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.

bluntolumide:
and if the young lad ends up as a yahoo boy now
.........mtchewwww

gone are the days when education used to be the key to success
.........nowadays if you cant use your common sense and do the needful you will die wretched...

I wont go to school just because there's a certainty I would make it in life.......but just to fulfill all righteousness.....

lebron7:

You are the problem
Do you expect the government to give him millions?
And how are you sure he wasn't also given a scholarship

KIDfurniture:
School or no school..he will get to his destination. Education is dying slowly in this part of the world. Your news isnt complete..what's the name of the governor , what state? Name of school? Incomplete news ja re. I consider this post inconclusive. Not valid

MrFly:
The problem in Nigeria starts with people like mr. Poster. What do u expect the government to give the boy? Millions abi? May God forgive our parents whose penchant for greed and material things can never be defined. The sky is ur limit young lad

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

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

Can you listen to yourself? People are expected to think with their brains not through their anuses

ehinorlive:
what is ur networth?

MrFly:
tanx but i still insist that ur penchant for 'free' money is second to none. We have millions of kids like that in the street who partake and come out tops in academic activities daily. Must we always reward excellence with cash? Retrace ur steps and help d country grow.. Dont be a money monger!

MORANOCEE:


The more you try to make sense you sound more foolish. Who is talking about Cash reward here? What about scholarships? Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well not do things without shame. PRIZE is different from GIFT so anything given as a PRIZE didn’t come free cos hardwork is the PRICE for PRIZE. I know your mediocrity comment is because you were part of the idiotic conspiracy at that event. May your sweat go unrewarded! It could have been better with a handshake instead of fooling themselves. Kindly note that the father of the Child is not agitating for anything but I took it up as an Education Advocate because anyone that heard it became embarrassed themselves that a Governor or an event of that magnitude could mock Education publicly. Kindly CHECK MY SIGNATURE LINE

MrFly:
i do not need checking ur signature line, ur comment says it all, imagine u, trying to instigate the gullible public to start up unnecesary and harsh criticism of the government just because ur friends kid was not rewarded handsomely with cash. U said the price for excellence is a prize and the little kid got prizes. The problem of this country is 'awoof' which i understood from ur write up that ur are a strong supporter of. I do not know the governor and am not from that state but i wont sit and watch people of ur kind promoting laziness among the masses through 'awoof' from the government, its agencies, corporate bodies or even individuals. Hardwork pays but we Nigerians must understand that everything isnt about cash. Get that into ur thick skull. Proudly Akwa Ibom son!

MORANOCEE:


You are a disgrace to Akwa Ibom state and even the dogs would deny you for this statement! When a sane man tries to argue with a mad man he begins to sound mad. I can no longer argue with you as the best place for you to rest is the Yaba Left estate with your friends. So sad to have people like you walking freely and talking. I doubt if you ever value education
