This orphanage in my area is always being disturbed by Agberos.
Whenever good samaritans bring foodstuffs and provision for them, these boys will camp outside the gate to demand for their share, sometimes it turns into huge fight.
They’ve even threatened to kidnap the kids on one occasion if they don’t give them their “settlement”.
This evening they hijacked a carton of noodles that was brought for the kids.
Bunch of lowlives who are supposed to go out and work.
Hmmm...
Respectfully, this is not accurate.
You are not a graduate of Oxford University and you are not an alumnus of Oxford University.
1 - It was not a graduation. You completed a 5-day Executive Education programme. Certificates of completion for these programmes do not confer a degree.
2 - Full Oxford University alumni status requires matriculation on a degree programme, not a short course.
Being a member of the Oxford Saïd Alumni Network is not the same as being an Oxford alumnus. Executive Education participants are not eligible for University of Oxford alumni or associate status.
4 - The phrases “Graduated Oxford University Saïd Business School” and “inducted into Oxford University Business School Alumni” presents a short executive course as equivalent to earning an Oxford degree. That is misleading.
A clearer way to share the achievement would be:
“Just completed the Oxford Programme on Valuation of Private Assets at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. Five intensive days focused on private markets valuation. Excited to put the knowledge into practice and join the Oxford Saïd Alumni Network.”
Let’s not misinform people, especially those who may be impressionable.

Me: oh look, there’s Stanley Tucci over there!
Lauren: that’s just a bald guy with glasses!
It was Stanley Tucci. Thank you East Street Eye Clinic.
