FAYEMI HONOURS OLAIYA, OAU'S BEST GRADUATING STUDENT AT CONVOCATION

Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi on Thursday praised Dr Aarinola Olaiya, Obafemi Awolowo University's Overall Best Graduating Student for demonstrating the core values of hard work and excellence for which Ekiti people are known.

The 24-year old Usin- Ekiti born graduate of Medicine had distinctions in 11 courses, breaking 28 years’ old record of the institution.

Governor Fayemi who attended the 43rd Convocation ceremony of Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Thursday specifically to honour Aarinola, said she had shown that Ekiti is not a state of stomach infrastructure but the country’s intellectual capital.

The Governor said Aarinola would be given all the support she desires in her quest for greater heights.

Dr Fayemi said: “I want to pledge before this august audience and the council, she hasn't told me what she wants to do but whatever she tells me, she can consider it done.

“If she wants to go into housemanship, residency or even a PhD in medicine, we will support her. It is very important to us that we restore the values for which we are known in Ekiti.

“We are not a state of stomach infrastructure. We are the centre of excellence in this country and when it comes to intellectual capital, we really should restore our very first place and that's what the government in Ekiti is about.”

“It is about promoting the knowledge economy and celebrating the very best of us who have a lot to teach the rest of us because I know medicine is not a tea party. For her to have impressed all of her lecturers and broke all of the records here which excellent people have set here, I hope the college will retain Aarinola. Having produced her, it is only fair to let Ife have her, Fayemi said.

Na why you no sabi the difference between I AM A LIVING TESTIMONY AND AM A LIVING TESTIMONY

Why are girls just graduating as overall best, so girls are more brilliant than boys

Who noticed that females are now best graduating student in almost all schools in Nigeria now a days. Boys are now into yahoo and sport betting while female rules

Stupid school with frustrated old hags as lecturers. I had a 2,1 from that shithole, so it isn't about hate!

Lol, it's obvious it's not really about hate Mr 2.1!

Congratulations to the young man lady.
All the best for the darling.

Our girls are more intelligent than girls obviously.

Na den dey rush us . We're aptly a similitude and epitome of rare intelligence. Before reading this piece, I guessed just right...that the Dr must be an ekitite. I'm proudly ekitite as well. Congrats out young Dr

That's not true, in the school I worked as a trainee teacher, there is this girl in my class, her daddy and mummy are both doctors but guess what? she is not intelligent, not even close, when I was scoring their exam scripts, she scored 6/60 in one of her exam scripts, not to talk of other papers, this girl has American accent, its no joke but not intelligent and she is a slow writer. This thing happened this year.

I believe the reason for that is 'cause doctors are always busy and they don't have time for their children, in my class, only few parents check their children's books and assignment, the overall best pupil in that class has an attentive mother that always check her home works and class works.

As an educationist who did child and development psychology as a course, I don't believe intelligence is hereditary, I believe it is acquired. I believe in catching them young when they are still in nursery and primary school, that gives them a good foundation cause that's where they start from. If I'm made Minister of Education tomorrow, I will make sure primary and nursery school teachers are well paid ,they are doing a great and hectic job.

lol

Not to sound as a sadist

Truth is that this non sense of straight As and Distinctions are not suppose to be records at all

Let our records be meaningful to mankind, let us learn to set records to help humanity

While we are setting and breaking 28 years old records of As and distinction, the whites are breaking records in innovation and discoveries, providing solution to better man kind.

I know that school OAU very well just like any other hyped non sense in Nigeria. Once you get admitted, all you hear about is one guy that set a record in 1975, 1980, 1985 et al WTF?

all on your mind is i must break that record even if it is via la cram la pour!

The whites get into school with motivations different from this, go and check on line even here on Nairaland, our so called first class guys are asking people o write motivation letter for their scholarship application for them.

Does it mean as an applicant you dont know what really motivates you to further to your studies overseas? After 4-7 years as an undergraduate ?

Well what do i know other than to fix a boat at abuloma jetty

We should have special day for walking Unclad just to remember ADAM AND EVIL
