‘You’ll Pay ₦100,000 Before You See Me’ – Carter Efe Responds to Babcock Certificate Controversy

Nigerian skit maker and content creator Carter Efe has reacted to the controversy surrounding an academic certificate he claimed was issued by Babcock University.

Speaking during a livestream with other content creators while selling akara on the street, Carter Efe addressed reports that the university was looking into the matter.

In a light-hearted response, he said anyone from Babcock trying to see him would have to pay an expensive “ticket” before gaining access.

He 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.”

The controversy began after Carter Efe shared a document online which he claimed was his degree certificate from Babcock University, stating that he studied Biochemistry and graduated with top honours.

The document later drew criticism from social media users, who questioned some of its details, including the grading classification.

Babcock University subsequently issued a statement distancing itself from the document, saying it does not recognise the classification stated on the certificate and warning the public against accepting forged certificates linked to the institution. The university also indicated that it was pursuing legal action over the matter.
