The controversial OAP, who doesn’t hesitate to jump in on trending issues, not minding the commendations or the backlash that may arise, took to his Instagram handle once again to weigh in on the circumstances surrounding Olajumoke’s sudden rise to fame.

In a post which he captioned ‘POVERTY MENTALITY’, he pointed out that somehow, Daniel the guy who graduated with a perfect CGPA of 5.0 was not enjoying the same kind of spotlight that is now Olajumoke’s reality.

Here’s what he had to say below:
” 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!
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!
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! Just my thought on a Saturday evening~FRZ”

Daddy Freeze posted this picture of Daniel and Olajumoke, and another ‘unknown’ hawker who International superstar, Ciara, ‘discovered’ and posted her picture on her Instagram page, to her over 10 million followers.

Here’s the picture below:

People have since taken to his page to ‘educate’ him on why Olajumoke’s own is a ‘ miracle’, and why he should learn to ‘mind his business’.

Dr. Jonathan asked the esteemed audience some questions during his speech which included; "Why are some nations rich and some poor? Why do individuals that grow up in similar circumstances end up differently, with some as successes and others as failures? Is the wealth of nations a result of geography, weather, culture, desti...

We still keep in touch right now and some of the things said were unfortunate. “But I have huge respect for him, and I think Jose’s biggest problem was that he trusted us too much. He gave us more holiday because we were champions, he believed in us more, he trusted us more, and we let him down. “The whole team, all the players. And that was the m...
