Coming from HAWUSA man not surprised

ADBOK:

You are an incorrigible fool! Insult or deride anyone all you like but you never ridicule anyone's family! Never!...

Oahray:
You do have a point, but you seem to be subtly arguing that it isn't worth the recognition. Maybe that's not what you meant but that's how it sounds.

I had to do a double take at "he is not the first and he won't be the last."

Pray tell... Who in your family, nuclear or extended, dead or alive, has ever gotten a 5.0 CGPA from a Federal University?

If there isn't, check your neighbour's family.

If there isn't, shut the hell up!

First, I wish to congratulate Mr Ayodele Dada for his academic milestone of which many have tried and many have fallen so he should keep his head held high even though he is not to first and certainly won't be the last.

I stumbled upon a writeup few days ago on
how the writer says that Mr Dada deserves a national honour/award and his reason was obvious; The 5.0gpa.
And I became so confused because I thought the honour was given to those who have rendered service(s) to the benefit of the nation and after a research, I concluded that the writer alongside many others are ignorant of what the National Honour truly stands for............
Nigerian National Honours are a set of orders and decorations conferred upon Nigerians and friends of Nigeria every year. They were
instituted by the National Honors Act No. 5 of 1964, during the First Nigerian Republic , to honour Nigerians who have rendered service to the benefit of the nation. The
Nigerian National Honours, in descending order of importance, are:
*Grand Commander of the Order of the Federal
Republic (GCFR)
*Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger
(GCON)
*Commander of the Order of the Federal
Republic (CFR)
*Commander of the Order of the Niger (CON)
*Officer of the Order of the Federal Republic
(OFR)
*Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON)
*Member of the Order of the FederalRepublic
(MFR)
*Member of the Order of the Niger(MON)

The GCFR and GCON are customarily
respectively bestowed on former occupants of the office of President of Nigeria and Vice President of Nigeria including former military heads of state of Nigeria and Chiefs of General Staff. The GCON is also customarily bestowed on the Chief Justice of Nigeria and the President of the Nigerian Senate during their first year in office, while the CON is customarily bestowed on Justices of the Supreme Court of Nigeria (Wikipedia)

Now, what does Mr Dada deserve?
Still the national honour or an applaud from the education lovers
His achievement is a benefit to himself and not the nation.
What did he do for his final year project?
Does it contribute to nation building?
Did he invent any mathematical theory?

There are many 2nd class, 3rd and many
that didn't even attempt jamb but are contributing towards building the nation through the creation of job opportunities.

He should go out and prove himself and not become a burden on the nation just because of a degree that is not recognised in developed countries.


He has tried and I commend him but after school, life begins......... I wish him success

never knew there was a section where one had to be from a muslim to comment and some imbecilic mod had the guts to put it on FP,

isnt this similar to the forceful conversion of kids that are abducted? WTF is wrong with this peeps.

My friend, Thomas Edison had over 1,000 patents i.e over 1,000 inventions officially recognised. His lab was not a university. He never attended university, let alone coming first or last there. Let me tell you something, if the internet were invented before classrooms, there would be no campuses today that you people call school or universities. Human beings aren't smart; they lack the ability to be constantly aware of the reason for an action but quickly follow the pattern as the rule. When the reasons change, we still follow the pattern, not knowing that pattern no longer applies. Education is not getting a certificate from a brick-and-mortar institution. Education is the acquisition of intellectual skills and knowledge. If you go to that campus and get the paper but don't have skills or knowledge (that's the case in Nigeria), you're worse of because even though still empty, you would now be constituting a nuisance to everyone that you are educated. If full and equal access to the facilities of education were available to everyone in Nigeria, then no problem - let's all go there. Not when there isn't and only the privileged ones get to go to schools properly and you then decree that everyone must be measured according to how well they did in the tests at school. Does that sound fair? Why not assess them based on the desired skill set you need for a job role? Abraham Lincoln died in 1865. Till today Americans consider him their greatest president. There were all these Harvards in his time, comparable to what we have in Nigeria today. He was from a poor home - he didn't go to any. He was a lawyer. How? He studied privately for the tests required to be passed to be a lawyer. Full stop. There was no internet then for easy access to all the information in the world. All his classroom education was a total of ONE YEAR! In his day people could have PhDs from Harvard too. Unlike in Nigeria, they didn't block his life because he didn't go to their list of "recognised places" to prove he was bright. He proved it in the real world against all comers. We don't get it in Nigeria, I keep saying. You will see: this 5.0 GPA guy will never achieve anything for this country. He can't. He would even likely go abroad for " further studies" (wetin una ape country dey study sef) and quietly get a nice job there and quietly enjoy the rest of his days on earth. Or he may become one of the people drafted by our moneybags to enter and continue the bastardisation of the country in the political culture they would teach him. What did he study? He cannot have any direct impact on the country. The political field he has no idea and would only follow the pattern they tell him is "the way". Lastly, I have NO IDEA what secondary school in Nigeria would advise their best students to go and study Psychology at university. Shikena!

majekdom2:
I don't understand your point. Thomas edison's time is totally different from now. There is what is called " evolution ". I would define it a reason for another reason tomorrow. A reason for a "future's reason". The Internet is an invention that have and would lead to so many inventions. Thomas edison's invention led to so many inventions. The schools are there for a reason. An avenue where people can build upon inventions, that's the essence. "Research and development " . It's part of the evolution if you must know. If you didn't go to school would you be able to type whatever you put upthere. Keep deceiving yourself. We need education more than anything in this part of the world. Your line of thought is void of any intelligence. There is no course of study that is not important to social development. Psychologist have their roles in the society. They help keep some people sane and in their right minds. You don't need to study engineering to be relevant or contribute your social quota. Education is not just about intellectual skills MR. Education is about relationships with people. Ok. Would you say the dude in question has not acquired any intellectual skills? You don't need to be on radio or Internet before you are known to have contributed your quota. That's where you are getting it wrong. You metioned edison and all because you read about them. You didn't mention soyinka and likes. There are people doing great in their niche. There are people doing well and contributing regardless the situation that you don't even know about. Change your thought. You said humans aren't smart..... I guess you mean Nigerians anyways. If you talking about humans, I am not sure you'd be using a phone or driving a car now if humans aren't smart.

You have a long way to go - on many levels. I'm certainly not going to be the one to help you along the way. You're a good fit here in Nigeria though
