ReplyDeleteQuoting the Who is Who is wasting everyone's time because it may just tell you intelligence runs in the family.
You dont have relatives who hold high positions ? Too bad. Just because there are close connections does not imply cronyism if the people are capable and deserving. It is still meritocracy. By the way scholarships are awarded based on scholastic achievement. Bursaries are awarded based on scholastic achievements and financial needs. So, a rich man's son getting a scholarship is normal.
People like you are sour grapes looking to topple the apple cart because your life has not brought you success and you are jealous.
As long as it is not you benefitting there is complaints. But, if you find yourself in a situation where you too can get an advantage, then even the most unjust or corrupt situation is probably fine with you. Haha. I believe I have it the nail straight on the head.
