A Happy and Prosperous New Year 2012 to all of you!

I think you are right, Ham. It was a learning process I had to go through - first, I felt attacked and very much hurt, and I thought it was necessary to defend the work I am doing in discussing with them. Later, I found that this is/was in vain. Finally, I looked at some of them personally by researching their background as far as this was possible for me. In the end, I found that there is no need to care about these people.

At times, I felt tempted to leave this ministry alone and only to look after myself and my own career. The people I have been working with, however, have strongly encouraged me to continue and even came to my defense on on degreediscusssion.com.

If you are interested in the school, here is a link:

That site had not really been updated for years, but the information on academics posted there still applies and has now been approved by the competent Kenyan authorities as part of our accreditation process for the interim university charter.

Have a nice day, and thanks again for the encouragement!

I am far from intending to blow my own trumpet here, but as of one of the former targets and later victims of the stalking gang on the "other board" with figures like the deceased uncle, pretenders like Bill Grover, Levicoff and their likes, it must be quite a change in "career" for an accused "degree millist", "pompous pope", "evil person" and fake degree holder that they claimed I am.

I don't know your school and i cannot comment on it.
However, the last people you should care about are:
1 gay teen pornographers and enema quacks
2 serial degree millists
3 dolts crippled in their body and mind who took twelve years to pass a ZA doctorate
4 narcissists and histrions
Your school may be as good or as bad as it may get, but they are in no position to scold anyone.

Thank you for your kind words.

As for "building" - I was able to attend the graduation ceremony of our Kenyan students on 13 August 2010 (the year before last year) in Nairobi. At the end of the graduation ceremony, the Kenyan faculty of our school honored me my appointing me a tribal elder (in Swahili a "mzee") and making me a part of an African family clan. They provided me with an elder's stick and a piece of cloth they normally wear and gave me an elder's name: "mjenga" - that means "a builder" [of a school, in that case].

This was an overwhelming experience for me personally, and I felt deeply touched for this sign of love, respect and deep gratitude shown.

Here are some pictures from my visit to Kenya, and our church and school life there:

And there will be more good and great things and blessings to come, for sure!

Happy New Year

Africa needs more people like yourself that build rather than tear apart.

The people you quote are people with no accomplishment who measure their self worth by causing maximum grief to others.
