An HND II student has gone viral after lamenting the huge financial burden of her education, revealing she has spent ₦7.8 million since starting her programme.
In a trending video, she expressed frustration over constant payments and rising bills.
“If I knew HND was this hard, I’d have married before schooling,” she said.
“Everywhere bill, bill, bill. ₦7.8 million wey I carry come this school don finish because of pay, pay.”
The student added that after graduating, she plans to move straight to her husband’s house to avoid paying rent.
Her video has sparked mixed reactions online. While many sympathized with her struggle and pointed to the high cost of education in Nigeria, others questioned whether marriage should be seen as an alternative to financial hardship.
The conversation has reignited debates about the affordability of tertiary education and the need for scholarships and government support.
