I know nothing about the quality of the school.
I recently applied to a number of colleges, including Charter Oak. Charter Oak accepted 46 credits out 95 from Sophia. The other colleges accepted between 81 to 87 credits. Perhaps COSC should be removed from the Big 3 and Liberty and UMGC added.
Liberty is okay...lots of degrees but will hurt you if you ever want to progress into certain realms such as academia.

How is any of this relevant if he is in Central Africa?
Planning and building a college list
It's a religious-based school with numerous issues involving scandals/controversy and its curriculum. The online PhDs with near 100% acceptance rates are not taken seriously if you ever want to get into academia or receive tenure. The pros are its cheap and they have a ton of programs but it comes with baggage unless you are looking to just check the box or are extremely religious. There a million threads discussing the school on other forums as well as reddit with numerous PhDs and hiring committee members that have given their opinions on it.
Again, I don't see the relevance of these things unless he plans on coming to the US to study in person. He is trying to study online correct?

He's not trying to study online, we are hoping to build a good profile for third party scholarships
