A Nigerian man has ignited a flurry of online reactions after sharing an old receipt from his university days, which starkly highlights the significant economic changes in Nigeria over the years. The receipt, issued by Rivers State University to a former student named Henry Omoregie, has gained widespread attention on social media.
The vintage receipt, dating back to earlier years, astonishingly displays the total fees for an entire academic year at Rivers State University as a mere N340.
Henry Omoregie shared this photo on Facebook, emphasizing the dramatic shift in Nigeria's economic landscape. In his caption, he remarked, "340 Naira only for the state university (Rivers). My Federal University's tuition fee was 10 naira only during the same epoch (the University of Ibadan)."
This revelation has prompted a deluge of reactions from netizens who couldn't help but express their thoughts on the post. Esther reminisced, "Tuition fees went slightly higher when I was admitted for my Masters in 1992, yet it remained affordable, below 2 thousand Naira, and all fees were paid!"
Nosa Eke provided a stark economic perspective, stating, "Dollar-wise, it hasn't changed much. Multiply that by 1000, and you've got a 1000% inflation rate. We are in dire straits."
Sammie Sam harked back to a time when the nation was in better shape, saying, "When the country was good."
Gabriel joined the conversation, noting, "Wow, archival Oregie, this was even higher than what we paid at UI during this same era, and you were also a witness to this."
Kiddy Jenkins highlighted the current reality, revealing, "Presently, fees for new entrants studying Microbiology at Uniport are one hundred and ninety-three thousand Naira (193,000.00). And that's just the beginning; other levies, including a sexual harassment levy to be paid solely by female students, come into play. We pray for divine intervention."
Evbota underscored the stark contrast between then and now, asking for solutions, as the current situation in Nigeria appears unsustainable. The viral receipt serves as a poignant reminder of the evolving economic landscape and the challenges facing students and education in the country.
