What a pity 10% first class again. the population is not even up to a dept in some fed universities and yet the no of first class is more than when over 2000 students graduates all together. Anyway that is what the rich in Nigeria wants.
ReplyDeleteAlso no amount of political doctorates conferment on people can change the status quo
Na so first class easy? It shows clearly that some private uni are just awarding degree based on how much you can offer.
ReplyDeleteDrote degree under "my fellow windows"
ReplyDelete1st class ke, Dame doctorate, all abuse, abuse , abuse. shame.
ReplyDeleteI appeal to all universities to please honour the first lady similarly. She was starved of degree when she was young and nerf to make up. She has achieved what no first lady in the world has achieved and must get all the doctorate degree available. Olodo. Can't she reject these mockery degrees?
ReplyDeleteThe woman is moving higher while the haters are still crying.
