So I bumped into this picture on the internet and its seriously got me thinking, why put in so much effort into being the best as a student, and you would be terribly appreciated by people who do not even have what you have, all because we voted them into power, yet some people get highly appreciated for doing things that are not even worthy of emulation. Reports on Facebook has it that Uniosun’s VC and Rauf Aregbesola presented the best graduating student a mug at the 4th and 5th convocation ceremony of the University.
Who remembers the 5.0 best graduating guy from Unilag, Nobody is talking about him anymore. I think we can do better than this as a Nation really, just saying though hmmm.
This scenario is annoying. It’s the height of discouragement from pursuing academic excellence.
Discouragement is an understatement, it highly encourages people to look down on hard work, good success and any thing worthy of emulation
