If that's the full story then the ogas should be indicted and arraigned before the Aziz and charged with cruelty, for advising such an excellent student about money and not giving him any. But for a surety they must have assured him of funding/ a scholarship/ stipendium/ grant for anything that he would like to do in the future , as that is surely the point of having such prize giving and honours ceremonies , to encourage and reward excellence, not mediocrity. To give tangible rewards not just stiff moral sermons about wine and women and how money corrupts and can corrupt absolutely. In my opinion a hefty cash prize would be a very good incentive for a poor boy ( or even a rich one) to study harder. Perhaps, the members of the house of reps were afraid or were being cautious about rewarding excellence by awarding cash prizes lest such prizes be interpreted or equated with the giving of bribes to encourage students – you can bet that there are those who if they only could buy a degree or two with some extra money at their disposal
N.B. Even Nobel Prizes are sizeable rewards of cash…

i hope its not trueso, with all that pomp, all he got was verbal encouragement?is money not vital for most creative developments?why cant they use that as their own guidance instead of the massive moneys they are described as being paid?The reps should have funded him to do anything he wants with his life.im not pleased with the statement 'We don't have money to give you, but what we are going to do is not only intended to inspire you, but to encourage other students.'On 24 March 2016 at 19:05, Oluwatoyin Adepoju <oluwas...@gmail.com> wrote:---------- Forwarded message ----------
