Nigerian singer Kiss Daniel is currently enmeshed in an age falsification controversy.
The 21-year-old drew attention to his age in an interview where he claimed he graduated with a 4.32GPA in ‘Water Engineering’ from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, in 2013.
This means that he left school when he was 18, and in-turn translates to securing admission at the age of 13 or 14.
But as at 2014, the minimum age set by the examination body for students eligible to write JAMB was 16.
Twitter user @Zubairthedream who shared the newspaper clipping, asked : “How old are you, really? @iamkissdaniel,” before itemising these interesting facts:
“1. Engineering is a 5 year course.
2. Graduated in 2013
3. 21 last week.”
So, the million dollar question making the rounds on social media currently is : Did Kiss Daniel lie about his age? And did he actually attend the said university?
What are your thoughts?
