VIDEO: Babcock, you’ll pay N100,000 before you see me — Carter Efe

Nigerian streamer and comedian Oderhohwo Joseph Efe, popularly known as Carter Efe, has reacted to the controversy surrounding his purported Babcock University certificate, joking that the institution would have to pay to see him.

The skit maker made the remarks on Monday night during a livestream in which he joined fellow content creators Kolu and Destiny to sell akara on the streets.

Briefly addressing the controversy during the broadcast, Carter Efe said, “Babcock, I hear say Babcock una dey look for me. Una no go see me. Before una go see me, una go pay N100,000 for ticket, and we are coming to Babcock soon.”

His comments come days after he sparked widespread debate online by sharing what he claimed was his Babcock University Biochemistry degree certificate bearing the classification “First Class Upper.”

He posted the document in response to social media users who had questioned his educational background.

In the post, Carter Efe claimed he studied Biochemistry Computer Club at Babcock University, graduated with First Class Upper, while displaying what he described as proof of his academic qualifications.

The post, however, triggered widespread scrutiny on social media, with many users questioning the authenticity of the certificate after pointing out that the phrase “First Class Upper” is not a recognised degree classification.

Reacting to the controversy, Babcock University issued a public notice on Monday warning against the circulation of fraudulent academic certificates falsely attributed to the institution.

The university stated that it does not recognise any academic classification known as “First Class Upper,” stressing that its recognised classification is First Class Honours. It also said it does not issue honorary certificates for undergraduate academic performance.

According to the university, one of the forged documents in circulation was a purported honorary certificate allegedly issued by the “Babcock University Biochemistry Computer Club” to Oderhohwo Joseph Efe for attaining a “First Class Upper.”

“Babcock University unequivocally states that this document is false, unauthorised, and does not emanate from the University,” the institution said.

The university warned members of the public, employers, educational institutions and other organisations to disregard such documents and cautioned that anyone found producing, circulating or using forged academic credentials could face investigation and prosecution under applicable laws.

Despite the university’s statement, Carter Efe appeared unfazed during his livestream, making light of the controversy while continuing the broadcast with his fellow content creators.
