Between Olajumoke and Ayodele Dada

Not many people are familiar with the name Ayodele Dada. On the contrary, Olajumoke has become a household name in Nigeria. Men of God who hitherto used the biblical Esther as a reference point in the topic of favor has found in Olajumoke, another perfect example.

Olajumoke's story of rag to riches resonates with many who see luck as the ultimate determiner in the affairs of men. From Stanbic bank to Payporte, from this day newspaper to CNN, Olajumoke has raked in brand deals and featured on international TV.

Ayodele Dada is the young man that graduated with a perfect CGPA of 5.0 from the university of Lagos. He smashed all his courses and came out with A's in everyone of them. Such feat can only be accomplished by geniuses.

But in a clime where Linda Ikeji's Hermes bag makes news, Ayodele Dada's uncommon accomplishment struggles to make headline.

To graduate with a CGPA of 5.0 requires hard work, discipline, focus, diligence, consistency and discipline. These are values every nation should celebrate and encourage her citizens to imbibe.

Ayodele Dada has no brand deals to his name, he may not feature in any TV show beyond NTA, people may not recognize his face on the road, he may even struggle to land a good job.

Welcome to Nigeria! Ours is a nation that places premium to what matters less.
