Omowunmi Akinnifesi; From Queen to an MSC at Kings

The former beauty queen (MBGN 2005) is studying for an Msc in Environmental, Modeling, Monitoring and Management at the prestigious Kings College London, as Environmental Ambassador of Lagos State.

She is improving her Environmental Research skills and acquiring a broader knowledge of the Environment and Energy field. She is also working in conjunction with the British Red Cross on their ongoing projects which focus on: UK flooding, Uganda, Bangladesh and The East Africa drought crisis.
We have to learn from the best in order to solve our own environmental issues and this is the task the beauty queen is undertaking.

Why the hell is Lagos State Government wasting tax payers money paying her school fees at expensive Kings College of University of London? Surely this is wrong. Why should tax payers fund her education? She and her family could never afford this, but tax payers are paying for it. When I went to University of London, my parents paid for mine. Your parents should pay for yours. Stop playing the system. Omowunmi Akinnifesi, stop milking the system. Stop. Enough is enough. You need to bloody pay your own way. As for your meaningless "Environmental Ambassador of Lagos State" it's not hard to know how you got it. You and whoever within Lagos State government that gave you this stupid and wasteful scholarship (which other people more deserving than you had no opportunity to apply for and not based on need or academic achievement) deserved to be flogged and jailed for FRAUD.

@Moji did this girl offend you personally? i dont know this girl from adam and i really do appreciate focused people. The least u can do is to wish her the very best of luck with it. Whoever is funding it is entirely non of your business..Nigerians!!! you said she was an attention seeking jobless child, now she wants to study and y'll are hating? like seriously???

WOWW she's at my uni....gud

Hmn!! Is this a Lagos State sponsored program? It wasn't really clear from the article and I don't want to base this comment on assumptions.

If it is, what are her qualifications for receiving this "scholarship"? What was her first degree? Was this open to the public?

If indeed it is, then it's such a shame that nothing's changed in Nigeria. It's equivalent to fraud and embezzlement. The fees for an MsC in Kings college (well over £9000) can be used for various environmental improvement programs or even as a start for outlining the solution to the Lekki floods.

Sounds like a case of Ambassador for the environment with " benefits

Anonymous said...

I wonder if there was a selection process for the award/scholarship, if not, why should Lagos State pay for her education?
I'm pretty sure there were more deserving candidates.
This Naija...

For the record, people from rich and comfortable homes do runs too...HAHAHAHA!

hmmmm ! clearly a lagos state funded "education" right thur... so i guess she"ll be made minister when she comes back. no?? *LOUD HISS*

It is not a beans to get into Kings College but i just hope they are not using the State money to fund this girl's education. It would not be fair on all the poor people wasting away, all the Lagos state workers who are not paid their salaries on time if state funds are used for this girl's education.

Also, na wa for all these meaningless, unnecessary positions "Environmental ambassador" ...can she tell us what she has done for the environment?mchewwww...Naija is a lost cause

all of u ignorant pple saying all dis nonsense about her nid 2 shut up!dis is a very smart girl dat knws exactly wat she wants.. I knw her personally and she's not lyk dat!

I can't understand how people could be so jealous of this beautiful girl who has achieved a lot in her young life on the back of her hard work- I have spoken to her a couple of times and can tell you she is one of the smartest young women I have ever come across and besides, gaining admissions into King's College London is not easy at all but I am not surprised she got in!!

Mowumi is from a rich home and she is a brilliant girl. You people should stop saying rubbish. Her siblings studied in the UK and USA. GBAM!

Anonymous said...

Believe me. A lot of fraudulelent cases goes on in Nigeria without being challenged. Y is she given a scholarship to go study wen such funds can be channelled into something more beneficial to Lagosians @ home. This is really unfair!.

By the way, these girls r just too vain.

She is pretty thats for sure, she dresses very well more than others. i don't see any big deal in her education being paid for, they could spend that money on hotels if u know what i mean. At least one nigerian is been educated wit the money. wish her luck.

This sort of thing happens and no one dare say anything or do anything to stop it because there are too many crooks in power. It is time to make a change. It is wrong to use government money in this bad economic period to finance Omowunmi's expensive education. In Lagos State, there are far more deserving projects, NGO and students from poor families who need financial assistance from Lagos State government, but don't and cant get any help because of people such as Omowunmi Akinnfesi, who (in collaboration with corrupt officials) have dried up the coffers of Lagos State Government.

The girl should just have shut her mouth and enjoyed Lagos state's largesse. The problem with these runs girls is that they are so childish that they want to prove to people that they are big and then end up with egg on their face.

And NOTE!!!! She is NOT from a rich family. Sending your children to school abroad is not an indication on being wealthy.

Don't understand exactly what she is studying but i understand the need for more action concerning our environment. Lagos State is doing well to save Lagos from any possible environmental disaster and also ensuring women are participating in these efforts.

i know so many nigerians that studied Msc environmental in my uni and up till now some of them have not gotten a job in nigeria..what a wast country with useless leaderships full of sugar daddys.....

Kings College is part of University of London.

@Moji, don't waste your time because most Nigerians don't understand the truth that you tried to 'expose'.

Everybody wants to belong and nobody wants to know a loser. In Nigeria, scholarships are now for for rich people. Nonsense!

aww i feel bad for her.....
but if she got into kings college london not based on academics alone.....then i can see why people r frustrated, it hard to get into kings college so i suspect her title for working as env ambas defo helped her. its her time to shine....if she does not pass they course then i think people should talk for now...ppl shld allow her...
