No. of Paragraph 30

The truism, “two wrongs do not make a right”, appeared justified recently when an incident in an Abuja church culminated in a grievous comedy of errors. A lady, Ms Veronica Nnenna Anyim, ruffled the feathers in the social media when she claimed that she had obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Law from the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN). She made the testimony during a well-attended church service at the popular Dunamis International Gospel Centre in Abuja.

As it turned out, Anyim had only made a big mistake because the NOUN does not offer a “BSc in Law” but the universally recognised LLB. She herself recognised her mistake which she tried to correct in a Facebook post. Eventually, she reconciled with her pastor, and the NOUN was exonerated.

But the damage had already been done, not only to her image as a law graduate but also to both the Dunamis church and the NOUN. In the first place, Anyim, a police officer, had exposed herself as an undeserving claimant to a law degree, through her obvious poor grasp of the English language during her testimony and her forgetting the real nomenclature of the degree that she gotten.

The questions being asked in the media were: How could a university graduate, a “learned” one for that matter, be so poor in her presentation before the mammoth crowd? How could she forget that universities don’t offer BSc in Law but LLB? Even the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) president, Yakubu Maikyau, had to weigh in, dismissing Anyim’s initial claim of obtaining a BSc in Law.
