NDC is doing their level best to help Ghana, but it is unfortunate that their tactics are not working. What makes it wrong for them to step down for another party to try their luck? Ghana is sick. We need absolute cure.

Why should point four be left out when that is the point of argument? I am truly enjoying this. These professors have put the whole Ghana to school now. I have a whole lot reading their work. Thanks for a good job.

Allotey Jacobs must be investigated. His comments has opened a can of worms. mills sickness was public knowledge even though Ghanaians didn't know the exact sickness. To say only 4 people know about his sickness is difficult to accept. That his doctors both home and abroad are not part of the 4, his only child and son, his only wife, the pastors he consulted around the world. Allotey Jacobs is a suspect and must be investigated.

ALABI YOU HAVE SET UP YOUR OWN DESTRUCTION BY DEFENDING THIS SMC DEGREE FRAUD.I PERSONALLY CHECK SMC ACCLAIMED ACCREDITATION FROM EVEN ACSBP AND IT IS NOT. A COUSIN OF MINE IN THE USA TOOK IT UP, WENT TO CHECK VIS AVIS FROM THEIR OFFICE AND IT WAS THERE THAT A STAFF OF ACSBP ACCREDITATION CLAIMMED THAT THE SMC DOCTORATE IS NEVER ON THEIR LIST AS ACCREDITATED. HE STRESSED THAT THEY ARE GOING TO FISH OUT THIS FAKE SCHOOL AND GO AFTER THEM IN THE COURT. SO ALABI HAS DONE FAR FR MORE HARM THAN GOOD. IF HE WERE TO BE INTELLIGENT, HE WILL NOT HAVE TAKEN THE APPROACH THAT HE TOOK WHEN THE REEARCH EXPOSES THE SMC SCAM BUT RIGHT NOW HE DEEPLY DIVED INTO IT SO DEEP AND IT IS GOING TO CAUSE HIM SO MANY MANY MANY MANY EMBARRASSMENT. THESE RESEARCHERS ARE MORE THAN PREPARED FOR HIM AND GHANA EDUCATION AS WHOLE.ALABI IS NOW DESTROYING THE IMAGE OF UPSA FOR NOT DISASSOCIATING FROM TH FAKE SMC.HE IS GOING TO GO DOWN WITH SMC AS THE TEAM IS MORE THAN PREPARED TO THROW MORE LIGHT ON HIS DEALINGS AS UPSA IS CONCERNED AND IT IS GOING TO BE DISGRACE UPON DISGRACE TO THE ENTIRE UPSA COMMUNITY. IF I WERE TO BE HIM I WILL HAVE THROW INT HE TOWEL AND APOLOGISE FOR TAKING WRONG SMC DECISION AND PLEAD WITH MINISTRY OF EDUCATION TO HELP CORRECT THE MISTAKES, BUT THE HE WAS BRAGGING WITH ACSBP ACCTREDITING SMC WHICH IS FALSE.MY WORD TO ALABI IS THAT HE IS ALLOWING FAKE SMC TO DESTROY UPSA BECAUSE OF HIS WIFE INVOLVEMENT INT THE FRAUD.LET UPSA STUDENT STAND UP BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE FOR THEIR REPUTATION BECAUSE MORE AND MORE FIRE IS ON THE WAY COMING FOR UPSA SO LONG AS THEY STAND WITH FAKE SMC.

I dont understand why tax-payers money should be used to employ a pro-vice chancelor with fake SMC degree? All the rest of the vice chancellors in the public universities must be terribly stupid to allow this to happen.what are other VCs saying about this disease??

Now upsa has gone over board by recruiting fake SMC scholar and all of you are quite for ghana university education standard to be destroyed??????

I have read the entire report (original piece) and followed the ensuing discourse. A/Prof. Tsikata and Dr Doste need to be commended for their work. I think UPSA made a needless and poor attempt to defend SMC. That should not have been their business. It is for the NAB to do so. In any case, by revoking the registration, the NAB has effectively admitted that it erred in registering SMC earlier. It settles the matter on accreditation. What is next is left now is how to mitigate the harm already caused. As a professor herself, I expect the Minister the for Education to take this matter seriously.
Sadly, the narrowing of focus on UPSA/SMC appear to serve some of the politicians well, especially those who received the honoury doctorates from non-existent institutions.
Nonetheless, the ensuing debate is interesting for aspiring academics.

So VSU is an old institution formed long before the Northern territories became a protectorate of the British in the Gold Coast, before Trans Volta Togoland was taken over by the British and before Ashantee was annexed to the Gold Coast.

It is far older than our oldest university and better than anything we have in Ghana since, according to SAS, even a prison university in the US is better than our best in Ghana.

But Valdosta is not the kind of university you hear of in Ghana or even in Europe. What do you expect from a university for predominantly blacks?

So Tsikata is not working in an exactly prestigious university. And, as is typical of USA, one year after the defence of your PhD you become "Assistant Professor". That's not so in Europe.

Anyway, much as I support the work of the authors in trying to expose the bad nuts in our educational establishment, I hope it doesn't really become an obsession borne out of the fact that they have newly completed their PhDs in the USA. After all a PhD on something called "Communication" isn't really all that... Besides, anybody can, in principle, get a PhD who works for it. And all PhDs are not the same. In the end, what really really really matters is how brilliant or naturally gifted one is...

... but a PhD is only necessary to get a job. Which is why no one should get a job with a fake one.

The question has never been about where the authors received their Ph.D. or what they are engaged in. The question is about fake qualifications and accreditation. Can Willie answer those questions. Alabi and the wife who run UPS like their personal properties have been exposed big time. The IGP and the NDC chairman are just fools who know next to nothing.

I really don't know what Willie was driving at. Trying to denigrate the authors? Does that take anything from their Report?

For my life, do we care if they are just even Masters students and not even yet PhD candidates? The fact is that they have come out with a superlative investigative report which the whole academic set up in Ghana, all the Ghanaian PhD holders, home and abroad, didn't come out with!

In fact, they could even have dropped out of university like Bill Gates but they have accomplished what Napoleon couldn't do! So, Willie bogger off! These two are gems to treasure, not smear.

By their Report, public attention has been drawn to a most rotten decay of morality in the so-called Ghanaian elite. We should all join in pressurising the Minister of Education to take swift action to redress the canker. Nothing short of that can be accepted. Yes, and certainly not even detractors like Willie and "Dr" SAS can deter us from doing that.

I really doubt that you are a Professor bcus there are so many anormalies in the methodologies of your research findings. Stop disgracing your self and go to court to prove you are right.

These two courageous sons have done a great damaged to the SMC and the UPSA. UPSA and the SMC will pay a huge price for this terrible publicity for a long time to come. The public was expecting those who threatened legal action for defamation to have done so by now. We are in the second week now and they have gone quite. As the writers continue to say, this is not an issue that will soon pass naturally. Why would Ike the SMC be asking the diligent professors who have woken the WHOLE GHANA UP to begin to question the fraudsters and their toilet papers they call Dr.Dr. Prof. Goski Alabi. I read the report three times and it is has the soundest methodological underpinnings. I am sure my respected professors will respond to you soon if you can put up a rejoinder to them.

Poorly developed methodology from schorlarly and ethical perspective, Dan. And any serious scholar will laugh at the methodology and "logic of justification".

Long life will definitely let us see the end of this Dan.

There is something in communication law called defamation. UPSA and SMC have suffered a colossal damage to their images for operating under fictitiuos arrangements. The courageous ones have exposed them big time. I hear current students with SMC are demanding their fees. We only wait to see what would happen to UPSA next year with their admissions. certificates from these universities have become worthless, not worth to even clean my ass. Employers will begin to thrown those certificates out of the window. Whether the researchers even work in an ant whole, they have remove the veil over you and your Alabi who does not even have a Ph.D. Dont go and drink DDT ooohhh. Go and register for a proper PHD.

Temple University in the US has the same accreditation as SMC. Why the politics and hate on Dr Alabi by these two individuals? Time will tell
