Fortune has smiled on Ikekpeazu Chidinma, the young lady who became viral for receiving a reward of 10,000 naira after she became UNN best graduating student in Medicine. The controversy raged as a result of GTbank logo inserted in the check presented to her, which had people question the justification of giving such a meagre amount.
Why UNN had presented such an amount is still unknown, but a philanthropist has awarded her with the sum of 500,000 Naira. A man in charge of a Nigerian Non-governmental Organization named KBK foundation. The foundation had first searched social media accounts to find her but they claimed there were many users on Facebook with the name, Ikekpeazu Chidinma. They however requested for identification and then after they confirmed from the University of Nsukka, they gave her the lump sum.
He expressed his surprise, that even after the huge publicity the news got no other person thought of giving money to Chidinma, including the popular comedian who had something to say about rewards being in heaven.
Congratulations, Chidinma.
