Nigerian Students Sue Alabama State University For Treating Them ‘like Animals’ by SoluB: 8:05am On Sep 13, 2016
In their lawsuit filed last week in federal court, the students namely Thankgod Harold, Success Jumbo, Savior Samuel, Godsgift Moses, Promise Owei & 30 others, complained that after collecting millions of dollars from Nigerian government, the university started discriminating against them.


They alleged the school overcharged them for books and meals, enrolled them in classes they never took, and more, all because they were black foreigners.

“They called us cash cows,” said Jimmy Iwezu, an ASU alum who claims the university intentionally mismanaged millions from a scholarship fund set up by the Nigerian government that was paid in advance for every exchange student. “I’m a black man and I’m proud to be black, but I felt discriminated against.” See the entire news here http://www.istylmagazine.com/news/across-the-world/nigerian-students-sue-alabama-state-university-for-discrimination-and-treating-them-like-animals/
