‘GHE GHE UNIVERSITY’: Coalition urges NUC to crack down on social media ‘universities’

A coalition of academics, students, alumni, and concerned citizens has issued a strong protest urging the National Universities Commission, NUC, to take immediate regulatory action against social media comedians and content creators who misappropriate the term “university.”

In a letter addressed to the Executive Secretary and Board of the NUC, the coalition decried the rise of parody institutions like “Geh Geh University” and “Blessing CEO University,” stating that such usage is not harmless entertainment , but a threat to the integrity and value of Nigerian higher education.

According to Dr. Charles Ekeh, spokesperson for the Coalition for Protection of Academic Integrity in Nigeria, “the term ‘university’ is a legally protected designation earned through rigorous accreditation. Allowing comedians to adopt this title dilutes its meaning and disrespects the years of dedication and excellence behind genuine academic institutions.”

He said the use of “university” by social media personalities undermines the academic standards and respect earned by real institutions accredited by the NUC. It also stressed that the NUC Act clearly prohibits any institution from using the word “university” without express approval, warning that inaction against the parody entities undermines regulatory authority.

Ekeh further warned that while some audience members appreciate the comedy, vulnerable and uninformed individuals may be misled into believing these parodies offer legitimate courses or certificates, opening the door to scams.

He added that genuine Nigerian universities are vital to national development and global competitiveness, saying that equating them with comedic pages erodes their standing both locally and internationally.

According to him coalition, allowing such misuse sets a dangerous precedent, as fraudulent degree mills may exploit the “comedy” label, complicating ongoing efforts to combat degree racketeering in Nigeria.

He further outlined specific demands, including a public condemnation by the NUC of unauthorised usage of the term “University,” the issuance of cease-and-desist orders to offending social media accounts, collaboration with the National Communication Commission and social media platforms to enforce compliance, and the launch of a public education campaign to help Nigerians distinguish accredited institutions.

Ekeh emphasised that the protest is not aimed at curbing creativity or humour but at protecting the sanctity of the educational system. “Defending our academic institutions’ integrity is not a joke,” he stated.

Nawa ooo

We major on minor things in this country

We too play in Nigeria.

People gain notoriety for doing the most dumb things

Wahala no come too much like this?
Where them suppose face, them no go face

Who are the people taking this guy serious? He's just having fun on his own and trying to use people for traffic for Elon Musk money and other platform.

Abeg, I no get strength for all these things

Can you imagine. So these people no get any other work to do

They can ban him from using the word University, but they can’t stop him from enlightening his audience.

They should channel that energy to improve our education sector.
Ghe Ghe University has nothing do with more pressing issues happening in the country currently

What does the online university do? Do they preach violence or crime? Or just speech protected under the law?

So una no get job, abi? Nonsense!

RuBBBBBBBBISHHHH

There is University of Suya too. Some people are funny

Saidaboj was busy talking nonsense and misleading young girls with impressionable minds, yet nobody said anything

Now, Mr. GheGhe has come up with his own strategy to counter the heresy that is coming from saidaboj and her likes, the whole world suddenly wakes up to claim what I don't know

The fact remains that more and more men will continue to get redpilled until everybody finally get sense

The next thing the dummy will do is misspell the word "university"

The coalition must be jobless. So its members cannot tell when young people are catching cruise?

Aren't our universities a joke already? We don't know what we are doing in this country. We like to chase shadows.

Surprised no one has established social media university of hard knocks in Nigeria

koyeni:
Nawa ooo

We major on minor things in this country

This is not minor o. Before you know it. This geh-geh would have brain washed millions of gullible people.

They are angry that people have started solving problems for themselves

When you fail to provide direction for the youth, they will find a way by force to earn a living. Abeg, he should switch to Ghe Ghe Institute of Wisdom.

Misplaced priority 😕

It's because most people in this part of the world are completely dumb and daftt. It's easier for them to understand nonsense and dumb things. Aren't this the people who believe that Jonah spent 4 days in the belly of the fish.
