Let's see it this way: There is an award in place that rewards a student who performs excellently in a particular course or general and they decided to invest 2K on the winner.

My take:

1, It is their money.

2, They have the right to invest any amount of money for an award. E.g. We have scholarships that pay 1 thousand pounds per annum (which is not enough for someone) to PG students, but people still jostle for it. You might not like it, but that is the scholarship body can afford.

3, S/He (student) reserves the right to accept it or decline.

4, It is not obligatory to "dash" a student money because s/he performed well in school. It is an optional decision.


What should be encouraged is people giving to the school and sponsor not berating folks for the amount of money they decide to donate.

The best is for everyone to keep their money and channel it to their family problems.

Abeg, pesin wet get ear, also hear that street does not pay everybody these days.

A good research will convince you.

We students should stop following the crowd; carve out a niche for yourself. I never heard, seen or read any of the principles(whether formal or informal) of success and/or prosperity to be inherent in public opinions; instead, it is always personal.

Yes, I am still a student.
But it may please you to note that I'm not replying you from 'a student mentality' as you call it.
Actually, I was a student, worked for some period, and again became a student in a better dimension. Don't ask me how or why because from what I'm seeing, our definition and concept of life may not be the same. Hence, we see things from different perspectives.

Meanwhile, it would be better if you stop claiming to know the type of youth I am or what I think Nigeria is, because you have no knowledge, whatsoever, of my personality or thoughts of Nigeria.

okerekeikpo:
can you prove it?

Make your research. People learn and believe better these days when they find out things for themselves than when they are told.

However, if you insist I prove it, I hope you wouldn't mind telling me why you consider education a scam.
