I got PhD on merit, not with cash –Eucharia Anunobi - Punch Newspapers

When veteran actress and evangelist, Eucharia Anunobi, recently announced that she had bagged a PhD, some people opined that it was given to her as a favour. However, she maintained that she got in on merit, adding that her celebrity status had nothing to do with it., Anunobi said, “Firstly, I believe in knowledge and as a pastor, one needs to be knowledgeable. One cannot efficiently work for God if one is bereft of knowledge.

“My doctorate degree is not an honourary one. I paid school fees and I have the certificate to show for it. Mine was not dashed to me at all, neither was it ‘cash and carry’. I have a Bachelor’s degree in English language from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka. I also have a Master’s degree in Social Work from the Lagos State University.

Anunobi also maintained that her celebrity status actually made her academic pursuit more strenuous. She added, “My celebrity status made things even more stressful for me in my academic pursuit because my work was criticised more. Even when I was studying for my Master’s degree, I had to be frequent in school. I wrote my exams myself and submitted my assignments. My celebrity status did not help in any way, rather it made things more difficult. However, I love the challenge.

Nor otherwise?

Meaning some people get their own with cash?
