My coursemates and I contributed ₦1.2 million for one of our classmates who has been jobless for the past 6 years.
We raised the money to help him learn a skill or start a small business so he could get back on his feet.
Just last week, he sent his wedding invitation in the group.
The whole group went silent.
When we asked him why, he said since he now had “a little money,” he decided it was the right time to marry his girlfriend of 4 years.
We said nothing.
He sent another message:
“Guys please, I can’t do this alone. My wedding budget is ₦3.2 million. I need your support.”
They removed him from the group immediately🙄
My friend from Argentina told me that they are doing the same with concerts and festivals. If you have money to buy a ticket, you have money for you child. Period.
