Standard Group Now turns on the fake colleges it has been promoting

This seems to have gone a full cycle with the Standard Group now training its guns on fake educational institutions like DALC. Standard Group has been DALC's mouthpiece since Business DAily exposed DALC backnin FEb 2008. As you are aware, DALC still advertises on the front page of the standard like it did recently when Oborah launched his gifted and talented congame.

KTN has continued broadcasting the CLASS,  a DALC infomercial that is short on fact and long on falsehoods. In one of the shows, Oborah's 19 year old son poses  as a career expert who can deduce your 5 year old son's career 20 years into the future. KTN air that crappy show every Tuesday after news. Now Standard Group seems to have had enough...or are they just flapping gums? and has asked the government to "protect Students". And what do they do? They (Standard Group) have totally ignored emails and calls asking them to investigate DALC.

We take it that maybe something has changed in the way DALC and Standard Group used to relate but are certain that the authorities at Standard Group knew that DALC was a shady institution all along. Read the article below where they throw the blame on the government- despite their role in promoting KEnya's Biggest Education Scam. Hypocritical but the screws are not turning in DALC's favour anyway.

Here goes Standard Groups apparent awakening to the con they have been breeding for 2 years. (click on the text for the full article)

The marketing points of many of the dubious colleges is that they offer in collaboration with top international universities like Oxford, Cambridge and University of London and other reputable examination bodies.

Others claim to offer international diplomas from leading institutions without identifying the institutions. They promise to teach technical courses such as computer engineering, software development and programming to students with average grades of D.

While it takes two to threeyears to obtain diplomas from reputable institutions such colleges offer the same within three-six months, thereby appealing mostly to parents and guardians who are financially constrained.

So have they finally seen the light or is it just another falling out and Standard Group is now telling us what they have always known. I am not convinced one bit because not so long ago they published this story.

Oborah: Brains behind Dalc education 

Try and comment on the bogus nature of the man in that article. Standard Group's website will not allow any comments that are pointing to the fact that the man is a fake. In effect, they have given DALC genuineness that it would not have gotten anywhere else and must be blamed for all our wasted futures.

OBORAH: HE'S out for the money

We have seen for ourselves how the DALC sales ( conned students) have drastically gone down. In my view, it must be causing the naughty professor some trouble. But worry not, for Oborah is a schemer through and through. He is now tricking people into buying computers through DALC. We are now reliably informed that Oborah has a shipment of ex Uk laptops that are waiting to be dished out to DALC students like "njugu" and then the students have to pay for the computers over a period of 6 months.

We take great exception to Oborah's new scheme. Surely he is manipulating students into getting laptops on top of paying his inflated fees and dubious UK examination and graduation fees. Parents will now have to buy laptops through Oborah's new scheme. Sadly, he keeps things sketchy like he always does with everything. Take note that he has not talked of processor speeds, hardisk space or brands of the computers. He does not want you to start making comparisons with the current market rates.

In the online portal, the students get an option to choose the specification of their computer. The students can choose a laptop with or without a webcam. That is the most useless option an academic of Oborah's standing could offer. That has nothing to do with academics, nada. Infact, webcams are use for video chats. So DALC students will be paying for webcam enabled laptops!!!

I am sure that he has failed to fully disclose the other information regarding the laptops because it is yet another way for him to scam money off innocent Kenyans.

He ruthlessly manipulates DALC students by flaunting the laptops as tools of the next century education alleging that DALC is forward looking. So ditching desktops for laptops will improve the quality of education at DALC?? What hogwash. He is simply manipulating students. After all, wouldn't any college student give an arm to get a laptop that has a webcam.

Oborah is simply diverting attention from issues by throwing laptops and wireless internet to students so they can browse all day and chat on their webcam enabled notebooks. DALC Education in effect will not spend any money on equipment (DESKTOPS) whilst making a tidy profit by supplying its students with laptops. HOW CLEVER. Why don't you throw in external TV cards and 2.1 speakers into the mix. I am sure the students would find those useful too. Humphrey, how long are you going to use technology to cheat Kenyans?

Only fools would think that giving students webcam enabled laptops means quality education.

Kenyans are yet again parted from their money.

THE TIPSY DALC PROFESSOR

The years of lying seem to have caught up with our adored professor who seems beleaguered by the wave of departures hitting his camp and the drying up of the cash cow. This was instantly recognizable when he came for the meeting at Nakuru. He was already tipsy when he parked his car outside MERICA HOTEL on Friday. He looked haggard too. My presumption is that he has a canteen of vodka he carries around everywhere he goes to steady his nerves.

As surveys point out, the DALC fraud factory has been hard hit by the eye-openers made by bloggers and the lack of a concrete response by the Professor has further dented the confidence of the students. The outcome has been substantial departures by students, low enrollment rates and a cash flow crunch all over the campuses. His trip down to the rift valley was to stem this tide and to pacify the nerves of students who do not know what the future holds for them.

Well, it seems that the professor needed to calm down before the he calmed you down. After arriving tipsy for the meeting, he went straight to the bar at Merica and downed a few more cold beers. The DALC student who spotted him says, “I was deeply troubled when I saw the Head of Missions drinking just before our meeting. I just did not know what to think anymore”.

Perhaps the counterfeit professor probably needed to haze his vision before he lied and stoning himself on a few frothy ones seemed to be a quick way of doing that. This coming from a man who once blamed the moral decay in our society to lack of proper career testing is enormously ironic. In one of the THE CLASS episodes, Oborah argues that all of Africa problems including immorality could be solved Gift and Talent testing, which of course would be performed by him at DALC.

Ladies and Gentlemen, this man can tell your child’s career from as early as 5 years. He can tell that by examining at the electrochemical balance in the brain’s four quadrants of thinking. (Oborah’s words)

So, why does he need to come to students and parents meeting drunk?
