Aigbofa:
Aki and Pawpaw got national awards but a fellow with a real achievement shouldn't?

seriously, this is the most lame comment today. how do you define an achievement?

I concur with the writer, as nothing stops every first clss graduate from having a National honour! National honour is not Guiness Book of world records or Hall of fame. Dada was exceptional no doubt but please Let's learn as a nation what certain things mean before we jump into conclusions. I commend the write for his brave point.

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

not 100% but at least 70%

name 5 that are alive?

Does it matter whether they are dead or alive? Unless you are suggesting that money is a recent invention.

Wailers and gala sellers will disagree.....if dada is from anoda region naw,we no go hear word...

Overuse of the word Wailer. Get a life!

int the world we live in today...MONEY is EVERYTHING..bros leave that talk.......will all the recognition in the world put food on the table or pay bills?

Explain to us why this comment is so lame and why Aki and pawpaw "achievements" are more remarkable than a 5.0 GPA

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

All those in favor for the prayer say Aye!! against say *Nay*!!

Will come back and hit the hammer.

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

Thrash? .

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!

Chill nah.... Nothing personal!

How the hell are you sure he is not spontaneously intelligent? Stop the unnecessary hate. Such feat should be celebrated.

Redcliff: Pragmatic thinking is always called hating in Nigeria. Let him wait for the government to celebrate him....

come and eat food.. Its ready.. SMH

Hard truth to swallow.... But the truth will always remain the truth....

Aigbofa:


And you wonder why Africa is not going anywhere soon.

even abroad....MONEY is EVRYTHING......sit down and really think about it.

They should also give other Nigerians that have been making 5.0 before him, Na only him waka come
One Olusegun made 5.0 in 1976 from Uni ife and have not invented anything, One alusi in russia abi uk score 5.0 also

Keep hating.. I will belive you If you can point to any of your family with such outstanding performance... If fg honor the guy and you no dey satisfy the lagoon is available.. Better face your bizness

bigtt76:

Nigerians are too quick to see haters . They listed the national honors and the people that fall on every category . If you call him hater then tell us which national Dada should be given

Read up on the history of Apple, the company later made it's founders unbelievably rich. They were hobbyists who loved what they were doing, if the initial goal was to become rich there probably wouldn't be Apple today. The same goes for many inventors who made money from their inventions and the others who didn't.
So, it is not always about money.

Omoh see bad belle. Whether he deserves it or not is not my business. However, this issue has been publicised alot. Ogbeni na only u get first class.

spalletti:
I concur with the writer.I think for now,Scholarships, Financial Assistance and Automatic Employment is okay for him.

I don't knw why Nigerians always attach sentiment to issues and argue blindly. What he achieved is for his personal benefit although, we rejoice with him. What benefit does his 5.0cgpa have on Nigeria's economy? Or u pple dnt knw the meaning of a National honour?

so why didnt they reject the money when it started coming in?..after all it wasnt about the money...why did it become a "company"?

You are absolutely right but explain to us what Aki and Pawpaw did for Nigeria and humanity.
