good pm fellow nairalanders. hope you all had a blissful day today.
i come here today with a technical question that require a very critical and technical reasoning,and i know there are so many geniuses in here that can provide me with the encouraging and helpful answer.

henceforth,I've been battling with a dilema on which a family friend is going through;
firstly,this set of family are very poor to the extent that they are unable to have a square meal/day due to their financial challenges which is beyond their control.they are 5 in number,a mother and a father,two sons as the eldest,and the youngest which is still attending secondary school.
Now,the dilema is,the two sons of this wonderful parent are curious and anxious to further their education because they are already an SSCE holder.-one is very industrious and hardworking,he always assist his parent in their business due to because he doesn't want to encounter any financial challenges whenever he gain admission into higher institution,he is always working hard with his parent to survive but he has only one limitation;he is very very dull interms of academic perfomance,he always find it difficult to read but not difficult to work.
the other son on the other hand is so lazy that he doesn't even knows how to wash their dirty plate not to talk of going to work with his parent,he sleeps alot,eats alot,but only has one advantage which is;he is so bright academically,he is intelligent academically,he perform best in school among his mate/peer but find it difficult to assist his parent for sponsorship raising.

Now,the dilema here is,they both are curious and wants to further their education,they find other activities"A NO GO AREA"as compare to their sacrifice of their education.and their parent only had the capability of sponsoring only one out of the two.
Dear nairalanders if this kids were to be your son which would you make your priority by sponsoring him?
