I still can't figure how this guy scored 100% for 5 straight years
Its not possible in my book

70% is enough to achieve this feat. Does not have to be 100%. Granted its still commendable.

For everyone else bashing the OP...i believe the links below are the type he is referring to. Achievements that affect lives. Not where someone designs a crude plane that cant even move let alone fly and it makes front page. There was a time when it was a big deal for people that scored highest in jamb...then we dont hear anything about them.

Guy, all I see in you is Jealousy. Olajumoke who is an illiterate got more recognition than this guy. You think it's easy. We Nigerians don't appreciate. Why not use that time to write a book and stop been jealous. Am sure you graduated with PASS. Enemy of progress

U think a dullard can compose what this guy just did? The only person that graduated with a certificate of attendance here is you!
Let him solve a national problem then will he deserve a national honour

Sorry bro, Too late... I will rather make money

No wonder you failed to appreciate what it takes to score 5.0. This is Nigeria where bread hawker, nudity and entertainment are celebrated and given houses, cars and endorsement. If our country must be great, we must celebrate achievements in education no matter how little.
On a lighter mood, what was your grade in school? I tried hard to get first class but could not. It means a lot to me and to lovers of quality success.

don4real18:


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 Federal Republic
(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 (culled from 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
Bello Wahab O.

this 5.0gpa is a scam and this just shows how our educational system is deteriorating very fast.

you don't deserve any honour! go and practice what you read in real life and you will find out that you are the dumbest of all.

so mekn a 5.0cgp deServes a national honour..... baba nawa Fr u o...soon dose dat made 4.9 wil strt clamoring fr dia own....educational achievement s veri d/f frm wats obtainable in real life bro....kudos to him on his personal achievementz,,until he does sumfn de whle nation benefits frm,,conferin him wt a national honour is quite denigratin to d reason fr de award

This is very on point and the fact that he is even being considered for a national honour (which i hope is false) is evidence that we have not gotten our priorities right. So what happens when another guy graduates with 5.0 (abi is it 7.0) from UI next year? He also gets an award? For what exactly? Getting 5.0 at the undergraduate level means you have been able to very successfully regurgitate what was taught to you. He has almost definitely not added to the body of knowledge in any way, shape or form. People get 4.0 (out of 4) on a yearly basis in several schools in the US and nobody thinks of giving them useless national honors. Schools and/or companies compete to hire them or enroll them in their post-graduate programs.

Aki and Pawpaw got national awards but a fellow with a real achievement shouldn't?

The movie industry in Nigeria is one the biggest non-govt employer and income generating, earn Nigeria global firm with billions of foreign earnings for Nigeria and Aki &Paw have contributed a lot there. Hence, they have contributed immensely to the national development.
The 5.0 GPA earner hasn't done anything for national development except to earn himself a huge reputation.
He needs to use his capacity to add value to Nigeria and then he would have earned national honours.

What is philosophy?when he studies a "real " program ,like Medicine or Engineering. I will give him my respect t

Aki n paw paw have contributed far more than a 5.0 paper certificate. Their contribution to d entertainment industry in Nigeria is great and has brought so much joy to millions of Africans n beyond.

Aigbofa:


You are absolutely right but explain to us what Aki and Pawpaw did for Nigeria and humanity.

Blame Gej

before i comment and get banned againHe didn't go well with that statement.. he needs toCtrl +del it..so much hatred to his fellow man.

A slap is more like it

People like Herbert Ogunde and Eddy Ugboma were making movies in Nigeria long before either Aki or Pawpaw was born.

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!

In a country where some people are raising hell and calling themselves education is haram, a gentleman with a 5.0 GPA should get a national award.

Aigbofa:

You should go and ask the clueless Jona that gave them the award. We can't continue making mistakes...we should learn from these developed countries we always want to run to.

if actually spewed dis thrash,,,den am afraid cux ur definitely de one who graduated wt a pass,,,,hw on earth is it reasonable to confer national award on one simply becuz he made 5.0,,,i jus hop is nt kerosene u hav up dia in ya brain

Mr. Dada has done well and am proud of him. If u do well in anything u lay ur hands u deserve recognition &honour. All this bad belle people go & sleep.

That's just the truth. He can't do anything with that certificate in developed countries if he doesn't earn their own certificate in addition.

these bush people envy yoruba people no be small after all the success they've got frm d attache by force..

Nolly wood
Afrobeat
Education

e.t.c

i wonder what igbo people will be today without the yorubas

LOL. You may be right o. But with all the claims, why are many of you so filled with vitriol and venom when you hear these people talk of self-determination? Seriously, I can't relate these things. I expect you people to come out and say "please, let this people cease to be part of our country". That's how to show dignity.

repogirl:
Na jealousy be this o.

Thank you dear. I was also thinking the same thing. Those asking who him result don help are just being jealous and unreasonable.

xender:
u have ur point..


bhu if u want 5.0 u can go and read.

If miss Unilag can be given brand new car for sexuality behavours I as a person I don't see what Bad if they can Hounour Mr Ayodele Dada for his Excellence

JeffreyJamez:
who 5.0 don help?......it defintiely didnt help him in paying his house rent...lol

it's a sweet news and I like his story, but sincerely, I think overall, he made the right cgpa under the wrong atmosphere called Nigerian education system!!

Mekurexx:
Lol so what do you categorize as someone deserving to bag a national honour? what he needs is national recognition not some honour or whatever. Why compare Olajumoke and the guy? thats very shallow if you ask me. The best govt can do to the guy is fund any further studies or employ him in a good firm. The guy that designed the national flag and anthem we both and even this 5.0 gpa guy use till tomorrow, will you give him a national honour or recognition? Which has impacted the country more?

Nice one man, u made sense, over and over again, most of the comments i am reading here shows the low level of thinking and intelligence of the Nigerian youth, someone comparing him with olajumoke that she has more recognition, daft comment, shooting themselves in the leg, the topic is does he deserve the honours? No, does he deserve national recognition? yes with financial support or a scholarship for further studies and more.
