To Degreeinfo moderators and administrators: Do remember him? Timmy Ade is the guy who contacted Malawian embassy in Washington D.C to inquire about Columbia Commonwealth University's accreditation claim. CCU's Malawian connection was strongly discredited in this forum only after Timmy posted his findings. Evan Cavanaugh (a CCU alumnus) tried unsuccessfully to attack and discredit the info posted by Timmy but in the end everybody understood and concurred that CCU’s claim was a bogus one. Some people erroneously thought that Timmy was either Sheila Danzig or her shill but he is not. Timmy is a bona fide Yoruba man from Nigeria. He defended MIGS (just like some others here) probably because he once wanted to apply to one of the doctoral programs that MIGS advertised at that time. Needless to say that he has learned what MIGS was all about. If Timmy's account was deactivated because Degreeinfo moderators and administrators thought that Timmy is Sheila or Sheila's shill, I am confidently saying that they are wrong. Timmy is not Sheila. Sheila is woman. Sheila does not speak Yoruba. Timmy does and he is a man. Thanks. Ike Okonkwo, Ph.D. (Nova Southeastern University)
Hi Dr Ike: Interesting. Any relation to King Sunny Ade? I thought some of his posts were odd, but I never got the idea he was whozits from MIGS. (I wasn't around for the salad days of MIGS, anyway.) I did come to the conclusion that Columbia Commonwealth was really strange and rather deceptive--not to mention rude, crude, and just plain ignant in its private correspondence with me.
I don't think that he is related to the King. Ade is a common Yoruba surname. In full, Timmy's last name is Adedapo. He sent me a congratulatory message today because he couldn't post it here. I have corresponded with him several times in the past.
Nice spin attempt, Ike I simply made available documents that CCWU stated provided it with Malawi "accreditation". However, my sources tell me that the individual who had been working for the Malawian embassy purportedly as an education attache, and provided Timmy with his opinion on CCWU, no longer works there (not since summer 2002, slightly after the whole matter was raised). I haven't tried to qualify this info, but maybe you could look into it by calling the embassy in Washington. I haven't attacked anything or anybody, just done my usual activity of putting my actions where my mouth resides and backing up any claims I make with documents. Having said that, is Malawi accreditation worth anything in North America? I think not. Earon
