The British government has begun a probe of a Nigerian woman, Dr. Tina Beloveth Powerful, whose school is named Havard School UK. She has also been sued by the Harvard University in the United States for using almost the same name.

The UK Milton Keynes Trading Standards department is conducting the investigations into the controversy surrounding Powerful’s university that runs from a city centre flat in North Third Street in CMK in the United Kingdom.

A spokesman for Trading Standards confirmed that the Nigerian is under investigation but refused to give details.

“As it is an ongoing investigation we cannot comment in detail about it,” he said.

Media reports, however, suggest the trading standards investigation may involve false claims on Havard’s website that the school is affiliated to the Institute of Administrative Management. The wording on the school’s website has been changed to read “is to be accredited to.”

However, Dr. Beloveth Powerful insists she has not done anything wrong, adding that she was on a “mission from God to help people study.”

“I have six degrees myself, two of them from Nigeria where I came from,” she said in a report. “I transformed my life and God has given me power to transform others’.”

The Nigerian claimed she is warnot aware of the trading standards investigations into Havard.

Dr. Powerful, whose school is named Havard School of Management and Technology UK, is also being sued by Harvard University of the US. The American university, which name differs from Dr. Powerful’s institution by just a letter, is suing for alleged trademark infringement.

But Dr Powerful is counterclaiming for £2 million – the money, she says, she has spent so far on setting up her school.

“A good name is better than silver and gold,” she said. “Having said that, we are telling them we want to step aside but we have spent money in advertising, marketing and productions.”

The 46-year-old Nigerian also denied claims she caused academic confusion by calling her school Havard, explaining that the name ‘Havard’ was from her grandfather.

“My paternal grandfather’s first name was Havard. I chose to immortalise his name. I never thought about Harvard,” she said.

After her university degree at the University of Port Harcourt, where she obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Language, Powerful secured a well-paying, high- brow job with the Banking Industry abroad and rose to become a Strategic Banking Branch Manager. She also obtained a Masters degree in Business Administration Executive (MBA) at the University of Lagos in 1998.

This former bank manager recently completed her Master of Laws (LLM) with a merit 2008 and Bachelor of Laws (LLB) from the University of Buckingham respectively, where she won the University of Buckingham overall best student award in Jurisprudence (2006). She also obtained a Post Graduate Diploma in the Redeemers School of Discipleship UK in 2009.

Her husband, Pastor Emma Powerful, also called as Pastor Uchenna Emmanuel Onyedike is the Senior Pastor of Belovet International Ministries-The City Of God and also a Co-founder Agapelove Stop Youth Crimes Global Network Charity/Welfare Outreach of the Beloveth International Ministries.
