Man shares mother's school fees receipt
According to him, the amount his mother paid as school fees several years ago can only buy pure water and probably biscuits in today’s Nigeria.

“I went to the village last December and I found something very, very interesting. I found my mum’s school fees receipt from 1994. The price on the school fees receipt dey actually burst my brain. If you say 100 naira, you're wrong.”
He explained in the video, adding that in those times, many graduates mostly found good jobs after their graduation from the university; however, things may not be the same at the present moment.

The caption of the TikTok video helps to explain his story more.
It read:
“Found my mum’s school fees receipt from UNN 32 years ago.”
