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

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

bigtt76:
If people who are corrupt or declared wanted (#NISrecruitmentScandal) were conferred with National honors wonder why Dada doesn't deserve it

adwem2003:
Go to school first and have 5.0. Then come back and write this thrash.

Carlmax:
Please dear nairalanders: has there been any other graduate that made a perfect G. P in or from Nigeria. I need replies. Thanks.

opeyemi361:
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

Oahray:
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!

3rdlegxxx:
Please dude don't bother with this lot, their intelligence level is really embarrassing and all these people are probably graduates or in some poly or uni, common achievement or national honors they really can't understand or different, it's quite saddening.

WOruGunu:
I wud suggest he is honored wit ORDER OF CHANGE OF NIGERIA OCN.




MY OPINION THOUGH


5.0 NO b maize ooooo I still dey battle wit 2.2

layla129:
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.

olsmade:
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.

daveP:
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!!

emmanuelkant77:
...i suppose u misunderstood d msg am tryin to pass across,,,am a no1 fan of education,,bt d way people lay so much emphasis on certs n skul is wat baffles me....i ve bin opportuned to watch graduates gt interviewd,,,guyz wt gud grades frm rputable skulz,,bt at d end none met de requirements....acquire skills,,educate yaself nt dat typ we get frm universities wia we act lik robots,,,wia 1hr after an exam u've forgotten virtually all dat u read....hw is dat education??....

layla129:
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.

ADBOK:
If you wanted to play to the gallery with this rebuttal, you did a terrible job and you deserve all possible condemnation! You see in life courtesy and respect for another are vital ingredients of all interrelationships, however if you are too savage to manage that at least leave a man's family out of your focus for insults! You need to learn manners!...

3rdlegxxx:
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.

daretodiffer:
You cannot blame those who attacked the OP. The tone of his post shows that he is greatly envious of the guy.

Beemhan:
download sense bros... There's a new version available

3rdlegxxx:
well i can't really argue with you on that one, he actually did come off as envious even tho it was a bit.

daretodiffer:
You think he is not going to ace it and that is beside the point. That point is totally irrelevant.

It is like telling me that a law degree in Nigeria is useless because I can't use in developed countries.

Both of you do not know what you are talking about. There are several jobs unrelated to psychology that he can do with that grade.
