Dipo and Rufai have engaged in a heated exchange of words on social media, which has attracted a lot of reactions from Nigerians.
The conflict began when Rufai, a presenter on Arise TV, made remarks calling out individuals who claim to hold a PhD in their Twitter bios but fail to demonstrate the level of education associated with that qualification. According to Rufai, having a PhD is insignificant.
This statement by Rufai sparked strong reactions from Nigerians, with even controversial Twitter influencer Daniel adding his own opinion to the mix. Dipo, feeling personally targeted by Rufai’s comments, expressed his anger and called on Nigerians to speak out against Rufai’s comments

Nigerians reaction
Daniel Regha criticised Rufai for his harsh remarks towards those with PhDs. However, others supported Rufai’s stance.
Some Netizens argue that Dipo’s behaviour does not align with the behaviour expected from someone with a high level of education, and he should face his fight alone and not involve them in it. These individuals view Rufai as a journalist working to benefit the general public.
The ongoing disagreement between Dipo and Rufai has ignited a debate among Nigerians, with differing opinions regarding Rufai’s comments and the behaviour of individuals claiming to possess PhDs.
Reactions: Abeg, fight your fight alone
Netizens share their opinion on the current issue between them. Let’s see some of the comments:
@Harmless1234:Dipo, abeg leave educated people out of this matter. Please, carry your cross alone. No be we send you to find Rufai’s wahala.As he’s holding you on your blokos, you can drag his ear. No dey call backup. 🙄
@itzlaramiles:This feud between Dipo and Rufai Oseni of Arise TV is fascinating. While one lays claim to his PhD, the other, against all odds, goes about his profession by being a watchdog & checkmating the government.
My take: Anyone who stays quiet in the face of evil is an enëmy of Nigeria.
@UnclePaul:I am educated and Rufai did not abuse me, you are the one who feel abused because you actually don’t behave or talk or tweet or act like a Phd holder, you act like an informed tout. so alaye face your fight and leave educated people alone
@DanielRegha:Oseni Rufai is literally shading everyone who adds “PhD” in their Twitter bio, but people especially Obidients are cheering him like it’s a sensible act. Same Rufai didn’t leave his own bio looking basic, he sure made it catchy & uses it to market himself; Talk about hypocrisy.
