Why not, statistics (Nigerian version ) show various figures including those used for economic analysis come from various branches of private and public sector and great many of these PHDs include those awarded from Universites short of funds to run the institution and to hire quality proffessors . They'll naturally gun for donation from un-educated former scam agents and criminals ( example are too many to mention like Dr.Orji Uzor Kalu) etc. Some years back when Abacha regime was challenged with impending scam history of Ajudua from German govt. That case became part of IMF issue to deny or interfere with Nigerian government borrowing ability from global money market as the German govt became deeply involved , ninety per cent of all Daily Times and Ibru's Newspaper, The Guardian, contained scholarships by Ajudua to Bendel students in almost every Universties and colleges in the country. You would expect these unfortunate PHDs to take teaching positions which is supposed to be begging for their service if all things had been equal in such circumstances. What is Nigerian govt reaction to this deficit in an economy that will need lot many of her educated youths in helping to shape future social and economic frontier . Ironically, those in various arms of government in the country have no real education to become change agents, but there's more PHD surfixing their names as Senators,Honourable memders even among city coucil former councilliors Isn't this the major reason why we're at a cross road in developing the economy, the nation and the population of 160 million citizens . Viewed from this standpoint, we're in deeper trouble as future leaders must historically come from the offsprings of these inept and corrupt regime to fight to re-run their parents claim to leadership and to protect the stolen wealth
