only if you know what that laptop and car symbolizes respectively. The girl with car has been settled. The car will not generete income to her. But the intelligent girl with laptop will see this opportunity as a key to read, browse , write down ideas that will fetch her millions if she works harder

Just as you've said!They've given her the most important thing that will help her become an Information Marketer making money selling her ideas.

Make I hear word!
Stop encouraging yourself with false hope.
What you said only happens once in a thousand girls.
Who told you that the girl that won a car can't later sell it to purchase more than 10 laptops or buy cars for transport biz or convert the funds to biz?
The moral of the girl that won laptop will be affected.
How can you quantify the gap b w the two prizes.
Laptop that may not be more than N100,000 & a car of nothing less than N1million. Do the maths!
Last Bullet
So many unecessary gifts attached to beauty peagents & reality shows while winners of educational competitions are rewarded like beggars!
This is why Cowbell Mathematics Competition keeps rewarding winners with N100,000 while MTN Project Fame, Guilder Ultimate Search etc keeps giving out N7m & N10m.
Knowledge don suffer!

there is no gain in calling ''black cup'' a ''white cup'' let the truth be told and let's take the bull by the horns. It's quite unfortunate that these higher institutions in the country have deviated frm the primary purpose, there by chasing shadow even in the dark. A higher institution is a landscape of learning, studying and acquisition of knowledge, it's a platform provided fr able minded people who are ready to make researches and to, at the say time, give bk to the society and such activities should nd must be supported with several incentives and rewards in order to motivate students. But the reverse is the case in an institution whereby a mere ''the most beautiful girl'' was given a brand new tear rubber case that worths millions of naira and the ''intelligent one'' was given a ''brand new'' laptop. Tell me, how could this motivate student who are hard working in their academics pursuit. No matter what, there is no iota of positive effect in this as it will further discourage the gullible student. Secondly, what do mean by ''the car will nt generate income''? Lolz. Please let's face reality, you cnt compare the value of a car wt a common laptop. Tell me how you wll feel If u hear that your own son in his secondary school was given a mathematical set as the best student and another student was given a 'laptop'' as the most beautiful student? Let's be sincere.

Let's be realistic here on a normal day which of these shows will get ur attention on TV, a live debate or live Beauty pageant,...and besides most beauty pageants goes beyond showing up with a pretty face, u are asked tactical questions, asked to dance etc...so the beauty queen herself is brilliant in her own way...besides debate get levels,...SOME PEOPLE ARE PRETTY, SOME ARE INTELLIGENT BUT ONLY A FEW PEOPLE GOT BEAUTY WITH BRAINS...so make una free the fine girl jor

Sometimes you can’t blame ladies who are crazy about material stuffs, and that is because our society is not encouraging hard work. Study hard, you get handshake. Spend time to look sexy, you get big regards. Smh!

i must say this clearly. some see the above case as insane but comparing the two scene is the insane thing to do ... Beauty they say is in the eye of the beholder of which every beauty faces must have contested and if not all the student, non-staff and staff must have voted...


On the other side Education is the best Legacy!

why would anybody wanna compare them together.
they dabate crew might not have made it publicly known, even seeing the debatee, awardee and the location for the debate looks 1/50 of the whole institute; so please what do you expect.

but here on the other hand.
the beautiful girl is known, rally in and out of the institute, publicity here and there, captivating story here and there about the damsel... (dont forget everyone you see in the institute are there to learn; why would anybody just want to disproof other smartness via debating).




though am not in support of any of the above cases (sitting on the fence) but no one is to be blame and remember everyone has it own interest and what do waste it leisure on shocked grin embarassed lipsrsealed undecided kiss cry cheesy wink smiley sad

Have you noticed through time beautiful women get what you sweat for on a platter of gold? It's even in the Bible. Brains are given to us for a reason, to work hard and acquire beautiful things.

I repeat, RUBBISH. How much is a laptop? 90% of university students already own their laptops. I won't be surprised if you are in the 10% without one.

Do you know how useful it is to have a car of your own? That is one less stress to worry about. You need mobility to make money.

Let them ask the debater which she prefers and see if she will go for a laptop. An intelligent girl will also see the best use to make out of her car.
hahaha,this gyal is brutal lol,u just murdered this guy!
