“It is interesting to know that while she was yet in the Medical School in 2009, she proceeded to University of Arkansas @ Fayetteville USA to Study the History and Foreign policies of the US Civil Right Movement.“
*Dr. Betta Edu, Suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation
PEGASUS REPORTERS, LAGOS | JANUARY 21, 2024
Prof Akin Omoz-Oarhe a retired Head of Engineering UNIBEN, who has 4 medical doctorates wrote this analysis on suspended nigeria minister of Humanitarian affairs Ms Betta Betta:
“A medical doctor, who read Medicine up to PhD Level”, Okay oooo. But let’s see this. When I saw her conduct in office including putting up an advertorial in defense of her paying public money into an SPV, I doubted her intellect and decided to check her Biodata afresh.
Check this:
1986: Born to Igbo father and X-Rivers’ mom
2001 Finished Sec. School @15 (Brilliant)
2009 Medical Doctor @ 23 (Brilliant)
Must have had internship …….1yr
Must have done NYS ….1yr
Had a Diploma in Public Health……….1yr
Has a have master’s in public health….1yr
Has PHD in Public Health………………3yrs
These add up to 7 years from 2009.
Note that these activities occurred across 3 Continents. Could she have been jumping seamlessly from one Lecture Hall into another with no loss at all to get her transcripts from one institution for admission into another.
It’s not impossible.
Wikipedia says she was married to Edu of Abi LGA of Cross Rivers. She did not take time off her studies to prepare for the wedding.
Wikipedia says she has 3 Children. Got pregnant 3 times and nursed the babies. All of that from the lecture halls? She try ooo
Wikipedia says she is divorced. The truma of going through this did not affect her academics? Real Superwoman
Yet by 2015, she was already appointed a Special Adviser to a State governor. Can you help juggle these dates to make these possible. But for now let’s her face her Consultancy Contract, Land Flight and Embezzlement problems first.
One puzzle is however solved. I did not know Calabar women to be so fast with their fingers. Now we know she is from Umunze in Anambra State. Not very far from Stella Oduas place. Maduekes place is close by too.
Julius Olaposi Oluwarotimi Ayoku-Owolawi, it’s irritating for you to say a check on the public officers Wikipedia can’t be classified as fact-checking. You read my piece in which I clearly listed my sources of information but it suites you to say they are assumptions? In your shoe, my first act would have been to Google for this information before this vituperation.
Equally docile is saying that no one talked about this before her current problem and even brought PBAT into her defence. PBAT was with us for 29 years before talks on investigations started and this lady, barely 3 months. Know it that investigations are borne out of necessities. If they say she has all these qualifications, etc, why would I doubt? But when her behaviour in office did not support the background given, you are forced to fact-check. I did just that
I have always told you that Patriotism is not about supporting whoever is government. It is related to saying it as you see it with facts. I send you here a relevant page of her Wikipedia as of 11th January 2024. You may advise her to modify it as Peter Obi did briefly after his qualification became questionable and he quickly deleted all 5 Post Graduate Universities he had claimed he had PG studies.
She was born to Amambra Father Mr Emmanuel Eke and Cross River Mother. She is a divorced mother of 3. Is it not funny you classify Age, Educational background, Marital Status and number of children as personal life of a public servant?
CHECK AT THIS BETTA EDU “LINKEDIN” ACCOUNT AS AT 14Th JANUARY 2024 BEFORE AS USUAL, THEY THINKER WITH IT

OBSERVATION
1. She was a medical student from 2004-2010. This is at variance to her Wikipedia which said that she graduated in 2009.
2. It is interesting to know that while she was yet in the Medical School in 2009, she proceeded to University of Arkansas @ Fayetteville USA to Study the History and Foreign policies of the US Civil Right Movement
3. After Graduation in 2010 she became a Medical Doctor in UCTH for one year 2011-2012. This sounds like the internship year.
4. After Internship she is supposed to proceed for her NYSC. Apparently, she skipped it. Yet without NYSC she was engaged as a Medical Officer in Cross Rivers Ministry of Health in 2012.
5. While there after one year, she proceeded to London School of Hygiene &Topical Medicine London for an MSc in Public Health in Developing Countries. That lasted till 2014.
6 There is no indication of a Diploma in Public Health mentioned in her Wikipedia.
7. There is no indication of a PhD mentioned in her Wikipedia.
8. It is public knowledge that she was appointed Special adviser in 2015
- Julius Olaposi Oluwarotimi Ayoku-Owolawi am waiting for you “Fact-checks” and “Due Diligence”!!
SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY NOT IN PLACE ABOUT THIS LADY

My take. Let all those involved with her be equally fished out for prosecution. She couldn’t have done all those wrongs all alone.
