Uche Nnaji, a fashion entrepreneur made this thought provoking post on parents and exorbitant school fees. Read below:<\/p>\n
In the last 2months 4 young Families and Friends I know have relocated with their kids from Nigeria to Canada| UK | and the US.
\nOne common reason they all gave was the constant rise in school fees . One even told me that \u201c Uche , my children now attend a CATHOLIC school that is going to be 70yrs old this December and guess what THE SCHOOL IS FREE, I don\u2019t have to pay anything since we migrated legally and to think the school is far better than the school my children were attending in Lekki where I was working to just pay school fees.
\n.
\nSo the other day , a client told me that he cannot afford to pay\u00a0#150k\u00a0for a Tuxudo. Curious I asked WHY , he said that he was paying a little over\u00a0#7m\u00a0as school fees for 3 of his kids schooling in Nigeria. And just today another client also tells me he is looking for suits of not more than\u00a0#80k because he just paid over\u00a0#3m\u00a0for his 2 kids both in primary schools.
\nHonestly this trend is getting me worried for MEN as I wonder , who is putting MEN under this much pressure to now see HIGH school fees as a bragging right?<\/p>\n
Where is all these pressure leading us to ? At this rate , Do you even plan to stay alive and see these children finish this schools?.
\n.
\nNigerians, Instead of us to take a stand , Speak Up and REVIVE the missionary schools that most of you attended and turned out successful people today, We are busy bragging about paying\u00a0#2M\u00a0FOR ACCEPTANCE FEE FORM for certain PRIMARY SCHOOL on the island .
\n.
\nMen&Women who ought to speak up have all looked the other way while Schools like KC, QC and Igbobi colleges which they attended is no longer befitting for their children to attend.
\n.
\nCan we just PAUSE for a minute and retrace our footsteps ???.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
