Students in Nigerian universities have stories to tell, but hardly anyone to tell them to.

For a Nigerian father, it is not enough that you made it to university. No, no. “Any random person can go to the university,” they’ll say. To them, it’s the course you study that matters. 1. Medicine This is top 2 and it’s not number 2. A Nigerian father’s ultimate dream is to say, “My […]
