By Mojisola Delano Last updated Aug 8, 2017

A young lady who graduated as the best medical student from University Of Nigeria was yesterday rewarded with the sum of N10,000 by the Medical Students Association for her hard work.

This caused outrage online, with many Nigerians saying that academic excellence in the country is downplayed and not celebrated enough. They compared it to the winning prize of beauty pageants and even reality shows like Big Brother, arguing that contestants of these shows are given more relevance than academic scholars.
