PhD no be beans. And when it comes from Unilag and out of usually tough supervisory interaction between two females, then you are almost sure that Helen Paul is worthy of this proof of higher intellectual capacity she had just acquired. By the way, that guarantees another stream of income.

Congratulations Tatafo!

The same Unilag where Odunlade Adekola who can't speak proper English successfully graduated from? I hear you.

Who is fooling who? PhD in Nigeria is bagged by the illiterate who can't even construct a sentence in English. It's all about wearing gown& title and answering doctor that their levels of intellect don't match. Her caption says it all "first stand up comedian to bag a phd' That is all Helen Paul couldn't wait to say. PhD my foot .Nigeria is a mess even a danfo driver will bag a PhD if he greases the right palms.

shut up that gutter you call a mouth. Must you comment?you must be mentally degraded. Do you know what it takes to get a PhD? you can greese peoples palms to get a BSc but not a PHd. A dull person cant get that level of qualification with millions. PHd is not for mediocres like you.

ThothHermes:
Helen Paul is actually a very smart woman. I don't know what you are on about.

Smart with comic banters. Sure is.

No need to get personal. I feel as though this might be Helen Paul but I do have a PhD from Chicago Illinois. So when I say it's all about the title and greasing in Nigeria I know what I am on about. Nigerian Doctorate Degree Holders are majorly a bunch of idle hands with nothing to do other than acquiring titles that do not match their intellectual abilities when u have a one on one with them. It's the honest truth. Bitter but true.

Ohhh, you are talking about you getting a PHd from Ajegunle polytechnic. fucking pervert who thinks he can hype himself on nairaland. So tell me with your USA PhD, what have you achieved in life. The lady is question is trying to diversify to acqualize her dreams and you are there hating in poverty. idiot

This is getting interesting. You resorting to insults and personalising issues points to one fact. You are Helen Paul hit by the bitter truth. We know a lot of people in the Entertainment Industry in Nigeria are on Nairaland lashing back. Well now that we know your moniker "small" doctor in height and "zero doctor" in intellect. We shall take note.

Geenosko:
If it's easy go and get phd na
If not for inferiority complex why don't you just read the post and pass?

I bagged a PhD five years ago from Chicago Illinois and know for a fact that a lot of PhD holders in Nigeria have very low IQ and interacting with them makes you wonder how they became "doctors" of letters. Hmnn.

i am not what you imagine, just on nairaland but its unfortunate people like you are here with myopic thinking. People how get envious of other peoples success. Go and improve on your financial status and stop hating. Rich folks don't hate because they are satisfied, hating is a sign of poverty and frustration

ensamy:
Big lie. Go and start yours if you have the right qualifications and the eyes of your understanding will be enlightened to know what you have been blinded of.
Congratulations to Dr Helen Paul, atleast she has something to fall back on.

I am through and bagged from Chicago Illinois five years ago and I have not been blinded. I know what I mean when I say their degrees do not match their intellectual projections and that is a fact.

You are stone dead blinded bro. A wise man once told me: Success does not speak English, it speaks money.

Poverty is sickening. I don't partake know it. Please nothing said is untrue. You find the truth hard to swallow. That's your business.

madridsta007:
So you have your PhD?

Yes I do. I bagged mine five years ago and not from a messy education system.

Taking this personal madam. Don't be so furious. I am just being honest. No hassles please

1Sharon:
Most of them bag these degrees and can't even do anything with them, their life still stays the same. What is Helen Paul going to do with this degree?

Nigerian are experts in bagging these kind of degrees that do nothing for them.

I wish ppl could be more innovate when it comes to education

See mesee wahala. Did she take your place in the graduate school Abi you loan am money? If she decides to tear the certificate.....it is still her thing, not yours haunty.
Someone cannot get a degree in peace again.....haba

Deji63:

and you are in the messy country with your parents..probably in a messy house in the mainland. infant if i had a magnum, i wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on ya dead skull

Deji63:
Smart with comic banters. Sure is.

Na bad belle dey worry you. Do you know her personally?

Why do you assume that it's impossible for her to bag a PhD?

Why is it inconceivable to you that a comedian might also possess academic prowess?? Are comedy and the academia mutually exclusive?? What exactly is strange here??

Deji63:
The same Unilag where Odunlade Adekola who can't speak proper English successfully graduated from? I hear you.

Odunlade Adekola did part-time program for people nongraduate workers. Helen Paul did PhD after 1st and 2nd degrees. She deserves some respect. It doesn't come cheap or easy.

Why not give PhD program a trial in Unilag or any other university and then give a feedback after 6 months. Let's see.

With the kain mentality above, it is certain people are wandering about with a lot of negative energy. Why would you debase anything autochthonous? Must it just be from America to be a good one?

Bro, many brains need to be reconfigured!

It is far easy to buy PhD certificate from one of the thousands private universities in United States than it is in Nigeria. Nigerian academics match up with their counterparts all over the world. If you subscribe to relevant international journals you will understand what I am saying.

I wonder why a PhD holder from Chicago Illinois would make very sweeping generalisations it seriously puts the quality of your PhD in doubt.

I'm surprised you are saying this


Yes a good number of PhD guys in Nigeria get comma

but much more are sound

especially from my alma mater university of Lagos

some of them develop themselves to standard

and are currently on post docs abroad


it's a function of the person really

toprealman:

As in ehn... the amount of bad energy flying around raises cause for alarm. Let them enrol for PhD, they will not. Someone bags a PhD they start spewing nonsense. May God remove the bitterness in their hearts.

Bros, a PhD is a tough endeavour. If you have not gone through it, don't downplay the efforts of those who have. Eminent Professors like Muyiwa Falaiye, Jim Unah, Charles Soludo, Ike Mowete, Sophie Oluwole (Mamalawo) and a host of others bagged their PhDs in Nigerian universities and they can hold their own anywhere in the world.

If you think Helene Paul is unworthy of the doctorate, well, having being in the university system for more than 15 years, I can tell you for a fact that no university in Nigeria would award a PhD to someone who is unqualified. It would injure their reputation. I have a PhD myself and I know what i am talking about. The Professors that assess your thesis would make you sweat your pants. A PhD is a venture that goes beyond academic brilliance. You need resilience, self-motivation, falling down, getting up, challenging norms, defending your views to pull it through. I struggled as everyone else I know who has a PhD. It even got to a stage, I started interrrogating my advisors and questioned their theories. It earned me their respect, but one of them hates me till today.

The only issue I have with Helene Paul is that she felt the need to prove herself by stating she's the first female stand-up comedian to bag a PhD because this gives people like you the right to think that obtaining a PhD na beans. If you think it is so easy, enrol for one, and when a Professor gives you a scientific problem to solve wey fit give you hypertension if you think am too much, humility would become second nature to you.

Celebrate people when they succeed because you don't know their struggles. You too shall be celebrated. If you have nothing positive to say, simply ignore.

You have said it all.

Deji63:
Go to Universities and see half baked Lecturers who can't speak proper English yet say they have bagged a PhD Degree. It's a mess. I have a PhD from the US and when you know you know.

Dr. Deji, you state that you have a doctorate from Chicago, Illinois. I like to believe its a tier-one school. If this is true, can you convince us readers that ability to speak good English equates to being educated? Patrick Obahiagbon, notorious for his grandiloquence, actually bores his listeners even when he is making sense. Femi Fani-Kayode with his Queen's English does not demonstrate so much common sense in dealing with controversial matters as you know.

I think as a PhD, you ought to be careful of the hasty generalization lest the essence of the degree comes to question. If you do have a PhD, you'd be humbled by the vast galaxy of knowledge that you cant tap the tiniest drop in one lifetime. BTW, I spoke and wrote better English than my advisors, but they are wiser and more experienced than me. Wisdom is indeed profitable to direct...be guided bros and apologize to that woman who worked hard to earn her degree.

Wow
Congrats to her. A wonderful achievement.

Touching on the intellect of the average PhD holder in Nigeria does not in any way mean that I attended a tier1 school. Some Nigerians simply do not appreciate the truth. Like I said a host of PhD holders in Nigeria are half baked and can't match their counterparts world wide. The system is corrupt including the education system.

I know from Helen Paul's caption that all she bagged a PhD for is for the show. When an individual like this is challenged intellectually i am double sure that she will flunk badly. Half baked doctors who have nothing upstairs abound in a country where corruption took over the polity for 16 years.

Patience Jonathan claiming to be a graduate for instance says it all. The spate of corruption at EVERY level is appalling and we are glad we have great hands on board now who will try to fix the nauseating mess if possible.

Stand up comedy has been on for donkey years and attaching that title to herself without having her facts on the history of EVERY comedian past and present in Nigeria tells us she didn't bag that degree for the knowledge but for the show which is another menace in the Nigerian society. bagging degrees for the show and adding no value whatsoever.

I advise that you go into some Nigerain Universities, chat up some acclaimed PhD holders and see what you get.

It's that simple.
