2 days ago, I graduated from the Obafemi Awolowo University as the Best Graduating Student 17/18 session with a historic 4.98 CGPA of 5.0.
Was also the Best Overall 4 times in ICAN professional exams with 14 awards.
BSc Accounting & 22 academic awards in 4 years. Can only be God!
However, social media users, while congratulating him, took notice of the amount of the cheque, Lawal was given and were left in utter disbelief.

Less than $280. For such exceptional brilliance!
What do you expect of a country that undervalues education, spits on quality, discourages hard work, but embraces mediocrity and nepotism?
Misplaced priorities everywhere.
Shameful!
Is the 100k for turn up or what? 👀👀👀
