Nigeria International students association (ISA) members in Ghana have rejoiced greatly because of the good news.The Nigerian High commissioner to Ghana Ambassador Ademola Oluseyi Onafonoka recently visited Kumasi, while he was there he met with the Nigerian Students studying at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).

As a seasoned educated diplomat and father of Nigerians in Ghana, he decided to motivate them to perform their best in school with an incentive. He has reiterated that same promise, to prove that his commitment to education is unwavering.

In his office the high commissioner received a young student representative of ISA named Wisdom Obi for an interview. During one of the questions especially the one touching on the $1000.00, he emphasized that “any Nigerian student who graduates with a 1st class from KNUST will be given $1000.00″.

Nigeria give nothing even if you reach the moon.... well done Ghana!

You moved it to front page without a response?
Why do you ignore my posts then?
I thought front page is baed on traffic in a post.
1st to comment?

Lolz just $1k? E small o

Ok na!

Nice and good development.....MTN MTN MTN...How many times did I call you?You caused me my first position to comment...Well,still dancing Alingo inside my car.

Is the $1k for recharge card?

Haba! the money is too small for a first class graduate, why not offer a scholarship for the concerned/targeted graduate to pursue a Masters degree into any university of his/her choice.

ehm.. nice try though

ik dollars i small jor!

See as all these yahoo boys dey size d moni sha

Wow that's a lot of NOTHING ...

Very funny!
Ghanaians thank you sha. I guess the fact that $1K, must have rolled into tens of millions of cedi, got y'all thinking this is worth taking to the press.
#no hating though.

How many institution in Nigeria are practising this?

Abeg make u no kill their mission.

It is just to encourage them,

other institute can immitate them now and d competition will increase, out of which will make the country to grow higher and develop..

I wil report dis matter to my oga at the top

9ce 1 but what about dos in 9ja

Why una dey thank Ghana? Shioor!

The money was donated by OUR ambassador to Ghana: Ambassador Ademola Oluseyi Onafonoka
Where did you see it mentioned that they money was donated by one Osei Atumfor Quartey Nii Kwame Agyemang II

Make una dey read before una comment. Abeg. It is not yet illegal.

Nothing against Ghanaians, though. But I doubt if they will ever extend that kind of wind fall to our students when they have not finished taking care of their own. Besides, dem dey look for more creative ways to get rid of us from dia country and these students are only allowed to study because of the hard earned cash flow (and looted Nigerian treasury) entering the Ghana economy.

If una wan thank anybody, then thank our 'Oga@TheTop' a.k.a. Mr no shoes

Why not scholarship and why is it limited to nigerians in knust only?

Only?
I got 2.1 and they gave me 500k n scholarship worth $12,500

If Nigerians in UK getting first class yearly were to be getting £1,000, I assure you the ambassador will be paying close to £500k. Nigerians get first class for Shizzy. If state govts emulate this, I won't be surprised there will be a surge in first class grads.

just 1k dolls, its a shame oooooo, our government is nt encouraging our young youth who have really studied very hard to make nigeria proud in another country, buh on the other hand, our government is known to be dashing money plenty of money to musicians and footballers, wiv ferrarri and landed properties, its a shame. lets encourage our youth in education, research and science. education too is equally important to make our country great too

The students should beat the daylight out of this tool of an ambassador.

Na this same chicken change e dey use for one octagon mean per day in Dubai.

It is just to encourage more achievers to emerge!let's commend his efforts pls

1k, school fees how much they spend no be small oh
And you give 1k this is peanuts why not offer scholarship for masters.

cardoso111: It is just to encourage more achievers to emerge!let's commend his efforts pls

An Average student will do well to study hard and graduate with a good grade. Scholarships and other biggies, are what make students go the extra distance. So I don't get how encouraging this is exactly!

Well, students pass students sha.

Rocktation: Very funny!

First off, ur ambassador gave out tht money

Rocktation! The fact tht u look like a monkey doesn't mean u have to act like 1 u know......smh!

I'm schooling in Austria and I get really worried about my grades.
The grade level in Austria is high compared to naija
90 & above = 1
76-89 = 2
63-75 = 3
50-62 = 4
<50 = 5 (failed)

My first year here was really difficult (my grades were mostly 2's and about five 3's) as I was used to the Nigerian system of 70% and above as A
I'm in my 2nd year now and I'm getting used to the system. Last semester was mostly 1's. They don't use GP here but I don't even know how they will calculate it sef.
Please what is the grade level of the UK and US.
I doubt if having a first class here will be easy with this their crazy grade system.
I calculated my GP using the naija style and it is really low barely a 2.1

See Ghanaian calling me monkey oo!
#i forgive you.

I don't get it. What's to rejoice at in this instead of a simple congratulation? We're referring to some Ghana institute...not Harvard USA...or is this some sort of commercial pitched at Nigerians...

mayorjo4u: How many institution in Nigeria are practising this?

I think they tried. Small should be enough.
