Bob-Manuel Udokwu has been conferred with honorary doctorate in arts and culture from the Institut Supérieur de Communication et de Geston (ISCG University) in Benin Republic.
Bob Manuel’s colleague Ireti Doyle who also received a doctorate from the same institution took to Instagram on Monday to share photos from the ceremony, praising Bob on how far they have come since the time of Living In Bondage.
“Congratulations also to my senior colleague Dr. @bobmanueludokwuofficial. Incidentally, he mentioned that “Living In Bondage”, the movie that redefined and birthed the Nollywood we now have; was 30 years old to the day…We’ve come a mighty long way,” she captioned one the photo.
In another post, the 55-year-old wrote: “I have envisaged many things for myself… and having put, and still putting in the work, I have a healthy expectation of receiving “accolades”. But at no point did I see THIS coming… Mommy would have been mighty proud!!*Dr. Doyle has a nice ring to it!”
Fellow celebrities like Joke Silva, Beverly Naya, Monalisa Chinda and Lota Chukwu congratulated them in the comment section of the post.
Bob graduated from the University of Port Harcourt, Rivers State with a degree in theatre arts. He bagged a master’s degree in political science with a specialisation in international relations from the University of Lagos, Lagos State.
