This girl here is Chinaecherem Cynthia Ali. And of course, she is Igbo. From Igbo-Eze north L.G.A of Enugu state.
But that is not the gist.
The real gist here is that Miss Chinaecherem just made A1 in all her 9 subjects in SSCE (WAEC).
She is the overall best students for 2016/2017 academic session in her school.
She is the overall best students for 2016/2017 academic session in her school.
Before this, she had represented her schools in various inter secondary school competitions and had won several awards including an award from Mathematical Society of Nigeria.
In a world peopled by men with even the tiniest regard for Excellence, this brainy Queen here would already be on her way to one of the best universities on GOVT Scholarship.
Sadly, and to our collective shame as a people, ours is a broken society presided over by broken men who would rather squander millions and billions plus car gifts on some half naked daughters of Eve on some beautiful nonsense called Beauty Pageant and other frivolities only to turn around and 'gift' outstanding students like this with mere Calculator and Mathematical Sets.
Our sense of priority here is nothing short of a walking tragedy!
Shame!
The govt of Enugu state owe it to both man and God to see to it that exceptionally brilliant students such as this girl here, are made to see the inside of a university on Govt Scholarship.
The biggest asset any nation could boast of IS NOT her natural resources.
It is her human resources.
It will gladden me beyond word if it is said that I lived at a time when excellence and hardwork are duly recognised and rewarded.
Congratulations, dear Chinaecherem.
Dear governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and dozens of Igbo leaders from Enugu state, please, convince me and millions of others that hardwork and excellence still pay!
My Goodwill Message goes to My Enugu Brethren.... I congratulate You All.
