Many Nigerians have been crying out over the misnomer that TV reality stars are given millions of Naira gift by organisers of the shows in conjunction with corporate organisation while students with academic excellence get ridiculous amount of money for their outstanding performance and brilliance in school.
A similar scenario have played out again when the best graduating student of Department of Civil Engineering from Ekiti State University (EKSU), Ado Ekiti, is awarded a cash gift of N100 only.
For emphasis and clarification, the cash gift amount was also spelt out in words as ‘One Hundred Naira only’.
The absurd amount was awarded to Bamisaye Tosin Tope and the letter informing the awardee of the ‘precious’ cash prize is from the office of the registrar of EKSU.
See some of the reaction of Nigerians below.
