The Conscience Exposes David Hundeyin's Misogynist and Sexist Behavior in Fraudulent Claims of Academic Affiliation with Oxford University
David Hundeyin, a Nigerian blogger, has been exposed by The Conscience, for falsely claiming an academic affiliation with the Oxford University. The Oxford University newspaper, Cherwell, published an article detailing how Hundeyin misled his followers on social media by boasting of his Oxford and Cambridge affiliations to give the impression that he was a distinguished scholar with a contribution to the institution.
According to Cherwell's investigations, David Hundeyin claimed
to be a "2023 Distinguished James Currey Fellow" with the Centre for
African Studies at the University. However, The Conscience found that the James
Currey Society, which awarded David Hundeyin this title, is not funded or endorsed
by the University or its Centre for African Studies.
The James Currey Society's website reveals no indication of any
affiliation with the University. It appears that the addition of James Currey's
name was solely to strengthen the Fellowship's credibility.
Cherwell's investigations revealed that the James Currey Society
is a UK non-profit organization founded by David Hundeyin's associate, Onyeka
Nwelue, whose status as an Academic Visitor was terminated by both Oxford and
Cambridge for his unauthorized commercial use of their emblems.
David Hundeyin's attempts to defend his Oxford affiliation were
unsuccessful. He tweeted that his "Director at the Cambridge University
Centre of African Studies who is aware of El-Rufai's problem with me and the
ensuing shenanigans has stated that there is something 'deeply suspect' going
on at Oxford," but he did not provide the name of this director.
Cherwell's investigation raises concerns about the credibility
of populist figures who make claims of affiliation with prestigious
universities to boost their public image. David Hundeyin's fraudulent claims of
academic affiliation with the University and his association with a known
fraudster, Onyeka Nwelue, have exposed him as a criminal, a fraudster, and a
scam artist with no institutional affiliation to the University or any other
institution of higher learning.
