in Glendale California!

Main Campus in Fullerton

Our main campus is located in North Orange County, in the city of Fullerton, California, U.S.A., and hosts our undergraduate residential programs.

The main buildings on the Fullerton campus were designed in the popular California-native Googie architecture, which was a form of modern architecture in the 1930s to 1960s. Googie architecture was known at the time to be futuristic and received influences from car culture and the Space and Atomic Ages. It remains intact today and provides our campus with a whole lot of character. The campus also features a newly designed Student Center which houses many important areas such as the cafeteria, fitness center, and student affairs.

You see....in Anaheim, Corona, Fullerton and Everett(WA).....NONE IN GLENDALE, CALIFORNIA!

more railways....more railways.

Alfa Seltzer:

which lie?

In brief, Stella got an honorary degree from a Pacific Christian University in Glendale Califronia....which Mr Rude Dough said was similar to a Hope International University(formerly Pacific Christian College) in Fullerton California.

When I called him out on the fact that Hope Uni was never in Glendale....but in Fullerton, he then said that the minister had to lie about the location of the university where she got her honorary degree because 'Fullerton is a messed up town'.

Thus saying that it is ok for Ms Oduah to lie on her CV about the location of the uiniversity which gave her an honorary degree.

Sad and pathetic.

rudedough:

It is an "HONORARY" PhD Degree and not an academic qualification.

Yes she LIED that she got her "HONORARY" PhD degree from Fullerton a Fvcked up city. That's understandable!! A minister of her caliber will not deem it fit to receive an "HONORARY" degree from the ghetto.

Do you have any more complains?

So, in other words.....she did lie.

And you think it is OK!

You know, I think that you have just proven my point....Stella is lying.

I am really sorry for you, son.....that you justify the fact that she lies shows that you sir, are a person of little or no character.

Lying is wrong....especially on a CV.

I am really sorry for this country called Nigeria.

God bless....and sayonara.

rudedough:





Kinda sound like a fvcked up place to me though. Well i don't know what you call fvcked up but this is an open secret and no one in Stella Oduah's position will want to put that on their CV.

So, she should lie about the location of THE honorary PhD university on her CV?

That means that you think that Ms Oduah is a liar!

rudedough:

Firstly, Like InvertedHammer has said, Fullerton is an hour drive from Glendale. Fullerton, California according to Wiki is a dilapidated city so that argument has been completely refuted.

Secondly, it is an "honorary"... I mean "HONORARY" degree. Look at her CV, it was listed under honor and awards and not under educational qualification. Live with it and call it a day.

If i am awarded the title "Dog catcher" in the badminton club in my University and i list it on my CV, it is none of your business as it does not affect you or give me an advantage in my career. Whatever honor Stella Oduah has is her personal achievement and it shouldn't be your problem.

1.Wikipedia says no such thing about Fullerton...especially as it is in Orange County, California.
So stop lying.

And New York has a high crime rate too..so I should lie about the fact that the uni I attended in New York was located in Boston, eh? Sad.

2.First, you said that the honorary phd was not important, now you are saying it is important.

3.So you are still accusing Stella of lying....by saying that she changed the adress of the university that gave her the honorary degree.? Do you realise what you are doing.....you are making Ms Oduah a liar?

4.Once again...there is no Hope International University or Pacific Christian College in Glendale California...they are in Fullerton...Ca........and by saying that Stella changed the city/adress of the school that supposedly gave her a Honorary degree...you are making her out to be a worse liar than she already is.

I got my degree in ABU, Zaria...a Muslim town and I am a Christian.I guess, based on your analogy...I should do the needful and change the address of ABU to Enugu...since as I am intending to go to the US for further study...I don't want them to think that I am am Islamist(I am a Christian BTW!).

rudedough:

Bro please stop taking me back and forth. Stella Oduah did not attend the school, she only received a honorary degree from the school.

Do me a favor, put Glendale, California and Fullerton, California on google map and see the distance between them yourself. If i live in Ajegunle and i tell someone that i live at Apapa, i am not far from the truth because the truth is, i don't want to say i live at Ajegunle because Ajegunle is a fvcked up place to live.

Fullerton, California is a pretty fvcked up environment and no one will want to put that on his/her resume. Here educate yourself and stop chasing thin air. I am not making excuses for the Minister, i am only stating the obvious.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fullerton,_California

BTW it's a freaking "honorary" PhD, you cannot get a job with that degree. It place no advantage in your career, it's just useless. Why are you getting worked up about it?

1.Fullerton, California is 33 miles from Glendale. Apapa is 3 miles from Ajegunle.

2.Fullerton and Glendlae are separate.

3.Why lie about the location of the university that g ave you a degree...when it can be easily checked.
Infact,by yoour comment on this.....you are inadvertently accusing Ms Oduah of being of poor character...by telling a white lie.


4.As I said.....Hope University(formerly Pacific Christian college) has always been in Fullerton. No Hope Uni in Glendale.

5.Either Stella made a mistake.....or she lied.....and PCU is fake

6.If a honorary phd is so useless.....why include it on the CV?

psalm68: pls i need some one to enlighten me on this,can someone without a MASTERS degree be awarded with an honourary PHD.

Certainly, but it has to be from a genuine university.

Stella's PhD is from Pacific Chirstian University, Glendale, California.

Some people now say that this university is now Hope International University.

Problem is.....Hope International University was formerly Pacific Christian College, and it was never located in Glendale California, but instead in Fullerton California.[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_International_University
[/url]
So, Pacific Christian University is NOT A REAL SCHOOL!

DerideGull:

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.

So Nigeria must disintegrate, because one igbo woman is accused of being corrupt?

Misuse of Biafran struggle in defense of corruption.......

Ojukwu must be rolling in his grave.....

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?

Hi Rude Dough.....you haven't answered my latest post.....

And I did not use Sahara reporters!

OK...without using Sahara reporters.....

1.Stella's CV says she got her Phd from Pacific Christian University , located in Glendale California.

2.You say that Hope Innternational University was PCU before.

3.From the Wikipedia link you gave me.....http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_International_University#History
History

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. In 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).


Which shows that Hope International Unviersity was never located in Glendale ,California but in FULLERTON, CALIFORNIA...and was once called Pacific Christian College.....which is quite different from a University (semantics, but I dighress).

4.Either there is a mistake in Stella's CV, or there is no Pacific Christian University in Glendale, California.

5.The only Chirstian Uni in Glendale is Azusa Pacific University (where the Ezinwa Brothers of Athletic fame went).

6.I have thus proven to you that Hope International Unversity is not the same as Pacific Christian University, as it was never located in Glendale either as Pacific Christian College, or as Hope university.

7.So, sorry, but Stella# Phd is bogus.

Let's step back for a moment and look beyond Oduah.

Back during the days of millitary rule, we knew that the act of army rule was illegal, yet we could not get rid of the army because many Nigerians (from the North)saw them as 'our sons and daughters in power'.

Likewise, when Alams was caught by the UK in money laundering, most Bayelsans declared him innocent and accused Obasanjo of teleguiding the Birtish police(As if the often racist Brit police would take orders from a black man!).

In 1999, the then VC of University of Jos was about to be removed for corruption.....but his kinsmen raised a stinker and said 'no , he is our son'.

And recall Yerima and the underaged bride....supported by hundreds of Zamfara women.

The thing is, in Nigeria, we are not really interested indealig with corruption. Because we are all beenfiting. Today, Stella is being defended by Igbos..because.....

Sadly, in Nigeria, the corrupt elite uses our sense of tribal solidarity to manipulate us into supporting evil. Meanwhile, we suffer the effects of a bad economy......and we cannot stop and say.....Get rid of these bad people.

All those Igbos defending Stella because of one airport, and Orji Kalu because he 'stood up to Obasanjo'.....have no light, few jobs and bad roads...and zero developemt, especially in the rural areas. For decades, the mass of Northerners defended army rule because of theoir brothers, and today, the North is a BIG mess. Yoruba AD supported OBJ in 2003...and much of Yorubaland is in poverty. And at state level we support looters in power....and wonder why we do not have development.

I wonder why Nigerians support such people without character, why Northern leaders eleven years ago went to kneel down and beg for the freedom of the son of a man who was involved in helping his father loot Nigeria dry, why corrupt Governors and senators continue to roam free , and people who ask honest questions are called liars and islamists.

I think that somehow Nigerians are not a people of good character. People of good character do not defend liars. I miss Prof Nnaji..who had the good character to resign once he was accused of corruption. The sad thing is that in Nigeria, we do not support good leaders. We do not even want development. We only want to chop oil money......and we raise a stinker if we do not get our share on time.

Nigerians awake!

KELAS: My award winning minister, ride on don't be demoralized by the antics of your detractors. They will continue to fail in all their gimmicks.we know your pedigree we are seeing the transformation you have brought to bear in the aviation sector and we expect more this year kudos to GEJ for not yielding to the call of some selfish individuals for your removal.

It is always great to meet actual Nigerians...they are known by the habit of boot-licking corrupt members of the species......

rudedough:

The School got her University status in 1997 while Stella Oduah got her PhD in 1998. May i remind you that there is something called academic calendar? Ever heard of 2014/2015 academic year? Does that mean we're in 2015?

If UNILAG had changed her name to MAULAG, do you think that the final year students in that academic year would have gotten a MAULAG certificate? Ever heard of transition period?

Bro stop making a straw man argument. Pacific Christian College seizes to be a college from the day it earned its University Status and Stella Oduah got her PhD in the same academic year.

Except that Pacific Chirstian college, now Hope International University.......is located in Fullerton, California, not Glendale, California

There was never a Pacific Chirstian College at Glendale, California!...but there was one at Fullerton, California!

[b]If you want to provide a source, please don't use Sahara Reporters. Sahara reporters don't care about credible news, what they care about is traffic. They don't mind writing that GEJ is a Cameroonian, as long as it gets them traffic and they get more paid ads, they are find.

The same Sahara Reporters that said President Jonathan got drunk on his birthday and was admitted for excessive drinking of ogogoro, we later discovered the President was admitted as a result of food poisoning.

The same Sahara Reporters that started the MBA scandal but Premium Times have published a statement that she did not cited an MBA on her resume.

The same Sahara Reporters that twisted the name of the University as Christian Pacific University instead of Pacific Christian University.

The same Sahara Reporters that said the school doesn't exist, now we know it existed but they changed their name to Hope International University.

The same Sahara Reporters that said they spoke to the Provost of the University but the Provost has denied that he did not speak to any News media.

The same Sahara Reports are saying that they have spoken to the US education department in California.

May i remind you that you cannot get personal information from a school or Govt body without a letter from the Department of justice.

Public Statement Regarding Hope International University

At its meeting on June 13-15 2012, the Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) placed Hope International University on Warning status. This action means that the Commission found Hope International University to have serious areas of noncompliance with the Standards of Accreditation. Accreditation of the University continues during this Warning period.

The Commission reviewed Hope International University under its Handbook of Accreditation and found that the University was seriously out of compliance with elements of Standard 2 (Achieving Educational Objectives through Core Functions), Standard 3 (Developing and Applying Resources and Organizational Structures to Ensure Sustainability), and Standard 4 (Creating an Organization Committed to Learning and Improvement). This action was taken following a Special Visit to Hope International University on April 2-4, 2012 and a review of that visiting team’s report.

There will be a follow-up visit in spring 2014 to review the University’s progress in addressing Commission concerns. The institution will be given an opportunity to respond to the Commission concerns both in writing and before the Commission at its meeting in June 2014.

This action is subject to a right of review under the WASC Policy on Commission Review Process.

The Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities accredits 162 baccalaureate and graduate degree-granting institutions in California, Hawaii, Guam, and the Northern Marianas Islands. The Western Association of Schools and Colleges is one of eight regional accrediting commissions and is recognized by the United States Department of Education.

A copy of the Commission’s letter describing this action and the team report as well as a link to the institutional response (if provided to WASC by the institution) can be found here.
