Joy Omubo, who made headlines after being presented with a N250 gift by the Pediatrics Association of Nigeria, after 2 years of graduating from UNIPORT, has disclosed that she's grateful for the gift.


The 25-year old who disclosed this in an interview with Punch, said;

" About the cash prize, I’m grateful for the gesture. I do not feel entitled to anything and nobody actually owes me anything, so I don’t feel sad.

I would always be grateful for everything I got and anything it brings to me in the nearest future. I appreciate my lecturers especially the paediatricians because without the knowledge they imparted in me, I wouldn’t have achieved this.

I’m also grateful to UNIPORT for giving me the platform to achieve my dreams. The cash reward was inconsequential to me because following this award, I was already recognised at my induction ceremony and the smile on the faces of my family members and friends made the entire journey worthwhile.


The Chief Medical Director, University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Prof. Aaron Ojule, also offered myself and 24 of my colleagues immediate placement for internship.

The Association of Resident Doctors gave us a warm reception upon our resumption of internship as well as gifts to celebrate our achievements. So in all, I’m actually very grateful.”

I guess policy makers are trying to encourage students NOT to study anymore

What an absolute joke of a country

Logistics of Nigerian Education. In the final analysis, the young lady is right- nobody owes her anything. The acknowledgment and recognition are enough reward. The reward for academic aptitude is recognition. I don't support the monetization of education, there's no need to get hung up on the value of the prize money.

lol

This will encourage Olodos.

You better read hard and graduate with a very good grade.


Forget all this nonsense.
