Btw, just for the record….
I do NOT personally watch BBN, but have absolutely nothing against it.

Nonetheless, please explain to the rest of us what exactly is “base” about a value system that basically rewarded PRIVATE enterprise that created a LEGAL product that was apparently enjoyed by MILLIONS of people (who were actually willing to pay for it) both inside and outside Nigeria? Is it the JOBS created for the wide range of Nigerians involved - content creators, producers, architects, builders, designers, marketers, advertisers, suppliers, artisans, technicians, security, administrative personnel, etc.? Is it the livelihoods sustained by these jobs or is it the tax revenue that accrued to the government from income and corporate taxes and other charges and/or licenses?

A great thing about the human experience is VARIETY and diversity. Not everyone is going to be lawyer, engineer, doctor, healthcare or other professional or a scientist or teacher or (increasingly in Nigeria) a bible-thumping pastor. LET A MILLION FLOWERS BLOOM!!

Oh, that is simple. Resources go to where interests lie. If little or nothing goes to rewarding educational dexterity and enterprise it clearly speaks volumes.

That is why we may excel in entertainment and the arts but cannot solve simple national challenges that affect all things and all people.

Societies that have even greater degrees of success in the things we boast about still find it in themselves to value education and celebrate performances there.

My child; be a Daughter or Son will first learn how to repair cars, generators or refrigerators atleast have something doing before gaining admission.

It's not an error. The awards were actually instituted in early 80s when naira has value. Unfortunately, the boards of trustees of those entities have not increased the value of the award to reflect the present inflation realities.

First, money is apparently the highest value in life to you…
And you apparently equate worth (and probably your self-worth) with money.

Nonetheless, why shouldn’t an “illiterate” like Razak Okoya, the son of a poor tailor who worked his tail off and pulled himself up by his bootstraps be richer than “educated” lazy professors always on strikes and engaging in sex-for-grade harassment of students young enough to be their daughters? Why shouldn’t a poor “illiterate” elementary school dropout and orphan like Cosmas Maduka (Coscharis) who worked against all odds to become a billionaire (and eventually go do an EMP at Harvard) not be richer than some self-entitled “educated” Nairalander who spends all of his time wailing instead of working? Sadly, it’s this mentality that underlies the certificate-chasing culture (which btw is distinct from education, because education is not confined to classrooms and certifications) of Nigerians.
