The laptop can be used to make enough money to buy a car.
Ask the famous Nigerian celebrity gossip blogger how many cars and houses she has bought from just blogging on her laptop?

Psalmwise:
....meen u funny sha so if u re told to pick either a car or a laptop ...u wud pick a laptop....ifshe sells dat car do you knw how many laptop dat wud cum out from the money gotten from the sale of the car...,meen ur sense of reasoning is very high sha...

You tried!

Except that she cant sell the car!
It is a branded car, she has to drive it for a year or so before she can unbrand it.

Besides, the thought of selling the car might sound crazy and alien!
She has started on this "beauty" stuff, her other sense of creativity might have already been numbed.

Right now, she might be thinking of being the next "Glo Ambassador" or something like that.
Yet, at the end of it all, it is not really about what they "got", it is about what they have to offer to humanity!
Let us move on from this attitude of what we can "get" to an attitude of what we can "offer"!

Sincerely I'm always amused by the way some people open
their mouth and say "this poo happens only in
Nigeria....".For christ sake academic and the entertainment
industry are two different sectors,the that won the most
brillant was awarded by the school authority and who told
you the beauty queen was presented a car by the school?
Many people just come here to criticise without necessarily
studying a situation very well.For example in my school,this
"Miss sumtin" is always organized every year and you have
to pay #500 before entry because some stars will also be
their but how many of you critising would have paid #500 to
watch the debate? I'm sure very few if not none.So you see
this is strictly business and not about rating beauty over
brain.Moreover the world celebrities are they the most
brillants?

bigx:



Have you noticed through time (beautiful women get what you sweat for on a platter of gold? ) It's even in the Bible. Brains are given to us for a reason, to work hard and acquire beautiful things.

BEAUTY, so, only the beautiful women are entitled to be given reward? No woman is ugly and every woman is beautiful. SWEAT. Do u want to tell me that the lady that won the best student didn't work for it? REWARD. Now go and read the book of Matthew 25:14-30 and see hw the Man rewarded his servant according to what he gave them. The reward for excellence in education should be higher than any other secondary reward such as beauty contest in an higher institution. Prove my last sentence wrong if u can.

To me o, being brilliant ain't easy at all, it's a big time gift. But to be sincere, except u av sumtin spectacular to bring- like inventing sumtin or bringing sumtin new that is diff from others- education sector is whack! I read some1's comment saying he earns 80k per month, is that d amount u wanna earn for years? Or can a job give u 10mill a month? Only if u av ur own biz o! Only if it's very lucrative, then fine! And under d entertainment sector, do u guys think it's easy to entertain? Especially millions of plp? Many people now run to the entertainment industry for the goodies in it n all. And some said old beauty queens r no where to be found now, that's cos they didn't make use of wat they had wisely. In conclusion, education sector is boring, only if u r distinctive n bring out something differently awesome, if not sidon there. And plp should stop looking for jobs n find their own work n stop blaming govt n leaders! Jeez!

only if you know what that laptop and car symbolizes respectively. The girl with car has been settled. The car will not generete income to her. But the intelligent girl with laptop will see this opportunity as a key to read, browse , write down ideas that will fetch her millions if she works harder

Well said!

Crap.

So the girl that got a car can't also buy a laptop and do the same?

Both girls have been settled.

In Nigeria, putting on a bikini pays more than going for a debate and the blame goes to the organizers of this debates.

Participating in a beauty pageant does not mean that the participants are not intelligent, hell no rather those organizing educational competitions should endeavor to place a high premium on it by making its rewards very attractive just the same way organisers of beauty pageant have been able to make the competition appealing to those who subscribe to it.

The focus here shouldn't be on the ladies that got whatever prizes rather it goes to show how even the stake holder's in the education sector tacitly demean and suppress the value of education.

Act's like this can never motivate nor encourage most intelligent youths to participate in exercises of this nature if at the end of it im only gonna get a laptop while someone putting on a bikini without any mental exercise gets a car.

An educational scholarship would have been more sensible and more of a worthy reward for academic excellence.

The topic is not different frm this analysis

Footballer earn $300,000 per wk
Singer earn $800,000 per wk
Actor/Actress earn $1,000,000 per wk
Graduate earn $300,000 in 25yrs

And u are asking y students fail WAEC and JAMB?

At all....the beauty contest had sponsors and the form was sold for 5,000.The car they gave was a fairly used one.she might have slept her way through.
The debate was solely sponsored by the school.she won some cash too...from her department to faculty to The school as a whole.

Exactly. Oversea scholarship wud hv made more sense instead of ordinary laptop. Am sure the student dat got d best academic prize have a solid laptop.

Funny we don't think about the future, this girl's beauty will fade but the alhaja's contributions to education will remain. This country is dumb, we all talk and learn about Marie Curie, where are the miss worlds' of the 60s and 70s. SHAME

100+ more LIKES
Honestly I weep when I see the wrong turn our value system has taken

repogirl:
Op, do you think it is easy to be fine? Some try and try and they can never get there, so abeg free girls jare! Let their fineness be rewarded!

It's a shame that to you, beauty should only be skin deep and as such should be highly rewarded over brilliance.

It means that intelligent is nothing without marketing it. Whatever idea you got, you have to market it otherwise it's zero. If you can't market it, get extroverts to market it for you.

That's it with the celebrity u know,They earn millions in a jiffy even if not schooled while the trained or rather schooled such as; doctors and engineers tend to be earning just a little.

Nigeria sha... After all her night classes, na hp laptop dem giv her... After all her selfies, na nice car dem giv her.. sum1 talking abt usin d laptop 4 creativity stuffs, mhen dats goat shit.. d miss unilag didn't onli win a car, she won fame nd oda job opportunities, her way done open man.. she's a model so contract nd endorsement na her new neighbour.
The Truth I bitter
But who taste am?...

iamrealdeji:

Not trying to hate this girl,actually,she pretty,but it's really unfair in your school,this is madness,why should they expect scholars that are going to contribute to the living of humankind to be inspired,thats why most people nowadays go by the sayings "Crime Pays" if you stay legit and modest,you don't get recognition for it,but vanity,waywardness and shortcuts get you recognition nowadays,society gets worse everyday,everything that's wrong seem to get you anything you want,stay honest and clean,you get poorer and oppressed and insulted,but manipulate and siphon public fund,you get richer and get praised by people,thats why many people want to get anything by any means necessary nowadays even if killing a fellow man gets them what they want, F.U,C.K.E,D UP society

Sorry to say but its the end of time manifestation

come on, you gotta see the big picture. i'm not in Nigeria but i'm sure that the debate was a free entrance event whereas the pageant was ticketed. right or wrong? see, it all comes down to demand and supply at the end of the day.

this is university tho, if you need a brand new car to motivate you to study then you're probably already in trouble.

Lets look at it from this perspective; what if as an hardworking lady she later decide to give the car to her parent as present. isnt that more of a blessing. OR she sell the car and save the money to derive more interest on it or probably start a business with it.

Common guy, wake up
wat they did was very unfair, bad judgement. If other unserious mind see that she received a car, they will certainly turn a new leaf.

Intelligence is ignored and ignorance rewarded

I smell beef here...you guys should get this straight..the debate competition was organised by the student affairs department..nd d gurl dt won d debate was given 100k nd a laptop...the beauty pagent competition was organisd by a private entertainment company,infact it is always organisd by private ent companies plus dy got a lot of sponsors..plus d contestants paid 5k,.thats y they cud afford 2put up a 2nd hand car as one of the prizes...u guys shud always b sure of sumtin b4 u criticize...d skul authority has natyn to do wit d car...d op is jst tryin 2beef unilag...plus in reality...dis guys dt ar ranting dt unilag is rewardin beauty mor dan brain wil pay 5000naira to watch Ay live buh wil neva pay a kobo to attend educative programs ...u kan buy petrol of 5litres 2 watch project fame,gulda ultimate search ,maltina dance hal,bt u kant spare 1litre to watch educative programs...bomb dy una head...lastly sum1 said u dnt av 2read 2pas in unilag.....yeye dy boil 4ur head..i laf u

Acidosis:
The ROI (Return on Investment) of a beautiful girl to a company is higher than that of a 'brilliant' one. Who says beautiful girls aren't intelligent?

I believe the contest is company sponsored; hence, the company has little to gain from a first class student. As a matter of fact, most of these companies (telecoms, etc) have lots of pending first class and sharp 2-1 resumes.

I really do not blame them; is Ekiti not the Nigerian state with the highest number of PhD holders? What's the impact of PhD degrees on the state?

Companies pay advitisers, models, etc more than hard working staff. It's all about RETURN ON INVESTMENT, not the number of linear equations you can solve on paper.

...and if I'm asked, I will say a 200 Unilag student is intelligent. How do I know?
She passed her O'level papers, utme, and 100 courses.

I have a 7year old nephew who received 1m for simply participating in a 35 seconds TV advert for a fruit juice company. Meanwhile, the same company barely pay entry level degree holders N70k monthly. Its all about the ROI. This same advert, I believe must have yielded more returns for the company, (than what the dude rolling in an office chair can give).

There is absolutely nothing NEW a first class student can give a company whose workforce already consists of 70% first class and 2-1 holders; all they need might just be a funny advert created by "I go die" & voilla!! More millions will roll in!

Someone is also condemning ProjectFame. Let me ask; do you guys know the gain MTN made from Geoffery, Ruky, Emeka, etc? The truth is 5m, 2m, 1m & cars are mere peanuts when compared with the profit the company made from the contest.

Without these "s. illy" contests, most companies wouldn't be able to pay the "intelligent" workers.

We really need to stop criticizing everything!

God bless your generation. please bro add me up 746F8F4C

Acidosis come chop knuckle

People need to stop acting like beauty is such a bad thing.

Sometimes you can’t blame ladies who are crazy about material stuffs, and that is because our society is not encouraging hard work. Study hard, you get handshake. Spend time to look sexy, you get big regards. Smh!
The Miss Unilag 2014 Winner was Awarded Handsomely with a Brand New Car last week, How Come the Most Brilliant Debater get a Laptop?

handshake ? hmmm...study hard--get---handshake--den suffer from ebola!

chaiii diaris GOD..

I believe the poster is suffering from the same syndrome that's affecting the rest of us. The car in our eyes is a bigger reward because that's what our society values more. Who needs a measly laptop that can be used for research and gaining more knowledge when you can get a car and cruise around town so your haters and friends alike will see that you have arrived?

My gosh! Dude, we have to start from somewhere. The 'miss somtin' sponsorers should do it to the education sectors. Am sure their organisation cannot employ uneducated person. Education or school is also business, good tactis can make rewarding-business out if it.
The issue of entrance payment can also be implemented and applied to education events. Am sure people, not only students will come when VVIPs - not only from schools and governments but from also the lovers-of-people-entertainers. With the attachments of some other lively activities and making the debates the principal part of it.
That's the fact, dude. support education.

Lolz
Am not convinced, because beauty can only be for some years but brilliancy and experience is for life.

I THINK THE LAPTOP IS GOOD FOR THE BRILLIANT LADY BECAUSE I CANNOT QUANTIFY THE TIME VALUE OF THE CAR TO THE LAPTOP.
