Please fact check me.
Average tuition fees at Nigerian public universities = ₦50,000 or $65.
Average tuition fees at Ghanaian public universities = GHS17,145 or $1503.
Average tuition fees at British public universities = £9,250 or $11,900.
Average tuition fees at European public universities = €10,000 or $11,128.
Average tuition fees at American public universities = $10,400.
Yet, you are here saying 'Nigeria is finished', 'Nigeria is useless' because of an increase of tuition fees from ₦19,000 to ₦190,250 at one university?
Ghana has a minimum wage of GHS446, or $40 per month. Yet, Ghanaians pay twenty five times what we pay in tuition. Do Ghanaians earn twenty five times what Nigerians earn in minimum wage? Is fuel cheaper in Ghana than in Nigeria? I was in Ghana two months ago. Believe me when I say that you would fare better economically in Nigeria than in Ghana. Is Nigeria as wealthy as the UK, US, and the EU? Nigeria is not such a bad country. If you think the cost of education is too high, then try the cost of illiteracy!

I am honoured by the Award of Excellence bestowed on me by the Coalition of Registered Political Parties (CRPP), Edo State, today in acknowledgment of my contributions to socio-economic development efforts in our state and dear country.
I thank the CRPP for this recognition and pray that the Almighty God continues to grant me the wisdom, vigor, and opportunities to keep serving to the best of my abilities.
