Op, do you think it is easy to be fine? Some try and try and they can never get there, so abeg free girls jare! Let their fineness be rewarded!
do you think it is easy to be fine? see question... so what about the make ups girls use to paint their face and do other fake stuff to look good?

Beauty will fade off but what you have in your brain or inside you will remain.

why should girls beauty/look/body be judged?

It is people like you that think the key to everything is the body.

why are our brains not working properly. I was only encouraging the intelligent girl to make out something from what she has been offered to. I never said a car was bad to own. Moreover, the girls werent asked to make a choice. All am saying is, that much is expected of the intelligent girl from the little she has been offered

Acidosis:
The ROI (Return on Investment) of a beautiful girl to a company is higher than that of a 'brilliant' one. Who says beautiful girls aren't intelligent?

I believe the contest is company sponsored; hence, the company has little to gain from a first class student. As a matter of fact, most of these companies (telecoms, etc) have lots of pending first class and sharp 2-1 resumes.

I really do not blame them; is Ekiti not the Nigerian state with the highest number of PhD holders? What's the impact of PhD degrees on the state?

Companies pay advitisers, models, etc more than hard working staff. It's all about RETURN ON INVESTMENT, not the number of linear equations you can solve on paper.

...and if I'm asked, I will say a 200 Unilag student is intelligent. How do I know?
She passed her O'level papers, utme, and 100 courses.

I have a 7year old nephew who received 1m for simply participating in a 35 seconds TV advert for a fruit juice company. Meanwhile, the same company barely pay entry level degree holders N70k monthly. Its all about the ROI. This same advert, I believe must have yielded more returns for the company, (than what the dude rolling in an office chair can give).

There is absolutely nothing NEW a first class student can give a company whose workforce already consists of 70% first class and 2-1 holders; all they need might just be a funny advert created by "I go die" & voilla!! More millions will roll in!

Someone is also condemning ProjectFame. Let me ask; do you guys know the gain MTN made from Geoffery, Ruky, Emeka, etc? The truth is 5m, 2m, 1m & cars are mere peanuts when compared with the profit the company made from the contest.

Without these "s. illy" contests, most companies wouldn't be able to pay the "intelligent" workers.

We really need to stop criticizing everything!
Nonsense..

Just because you have a nephew that once benefitted from something similar..

Sentiments..

Is the Nigerian environment itself enabling?

Does it encourage intellectualism and innovativeness?

Some of these people you're accusing of contributing nothing to the nation's progress travel abroad to where they're appreciated and become phenomenal there..

Is it even all PhD holders that are gainfully employed?..Some that even have job among them are underemployed thereby finding it hard to maximize their intellectual capabilities.
