The laptop can be used to make enough money to buy a car. Ask the famous Nigerian celebrity gossip blogger how many cars and houses she has bought from just blogging on her laptop? |

Psalmwise: You tried! Except that she cant sell the car! It is a branded car, she has to drive it for a year or so before she can unbrand it. Besides, the thought of selling the car might sound crazy and alien! She has started on this "beauty" stuff, her other sense of creativity might have already been numbed. Right now, she might be thinking of being the next "Glo Ambassador" or something like that. Yet, at the end of it all, it is not really about what they "got", it is about what they have to offer to humanity! Let us move on from this attitude of what we can "get" to an attitude of what we can "offer"! |

Sincerely I'm always amused by the way some people open their mouth and say "this poo happens only in Nigeria....".For christ sake academic and the entertainment industry are two different sectors,the that won the most brillant was awarded by the school authority and who told you the beauty queen was presented a car by the school? Many people just come here to criticise without necessarily studying a situation very well.For example in my school,this "Miss sumtin" is always organized every year and you have to pay #500 before entry because some stars will also be their but how many of you critising would have paid #500 to watch the debate? I'm sure very few if not none.So you see this is strictly business and not about rating beauty over brain.Moreover the world celebrities are they the most brillants? |

bigx:BEAUTY, so, only the beautiful women are entitled to be given reward? No woman is ugly and every woman is beautiful. SWEAT. Do u want to tell me that the lady that won the best student didn't work for it? REWARD. Now go and read the book of Matthew 25:14-30 and see hw the Man rewarded his servant according to what he gave them. The reward for excellence in education should be higher than any other secondary reward such as beauty contest in an higher institution. Prove my last sentence wrong if u can. |

To me o, being brilliant ain't easy at all, it's a big time gift. But to be sincere, except u av sumtin spectacular to bring- like inventing sumtin or bringing sumtin new that is diff from others- education sector is whack! I read some1's comment saying he earns 80k per month, is that d amount u wanna earn for years? Or can a job give u 10mill a month? Only if u av ur own biz o! Only if it's very lucrative, then fine! And under d entertainment sector, do u guys think it's easy to entertain? Especially millions of plp? Many people now run to the entertainment industry for the goodies in it n all. And some said old beauty queens r no where to be found now, that's cos they didn't make use of wat they had wisely. In conclusion, education sector is boring, only if u r distinctive n bring out something differently awesome, if not sidon there. And plp should stop looking for jobs n find their own work n stop blaming govt n leaders! Jeez! 1 Like |

aboyaji: Crap. So the girl that got a car can't also buy a laptop and do the same? Both girls have been settled. In Nigeria, putting on a bikini pays more than going for a debate and the blame goes to the organizers of this debates. Participating in a beauty pageant does not mean that the participants are not intelligent, hell no rather those organizing educational competitions should endeavor to place a high premium on it by making its rewards very attractive just the same way organisers of beauty pageant have been able to make the competition appealing to those who subscribe to it. The focus here shouldn't be on the ladies that got whatever prizes rather it goes to show how even the stake holder's in the education sector tacitly demean and suppress the value of education. Act's like this can never motivate nor encourage most intelligent youths to participate in exercises of this nature if at the end of it im only gonna get a laptop while someone putting on a bikini without any mental exercise gets a car. An educational scholarship would have been more sensible and more of a worthy reward for academic excellence. 2 Likes |

At all....the beauty contest had sponsors and the form was sold for 5,000.The car they gave was a fairly used one.she might have slept her way through. The debate was solely sponsored by the school.she won some cash too...from her department to faculty to The school as a whole. |

It means that intelligent is nothing without marketing it. Whatever idea you got, you have to market it otherwise it's zero. If you can't market it, get extroverts to market it for you. |

come on, you gotta see the big picture. i'm not in Nigeria but i'm sure that the debate was a free entrance event whereas the pageant was ticketed. right or wrong? see, it all comes down to demand and supply at the end of the day. this is university tho, if you need a brand new car to motivate you to study then you're probably already in trouble. |

aboyaji: Lets look at it from this perspective; what if as an hardworking lady she later decide to give the car to her parent as present. isnt that more of a blessing. OR she sell the car and save the money to derive more interest on it or probably start a business with it. Common guy, wake up wat they did was very unfair, bad judgement. If other unserious mind see that she received a car, they will certainly turn a new leaf. |

I believe the poster is suffering from the same syndrome that's affecting the rest of us. The car in our eyes is a bigger reward because that's what our society values more. Who needs a measly laptop that can be used for research and gaining more knowledge when you can get a car and cruise around town so your haters and friends alike will see that you have arrived? |

fowowe411: My gosh! Dude, we have to start from somewhere. The 'miss somtin' sponsorers should do it to the education sectors. Am sure their organisation cannot employ uneducated person. Education or school is also business, good tactis can make rewarding-business out if it. The issue of entrance payment can also be implemented and applied to education events. Am sure people, not only students will come when VVIPs - not only from schools and governments but from also the lovers-of-people-entertainers. With the attachments of some other lively activities and making the debates the principal part of it. That's the fact, dude. support education. |
