Steve Martin Academy

According to the "About Us" page, "Triumphant University of Management Science and Technology is a private University established by the Mr. Makanjuola Sulaimon Adewale. It was granted an operational license by the Government of Republic du Benin on 9 June 2015..."

Found several people named Makanjuola Adewale. Business executives, one Minister (Religion, not Government). Some with wrong middle initial, some with none shown. No Sulaimon shown. I give up.

(1) Google led me to someone with that exact name (incl. Sulaimon) on federal Voters' List. No further info.
(2) Someone with that exact name also appears to have written a testimonial at UPIB -
"Université Polytechnique Internationale du Bénin." Can't get to the testimonial as the site is under construction. UPIB – Université Polytechnique International Du Benin – UPIB

No other references to this exact name on Google. I know nothing about UPIB. Strangely, there is a slight (French) spelling mistake in the heading. That's suspicious to me. Anybody know?

TUMST may have borrowed its welcome message from Charisma but much of what's on that website is copied from Bells University of Technology, Ota, a private university recognised by the National Universities Commission in Nigeria.

The school in Benin may or may not be recognised, I don't know, but apparently, it has an office in Lagos, possibly targeting Nigerian students. In a way, it makes sense because student life is probably a lot calmer in Benin (less campus cultism) and there is a fairly large Nigerian expatriate community in Cotonou.

 

I've been barking at this bunch of rabbit-holes like a damned little terrier. I feel ridiculous. There is nothing I can accomplish by continued pawing and sniffing - nothing that will help anyone in Africa - or here. So I'll stop. :sad:

The Steve Martin Academy proudly adds the following colleges: The Martin Short School of Management, and the Chevy Chase School of Liberal Arts. The Steve Martin Academy will relocate, effective immediately, to the small town of Santo Poco, Mexico. The new school president is El Guapo, Ph.D.

 

Hilarious, amigo! :laugh: Well, at least the new Pres. isn't El Chapo (Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera). :smile:

 

THIS is El Guapo (Rich Garces #34), but I never knew he has a Ph.D. :smirk:

 

Yes, Bruce - the handsome guy in your pic is definitely known as El Guapo. There are quite a few ...um, Los Guapos, I guess. The one with the PhD (Really? Well, if he says so...) that Koolcypher was referring to is here:

Wasn't there a song? "I'm El Guapo, he's El Guapo, she's La Guapa, we're Los Guapos! Would you like to be El Guapo too?"

... No, I guess that was Dr. Pepper. :sad:
