Everybody has any option. Not only Nigerians study abroad. Some people would prefer going to Unilag for B.sc but doing Masters abroad while others prefer doing everything aboard. its a choice as long as the parents can afford it. Or as you saying that there are no wealthy nigerians studying in Unilag?

Meanwhile Jonathan's children are schooling in Nigeria
Buhari is supposedly penniless and had to beg from Amaechi to get registered as a candidate but can pay school fees for children in London
That is the fraud that is packaged as change

lurther:
Yes! No doubt, Buhari's daughter trended on twitter yesterday, after some of her pictures went viral. I am very happy for her that as a beautiful daughter of Buhari, a leading presidential candidate in the forthcoming elections, Priviledges like this come along.

I am not actually fused by Buhari's daughter trending because she is beautiful or she is Buhari's daughter, i am so shocked about the information i got about her.

The Information is that, Buhari's daughter is based and schooling in the united kingdom. She is a 400level student of microbiology in the university of surrey Uk according to lindaikeji.

My take on this:

1. It is no secret that why our politicians keep their children abroad, they use other people's children to achieve their aim.

2. Residing and schooling in the United Kingdom is very expensive. Buhari have been touted severally to be a saint that cant afford even a house, but, just one of his daughter that we have information on, is schooling in the Uk, I don't know about his other children.

3. It is high time nigerians as a whole begin to ask pertinent questions about our leaders and not just follow sheepishly whatever they hear. A politician will always be a politician.

4. Nigeria has pressing issues, very pressing issues, i actually do expect a Hashtag like #SayNoToTerrorism to trend amongst our youth in solidarity with the nigerian Army fighting night and day to end terrorism, but, it is a lady based in the UK that is trending.

5. Say No To Election Violence. #SayNoToElectionViolence should be our watchword. Why we kill ourselves, destroy our hard-earned properties, let us ask ourselves, were are the politicians of this children. Are their own properties even being tampered with?

My take on this issue is not just based on only Buhari's daughter, but on all politicians in these country. I strongly believe that, why they fight for power here, their children are somewhere abroad enjoying the perks of being offsprings of them.

#SayNoToTerrorism , #SayNoToElectionViolence

I don't care where she's studying.

Would have been more concerned if she was studying in France.

Alphaoscar:
@ op, you are ignorant of the fact that when they say GMB is poor nobody is saying he is a pauper that can't live a comfortable live but what they are saying is that when you consider him with the wealth amass by officers even below his rank in Nigeria you will know he is indeed a poor former Head of State, a poor General and a poor ex-minister in Nigeria.



Their is a provision for GMB children educational upkeep in his pension package in case you don't know and the general's pension package can easily offset his children's education to any university in this world and you should also remember the fact that Mrs Buhari is not a full-time housewife that can't contribute meaningfully to the upkeep of the family.



what is even the big deal about sending someone's daughter abroad again when butchers, market women, teachers , retirees are sending their wards abroad for education.

trapangels:

i understnd u, bt u see i dnt just believe in dis GMB man. If it was anoda person apc brought, then i might ave fallen 4 them. Bt u see dis man, there is more to him dan u can see. There r lots of secret in dis politics of a tin n if u think u r voting 4 a party n nt d person, then u must be mistaking cus most of them fall out with dir party people @ tyms. So it is more of d person dan d part. Look @ lag 4 instance, its d person making d diff n nt d party. Cus if it is d party, then "all" apc states n nt some shld b d best.

Dumb idio.t, the president's children school in Nigeria. As do the kids of many 'rich' people.

brownlord:


Nothing, but cretins like you who may even be more intelligent than Buhari's daughter are left to spend 6 years in Nigeria University with another one year of serving your country and then continue your selfless service in roaming the street of lagos searching for job.

You got to put your brain to use my friend, Why will buhari's daughter be schooling abroad? he goes for medical trip abroad while you struggle to get bed space in Luth. Mumu

Clemzzz:
@op,you may be right but you wouldn't have said that if your dad had sent you schooling abroad.

Geeweeny:

Lol,couldn't help but laugh, so why are u not in UK studying or living?. this is the problem of Nigeria,maybe u should really check on how much a uni education cost for international students in UK

berem:
and I am still asking,what's so special about studying abroad? Even though your answer sounds vague,this is a baseless story.

Next!!

Your degree is an investment in your future career. Tuition fees for UK/EU students on our undergraduate degree programmes are currently set at £9,000 per year, so that we can continue to deliver a wonderful education and a degree that is rated by your future employers.

http://www.surrey.ac.uk/discover/undergraduate-tuition-fees-bursaries-scholarships-2015-entry

£9000 * 270 = N2430000

Note that that is for Uk/EU students, foreign students would pay nothing less than N3m and this is for tuition alone, excluding accommodation, and other charges, what about living allowances and everything?

From a man that wants us to believe he has just one million naira. OK even he could afford this for his daughter, how is he sustaining other children?

N3MILLION DIVIDED BY 12MONTHS is N250000/month, with all other allowances and fees, total cast of this girl studying abroad should hit at least N5m/year

N5MILLION DIVIDED BY 12MONTHS is approximately N417,000/month.

Please tell me how many average Nigerians earn such, how many market women earn such. Even doctors in our University don't earn such while professors earn a little over this.

By the time you take into consideration the cost of sustaining other members of the family... Or is she on scholarship?


Lets say they can afford it, the old argument of our leaders children studying abroad comes up.

olas24u:


Many Nigerians were born in the U.k and return back to Nigerian and then are back for university education at lower cost,because citizens don't pay the same fees,so some parents planned for their children why some did not and just because some people planned ,their will no need for trying bring them down

mrmetoo1:
I'll just say this, I schooled in the US and I know for a fact that its not only rich kids that school abroad, as a matter of fact very far from it. I grew up in a pretty middle class home but there are some settings you get into in your school that you feel like the rich kid while other settings you feel like a pauper. A lot of students hustle their way to the US after they gain admission, maybe what they do is look for the first year school fees and work hard like there's not tomorrow to continue with student aid (scholarship). This is how most Nigerians got by in my school, even students from well to do families.

OneNaira6:


Do you honestly think she got in through scholarship? Or paying her tuition through scholarship. Granted it is possible for Nigerians, be it rich or pauper to go through school aboard, majority of the kids you described are not shopping in chanel or gucci. Neither are they paying hundreds for photoshoot. Let's think about it, the girl has to live in an apartment or house depending on where her father puts her at..depending on how nice it is will determine her monthly rent, internet, light, water, etc bill, then school books, food, car and gas depending on whether she drives. If she doesn't, daily transportation fee and much more. Let's assume she's paying her tuition by scholarship, what about the rest of her living expense. Her father claims he barely have much therefore, someone in her predicament wouldn't be shopping in stores too expensive for the average person.

Btw: student aid is meant specifically for students that are citizen. A Indian friend of mine is a 4.0gpa student yet till date, he's not receiving student aid. Loans and school scholarship, yes but the boy still have to hustle. The government refuses to help since he is not a us citizen. Idk if the policy is the same in uk.

mrmetoo1:


I see a lot of assumptions here, then I'm sorry where did you guys see the Gucci or Chanel? I've been seeing that story around but I've just decided not to comment. I've looked at the picture she's in a store and I don't see Gucci anywhere so how do you guys know it's a Gucci store?

Then you're totally and absolutely wrong that financial aid is meant for only citizens. When you ask me if I think she's on scholarship, my simple answer is why not? As long as she's bright she might be eligible.

Weah96:


Permanent residents in the US qualify for almost anything. Is the girl a resident or an international student? That is the million dollar question. My guess, she's paying CASH.

 International students are not eligible for the US government aid programs (Pell Grant, SEOG Grant, Stafford Loan, Perkins Loan, PLUS Loan, and Federal Work-Study).

mrmetoo1:


What are you saying? Permanent residents qualify for anything, who disputed that? What I'm saying is international students too get financial aid well. I thank God you said "guess" you don't know. We all can "guess" whatever story makes us sleep better
