Cool FM's OAP, Daddy Freeze took to Instagram yesterday to shade former bread seller, Olajumoke Orisaguna getting endorsements within a week and a UNILAG student, Ayodele Daniel Dada who emerged as the first Nigerian to finish university with a perfect CGPA of 5.0 getting none.
He shared the photo above and wrote,
'POVERTY MENTALITY'
When
are Nigerians going to celebrate real achievements? On the left is Mr.
Ayodele Daniel Dada the first Nigerian to finish university with a
perfect CGPA of 5.0 and on the left is Mrs. Olajumoke Orisaguna a
'former' bread seller.
Before Ayodele, no
one had 'EVER' finished with a perfect CGPA in UNILAG!!! Since it was
established in 1962, he made history by becoming the first to achieve
such a commendable feat!
Freeze also called out Kunbi of April by Kunbi, CNN and Nigerian blogs. He wrote, "Now,
so many questions come to mind. How come my dear friend Kunbi of 'April
with Kunbi' hasn't styled him or recommended him for styling? How come
CNN hasn't done a story on him? How come his life isn't documented on
blogs daily? How come he isn't a brand ambassador for any product? The
questions are ceaseless. Ciara put up a post of an equally beautiful
traffic hawker selling some type of fruit yesterday and she was
described, in Ciara's own words as 'beautiful and talented'. If these
two 'hawker beauties' were discovered less than 2 months apart, it means
that beautiful girls that hawk commodities aren't in short supply in
Lagos. While people who finish with with a 5.0 CGPA are almost non
existent! It took 54 years to produce the first one!
He continued with, "While
Olajumoke and this other lady are rough stones that could be polished
to achieve a lustrous shine, Ayodele is a true jewel, a rare yellow
diamond in its truest and purest form. Let's not let our 'poverty
mentality', that makes things of lesser importance seem valuable, cloud
our judgement. I have no objection to polishing stones to bring out
their shine, but please let's not do it at the expense of gems of
inestimable value! The outcome of our future depends largely on 'what'
or 'whom' we invest in. If Japan, Switzerland or America invested their
time and money in pretty bread sellers, we won't have the brains behind
their automotive, aeronautic, horological or financial achievements
today. I'm not saying we shouldn't celebrate Olajumoke o! Before people
call me a hater but like hell we must celebrate Ayodele first!"
