Nigerian content creator and skit maker Carter Efe has reacted publicly after Babcock University distanced itself from a certificate he recently displayed online, adding another twist to a controversy that has continued to attract attention across social media.
The online personality addressed the issue during a livestream where he appeared to dismiss the university’s statement while making light-hearted remarks about the situation.
The controversy started after Carter Efe claimed during an earlier livestream that he had received an honorary certificate from the institution.
His comments quickly generated reactions online, with some social media users celebrating the announcement while others questioned the authenticity and nature of the recognition.
As conversations continued, Babcock University later released an official statement on Instagram rejecting the claim and distancing itself from the document circulated online.
According to the university, the certificate being referenced was not issued or authorised by the institution.
The school also clarified aspects of its academic system and stated that it does not award honorary certificates for undergraduate academic performance.
In addition, the institution noted that it does not operate with an academic classification described as “First Class Upper.”
The statement further indicated that legal steps could be considered regarding the circulation of what it described as false information connected to the university.
Following the university’s response, attention shifted back to Carter Efe, with many online users waiting to hear whether he would retract the claim or explain the circumstances surrounding the certificate.
Addressing the issue in another livestream, the skit maker appeared unbothered by the development and responded in his usual comedic style.
Rather than directly engaging with the university’s clarification, Carter Efe joked about reports that people were looking for him.
“I hear say una dey find me. Una no go see me until una pay N100,000 ticket for me. Una no go see me,” he said during the broadcast.
His comments immediately sparked fresh reactions online, with supporters and critics debating whether the entire episode was intended as entertainment, satire or something more serious.
During the livestream, Carter Efe also stated that he intends to visit Babcock University in the near future, although he did not provide additional details about the planned visit.
His remarks left many viewers uncertain whether he intended to clarify the situation in person or simply continue engaging with the topic humorously.
Known for his energetic online personality and unconventional content style, Carter Efe has built a large audience by blending comedy, music and viral moments.
Over time, many of his public appearances and livestream comments have generated discussions because of their unpredictable nature.
This latest episode adds to a growing list of moments where internet personalities and public institutions have found themselves at the centre of social media conversations.
The incident has also renewed conversations around misinformation, online influence and the importance of verifying public claims before they gain traction.
While some users viewed the situation as harmless entertainment, others argued that institutions and public figures alike should exercise caution when making statements that involve official recognition or credentials.
As reactions continue online, neither Carter Efe nor Babcock University has announced any further steps beyond their public statements.
For now, the controversy remains active across social media, with many waiting to see whether the content creator’s promised visit to the university eventually happens.
