Ayodele Dada, the 29-year-old young man who graduated with a cumulative grade point average of 5.0 from the University of Lagos was on Wednesday honoured by the House of Representatives.
Dada received a standing ovation from the House during plenary in honour of his rare academic feat.
In an unprecedented gesture, the House suspended its rules to invite Mr Dada into its hallowed chamber to honour him and commend his remarkable achievement, a tradition usually reserved for visiting presidents and parliamentarians.
The lawmakers noted that the young man's success story in the face of the challenges in the education sector, is compelling and an inspiration to the Nigerian youth and the country in general.
And after the standing ovation what else?

ReplyDeleteThey should give the guy a JOB. Atleast they put their kids in CBN list, NIMASA list and NPA list.

So many brilliant minds in this country, but no job.

DeleteChoi! See beta work places wey u mention...to work in either of these three just dey hungry me especially NPA. I know one man who usually gives tithe of 100k in church and I don use my brain calculate his salary. He works with NPA
DeleteSome people may have an covenant with GOD where they pay more than 10% as tithe
DeleteMeaning he earns 1m? Go to shell and/or total and hear their salary. 1m is very very small my dear
DeleteHahahaha @ anony
DeleteHonor with How much?
ReplyDeleteGreedy people
Awww!He reminds me of my very own self during my academic years. I am always d first right from primary school.But
ReplyDeleteHe still have to make money. Education without cash is useless.
Really James? Lol
DeleteOlodo
He reminds you of your academic days or apprenticeship days? Only the English wey you write, I wonder your classmates if you fit take first. I am always the first.... When you graduate primary school come tell us. I now understand why your reasoning is so shallow
Delete😂😂😂😂😂James aka money maker olodo feeling funky 😎
DeleteSharrap there.you first or after last. With this brain you use in commenting here? Abeg leave us alone biko. Politicians are lying enough for Africa @James.
DeleteMe am still in awe how this boy did it o,5.0??????
ReplyDeleteOnly standing ovation? No work ?
ReplyDeleteDey had better do more!!
ReplyDeleteYes, these are the kind of people who deserve to be celebrated. They are good examples to our children. It is good to help those who derailed along the line , but don't make it seem like they are role models. Example, Olajumoke left primary school to go 'chop' adam's apple, now they portray her like a role model. Helping her is good, but don't let our children think she should be emulated. No, I am not jealous of her and God knows I don't want to be popular. I am only stating my opinion. Curse me, it will go back to you hundred folds. I am coming back to read the responses to my controversial comment. I am ready today!
ReplyDeleteLolzzz.. U don't need to go anon. I get ur point but all d same,is not of him that willeth nor him that runneth,but of Lord that sheweth mercy. To some he gave talent and through it they are made/famous. Eg musicians,comedians etc,to others exceptional brilliance like this first class guy and to others he favours just by grace. Na so e be. Jumoke own even beta say she got married.. no be say she just waka begin chop apple come born. Na just opportunity.
DeleteThumbs up@ Ebi. Until pple understand what favour means, they will just be struggling and toiling while watching those with less effort are rewarded. My dear,I tell pple, it is not my fault that God decided to favor me. Even if I myself know I don't qualify for 95% of the things I very but what can I do than to just keep giving praises. Hmmmm, it is well with our souls.
DeleteY guys can do it Jo!
ReplyDeleteGiv him a job.
Same question on ma mind o
ReplyDeleteWahalahi your head no correct
ReplyDeleteNo job attach to the honour?
ReplyDeleteSmartie!
ReplyDeleteI am sure job opportunities will be thrown your way,the problem now is which to select. hehe
Everyone deserves a chance, even some school drop-outs, bread sellers, once had dreams.
When that dream becomes a reality, you berra "werk" it.
James did you go to school at all. "He still have to make money"
ReplyDeleteYou came first, but you must have failed in English language. Your English is soooo poor in most of ur comments. Our Educational system in this country has really gone down the drain . I see some job applications at work, and I just shake my head in disbelief.
😂😂😂
DeleteNow NASS is talking sense.
ReplyDeleteGood move
ReplyDeleteSomeone employ him altready. This guy is intelligent. 5.0? Abeg make I hide my certificate. Trail blazer noni. Congrats young man.
The return of queen muzanga. Welcome back, stories will resume now. Second GW
DeleteAnon 20:53,yes I am exceptionally intelligent .My certificates are with me as a proof. And I don't brag about it bcos it is not by my power. It runs in my family
ReplyDeleteLike I said some days ago. It takes an intelligent mind to identity another.
It runs in your family? O boy James it's enough o. If your family is as intelligent as you, then your neighbors are in trouble lol, because you sound like a half wit. You are screaming intelligence and still writing unintelligent. An exceptionally intelligent person won't have to scream it, it speaks for itself. Yours is very mute. Money maker aka James, you've being trying so hard please it's not working. Drop it o. Who are you trying to impress? You are faceless like me behind that your Windows 95.ah ah weti happen. Online everyone is a hero, until we they've started bagging PhDs.
DeleteThis is a good honour and I am sure job will follow. They should make sure he serve in a good establishment with the hope of getting good job after service and not to run of the country.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the guy..a standing ovation from those pot bellied men and women?that is an achievement i dey teh you..Just go hang d pinshure for your room
ReplyDeleteMy guy carry your leg waka go canada..dey are looking for you
I second ur views. Anon 19:57
ReplyDeleteNa standing ovation go pay bills. Mscheeew
ReplyDeleteNot only free job... Everyone of you that took time to write your CVs, take assessments and attend interviews do you have 10 heads. Since he is that good he should go through the same process and not settle for mediocrity. They have commended him LET IT REST!!! Nigerians can be soo sentimental. After all the certificate is in his name. Stop dwelling on past glory and move on.
ReplyDeleteNice one
ReplyDeleteAbout time.
ReplyDeleteAnon 19:57, I get your point. It only takes God's favor to bless one as a lot of people have replied to you here. The problem is not the favor God has shown to Olajumoke, the problem is how people interpret the Favor. The Bible says that Grace abound does it mean we should continue in Sin? The answer is NO. Olujumoke has been favored by God after leaving primary school to eat the apple. Should all girls follow suit and expect God's Favor? NO. My conclusion is that simple. Olajumoke can be paraded as one Favored by God but not a role Model to our female Kids. God has given every one a Talent please explore and use it well and God's Favor will surely come
ReplyDeleteAnon 20:18 how did you know the man gives thithe of 100k. Na una type they help pastor count money for church people dey put. Na una dey know how much person go put and una refused to put money for offering. May God help you and deliver you from poverty
