A post circulating on Facebook<\/a> by Born2Blog claims that Nigerian content creator Brain Jotter has completed a degree in medicine and is now officially a doctor. The post is accompanied by images showing him in a celebratory \u201csign-out\u201d setting alongside another image of him dressed in a medical outfit, suggesting he has joined the medical profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The claim has attracted congratulatory messages from users who appear to believe that the comedian has transitioned into a medical career. Given Brain Jotter\u2019s popularity across social media platforms, such claims can easily gain traction, especially when supported with images that appear convincing. The same post was made here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the post does not provide any verifiable details about the institution, medical training, or licensing body involved, raising concerns about its authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verification<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

DUBAWA\u2019s Checks show that Brain Jotter (real name Chukwuebuka Emmanuel Amuzie) studied Business Administration at the University of Lagos, not Medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In August 2024, he celebrated his university sign-out on Instagram<\/a>, which went viral after he humorously called on Tony Elumelu, Chairman of United Bank for Africa (UBA), for a job opportunity. This interaction was widely reported and consistently referenced his academic background in Banking and Finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A review of credible media coverage also aligned with his academic background in Business Administration\/Banking and Finance, referencing his completion at UNILAG and subsequent request for job help to Tong Elumelu.

None of these reports indicated that he studied medicine or qualified as a doctor. The image portraying him in medical attire appears to be misleading and does not reflect his academic qualifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
