The journey of little Success Adegor, student of Okotie Eboh Primary School, Sapele, Delta State, into limelight was not premeditated or foreseen to be but as we believe that whatever fate has in stock for one must surely come to play. We all know what brought out little Success into light, and whatever is being done to salvage her situation from being grounded especially from different people towards her education, as I believe that such talent shouldn't allowed to go down like that. Of course, in the viral video that went around, her intonation showed that she values education for her to be committed to being flogged than being sent home for non-payment of the examination fees.

But to tell ourselves the plain truth, this scenario that played out for Success shouldn't have been at all, and this is telling us that this is the real face of Nigeria staring directly at us. What is the situation of our educational system in the country, across all states, and across the local governments? What is the situation of our educational background?

Baby Success is now popular, and every body wants to pay her fees to university level. A lot of celebrities want to be the ones that pay her school fees, they want to be known with her, they are trying to do publicity stunt, as if there is no other "Success" on the street, or in every corner of this country. How many have you helped?

There is a naked kid on your street, there is one which parents are not able to pay his or her school fees, living in front of your house, you're not showing compassion towards that "Success". There is a kid sleeping with an empty stomach, yet ordinary biscuits you failed to buy for her, you won't because the video or Facebook isn't turned towards your side and no one is watching you. Hypocrites everywhere!!

There is no doubt we have a failed government everywhere, or why is it after the trending video that the Delta State government now realized that it must renovate the diaplitated school, in which Success went, or that is when they will suspend the headteacher for collecting fees which is not supposed to be, yet we ourselves as individuals kept failing ourselves. We keep doing ourselves, we are yet to get things to be done appropriately as to get the desired result but as at now, we kept making same mistake and we want to get a desired, and yet it is not possible.

You all looking for Baby Success, go next door and put a smile on a kid's face, there are a lot of baby Successes around us. Help a kid today.......
