So you have been caught RED-HANDED. PLS Answer:

Did Stealer Oduah attend a university called Pacific Christian University as indicated in her CV OR not?

OYA ANSWER QWENSION. [/quote]No she didn't claim to have attended the school. She only claimed she got an honorary doctorate from the university.

Pacific Christian University does not exist and never has. Perhaps the minister meant to type Pacific Christian College on her CV.

rudedough: Alright then, let's do this like gentle men. You can find it on Hope International University website that they are comprise of 5 colleges and Glendale College is one of them, hence the transfer window.

Pacific Christian University is now Hope International University.

"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."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hope_International_University

I hope we don't have to argue over the existence of Pacific Christian University anymore.

Oga, there was never Pacific Christian University! There was a Pacific Christian College which changed its name to Hope International University when it became a university in 1997. If you look to the right side of the Wikipedia page you cited here, you will see a place tagged "Former Names" You will see that the names listed there are 2. Neither of them is PACIFIC CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY.

Also please help me with a link of the Hope International University webpage where they listed Glendale College as one of the colleges. I have visited the site and I can't seem to find it. All I could find are a list of CAMPUSES...and none of them is called "Glendale" or located in Glendale, California.

rudedough: You guys keep springing up new theories that is at the brink of being refuted automatically.

Hope International University is comprised of 5 schools. Glendale college is one of them. Educate yourself Sir.

Do you have another propaganda you want to sell?

By the way also, Pacific Christian University does not exist. You can run a search on google and see for yourself.

By the way, please don't paint me in your colours. I will speak out against corruption regardless of which tribe or ethnic group the perpetrator comes from. Thankfully, I do not originate from any of the major tribes. I am a humble boy from an "minor" ethnic minority in the backwaters of Kogi State.

Glendale College is different from Hope International University being located in Glendale. That was the angle that Awodman was trying to sell to us. Glendale College is the name of a school located in Fullerton, California...according to your link.

ba7man: Big deal, I can edit my CV and post it online in less than 2mins.

I wonder what took them so long to think up that cover up method.

It still doesn't explain all those online pages with missing information concerning her M.B.A.

"M.B.A in the United States" littered all over the Internet definitely came from somewhere.

Who else would be better to present it than the Senate that were careless enough to let her slip by. This would help redeem their incompetence.

Please discuss.

People believe what they want to believe my brother.

On Nairaland, I have since made up my mind never to join issues with anyone. I speak my mind and move on.

This is cheery news.

It would boost the income of cassava farmers.

awodman: Pacific Christain University exists...it is now known as Hope International University www.hiu.edu/about/history/

Not true sir. Hope International university does not have a campus in Glendale.

taharqa: You now have both Videos. Did SR remove parts of d complete Vid to make it look like NOI was d Aggressor here or not? Did they present d very uncultured and rude way the Chair of d Committee talked to NOI or did they remove most of those parts? Did SR manipulate their own video to push an agenda and make an individual look bad....PS: this Channels FULL Vid was what elicited d angry reaction towards d Childish behaviour of d Chair by very many Nigerians including Dr Ezekwelize. I remember Dr Ezekwesili saying matter-of-factly, that d Chair of d Committee wud not qualify as Research Assistant to NOI in d real world but for politics...

Oga stop defending the indefensible and be objective for once. Both videos were edited. SR video showed the proceedings from the beginning, channels video showed the video from when BOTH THE CHAIRMAN AND THE MINISTER began the heated exchange. BOTH of these public officials should learn to conduct themselves with decorum in future.

Oh, and by the way, Dr, Ezekwesili retracted her tweet and apologised for insulting the committee chairman. You must not have gotten that memo.

Dear Mr. Nwabuikwu,

I am glad you only claimed the Premium Times video was "edited to leave out important aspects" and not that the video is fake. I have watched both videos and must agree with you that several aspects seen on the Channels TV video where not shown on the Premium Times video. Having said that however, I like to point out to you that the PTimes video contained "certain other "important aspects" that show that madam Minister was not as victimized as she made out. It showed that Channels had equally edited their own video, leaving out "important aspects" that showed that the committee chairman showed the Minister respect, probably losing it when the Minister began to play to the gallery by trying to whip up unnecessary headlines.

Or else how do you explain a minister who showed up over an hour late for an appointment of such importance, jovially munched almost half a bottle of peanuts only to start complaining of ill-health when the session started. She pointedly and clearly told the committee that she would not be able to give 100 per cent and the committee offered to excuse her and she began to throw tantrums.

Mr Special Adviser, somewhere between those two videos lies the truth of what really transpired on that day. The committee chairman needs to learn to control his temper seeing that he holds such an exalted public office. But your principal also needs to stop been such a drama queen. She is not doing us a favour by holding that office and if the rigours become too much for her at any point, she is welcome to resign.

Sincere 9gerian: The minister of aviation, Stella Oduah, has come under attack once again. Few weeks ago, the controversy was about the purchase of 2 armoured vehicles. When it seems the minister has emerged from that controversy unscathed, a new controversy is brewing. This time the allegation is that she lied about her educational qualification.

Let me state clearly that if (A VERY BIG IF) indeed Stella Oduah lied about acquiring MBA degree in the US, then she has disappointed me personally. I must also add that she acted stupiidly. The earlier this society places less emphasis on paper qualifications and more emphasis on peoples abilities/skills, the better for our country.

However, my advice to Stella Oduah and her aides in the face of the latest controversies is to activate the IGNORE button.

It must be stated that most of those asking for the head of Stella Oduah in the last few months are not doing so for the love of country or because they'r interested interested in good governance, progress and development. It is all politics, politics, politics and more politics. Nothing more.

For me, and I think for most Nigerians, politics takes the back seat. All we want now is PROGRESS, GOOD GOVERNANCE AND DEVELOPMENT. These are the things most Nigerians demand of Stella Oduah and others in govt, and not MBA degree or professorship.

In this regard, Stella Oduah, as minister of aviation, has shown in the last few years, that she can deliver where others have failed. She has shown herself to be focused and hardworking. The various projects going on in the aviation sector at the moment shows that there is JUDICIOUS use of resources in that sector.

Yes if this controversy had happened in advanced countries and if it is proven to be true, Stella Oduah would have to resign. But Nigeria is not an advanced country. If we apply the standard of those advanced countries across board, then all the leading politicians in Nigeria today should be rotting in JAIL FOR LIFE. In the same vein, for goodness sake, should a person or group of people who overthrew a democratically elected govt 3 decades ago still be relevant politically today in any sane or advanced country? I dont think so. But here we are, a Buhari is still parading himself as one of the leaders of APC and a potential presidential candidate, and he is being cheered on by his supporters.

So bottomline, I think I and many Nigerians are justified in holding on TENACIOUSLY to one-eyed politicians/political leaders in a country of very blind politicians. More so when those trying to push out these one-eyed politicians/political leaders are doing so for political reasons.

So in conclusion, I advise Stella Oduah and her aides to keep mute on this latest onslaught. Any response to the allegations will further exacerbate the controversy because if she starts responding, then she should expect more questions. She should learn from how the CBN governor, Sanusi, managed the scandal concerning him and his mistress. Stella Oduah should stay focused, keep her eyes on the ball and sustain the very good works she is already doing in the aviation sector.

There was a time when I used to respect your views and opinions even though I did not agree with a lot of them. But how do you expect anyone to take you serious after the post above?

Omexonomy: One common sh1t among these poster so far is tha they are all from southwest.
I am from middle belt
why the hatred
I recieved my lectures in one school and wrote my exam in another school because the school and cause i went for were not accredited.
Which school will write on my C .V.

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.

Interesting video on a similar situation in South Korea.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOAAUS1A5pA

Those guys don't play meeeen! Those korean teachers make this Nigerian teacher in the OP's video look like he was tickling those students

toluxa1: Last year I taught in a secondary school for nearly a year. I was class teacher for the Basic 6, while I taught at the secondary section. The guy in the video below is the computer teacher. After the Principal, I think he is the most feared teacher. When he teaches the whole class is always very quiet and attentive. You dare not make noise. Some teachers even call him to help cane their pupils. I took this video last year during one of his disciplinary sessions and uploaded to youtube instantly. It has nearly 40,000 views already with all sorts of abusive comments toward the teacher, obviously from viewers outside Africa.

The question is, what do you think about corporal punishment in schools (in Nigeria). Is there an alternative.

In my time in that school, I personally discovered there is no other working method you can use for children of nowadays. The effectiveness of the rod cannot be overlooked. If you like shout from now till tomorrow, they wont listen, remove better koboko and see the difference.

There's gotta be a better way.

tokunboh: This video has been heavily edited just to make the dis-honourable member honourable. Welldone, Premium Times!

[url][/url]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r3QAvoRyR8

The Premium times video wasn't edited to exonerate anyone. The video actually showed what transpired before tempers flared and what Channels TV reported happened. It was Channels TV that actually edited their video dishonestly.

If after you watch the premium times video you still feel that the committee chairman was high handed, then your situation is hopeless.

I just watched a video of this same session as covered by Channels news and I can't help but marvel at the seeming difference between both videos. Channels edited their video to make it look like the committee members were insensitive to an "ailing" minister who expressed readiness to sacrifice her well being to be at the session out of "respect" for the committee.

The Premium times video however clearly showed that the committee did the right thing by asking the minister to leave and return at a later date in view of her ill-health which she herself agreed would stop her from giving 100% responses to the questions.

The media is indeed powerful.

So what was all the fuss about? The video clearly shows that the committee members showed the minister utmost respect in view of her "ill-health" and she chose to get all dramatic.

She was however, well enough to munch almost half a bottle of peanuts before the session came to order.

Na wah for this country sha.

Sincere 9gerian: Evil people have now congregated in APC. If we can nuke APC now, over 50% of Nigeria's problem would have been solved.

After that, we just need to nuke the PDP including Mr. President to ensure that the other 50% of Nigeria's problem is solved permanently.

Just another case of a poor implementation of a good policy. Our governments over time have always managed to put the cart before the horse.

At OP

At what point did the minister state that the pipeline was been vandalized in Lagos specifically?

The link below makes for interesting reading on the subject matter:

http://taiwosworld..com/2012/07/female-regents.html

DerideGull: How many royal families do you have in Yoruba land or does it mean every family in Yoruba land is royal family?

The Akure monarchical system is designed so that there are several traditional ruling families. The throne is rotated among these families. once it is the turn of any of the ruling houses, any male member of that family can aspire to become oba. The oracle will ultimately decide who mounts the throne. The new Oba will then sit on the throne until his death or deposition as was the case with the penultimate Oba who was deposed by Mimiko's government for assaulting one of his wive's physically. The throne then rotates to the next ruling house.

Following the death of the king, a regent, usually his first daughter is appointed to oversee the affairs of the kingdom pending the conclusion of the burial rites of the deceased king and the installation of a new king. She is not referred to as an Oba but as Adele. I do not know for sure why it has to be a woman. my guess is that they need someone who isnt under any illusions about the specificity of the temporary nature of her role and might begin to suffer delusions of grandeur and aspire to become permanent.

Traditionally, a woman cannot be King in yoruba land, but there have been situations where a regency lasts for years...even decades.

Symphony007: stop fooling yourself. Get a t.v and watch a newcast or tune your radio to any station and listen to the news. Every member of the boy's farmily and even the survivors farmilies has said non of the boys were politicains. This has been repeated in the media since morning and the police don't seem to know what to say. Nigeria info radio interviewed the brother of the deceased at their home in emuoha and even the brother of a survivor at the university of port harcourt teaching hospital. Stop drinking that kool aid and aknowledge the deep unproffesionalism of the rivers state police command.

You really should quit responding to trolls...

fabulous4u: read what you wrote again and just admit you are just a big fool

Can't you make your point without insults??

I believe in one Nigeria!!!

taharqa: Interesting article.... I wud also love to hear d RSG's side sha

You might want to skim through the thread below:

Kelsoft provided some insights on the same issue therein.

The lizard said to itself that if no one will commend it for surviving the fall from the top of the great iroko tree, it will commend itself....that is why it nods its head in self adulation always....

@Kelsoft

Thank you for balancing the story. I always have my suspicions when I read a skewed story.

hercules07: African countries have not had it good after separation, Sudan and Ethiopia/Eritrea come to mind. The disintegration of Nigeria is going to be violent and I do not see it happening for some time. There are too many vested interests in the Nigerian project for it to happen without violence, the international community will also not allow it except it is peaceful. The aftermath is also going to be very very violent, the North will descend into chaos because the BH guys will want to take over, the Christians in the North will want to defend themselves, the Niger Delta guys will fight for resources internally and externally, Biafra will need to fight the Niger Delta for resources and the spill over of the war in the North will bring refugees East, Yorubas will have to deal with the North and fallout of religious wars, so many things will happen in the event of a breakup. I will rather we have a true federal constitution where states can develop at their pace and control the bulk of governance power.

These are my sentiments exactly.

macof: I don't think your ears and eyes are open because if they are you would know that NL is small.
Many Yoruba groups are out there advocating for disintegration

I am aware that there are as many staunch proponents of disintegration as there are of a one unified Nigeria. Both the ye and naysayers cut across all of the regions. Apart from groups like MASSOB and a few others however, most of the agitations for a division are online on sites like Nairaland.
