Shame! Boy gets 11 Exercise Books Plus N5000 fromGovernor For Being Best Student

11 NOTE BOOKS + N5000 PRIZE MONEY
Why do we keep ridiculing Education in Nigeria? My happiness turned to anger today after these photos were sent me by a proud father and friend.I congratulated him as he told me that his son(in a RED BOW TIE pictured near the immediate past Governor of Ogun State; Ibikunle Amosun ) emerged the overall Best in an Essay Competition organised by Ogun State Government on May 27, 2019(Children’s Day).

When he told me what the prize was, I immediately developed goose pimples and stomach upset at same time. Can you imagine that the ultimate prize for the 1st position and Best student was 11 note books(60 Leaves) and a meagre sum of N5000(FIVE THOUSAND NAIRA ONLY)?

Why has government become shameless with no conscience? Imagine an exercise organised by an Executive Governor of a State who even posed to take photos with the winner?. Couldn’t he have done better? Was there manipulations and cornering of the real prize money by organizers? Why do we keep partaking in this dance of shame in the Educational sector where students that excel academically are never appreciated while some no-do-wells in some beauty or Entertainment contests win large sum of money?

I’m not only disappointed but angry with the organizers of that event and the Governor that shamelessly handed such Award and posed for a photograph. He should have ignored the cash prize and given the little boy an EXECUTIVE HANDSHAKE from the Governor as I received from the Chairman of my Convocation event after graduating with multiple Awards as the Overall Best Student.

Lest I forget, the financially struggling father said he borrowed N9000 that covered theLogistics of moving to the stadium with his family to cheer his son up during the competition.However, he is still grateful for his son achieving such feat.

I still maintain that we are not doing enough to encourage education and Academic excellence in this Country. It is sad! #IRMC

What where you expecting a child like that to receive, should the government gift him five million or five biilion before you are satisfied,education is not showbiz,where sponsors provide fund's,that little boy does not even need money now,what he needs are more books and scholarship.

Bros, no vex oo, you are part of the problem we have in this country... Your thoughts are just too myopic

Well-done governor.

Education is good, schooling is a scam.

But if it’s that rubbish BBN now

What a governor..

Continue to disgrace me. Ok

Meanwhile, they buy cars and houses for hoe's as birthday gift.

This is lugubrious

And Beauty pageant or BBN collect Millions

God bless him immensely

In advanced/civilised societies,any form of excellent performance and achievement by a student is rewarded with a prize tied to a scholarship in one field or the other. This brings continuity in education to the student and a general development in the society. That of Nigeria is different. We expect govt to carry the responsibilties of the family by either giving houses or cash to the person or his/her family. This is wrong. Govt should tie rewards for excellence to a scholarship if we must go forward in this country.

Nigeria need total overhauled cos we ve been scammed!

Meanwhile, sm1 fu*king on live TV is gonna go home with 45m. God pls give me conscience.

Nigeria Don finish

you're a dullard... and did he get the scholarship?

Sad really.
Scholarship would have been more creative.
If a whole ogun state governor could turn up to present notebook n 5k for a best student, then we have not survived peculiar mess era.

Scholarship could have been better... Ndi Ara
