Ayodele Daniel Dada, the first Nigerian to ever graduate with a perfect CGPA in the country’s history has been granted a luxury apartment by Sujimoto construction.

Last week, we shared his story with you and Nigerians have been inspired by how he came out on top in spite of the several challenges students face in the country.

The 29 year old scored As in all the courses he offered in the University and participated in a lot of social activities while at it.

Upon learning of Daniel’s story and meeting with him, popular OAP Freeze spoke out and in his words: “Ayodele Daniel Dada is the 1st Nigerian in 54 years to get a perfect CGPA. My question is, how do we encourage him, and most importantly channel the minds of the forthcoming generation into the realization that our intellectual ability is the driving force behind innovation, which in itself is our greatest asset? How do we dissuade the next generation from the teachings of many pastors, who ‘Barnum’them, by selling the idea of a ready made financial miracle, for 10% of their current income?”

And Daniel’s academic excellence didn’t make things automatically easy for him.

Dear comrades, THE PARADIGM HAS SHIFTED! The 'oil bubble' has burst and a new bubble is about to be birthed. It's the #MadeInNigeria bubble and if we don't tap into it now, we would miss out of the biggest opportunity of this generation. The black gold that used to be was our nation's financial backbone doesn't command the price it once did. It's a new dawn and the perfect time to look inward and drill another type of 'black Gold'. It's time to invest our 'intellectual capital' and grow our human resource potential. Until we realize out inherent capability we cannot utilize it, and to realize it, we have to invest in education, industriousness and innovation. Ayodele Daniel Dada is the 1st Nigerian in 54years to get a perfect CGPA. My question is, how do we encourage him, and most importantly channel the minds of the forthcoming generation into the realization that our intellectual ability is the driving force behind innovation, which in itself is our greatest asset? How do we dissuade the next generation from the teachings of many pastors, who 'Barnum' them, by selling the idea of a ready made financial miracle, for 10% of their current income? How do we encourage them to stay back and build Nigeria instead of running overseas, further depleting our 'intellectual economy'? Despite all Ayodele's potential, he is about to be evicted from his home @sujimoto81 need you! Dear Senator Bruce, you often speak about #MadeInNigeria. Let us develop him so he won't be stolen from us by the intellectual poachers of the western world. Innoson, please give this man a car. If you can win a car at the headies for singing skibirobisko, I believe he should be awarded one too MTN, GLO, ETISALAT and AIRTEL you give Multi Million Naira endorsements to Musicians whose songs quite often possess Questionable Lyrics and Encourage a 'Poverty Mindset' please endorse this gentleman. Governor Fayose, leave APC and Buhari for a few minutes and attend to Ayodele who is from your state (Ekiti). Please put the might of your office behind him and he would make your state proud! I have begun to live the change I preach. I will put whatever little power I have, behind @ayodeledanieldada. ~FRZ

Freeze went on to inform Nigerians of his accommodation challenges also imploring successful Nigerian companies to help invest in Daniel’s intellectual potential.

In an awesome turn of events, Freeze personally reached out to the CEO of Sujimoto construction, who was responsible for providing a luxury apartment for Olajumoke.

Although controversial musician, Dencia was reported to have offered to help with Daniel’s rent, the enthusiastic CEO of Sujimoto, Sijibomi Ogundele,  was quoted to have said: “Never again in the history of this country would the talent of a young man/lady be left without helping him attain his full potential”.

Daniel is an example of Nigerians who continue to shine through and excel in whatever field they may be. We hope his genius potential is tapped into for the development of the country.
