Dear Editor,
PLEASE pay close attention to what I’m about to say.
Remember this guy pictured below? He is Prof. Jacob Opadeyi. He was the PPP’s unpopular choice for Vice-chancellor at UG from 2013-2016. Remember the many days of protest at UG against him? Remember when he was to face the UG masses he conveniently fainted?
Remember this government did not renew his contract in 2016 after a no-confidence vote at UG and his poor performance. Now look at the document also pictured below?
You got it? Brilliant!!!

This very guy is now “supervising” Irfaan Ali “PhD”. The Professor is an engineer supervising someone who knows absolutely nothing about engineering. It is like an English teacher trying to supervise a Spanish class. Anyway, isn’t it suspicious that he is now writing a letter supporting Irfaan?

Now look closely at the letter? Got it?
No UWI letterhead. No UWI official stamp.
You get my point now?

This is not an official letter from UWI. This is a personal letter from one of Jagdeo’s friends.
Another fake representation, this time on Jagdeo’s Facebook page in a desperate attempt to protect his presidential candidate of choice. Come on Jagdeo and Irfaan. Provide authentic documents for a change. Defend the serious allegations against Irfaan Ali about his qualifications.

Finally Editor, let me share this with Mr. Jagdeo, since he never did postgraduate studies. I did. When I did my masters in medical education, during the final of my dissertation, I saw my supervisor a grand total of three times in one year. If I had withdrawn from my studies, she would be totally unaware since she was supervising a few other masters students. If someone were to write to her about my registration at the University, she would have likely directed them to the admissions or registration department of the University. You got my point Editor? It was not Prof. Jacob Opadeyi place or responsibility to confirm or refute Irfaan Ali’s registration at UWI. Frankly, he would not have such information. Frankly, that was for someone below his academic standing, unless of course he was rewarded with a few bottles of cassareep.
