@ann_yyz:

“Cheap” is relative! How much is minimum wage? Exactly! To the average Nigerian, it is expensive. Your comment is somewhat insensitive."

@007burch:

"Quite insensitive! Especially coming from a man who comes on Twitter to whine about NBC, LASG, and their levies trying to run him out of business. We are very selfish people."

"It is worth it if the school provides services that fit its fee. Teaching quality, pupil treatments, educational seminars, and excursion. Your children should be getting what you paid for."

@exec_boss:

"Though they say, "if you think education is costly, try ignorance" but my dear, should education really be this expensive while we have millions of talented kids whose families could not afford to give this kind of quality education?"

A user pointed out that Jason earns in foreign currency is what he thinks the school is cheap, to which he replied that he and his wife did not enjoy certain privileges and the school has its target audience.
