I wonder if the students start getting paid from heaven as soon as they graduate.

Every president around the world narrates their stories of how their parents couldn’t afford three square meals or a pair of sandals.

These type of networking is not connecting at all…

Someone will pay 42m for school in Nigeria

EFCC is supposed to go after any parent that enrols their kids in that school.

@etochris067

Exactly!

I don't think anyone who gets money legitimately and decently can afford such a school.

Anyways, such schools have targeted markets.

@iagharanya

Most of those are money stolen from the public treasury. To be honest, any Nigerian whose child is that school ought to be probed.

@Kckingson

If the school has no people registering their children in that school, they wouldn't have charged such amount.

The people are always the problem.
