What Nigerians are saying;
I’m not surprised! I heard girls kneel and boys prostrate anytime the school proprietor passes by!

When I say our problem in the country is more than what the eyes can see and mind can comprehend, same folks passing the laws in this unis are the same ones sleeping with the same students for grade, saints in public but demons behind the curtains

On one hand, Afe Babalola cannot be blamed. I reliably learnt that some of the students are impregnating themselves. And this has generated a lot of issues and concerns for the Founder by the parents. I can’t blame him.
