How much did he pay for it? We all know that Ghanaian churches are corrupt. Any professionally use of it is fraudulent misrepresentation.

The stupidity of the Ghanaian Elite is just parading himself unproductive titles. Somebody successfully leads a group that contributes immensely to the GDP of a country and you just dubbing and recycling what that person has created wants recognition but him that originates the idea doesn't need it? Wow. This so called elites as I always challenge them " Give them 2 tins of milk and pay them 1000x the price of the milk as their salary to sell them, and watch them if the milk will not expire? " It is only Ghana that people fancy unproductive tittles. For some of us we feel ashamed to identify ourselves like that without having our contents justify that. It is only idiots that fancy unmerited title. Let your titles be manifested in the outcome of your works not just writing. Ghanaian Elites be ashamed of yourselves for envying people who have demonstrated their worth and are honoured.

Kwame King please stop your loose talk. A honorary title is not supposed to be used and that is the standard. You can make the argument that he has served the country and should be recognised. Fair enough. Mind you there are many more eg pastors, fetish priest, sportmen, etc who contribute nothing but have been honoured with the title. If he wants the title that bad, he should acquire it the right way. Besides, what influence is the title on his contribution to the economy? Let's not argue for arguing sake. Its in Ghana alone you would find everyone fighting over titles with little to show.

He didn't work for it so he should stop calling himself a Doctor. Getting a PhD is not a joke. If others were stopped, he should also stop. He is not better than the others.

Writing papers for three to five years means nothing. Let the man be.

That's the problem with you book-long people. You're ensconced in your little bubble and consider it an entitlement to impose your self-imposed academic Siberian sojourn on everyone else. In my opinion your certificate is not worth the paper it's printed on and its recognition should be restricted to the four corners of the institutions which "award" them. There's a far larger consideration called life outside of your pinhole existence.

Get out. You cannot use military titles if you are not trained and properly commissioned. Same applies here. It's a choice you do not have to belong if you abhor their actions

@Kofi. Nobody abhors anything. Common sense must teach us wisdom. What is the real use of these overrated academic certificates?? How have they in of themselves driven progress for Ghana?? Can we measure their true value upon acquisition beyond personal aggrandizement and private fulfillment?? Have PhD's generally made any real and lasting impact on our national developmental goals and metrics since independence?? Let us consider the matter much more intimately than it appears.

As honorary Dr, Mr Obeng should not address himself as a PhD, Dr as those who carry the title have earned it in academia. Some captains of industry and service have been honoured with the title Dr but they don’t use it in front of their names to draw a distinction from academics.

Do you know how his leadership has also affected our economy? You don't know the functions of GTEC so pls zip it. Mr Obeng should continue in his role as president of GUTA and stop fighting over titles. Until recently, i thought he was a PhD holder. I heard him speak as a panelist on UTv and i was disgusted. I kept wondering how he acquired his PhD. Then years later i realised its an honorary title. Aaaaah!!!

TO ALL HONORARY DOCTORATE DEGREE HOLDERS,

Why don't you study for the title if it's so atractive? Aren't you the same people who berate authentic PhD holders that you don't need formal education to make it in life?

So why are you so obsessed with such titles even to the extent that some of you would pay for it?

I agree with you to a certain degree @Yaa Pompor. However it is misplaced pruority to dedicate resources to chasing after a "mad man" who has snatched your towel!! We have more pressing matters to throw our intellects and ingenuity at and this nonsense is not one of them. What's the point of killing an ant with a sledgehammer?? As I said before I have nothing against Academics and academia; it's booming business. PhDs and their theses have their uses but they are not the foundational structures of great nations nor are great nation builders and paradigm shifters and disruptors made by vaunted and over-rated academic certificates and the men who award them.

GTEC should be serious. Try and submit foreign University graduate certificate for verification and it will take several months for feedback. However, the GTEC request form states a feedback within a Month. Instead of GTEC working hard to complete foreign certificate verification on time, rather spending time on unnecessary things.

GTEC has nothing to do, Dr Obeng did not wake up one day to call himself a Dr. Find solutions to your poor education. Nurses and MD'S struggle to pass exams when they come to America. You should train your students to pass well when they travel. You see many MD's and nurses doing any work because they can't pass America exams.
