Embattled Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah,
and her associates have spent the last several
hours scrambling to clean up the minister’s
biographies on the Internet, following
allegations that she lied about her academic
qualifications, PREMIUM TIMES can report
today.
News website, SaharaReporters, had Monday
quoted authorities at St. Paul’s College, where
Mrs. Oduah claimed she studied for Bachelor
and Masters degrees, as saying they did not
award her an MBA at anytime as the
university does not even have a graduate
school or graduate programme.
The minister is yet to respond to the
allegations. Efforts by PREMIUM TIMES to get
her to comment for this story were
unsuccessful.
Joe Obi, her special assistant on media, did
not answer or return calls.
Yakubu Datti, the spokesperson of the
aviation agencies, who usually speak for her,
said he was not aware of the allegation
against the minister, and that he would revert
after consulting the minister. He is yet to do
so as at the time of publishing this.
However, this newspaper has observed an
attempt by the minister and her aides to
revise her profiles on the web with a view to
cleaning up any reference to St. Paul’s College
in her history.
Already, Mrs. Oduah’s biography on the
website of the Ministry of Aviation has been
revised, with references to St. Paul’s College
now wiped out.
Stella Oduah’s new bio without a university
“Oduah-Ogiemwonyi received her Bachelors
and Masters Degree (in Accounting and
Business Administration respectively) in the
United States,” the new profile said of Mrs.
Oduah’s education, without any reference to
the university she attended.
The Wikipedia page of the ministe r has also
been hurriedly edited, and it now has no
reference to the university Mrs. Oduah
attended.
All links and reference materials on the
Wikipedia page capable of linking the minister
to the university that has disowned her have
also been deleted.
Even the minister’s personal website has
been reviewed to remove any reference to St.
Paul’s College.
While the links leading to Mrs. Oduah’s
foundation and photographs remain active, the
other principal link, which should lead to her
history page, has been deactivated.
It’s unclear whether it was being edited at the
backend when PREMIUM TIMES visited the
site.
Mrs. Oduah had in a resume she presented to
the Senate as a ministerial nominee in 2011
indicated that she obtained a Master’s degree
in Business Administration (MBA) from St.
Paul’s College Lawrenceville, Virginia, United
States.
Stella Oduah’s new Wikipedia page without a
university
But SaharaReporters quoted the President of
the college as saying his university had never
in its 125-year history had a graduate school
or graduate program.
The Provost Vice President of Academic
Affairs, and the Vice President of Institutional
Development said in response to the website’s
inquiries, “We don’t offer any graduate
programs here.”

You go fear fear nah!

No wonder! It's a life of scandals! A woman with no enviable pedigree becoming a Minister and enjoying full backings of the powers that be. It's unfortunate the we have small people (rogues) in big offices!

How can Nigeria ever progress with this kind of person.?

Disgrace of the highest order. Let's wait for the presidency response. Since the available online profile is different from the one presented to National Assembly in 2011, I wait to see the next political and legislative action

End time editing of profiles

How do you even accept a nomination as minister of aviation knowing you lack the qualifications. Aviation eh.this is serious. the woman should be prosecuted for deceiving the Nigerian president, legislators and people.

THIS IS A CRIME

Instead of fessing up and apologizing for her errors, she's deploying the same crooked and disgraceful moves with no good effects, the foolish woman is basically confirming her crooked and shady ways including the dirty allegations circling all over her...

Seductive woman. She has seduced her oga at the top with her charming brown eyes.

Show me the "snapshots" of the Wikipedia Page showing where it was stated that Sнε attended St Paul's College if you claim Sнε edited it

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.

SaharaReporters and Premium times are surely the best thing to emerge from Nigeria lately. I envy them for having smart and hardworking pple in thier companies.
Pls dont stop at Oduah. Like Oliwer Twist, Nigerians are begging for more!

The woman is a crook. Nigeria i hail thee...

dats what we call 'fastafosto'

Omen100: End time editing of profiles

As in...

It's her personal website that tripped me the most. All of a sudden, the tab that will link to "HER HISTORY" isn't working, while others are functional. Naija, I hail thee.

Oduah magic.......the more you look, the less you see.

Imagine a whole minister, no wonder foreign institutions give Nigerians strigent measures for certificate verification. Do we now blame them?

her eyes don see wheennn

This woman has really shamed her self! ...She should be prosecuted

LocalChamp: WiKi Screenshot before it was edited

If that was before it was edited like you claim..there is nothing showing "St Paul's College" there

The truth is: she is not alone.
Many are faking their university certificates, while the ones with genuine certificates don't have any substance to show for it, e.g: president Ebele Goodluck Jonathan.

Fact: Many wealthy Nigerians and top government officials prefer things to continue this way.

Are you always like this.

I guess we should bow to tribal sentiments at the expense of our peace and development. Soon your likes would
be given a portfolio and would continue like this.

Are we talking of your WAEC here? my friend better go and read for your JAMB, this place is not for kids.

"whosoever rewardeth good with evil, evil shall never depart his house". Prov 17:13

the above verse goes to any igbo man that wants to support the evil this woman has done.

That screen shot was after she edited it. BTW, why are are u so curious to see the wiki page before the edition? Are you trying to postulate the fact that she actually edited every link that has that college on it?

In as much as stella odua is a complete shame to the presidncy and the country as a whole, I put much blame on the national assembly. We should ask what kind of people we have in the Nass that not a single one of them would have known that U.S colleges don't offer masters degree. That's why on a thread earlier on I was adovacating for brilliannt mind like fashola in the senate because I bet someone like fashola would have immediately noted that during her screening

Have you watched their sessions when they are interviewing ministerial nominees? They often ask the nominee to take a bow of personal recognition and go, or they ask some few, near irrelevant questions and ask the person to go. They are all same of the same.

jonathan n nass pls do d needful. inasmuch as i support u, i dont support any person that tries to bring down or discredit that small support.
