“Most of the institutions that use religious beliefs to bestow themselves as professors and doctors, you will find them all over churches. I refused because I am not too ambitious for those recognitions, and secondly I realised at the time I had not worked enough to get that recognition. I believe the value of work should be justified by what one has contributed to society.”
