    The article is more TYPICAL, over the sought and purchased holders. Interested candidates could contact KOKOMPEY, its much cheaper, for a local versions.

  • Boys Abre 9 years ago

    Lydia, I agree with you. Gifty should have gone step further to learn more about the institutions instead of just relying on the google search. This shows how shallow she is in terms of academics. Get back to school and work ...

    When we are struggling in the classroom defending thesis others are buying it with money. For me an honorary Doctrate is a fake one because such people have never written or defended thesis before

  • banewel 9 years ago

    even masters degree is not easy for you to receive a bowl of doctorate. shame to all honorary doctorates. Get admitted to a good university and write a thesis for phd. cheap things are expensive.

    In academia, you cannot claim you did not know the school or institution that awarded you a degree. Its shameful to come out with such hollow words. The craze for worthless titles.

    Does the award of a Doctorate Degree by an accredited , renowed University to a donkey change it? I think any degree MUST be acquired by its holder.
