Have you heard of Nexford University

Why is there such an odd amount of new accounts seemingly spamming the forum in the past couple days digging up these random threads? Keeping our mods on their toes.

That's a good question. I'm guessing maybe someone released a new Spambot 5000 or something. Usually, the spammers just start new threads of their own!

They definitely seem hyper focused on serving nations with a great deal of poverty. This seems to be where they're really focusing their programs and not in the US. If they have international students in Nigeria and other areas of subsaharan Africa then NA or RA probably doesn't matter and they'll overjoyed with a degree from an American university thus the label as an "American licensed university."

They'd get a few that way, but I can assure you that many Nigerians are more savvy consumers of international higher education than that.

So they did something smart in Nigeria, they partnered with some banks who first of all send their staff for courses at Nexford at a reduced price. Also, they have scholarships and loans through the banks too for other consumers who want to pay a reduced fee and seamlessly as we had some restrictions for international payment (that is getting relaxed now). They also have an ex Federal Minister on their board. Graduated of the undergraduate degrees can get exclusion certificates from the National Youth Service Commission (NYSC), typically every graduate serves for 1 year but if you are above 30 you get an exemption certificate but if you did a part time program (which they would group the Nexford degree under), you get an exclusion letter.
Most employers would ask you for the NYSC document before employment and also local institutions for further studies. So they are doing a good job in legitimizing their degrees in Nigeria.
