“Some Challenges on the way, maybe you fail some exams, maybe you owe school fees. Like there was one part where it was tuition fees, yea. That thing was so embarrassing, I need to say this on camera to schools. I don’t know whether they still do it but if a child owes school fees, don’t call the child out and say you’re owing school fees, just tell the child not to come to school.

There’s one other thing they used to do, they used to flog the child for not paying school fees. The child doesn’t have money now, so I need to put that on camera for anybody that owns a school who is watching this, do not embarrass the child because he is owing school fees.

So it was really embarrassing for me at that point because I think it affected my esteem too at that point because, I remember one incident, I was in JS3 because they used to come to this class to name people that owe tuition fees.

Nobody will help you when you’re down but will come around you when you’re made. It’s a very bad omen in Nigeria to neglect people when they are struggling.
